STUDENTS from Wisbech Grammar School given secrets of running a fine-dining restaurant from Michelin-starred chef.

Galton Blackiston met the Year 10 pupils at his Michelin-starred restaurant at Morston Hall Country House Hotel near Blakeney as part of their food short course, run in conjunction with the world famous Leiths School of Food and Wine.

A familiar face on Saturday Kitchen Live and the Great British Menu, Mr Blackiston spoke for 45 minutes on the ingredients needed in a fine-dining restaurant.

Richard Bainbridge, head chef at the north Norfolk coast restaurant, talked to the students about the provenance of the ingredients, 80 per cent of which are from within a 40 mile radius.

Alison Sloan, head of food and nutrition, said: 'It was a really useful opportunity for the students to see first-hand what they are actually studying.'

England one day international cricket captain Alistair Cook, Delia Smith, Chris Evans are among the host of celebrities who have recently eaten at the restaurant.
