Chef v Chef Regional Final
[Posted: 12 September 2008]

As the main sponsor of the Chef V Chef competitions held annually in Bath, Bristol & Cheltenham, we are pleased to announce the forthcoming Regional Final is taking place in October.

 

This will see the winners from the local heats go head-to-head and establish an over-all winner in both the under 23's & over 23's category.

 

Now in its fourth year, the competition continues to go from strength to strength. We have been delighted with the standard of creativity and culinary expertise demonstrated. The goal is to improve skills and training, thereby increasing standards, whilst utilising local produce (aims well recognised by the industry and our respected judges).

 

If you wish to enter or sponsor this prestigious event go to the website www.chefvchef.co.uk
