The competition is open to student and apprentice chefs aged 23-years-old or under as of 12 April 2022, with the final taking place that day at Central Bedfordshire College.

Competitors will have 60 minutes to produce two portions of a two-course innovative menu featuring British poultry, which will consist of a starter featuring British turkey meat and a main course featuring British duck. The use of any other meat is prohibited from use in the dishes.

All dishes must be suitable for all year-round and for banqueting style catering for servings of up to 300 covers. All recipes must be original.

Competitors will also have 60 minutes preparation time prior to the start of the competition. The two winning dishes, starter and main, will be served at the 2022 British Poultry Awards on 22nd September 2022 at The Sheraton Park Lane Hotel.

The winning dishes may not be from the same entrant as dishes will be judged individually. The winners are invited to attend the awards to receive their trophy, and the opportunity of work experience at The Sheraton Park Lane preparing their dishes. They will also receive £100 of catering vouchers.
