From state-of-the-art computerised cooking equipment to home-grown, hand-made ingredients; trendy tableware to beautiful bathroom supplies – you need look no further.
Moving into its second decade, Hospitality Week has its own established features including Live Theatre, sponsored by Nestlé – part of the highly respected Heart of England Salon Culinaire. It’s where over 800 national and international chefs will be competing over the four days for gold, silver and bronze medals for some of the top titles in the country.
Brand new classes, reflecting today’s catering trends, include the Fairfax Meadow Pub Main Course where judges will look for the most creative meat, poultry or game course for a modern pub environment. The Ethnic Class provides the opportunity for chefs to demonstrate their expertise in ethnic cuisine using at least three ingredients from sponsors British Pepper & Spice. Also new for 2001 is an Organic Produce Class, and the Gallo Rice Master Class.
