Next Tuesday marks the end of a 12 month training program for 12 individuals. It’s been an incredible year for our group of learners in Chef School 2017/18 and we’re nearly at the end of what has been an engaging, enlightening and educational road for them. The Chef School Final kicks off on Tuesday 10th April in Holiday Inn Norwich North – where the chefs will be put to the test in a classic cook off competition. They go head to head for the chance to win life changing chef experience in a Top Class Restaurant and there can only be one winner. To keep up with the competition as it unfolds be sure to follow our #Takeover on The Staff Canteen Instagram account on the day! See you there.
