Scottish Culinary Championships 2025

The Scottish Culinary Championships at ScotHot 2025 were an outstanding success!

We had a huge number of entrants competing across a wide variety of classes in the Live Theatre, the Skills Arena and in the Culinary Arts Display. The level of skill and competition was higher than ever and we were delighted to award several gold medals as well as many silver, bronze & merits.

The Scottish Culinary Championships offer a dynamic range of competitions designed to inspire and challenge chefs at every stage of their career. With over 250 chefs competing in senior, junior and open competitions both the Live Theatre and Skills Arena were buzzing from start to finish on both days. The Culinary Arts display was also brimming with entries in competitions such as food photography, decorated cupcakes, chocolate showpiece and floral sugar craft.

The highlights of the Championships have to be the Scottish Chef of the Year and Scottish Young Chef of the Year. This year saw a high level of competition with some standout dishes from all chefs. It was however David Millar who took home the Scottish Chef of the Year 2025 award and Oliver Redgwell-Welch who triumphed in the Scottish Young Chef of the Year 2025. Congratulations to these 2 chefs and indeed all the entrants for their hard work.
