Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Celebrates Outstanding Young Hospitality Talent
The Savoy Educational Trust was pleased to support the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Annual Awards of Excellence 2026, recognising the achievements of talented young chefs, pastry chefs and waiters.
The Awards of Excellence provide an opportunity for emerging professionals to demonstrate their technical knowledge, practical skills and professionalism through a demanding assessment process.
This year’s celebrations also marked the introduction of trophies named in honour of three individuals whose contribution has helped shape the Academy and the wider hospitality industry, including the Brian Turner Trophy.
Alongside its support for the Awards of Excellence, the Trust also supports the Ramon Pajares Excellence Scholarship, providing further opportunities for young hospitality professionals to develop their knowledge and experience.
Competitions, awards and scholarships play an important role in recognising achievement and encouraging continued professional development.
