Beating Lexington into second place by just two points, the Sodexo Prestige team were delighted to collect their prize from quiz organiser Sheila Mitchell MBE and ACE Chairman Ruston Toms.
In third place were The Consultants, headed up by Chris Stern, who were beaten by just one point.
Operational development manager, Alexandra Kristall commented: “This is the third time we’ve entered. We’re generally middle or bottom of the leader board but we all had different strengths and that proved to be our winning formula this time! Our best round was European Royalty and the autographs, our worst round was the pictures of the herbs. Not good for a catering company. The event was the best it’s been so far, and it’s great to see it so well supported. We’ll be back next year to defend our title!”
There were 38 teams and 228 individuals taking part, representing many companies, large and small working in all sectors of the catering industry.
The evening was sponsored by United Coffee, and 3663 provided the raffle prizes. Proceeds from the raffle which amounted to £750 went to the Academy of Culinary Arts ‘Chefs Adopt a School’.
