National Chef of the Year 2010

The National Chef of the Year competition,run by the Craft Guild of Chefs, acknowledges and rewards the crème de la crème of today’s chef talent and is one of the UK’s most respected culinary challenges.

The competition has been running since 1972 with many of the winners going on to establish themselves as highly aspirational members of the culinary fraternity, whether celebrity, Michelin Starred or well respected amongst their peers.

We are confident that this years search for the very best chefs will be exciting and in many ways ground breaking.
