WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“I put a lot of time and effort into preparing for this competition outside of my working hours so to be announced the winner was a massive weight off my shoulders. I felt that everything on the day went to plan and that what I put in front of the judges was worthy of a good position.

 

—  Nathan Lane, BCF Young Chef of the Year 2019
