Jermaine Weekes's Lasagne

The Bramley Campaign Group held the ‘New Ways With Bramley’ competition at Vincent Square on July 9th. The three finalists were selected from over 50 entries: Stuart Rendall from Brooklands College in Surrey produced a mouth-watering dish, ‘Sweet Polenta and Apple Pudding with Apple Ice Cream and Lemon Sauce’; Daniel Hills came all the way from Glenrothes College in Fife, and created ‘Bramley’s Brighter Breakfast’, an interesting combination of streaky bacon, black pudding and Bramley apples; Westminster Kingsway College student, Jermaine Weekes created an innovative dish, ‘Chocolate, Bramley and Blueberry Lasagne’, made with chocolate lasagne.

The judging panel included Willie Pike of Sodexho, Dan Bignold from Caterer and Hotelkeeper magazine and Ian Mitchell, Chairman of the Bramley Campaign. The first prize of £1000 (£500 for the student and £500 for their college) went to Daniel Hills. Runner-up prizes of £250 each went to Stuart Rendall and Jermaine Weekes. Ian Mitchell, Chairman of the Bramley Campaign said, “The quality of all the entries was outstanding and the panel was particularly impressed with the high standard of presentation”.

Vincent Square provided a great setting for the competition, with the three students being able to take full advantage of the superb facilities available. Well done to the students for successfully making it to the final three, and to Daniel Hills for winning the ‘New Ways With Bramley’ competition.
