Thursday 22nd September saw Mellors Development Chef Stuart Dale travel to Islington Metalworks in London to take part in the always fiercely competitive StrEATfood Awards, organised by Contract Catering Magazine.
This competition searches for the UK's most creative street food chef from the contract catering world. The 16 finalists created 3 dishes in a live cook-off, to see who would be crowned the 2022 StrEATfood Chef of the year.
After 50 nerve-wracking minutes of cooking, followed by painstaking deliberations from the judges, Stuart scooped the prize of Meat-Free Dish of the Year for his deliciously tasty arepas!
Massive congratulations to Stuart for this amazing win! He kept cool and calm in the pressure of the kitchen, not easy when you have a room full of spectators, and created a beautiful and tasty, award-winning dish.
Well done from everyone at Mellors.
