Congratulations to Madi Williams and Jordan Bartholomew, both through to the semi-finals of South West Chef of the Year 2026! 🧑🍳👩🍳
The pair work together at Stoke Lodge Hotel in the Wildflower kitchen, and both have ties to South Devon College. Madi is currently training with us as a Chef Apprentice and is competing for South West Student/Apprentice Chef of the Year. Jordan, now Head Chef at Stoke Lodge, previously studied on our chef programme and is competing for South West Professional Chef of the Year.
Two brilliant results for our catering courses, and proof of the talent coming through South Devon kitchens. Good luck to Madi and Jordan in the semi-finals, less than two weeks away!
