Ashburton Scoops Gold Award

The Ashburton Cookery School & Chefs Academy was delighted to be recognised as one of Devon's premier training centres with a Gold Award at the 2023 Food Drink Devon awards held on Mon 2 October, 2023.

These gold standard awards celebrate the very best Devon has to offer by recognising the county’s most respected, influential and passionate artisan food and drink producers and establishments.

This year's glittering black tie awards ceremony, where the winners were announced, was held at Sandy Park, home to Premiership Rugby team, the Exeter Chiefs.  As well as the awards presentation, over 500 guests enjoyed a drinks and canapés reception, and a delicious 3 course meal all made with produce from Food Drink Devon members.

"It's always thrilling to be recognised as a top quality Devon business", says Chef Director of the cookery school, Darrin Hosegrove. "We train thousands of home cooks from across Devon to cook with skill and passion, and this is a wonderful recognition of all the hard work our team put in to making that an inspirational experience for our customers."
