A taste of the world at DLD College London

DLD College London recently welcomed Michelin-starred chef, Atul Kochhar, to declare its newly refurbished dining space, the ‘Global Kitchen’, officially open.

Throughout the Summer, the Westminster Bridge-based college invested heavily in transforming the space in to a bright and inviting area for their students. New and returning students were welcomed in to a colourful and imaginative space encompassing a theme of global food and reflecting the diversity of the college, with the highly-acclaimed guest officiating the proceedings.

In addition to the fresh appearance, DLD College London has appointed a new chef, Oliver Towler, who has embraced the theme with an ever-changing selection of exciting menus.

Irfan Latif, Principal at DLD College London commented, “It was an honour to welcome Atul to DLD to officially open our Global Kitchen. It was fantastic to hear him speak to pupils and staff, given his illustrious career at some of the UK’s top Indian restaurants. Atul has been at the forefront of changing how people perceive and experience Indian cuisine and indeed was the first ever Indian chef to receive a Michelin star, awarded in 2001 whilst he was at Tamarind in Mayfair. He spoke very warmly and kindly to students, and it was a real privilege to watch him unveil our new plaque, marking the occasion.”
