A tasty new restaurant working with hard-to-employ youngsters has opened its doors to the public in Leeds city centre.
Create, on King Street, employs trainees from the Create Foundation’s training programme who are local homeless, marginalised or vulnerable people.
They are enrolled on a 12-week course and will work alongside industry professionals at the flagship restaurant.
Richard Walton-Allen left his job of 12 years as head chef of Harvey Nichols to become national executive chef at Create and oversee the Leeds restaurant, which opened to diners on Friday.
The award-winning chef said: “I’ve been in hospitality for 24 years and the people from the Create Academy are some of the brightest and most dedicated people I have ever worked with.
