Marco Pierre White Prepares for Burnout at Barnet College

LONDON--(Business Wire)--
Staff and students got a culinary treat in January when celebrity chef Marco
Pierre White visited Barnet College.

Marco and his production team used the professional kitchen facilities at the
College to practise the format of his new show, `Marco`s Kitchen Burnout`,
currently showing on ITV1. Thirty lucky College diners sampled three menus
prepared by contestants.

Miles Holtby, Head of Catering and Hospitality at Barnet College said: "It was
fantastic for our students to meet and work with Marco. They talked of little
else for weeks afterwards and it was a real inspiration for them."

Barnet College has purpose-built catering facilities at its Grahame Park campus,
which include a fully-equipped kitchen and a contemporary restaurant, the
Pavilion. The College will be showcasing these and other facilities at the
Grahame Park open evening on 5 May 2010.
