The Gallery Restaurant
Brighton fine dining for less
Come dine with us
The Gallery is a licensed training restaurant delivering high-quality food and service provided by Brighton MET students.
Our students have gone on to win such prestigious prizes as Young Chef of the Year and The Roux Scholarship and to run Michelin recognised restaurants. Alumni Ben McKellar owns the growing chain of restaurants under the Gingerman group, located in and around Brighton. Head Chef at The Ginger Dog, James Villiers, is also a former student. James gained recent fame for reaching the semi-final of the BBC’s ‘MasterChef: The Professionals’ in 2016.
We work closely with the Exclusive hotel chain when our level 3 student chef's level college to progress their learning and development from commis Chef to Chef de Partie.
We have so far placed 49 college leavers who have been successful in their application into the Chef Academy Programme in the last 10 years.
