Wessex Salon Culinaire

The UK’s largest live culinary competition, the Wessex Salon Culinaire, will next year take place at Brockenhurst College on 3rd and 4th April 2012.

The popular event, which is held in association with the Craft Guild of Chefs, has grown in stature over the years and is a great platform for student chefs especially to get a first taste of competition experience.

Judge of the Wessex Salon Culinaire and Craft Guild vice president, Stephen Scuffell, said: "The salon events we'll be holding include hot, cold and restaurant service classes. These classes really get to grips with a host of aspects of the industry under competition conditions. We want to encourage as many entries as possible, as it's a fantastic arena for chefs to really put their skills to the test."
