I was with a big group enjoying a Christmas lunch at Clouds Restaurant. The students were really great and the meal was delicious. The Christmas pudding was the best I’ve ever had and served with unlimited brandy sauce. It’s years since I was there and I’d also forgotten how good the views are.

Enjoyed a fantastic lunch today at one of Southport’s hidden gems - Clouds Restaurant at Southport College. Superb food and excellent hospitality staff, good to see it busy. Superb views too!

A good afternoon yesterday, with thirty of us attending Clouds for lunch, a real hidden gem. Here, students learn the art of dealing with the public, front of house, or how to turn out meals while under pressure, in the kitchen. The ruling, that you never get a second chance to give a first impression, and the students live up to that ruling. I could almost swear that each one of them is inspected to make sure they come up to standards, with not a hair out of place. I also noticed that each one of them stood with almost ramrod straight backs, and you get the impression of entering a five star restaurant, right down to being greeted as you leave the lift. The food, as usual was of a high standard, and served, almost like a piece of art. On behalf of the group, may I thank all those who helped make our visit again, something special, and I know with the training you are receiving at Clouds, you will go far.

Had lunch at Southport College yesterday in the Clouds restaurant. Had soup then salmon for starter and mains and my desert was amazing – a brandy snap basket with chantilly cream, fruit and spun sugar. £15 for three courses with tea or coffee. Was amazing, I would highly recommend.
