BARNSLEY College’s senior management team has taken part in the Junior MasterChef challenge final.

The team put on their chef whites to cook in the student led restaurant, the Open Kitchen.

Staff had to prepare, cook and serve three dishes including pulled pork burgers, traditional French casserole and baked seabass.

The food was made in industry-standard kitchens at the college and customers had the opportunity to critique and provide feedback.

Jess Leech, assistant principal for students and winner of the challenge, said: “It was a lot of fun to make the dishes and I’m proud to be crowned the Junior MasterChef winner.

“The event was fantastic and I now have a better understanding of the pressure our catering students feel on a regualr basis.

“I will take home a lot of skills that I can use in the future.”
