CELEBRITY chef Andrew Nutter cooked up a treat of a visit for students at Elms Bank Community High School when they wanted to learn more about the restaurant trade.

The former Prestwich chef welcomed a group of eager youngsters and staff to his restaurant, Nutters, which is situated in Cheesdon near Edenfield.

The trip was organised for students in the extended education department at Elms Bank, which caters for 16 to 19-year-olds, as part of a careers project.

The teenagers are currently learning about the different jobs and careers on offer after they leave school.

Andrew led the group on a tour of the restaurant and introduced them to the basic aspects of running a successful business and how to make a delicious nettle soup!

Headteacher of Elms Bank High School, Lynn Lines, who accompanied the group on their visit said: "Andrew is currently making authentic dishes from this area and he showed us how to make Cheesdon nettle soup. He had us all outside picking nettles then showed us the finished dish. It was lovely."

She added: "Andrew is a perfect host. It was an excellent visit and the students thoroughly enjoyed themselves. I'm not sure if we have any budding chefs but they picked up a few tips."
