Each year the winners of South West Chef of the Year are announced at a prestigious awards presentation evening. This evening brings about a very rare gathering of the South West’s leading chefs, including our judges and competitors, young chefs of the future, home cooks, suppliers and many other industry representatives. As such it is a true celebration of all sectors of the thriving South West food, drink and hospitality industries.
All are welcome to join us to enjoy a memorable dinner prepared by judges and previous winners of the competition, assisted in the kitchen and front of house by students of the Michael Caines Academy. You don’t have to be a competitor or involved in the competition in any way to come along.
The awards presentation evening takes place immediately following the finals of the professional and student chef categories and is sponsored and hosted by Exeter Golf and Country Club.
Following a delicious meal, including perfectly paired wines with each course, our finalists are relieved of the suspense as our awards are presented to the winners!
