Nestlé Toque d'Or®, the UK's premier student catering competition - announces the College of Food, University College  Birmingham has WON the coveted title at this year's awards ceremony held at the Dorchester, Park Lane, on 8th July.

The College of Food, University College Birmingham competed at the very highest of standards, against Blackpool & The Fylde College, Belfast Metropolitan College, Grimsby Institute of Further Education, and Colchester Institute in the regional finals and then the Grand Finals at the BBC Good Food Show.

Chairman of Judges, acclaimed chef James Tanner, said; "I want to congratulate the College of Food, University College  Birmingham once again.  The entire team really rose to the occasion at the BBC Good Food Show in the Grand Finals.  I think it is incredibly easy to forget how young the individuals competing are and the phenomenal journey they have been on.  It is a real test of skill, imagination, passion and commitment and what they manage to achieve is often nothing short of exceptional.  I am privileged to be part of the competition and recognise the pivotal role it plays in developing the future of hospitality talent."
