Craft Guild of Chefs Announces 2025 Graduate Award Winners

The Craft Guild of Chefs has revealed the names of 10 young chefs who have achieved the prestigious Graduate Awards following an intense final exam at the University of West London.

Finalists were tested through written exams and a series of technical challenges, from filleting sea bass to creating dishes from a mystery basket, while pastry applicants produced hand-dipped gianduja chocolates, focaccia, and a celebratory croquembouche.

We were thrilled to celebrate the achievements of this year’s Craft Guild of Chefs Graduate Award winners. Supporting the next generation of hospitality professionals sits at the heart of our mission, and it’s inspiring to see such commitment, skill and determination from young chefs at this stage in their careers.
