March 30, 2022

Eight catering students at South Essex College entered this year’s International Salon Culinaire competition with Hotel, Restaurant and Catering (HRC) at the Excel Centre in London.

The students practised their culinary skills under pressure at the Roslin Hotel a week prior to the competition.

They secured seven silver medals in various categories for their culinary excellence.

For over a century, International Salon Culinaire has been one of the UK’s largest and most prestigious chef competitions. The competition has been a platform for chefs of all levels -  from talented young chefs training at college, to those who are well-established and firmly on their culinary career journey.

The students were in competition with other talented young chefs from colleges and universities across the country.
