The Craft Guild of Chefs NCOTY and YNCOTY mentor day was able to be held this year at Tottenham Hotspur Football Stadium after the success of it being held here in 2019. The day was almost identical, that is to say, anti-cyclonic skies. One of the few nice days over the summer.
The mentor day consisted of simultaneous demonstrations by Paul Ainsworth (NCOTY) and Chantelle Nicholson (YNCOTY) at the grounds kitchens. There was a photographer on each demonstration capturing the finalists and chefs.
The portrait and group photography then took place at each end of the pitch; NCOTY finalists one end and YNCOTY at the other. This again happened simultaneously due to the tight schedule of the mentor day. Individual portraits of each of the finalists, then a group shot to include chef Paul Ainsworth (Chair of Judges) and David Mulcahy (Vice President of the Craft Guild of Chefs).
These portraits were then used for publicity for the run-up and post final, but also featured in the video that was screened at the Everyman in Broadgate in the City of London.
The final was spread over two days both held at Cord, Le Cordon Bleu, Fleet Street.
