Teams selected for the semi-finals will be accommodated in a local hotel the night before the competition and a welcome dinner for competitors and judges will take place at Gordon Ramsay Street Burger.
David McKown, director of the competition, commented: “We are incredibly excited to be hosting the semi-final in a new location this year and the facilities at the Gordon Ramsay Academy are first class.”
Teams will also be supported with travel costs thanks to a grant from the Savoy Educational Trust.
Gordon has said of the Academy: “The Academy is a place I’m so passionate about and proud of. Not only do we offer guests of all ages and abilities the chance to learn in what I hope is a fun, relaxed and also really informative way, but there are also many other exciting events to host and development opportunities to explore for chefs, home-cooks and anyone who loves food."
