THREE of North Yorkshire's best chefs and waiters have beaten tough competition to reach this year's northern finals of the Young Chef Young Waiter competition to be held on Tuesday.
Chefs Neil Dove, of the Hazlewood Castle Hotel, Tadcaster, and Robert Ramsden, of the General Tarleton Inn, at Ferrensby, near Knaresborough, along with waitress Victoria Marr, of the Star Inn, Huby, are among 32 young chefs and waiters whose skills will be tested in front of a panel of judges, drawn from the country's best chefs and restaurateurs, at St Helen's College in Merseyside.
Flair, passion and enthusiasm are sure to be key for the hopefuls, of whom four chefs and four waiters will be chosen from each of two regional finals for a place at the national championships in London on October 14.
All the finalists will have won a trip to Rheims for a glimpse of the production process of champagne and the winner of the Young Chef 2002 award will get £2,000, plus a trip to Dubai to visit the world's only seven-star hotel, the Burj al Arab, and attend a specialist course at the Emirates Academy
