On Tuesday 21 October, City of Bristol College held the Chef v Chef Regional Final which saw the competitors from the local heats which took place earlier in the year in Bath, Bristol & Cheltenham go head-to-head in a live cook-off to establish an over-all winner. There were some great prizes on offer and the winner of the 23 & over category walked away with £1,000 cash, an over night stay at Bovey Castle (including dinner, spa treatments & flying a hawk), a cookery book, Bristol Blue Glass Goblet and a Certificate. The winner of the under 23's took home £500 in cash, lunch for two at any Von Essen Hotel of his choice, a cookery book, Goblet & Certificate. The very well respected judges, Martin Blunos – Celebrity Chef, Gary Jones, Executive Chef – Le Manoir aux Quat Saisons and James Parkinson, Executive Head Chef – Von Essen Hotels were delighted with the results, saying "The competitors have really come a long way since the heats, they took on board the judges comments and the improvements are very noticeable. They are following current trends in cooking with a modern approach".
