At Walking Food Tours UK, we’re all about celebrating brilliant food, local talent, and unforgettable experiences—and sometimes, the best meals come from the most unexpected places. One of our favourite ‘hidden gems’ in Wrexham is iâl Restaurant – a college-run venue that delivers a truly standout dining experience.
Located within Coleg Cambria, iâl Restaurant is more than just a place to eat. It’s a hands-on training ground where the next generation of chefs and hospitality professionals sharpen their skills. The ambiance is elegant, the service is attentive, and the food has real wow factor—making it a favourite stop for our team when exploring the city.
College restaurants like iâl offer exceptional value and showcase the creativity and dedication of students learning their craft under the watchful eye of experienced mentors. Chef Brian Mellor, a passionate supporter of culinary education, has recently praised Ellesmere Port College for its high standards. We’ve also had fantastic meals at Liverpool City College, further proving that these venues deserve a spot on any food lover’s itinerary.
Whether you’re visiting Wrexham, Liverpool or another UK city, we highly recommend seeking out your nearest college restaurant. You’ll enjoy a high-quality meal, often at a fraction of the price, and support aspiring chefs on their journey. Win-win!
