Bristol24/7 is teaming up with Square Food Foundation to deliver two taster sessions in preparation for the new How to be a Chef programme launching in September.
The two-hour sessions take place on July 18 and 19 between 10 and 12.30 at Square Food’s headquarters in Knowle West, allowing young people to visit, ask questions, try some delicious food and familiarise themselves with the How to Be A Chef programme.
