Visitors were treated to a delectable menu comprising six courses of seafood followed by a mouth-watering dessert. The event was delivered in partnership with England’s Seafood Coast who set out to establish the English Riviera as an international seafood destination, inspired by Mitch Tonks and his celebration of local seafood with Brixham Fish Market at its heart.

The seven renowned chefs were; Simon Hulstone from The Elephant, Kirk Gosden from Rockfish, Ollie Ward from Hamiltons, Tom Ward from Rumour, Jordan Hatfield from Pier Point Restaurant Bar, Barry George from Cantina and Ashley Hamilton from The Curious Kitchen.
The event provided a fantastic opportunity for the students at South Devon College. During their studies, the students learn a broad range of practical, technical and theoretical skills linked with the dynamic Hospitality and Catering industry. Teaching and learning takes place in the commercially run Horizons restaurant and in fully equipped, industry standard kitchens. Students complete work experience placements to help them develop professionally in a real-life setting and many progress into an apprenticeship or full-time employment.
