Staff at ‘The Orchard’ in Newport have been celebrating the recent success of chef de partie Charlotte Fenney who creates the wonderful desserts on the menu at the restaurant.
Charlotte who has worked with head chef Peter Roberts for eighteen months in the company’s other business ‘Call in The Caterers’ represented the catering company in the Staffordshire Master-chef competition making it through to the final eight young chefs.
Charlotte had to suggest a three course menu and then cook it within a set time, just like the TV show in the kitchens at Stafford College. The team were delighted when she was awarded a tight second place for the hygiene award and came third overall in the county young chef of the year.
She was presented a platter, a certificate and a cash prize for her menu which contained elements from the Orchard’s summer menu. Charlotte is the second talented chef that has made it to this advanced stage of the competition with Peter as her mentor.
To sample Charlotte’s competition dishes, please ask staff at the restaurant next time you visit!
