UK Young Seafood Chef of the Year
Due to the developing situation with the COVID-19 outbreak, the decision has been made to cancel The UK Young Seafood Chef of the Year competition in 2020. More information on this decision will be available soon.
The UK Young Seafood Chef of the Year is open to all full-time and college based modern apprentice chefs. Highly regarded across the seafood industry for the valuable experience it gives to contestants, the competition provides young chefs with a platform to demonstrate their flair, understanding, skill and ability using seafood from sustainable sources.
Teams of two are tasked with creating a three-course menu using specially selected seafood species.
Regional heats take place across the UK in May where the young chefs will need to cook their menu, with the three highest scoring teams from each heat going on to compete at the Grand Final. Last year’s winners were announced as Kendal College at the 2019 Young Seafood Chef of the Year final, held at the Grimsby Institute on Friday 14th June 2019.
Winners of the UK Young Seafood Chef of the Year competition will gain a mystery prize for themselves which will be announced at the final and prize certificates will be awarded to the college and team members as well as the overall winners claiming the competition trophy; competition medal; and the following grand prize package
- £1000 Russums Voucher (for the college)
- £500 per team member
