Toque d'Or 2025 Competition Updates

Following a competitive initial entry, our competitors dive headfirst into the thrilling Toque d'Or heats. In the back of house, competitors demonstrate their creativity by crafting exquisite menus from a diverse selection of ingredients. Whilst our front-of-house competitors showcase their skills by expertly pairing each dish with a sustainable wine and the creative coffee to finish the meal. Who will rise to the challenge and earn a prestigious place among this year's 12 finalists?

Held at Wyken Vineyards and hosted in partnership with Pizza Pilgrims and Nestlé’s partner farm EJ Barker & Sons, the challenge offered a stunning backdrop for 12 rising stars of hospitality – six BOH and six FOH finalists – to deepen their knowledge of regenerative agriculture, provenance, produce and service.
