Celebrity chef Marcus Wareing inspires new cohort of students

Capital City College Group was thrilled to welcome renowned celebrity chef Marcus Wareing to our Victoria centre yesterday, where he delivered an inspiring talk to our new cohort of hospitality and catering students as part of their induction.

During his visit, chef Wareing was interviewed by Claire Bosi, Editor of Chef Magazine, who asked him about his career, his work, and life in the culinary world.

Reflecting on his own journey, chef Wareing emphasized the importance of a solid culinary education, stating: ‘Catering school was one of the best decisions of my life. Learning techniques will be a key part of your life, so don’t rush it.’ He encouraged students to take their time mastering the fundamentals, highlighting how these skills would form the bedrock of their future success.

In addition to technical skills, chef Wareing urged the students to strive for excellence in all they do, and spoke about the importance of diverse work experiences, saying: “When it comes to work placements, don’t be afraid to try out new things in different environments. Choose good places and good people.”

The talk concluded with a heartfelt wish for the students’ success as they embark on their careers in the catering and hospitality industry. “This is an exciting time for you,” he said, “and I wish you every success as you take your first steps into this incredible profession.”
