Cooking up a storm at Battle of the Chefs

Students on Level 1 Hospitality & Catering courses squared off against one another in an attempt to impress the judges at the Medway Campus’ Pavilion Restaurant.

Dishes served up at the final included pork and braised scallion terrine for starter, pan-roasted haddock for main, and crème brulee for dessert, among others.

The competition was won by the 10 members of Team E, who beat Team C into second place.

Lecturer Johannes Keevey said: “Everyone who took part in this year’s event has done exceptionally well.

“Many of the students put in long hours to ensure everything went according to plan, and the teamwork and passion they displayed was a joy to witness.

“I’m so proud of everything they have achieved. They’ve done a fantastic job and the feedback I’ve received about the food has been nothing but positive.”

The Pavilion Restaurant is run almost entirely by students at the Medway Campus, under the watchful eyes of members of staff with a wealth of experience in the hospitality and catering industries.

It is open to the public from 12-2pm on weekdays and 6.45-9pm on Thursdays (term time only).
