The Finalists, Harvey Perttola from 1 Michelin Star Hampton Manor and Oliver Dovey from Baxter Storey, have completed day 1 of the weeks Final at Restaurant Sat Bains with Rooms.
The guys were given a warm welcome by Head Chef John Freeman, then shown to their sections and introduced to the team, including Chef Proprietor Sat Bains, who was able to dedicate his time to inducting them into the ethos and processes used in the kitchen, as well as getting to know their full time roles at Hampton Manor and Baxter Storey.
As you can imagine there was a lot of prep to get on with [!]; florets, picked melon, kale crisps, kale puree and smoked squash puree but stand out elements for them were Chicken Liver Nitro Muesli, the Coal Mayonnaise [which blew them away] and the huge variety of Herbs cultivated in the Glasshouse, which are literally ‘snipped to order’!
Keep up to date with events on here, full diaries and pictures will be published after the week has been completed.
