It's great fun, bring your best mates and face each other or join in with a larger group. Adrenalin pumping activity for all ages. Tickets usually cost $45 each so it's a bargain!

Six of our NZQA Diploma Cookery students signed up for the New Zealand Hospitality Championships – previously known as the Culinary Fare run by the New Zealand Chefs Association at the recent Hospitality Hui held on on September 19, 2022.

Planning took place over the previous six weeks where the students formulated their dish concepts. Practical cooking sessions enabled them to test and try out their culinary ideas and refine their dishes.

These efforts were boosted by the reflections of our Head Chef Finn Gybel and his stories of when he had competed in Denmark nearly 20 years ago. Back then, our Chef Finn was sous chef to René Redzepi, now rated as one of the great chefs of the world.

As a result, we won 1 Gold, 2 Silver and 2 Bronze medals.
