Chef Adam Handling declared champion on cooking show

The owner of the Adam Handling Restaurant Group which includes the Ugly Butterfly in St. Ives, Cornwall and The Luch & The Tyne in Windsor successfully made his way through to the banquet in this year's highly popular Great British Menu on BBC Two. Following a vote from the banquet guests - members of the British animation and illustration industries - Adam's trifle-inspired 'Food Fight' dessert was declared the best dish at the dinner, resulting in him becoming the Great British Menu Champion of Champions 2023. The dessert was inspired by Dundee publishers, DC Thomson, to mark the 80th anniversary of the Beano and Dandy. With trifle being his favourite dessert, it was only natural for Adam to recreate the chaos with his throwable custard, smashable cake and wobbly jelly. Adam's dishes throughout the 18th series of the programme are based on both classic and contemporary works, with deep-rooted links to his native Scotland. Throughout his menu, Adam created dishes which demonstrate his commitment to sustainability and reducing food waste.

Award wins for the team at Ugly Butterfly in St. Ives, Cornwall

Ugly Butterfly's sous chef, Connor Blades, won UK Young Chef of the Year 2021 at the prestigious Young Chef Young Waiter UK 2021 competition. Junior sous chef Ali Halbert also performed excellently in the competition final, achieving second place, demonstrating exceptional talent in the kitchen at Ugly Butterfly in St. Ives, Cornwall.

The competition is renowned for recognising some of the best talents UK hospitality has to offer and was judged by, among others, Tom Kerridge and Ugly Butterfly's Adam Handling as head chef judge and Simon King as head waiter judge.

Winner Connor's inspiration comes from his surroundings in Cornwall and he uses innovative techniques to create delicious dishes that take advantage of the huge variety of fresh and seasonal local ingredients.

Adam Handling tells us, "Judging chef of the year has been super exciting. I didn't have voting rights in the competition as two of my team were in the final ten, so it makes it even more special that my fellow judges not only picked Connor as the winner but Ali in second. Connor really cares about the industry, cooks amazing dishes and works beautifully in a team. I always think of the relationship between chefs and waiters as being quite romantic, and the partnership he created with the waiter team was inspiring. Connor Blades is the future of hospitality, and I know for a fact that he's the future of my restaurants."
