We’re beyond excited to give a huge shoutout to the incredible talent in our kitchens here at Crumplebury and Curradine Barns. After a thrilling battle at the Artemis Master Chef competition in January, we’re proud to announce that Tom Francis from Crumplebury took the crown alongside Matthew Thomson from Curradine Barns as the champions of 2025! These talented chefs emerged victorious, showcasing not only their incredible cooking skills but also their ability to work together under pressure.
The competition was a true celebration of creativity, skill, and teamwork. Chefs were given the opportunity to work with seasonal ingredients like wood pigeon, oysters, bream, and venison, pushing themselves to deliver bold and innovative dishes that wowed the judges. But the event was much more than just a culinary contest – it was about passion, adaptability, and the spirit of collaboration, and our chefs excelled on every level.
We are incredibly proud of Tom and Matthew. Their achievement showcases the dedication and attention to detail we put into every event we host at our exclusive use venues in Worcester. Whether it’s a small, intimate gathering or a grand celebration, our chefs are passionate about working closely with clients to create bespoke menus tailored to the unique needs of each event.
This victory is a testament to our team’s creativity, passion, and expertise. We look forward to bringing these exceptional dining experiences to all our future events. Here’s to making every occasion unforgettable!
