Angela Maher, chief executive of the Savoy Educational Trust, said: “Competitions like the UK Young Restaurant Team of the Year play a vital role in helping young people bridge the gap between classroom learning and the realities of our industry.

“What makes this initiative special is the way it brings chefs and front-of-house students together to operate as a true team, building confidence, precision, and professionalism in a live service environment. We are proud to support an experience that challenges students, connects them with industry mentors, and broadens their horizons far beyond the college kitchen.”
