The Toque D’Or competition commenced in 1988 with the aim of encouraging young chefs and waiters to recognise their potential talent and encourage their personal pursuit of excellence. It is a national competition that links industry and education. By competing, colleges can raise their profile by showcasing the qualities and capabilities of the students, as well as their teaching excellence. Competitions such as the Nestlé Toque d’Or go some way to improving students’ learning, employability and organisational skills.


Each college team consists of a chef and front of house student. From the 22 colleges that participated in the initial heats between February and April at 6 different competitions and Salons around the UK, 8 colleges were selected to compete in the four-day Grand Finals event from the 9th-12th May 2013. At the finals the teams were asked to perform a wide variety of catering challenges that not only tested their ability but also demonstrated the breadth and richness of the foodservice industry. The 8 finalists were University College Birmingham, South Downs College, Blackpool & the Fylde College, The South West College – Dungannon, City of Glasgow College, University of Derby, Liverpool Community College, and West Anglia College.

The Roux Scholarship offers the winner a career changing opportunity that is unrivalled and stretches far beyond the much coveted 3 month stage at a 3 Michelin starred restaurant. It is what follows that really counts and the advice and guidance that the Roux family gives that can make a career truly exceptional.
