Compass Group UK and Ireland chefs celebrated an impressive haul of awards at this year’s International Salon Culinaire. They secured six Best in Class awards, plus one Gold, 12 Silvers, 19 Bronzes and 10 Diplomas.
The event provides an opportunity for chefs to test their skills and creativity in a competition environment, set across 120 live and static challenges over a three-day event. In total, the caterer’s team took part in 29 different competitions across the three elements – Salon Live, Salon Display and Skills Theatre.
Nick Vadis, culinary director of Compass Group UK and Ireland, said: “Events like this are a great experience to challenge our chefs and for them to learn. It’s also a great opportunity to showcase the industry and encourage others to join.
“Our awards have gone to a wide variety of our talent, from our junior apprentices to our more senior exec chefs. This demonstrates the importance of investing in our chef talent at all levels and the programmes created for them to progress and develop.
“With lots of new competitors this year, it is an incredible result. Well done to everyone involved.”
