Arla Pro Sponsors Young Chef Young Waiter
For the 2nd year running, we are proudly sponsoring Young Chef Young Waiter 2020. It's been a tough year, with many jobs lost and businesses all over the country suffering detrimental financial blows and forced closures due to the outbreak of COVID-19.

Whilst the support for the foodservice and hospitality industry continues, we believe it is imperative to keep the dreams and goals alive of young chefs and waiters all over the country.

Ruth Hansom
Darlington Born, Ruth Hansom moved to London to pursue her love of cooking at just aged 15 and has proved unstoppable in her pursuit of success. She trained at Westminster College Kingsway and was mentored by Master of the Culinary Arts, Frederick Forster. Since then, she had secured positions at the Boundary Restaurant, Pomonas, and The Ritz. Ruth's culinary talent and ability to stay composed in a highly tense environment has lead to her winning a plethora of awards. However, 2017 marked one of the most defining moments in her career, as she took the title of the first woman to be crowned 'Young Chef of the Year'. Ruth's flourishing culinary career continues as she has now joined the team as Head Chef at The Princess of Shoreditch restaurant in east London.
