National Chef of the Year - Mentor Day 2025

We’re proud to be a sponsor of The Craft Guild of Chefs National Chef of the Year and be a part of this year’s Mentor Day, a two-day event hosted at the Waitrose & Partners Food & Innovation Studio that brought together the top 10 finalists for an unforgettable experience. ✨ Day 1 began with our Essential Cuisine team setting up and prepping at the Waitrose Food & Innovation Studio, ready for the exciting sessions ahead. From there, the group travelled over to The Odney Club, where finalists had the chance to settle in and connect over icebreaker games, insightful talks, Q&As, and of course, great food and drinks. The highlight of the day was The Culinary Conversation, hosted by David Mulcahy where industry voices came together to share advice and experience with the next generation of chefs. Day 2 continued the momentum as finalists were fully immersed in sessions and demonstrations, with our very own Howard Beasley, Ryan Graham and Robin Dudley teaming up with Thomas Foods International, Mark Ryder and Richard Sanders for a collaborative masterclass. Together, we showcased how premium meat and our high-quality products can pair perfectly to create something truly special. Throughout the video, you’ll hear from industry leaders, sponsors, and the finalists themselves as they share their thoughts on the value of Mentor Day - from building lifelong networks, to gaining first-hand insights, to experiencing the support of brands and chefs who are passionate about shaping the future of young talent. For us at Essential Cuisine, it’s always a privilege to stand alongside our other sponsors and play a role in supporting the next generation of culinary talent. 🌟 Follow us to keep up-to-date with the competition 💙
