June’s BCF Chefs’ Club Lunch was held with the 2019 MasterChef: The Professionals winner, Stuart Deeley, at Smoke, Hampton Manor, a 24 bedroomed five-star hotel located within a 45-acre estate in Solihull. The hotel boasts two award-winning restaurants, an artisan bakery and cookery school.
The Birmingham born and bred chef also gave a masterclass in cooking over coals in his converted old furnace house situated inside a charming walled kitchen garden, followed by an outstanding lunch with impeccable and friendly service.
After lunch, members had the pleasure of a tour of the gardens and the Michelin-starred Grace and Savour restaurant.
The sold-out event was yet another memorable day in the BCF calendar.
