Young Chef

There was plenty of interest from pupils of year 8 and 9 in the Rotary Young Chef Compeition at King Henry VIII School on Tuesday 12th July 2022. The annual competition sponsored by the Rotary Club of Abergavenny attracted 16 entrants with two finalists going forward to the Abergavenny Rotary Club Young Chef Competition at the Food Festival in September 2022. "The standard and quality of the cooking was excellent again this year", said Club President Robert Parker, "and it is very encouraging for the future of the food industry in Wales that so many young people have a flair and passion for cooking".
