Enta, based in Mill Wharf, provides halal food to businesses, social events and nurseries in the city.
The local training provider has recently won a contract to supply a nursery in the area with halal food, which is made at its purpose-built Halal Kitchen.
The Mill Wharf site, which offers catering and deliveries, was built by the social enterprise’s own construction trainees and tutors.
The project allowed trainees to gain on-the-job experience while working to deadlines.
Social enterprise development manager at Enta, Pamela Wood, said: “We already have traditional conference catering facilities and Top Lock Café here at Mill Wharf, so the Halal Kitchen was a natural addition to our offer.
“Being able to use our trainees to build the dedicated kitchen area was great for everyone involved – it gave the teenagers essential work experience and allowed us to keep the build costs down.
“As a result, we can offer brilliant value for money so our customers really benefit too.”
Among the most popular recipes on the menu are Lentil Tarka Dahl – a lentil curry made with a base of coriander and garlic – Chicken Rogan Josh, which is made with a tomato and onion-based sauce, and a chick pea with spices vegetarian option.
