Introducing the brand new catering experience for Peterlee - The Grove restaurant at East Durham College!
Opened in 2023, The Grove's mission is simple; tasty food, great prices and giving opportunities to our superstar chefs in the making who are studying catering and hospitality here at EDC.
Formerly known as Scene 1, The Grove had an extensive revamp in the summer of 2023, and is now the perfect space for everything from a leisurely lunch, delicious evening meal, corporate event or anything else you can think of!
Food at The Grove is freshly prepared by students who are studying with us here at EDC, supervised at all times by our highly experienced chef-lecturer team. The food we serve is held to the same high standards you'd expect at any restaurant...and we dare say it's better than some too!
The Grove has a fully licensed bar with a drinks menu featuring a selection of wines, spirits and more, so you can also have the perfect tipple to accompany your meal too.
