It’s been a privilege to have been ask by Douglas to judge on this very special competition over many years, will be sadly missed…
It’s with a great amount of sadness that we say farewell to Mr NECTA himself! After many years of mentoring, judging & organising Douglas has decided it’s time to pack up the knives & hang up the whites. Thank you Chef for all you have done for the industry.
@NectaChef A legend of the industry who gave so much of his own time and energy to create opportunities for others!

@VikkieMorton @sunderlandcol @NorthlandColl @ukseafoodcomp @_CityBistro @NectaChef Couldn't agree more @VikkieMorton and not forgetting overall student award at NECTA. The students have been amazing this week demonstrating not only excellent technical skills but also high levels of professionalism.
@SeahamHallHotel Very well deserved @ChefKgreenwood
What did we all think of the return of NECTA after an extended break?
We've had a fantastic few days judging The North East Culinary and Trade Association @NectaChef #NECTAAwards at the Grand Hotel Gosforth Park! 👨🍳🏆
What a fantastic experience! Today winners were crowned for North East Chef of the Year 🍴 at the @NectaChef Colleges Competition. Students from @NU_Foundation also came along to find out more about the industry and the exciting training opportunities available in our region.
Honoured to compère for the 2nd day with Chef Ian McAndrew, holder of 8 Michelin Star Awards for the NECTA awards at Gosforth Park. @NectaChef @masterchefsgb @thefullrangeltd @LakelandDairies @BidfoodUK @koppertcressUK @MichelinGuideUK
