News from The Royal Oak Swallowcliffe

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.
