We also have our hotly fought Chef of the Year competition which is sponsored by Freshtime. This is the perfect place for chefs to showcase their creative flair. We are very lucky to be working with the team at College Hall, RAF Cranwell where the successful chefs invited to take part in our cook-off will get the opportunity to produce their menu for our distinguished judges.
