WELL DONE JACK!
Jack Rymar reached the finals back in 2018, but has now won the prestigious Teflon Diamond Standard Award Cookery Competition.
Jack said before the final: "I am a young chef who has a passion for good food and putting great flavours together in order to create tasty dishes.
I love working a kitchen environment and enjoy my job as a chef at the The Royal Oak Swallowcliffe. I aim to be a great chef one day and am looking forward to learning many new skills both at the competition and in the future with other great chefs.
I reached the finals of this competition back in 2018, however, winning this prestigious competition would benefit my career in a huge respect and I aim to do my best to impress the judges with my skills and creativity."
He won with his Roast Poussin served with Confit Poussin Leg, Red Pepper Puree & Salsa Verde Mash.
Huge congratulations from all of us at The Royal Oak.
