The competition was a great success and it was great to see so much local talent and enthusiasm in the catering industry. Catering is a growing area within the college so it’s brilliant for us to host a competition like this to showcase our outstanding facilities. It’s also great to see college students doing well in an open competition such as Chef V Chef as it helps to prepare them for the challenges of work and experience the pressures of working in a kitchen.

Congratulations to our winners who placed 1st and 2nd, who we look forward to welcoming back to our Cheltenham Campus in October for the regional final, competing against the winners from the Bath and Bristol heats.
