The British Culinary Federation

The formation of the British Culinary Federation is the result of the Midlands Association of Chefs and the Chefs & Cooks Circle joining together. The Chefs & Cooks Circle was the most senior chefs’ association, founded in 1948 and the Midlands Association of Chefs was an immediate success story, following its foundation in 1978.

The British Culinary Federation, World Association of Chef Societies National Member has been founded on a partnership between the Chefs and Cooks Circle and the Midlands Association of Chefs who, between them have over 85 years of experience in the industry.

The BCF is the only internationally recognised Chefs organisation for England.

A WORD FROM OUR OUTGOING CHAIRMAN

Lee Corke

After my two years in office as Chairman, I would like to thank everyone for their support during my time in the role. I have been a member of the BCF committee since its inception in 2005 and was a former committee member of the Chefs and Cooks Circle which merged with the Midland Association of Chefs.

I will be moving to the Executive as a Vice President and will carry on my role overseeing the England National Culinary Teams as an advisor. I will continue to work hard towards maintaining the continued success of the British Culinary Federation.
