British Culinary Federation

We aim to promote culinary skills throughout the industry and protect the interests of our membership. We are available to support and gain recognition for our members as highly skilled professionals within the hospitality industry and can provide information at all levels of the profession. To help us achieve this, we liaise with examining bodies and other educational and vocational establishments in relation to the culinary arts. We raise funds and can help provide scholarships to help student and trainee chefs to compete, work or study abroad. We have established an agreement with Les Toques Blanches Lyonnaises which gives member chefs the opportunity to work in some of the leading restaurants in Lyon. The British Culinary Federation has very strong links with the industry and its ties include schools, colleges and the support of an expanding number of professional supply companies. It is also involved in many competitions and salons culinaire throughout the country and abroad and presents many annual awards to industry.
