This month, Richmond upon Thames College (RuTC) hosted three events in partnership with Gaucho restaurant in Richmond, for the Autumn International rugby tournament.
The events coincided with the England rugby team’s home games at Twickenham stadium, taking place on Saturday 2nd November, for the England v New Zealand match, Saturday 9th November, for the England v Australia match and Saturday, 16th November, for the England v South Africa match. Each event saw around two hundred and fifty guests, who booked tickets through the Gaucho restaurant website. Six of our Catering students and eight Front of House students worked with Gaucho chefs and staff to deliver professional events and create memorable experiences for those in attendance.
Visitors were greeted with drinks and canapes in our atrium space on arrival and then served a 3-course meal in the college restaurant, ‘The View’, looking over Twickenham stadium. They then made their way over to the stadium to watch the matches, after which, they then returned to RuTC to be served more food and drinks.
Guest speakers at the events included former England rugby union players, Josh Lewsey, Billy Twelvetrees and Simon Shaw, and former New Zealand player, Trevor Leota.
We will be hosting similar events for the upcoming Six Nations rugby tournament in February. Keep an eye out for more information.
