Open to those working in care homes, day centres, lunch clubs, meals on wheels services, local authorities and other care organisations including hospices, the NACC Care Chef of the Year is the longest standing care catering competition in the UK.
The NACC Care Chef of the Year competition challenges entrants to create a delicious, nutritionally balanced two-course menu - main and dessert -suitable for service users in a care setting. The combined food cost for both courses is to be no more than £4.50 per head based on three portions, reflecting the tight budgets care chefs often have to contend with.
