The Saltbush Training Restaurant at South Metropolitan TAFE Mandurah Campus is a live, interactive training environment to prepare our students for work in the hospitality industry.
Opened in early 2023, the restaurant is a purpose-built training facility where hospitality and cookery students can demonstrate their skills in preparing and serving food and drinks to members of the public.
Event students also coordinate, theme, and provide menu presentation together with advertising for special events that are staged at the venue.
