Peter won over the panel of judges, which included Care UK Residential Care Services managing director Andrew Knight, with his supreme of chicken stuffed with mushrooms and chorizo, served with a red wine and thyme jus. Peter also created an apple puff pastry tart with fresh blackberries and ice cream for dessert.
Peter McGregor, head chef at Perry Manor, said: “I was so thrilled to hear I had been named chef of the year. It’s wonderful to be recognised for my ability to create food that residents enjoy eating and highlight the standard of cooking at Perry Manor, which I couldn’t achieve without the support of my brilliant kitchen team.
“It was also great to see the excellent work of many of my colleagues throughout Care UK being recognised at the ceremony.”
The Care UK Residential Care Services Stars Awards ceremony took place on Thursday 26th November.
