CATERING students have put on a feast to raise money for a hospice in memory of former Northern Echo assistant editor Tony Metcalf.
The level three students at Darlington College used ingredients from their final assessment to cook a six course tasting menu and put on a feast in aid of the town's St Teresa's Hospice.
Senior lecturer Dawn Cobb-Neate and restaurant manager Lesley Cain-Metcalf organised the event because the hospice is a cause close to their hearts.
Lesley’s husband Tony, who worked at the Northern Echo for 13 years and was head of journalism at Darlington College, was looked after by the hospice as was Dawn’s father.
