The catering team at the motor museum and fine dining conference centre, saw off seven other regional finalists after almost 1000 votes were cast in Essential Cuisine’s nationwide competition.
After an initial paper judging stage, the teams were tasked with creating short videos that demonstrated the camaraderie, teamwork and cooking prowess within the kitchen.
The Heritage Motor Centre brigade channelled the spirit of The Italian Job and The A-Team to create a memorable short film that has been viewed over 550 times since its May launch.
Heritage Motor Centre head chef, Paul Kelly, said: “We’re over the moon. I’m proud to have a really close-knit, passionate brigade who enjoy cooking together and working for each other – hopefully that showed in our video entry.
“After making the video, we just tried to get the message out to as many people as we could that we were representing the Midlands – the response was just phenomenal.”
The team scoops the title of Britain’s best plus £1000 and an exclusive menu development masterclass with a leading UK chef.
The Heritage Motor Centre team cater for the museum café as well as delegates of the centre’s 25 meeting and function rooms. The winning video can be viewed below.
