A CATERING team serving food to university students has been praised for providing healthy cuisine.

The team at the University of Durham's Queen's Campus, Stockton, has been awarded all three levels in the Food for Health Award Scheme.

The award recognised the high levels of food hygiene, service and healthy eating provided by the team.

The health scheme is sponsored by Stockton Borough Council's environmental health officers and local healthcare providers.

The Waterside Room, which overlooks the River Tees, serves food to the campus population of more than 1,900 staff and students.
