Students from the College’s Level 3 Professional Cookery and Level 3 BTEC Year 2 courses will work alongside industry professionals in a live hospitality setting, showcasing their culinary talent. Supporting both kitchen production and front-of-house service, students will gain first-hand insight into the pace, precision and high standards expected at premium venues such as Goodwood Racecourse.
This initiative reflects the College’s commitment to industry-led learning, building on a partnership with Goodwood that has developed over several years and provides students with meaningful, real-world experiences.
The Season Opener menu will feature high-quality, locally sourced seasonal ingredients. Students will assist in preparing and serving dishes such as Goodwood pork terrine to start, South Coast hake for the main course, and an indulgent dessert option including dark chocolate cremosa.
The students have already developed their experience through a series of practical opportunities, including working alongside Goodwood chefs during a takeover at the College’s Restaurant 64. They have also benefitted from specialist butchery, culinary, and food and beverage masterclasses, alongside competitive in-college challenges designed to reflect industry standards.

Diane Jackson, Head of Learning at Chichester College, said: “Opportunities like the Double Trigger takeover are invaluable for our students. Working in a live, high-pressure environment alongside industry professionals allows them to build confidence, refine their skills and understand what it takes to succeed in hospitality.”
As the Goodwood racing season begins, the Double Trigger restaurant takeover provides a platform for students to demonstrate their abilities in a high-profile setting, while highlighting the role of vocational education in preparing the next generation of hospitality professionals.
