The Atrium Restaurant

Welcome to The Atrium Restaurant at Hertford Regional College, Broxbourne Campus.

We will be open with our Autumn Term menus from Tuesday 22nd September – Friday 25th October 2026.  

About the Restaurant

The Atrium is open to all to come and enjoy delicious, professionally presented food served to the highest standards by our trainee professional chefs and hospitality staff.

Serving and preparing food for guests in a real working restaurant means our students have a much better understanding of the elements involved in their respective courses, and gives them invaluable work experience for their future.

Our team of tutors draw upon a wealth of industry and teaching experience to instruct and guide our students in the preparation of a wide range of fantastic dishes using the finest ingredients.

Those working in the restaurant will also learn a variety of skills, as the restaurant is used for various activities such as charity events, buffets and gourmet dinners, as well as the regular lunchtime sessions.
