National Waiter’s Day 2017

Forget the London Marathon, the big running event of the year arrives at Wivenhoe House on Tuesday 16 May when the National Waiters’ Day race launches from the starting blocks.

The National Waiters’ Day race is an annual hospitality industry occasion, celebrating the wonderful front of house staff working in hotels and restaurants around the country, and, at the same time, raising money for The Springboard charity, which helps young people into work.

We’re all limbering up here and practising running as fast as we can, while, in true waiter style, balancing a tray loaded with glasses.  Front of house staff and students from Colchester are invited to come along and join in the fun, all for a good cause.

If you need some inspiration then take a look below at our video from 2016
