Don't miss out on the fabulous dinner inspired by French Chef Pascal Barbot, TONIGHT, Thursday, November 19. Limited seating is still available. Born in 1972 and awarded with three Michelin stars, Pascal Barbot has been one of the pioneers of a new generation of French chefs anxious to distinguish themselves from the old culinary school. Despite the Best Cook of France accolade conferred to him in 2005 and the constant appearance of his Parisian restaurant, l'Astrance, in the... World's 50 Best Restaurants list, he continues to define himself modestly as a petit cuisinier français. His is a cuisine that focuses on the essence of flavour: he favours the use of extra virgin olive oil, very little butter or salt and no cream. November 19 Dinner Menu: Crab | Avocado Ravioli | Sweet Almond Oil Pork | Cockle | Treviso Lamb | Black Curry | Eggplant Vacherin | Citrus Student Chef: Emma Lidkea Chef Instructor: Randi Rudner Book in now: https://www.exploretock.com/stratfordchefsschool/ #stratfordchefsschool #stratfordchefalumni #nextgenchefs #internationalinspirations #lovestratford #stratfordon #cookingschool #culinary #culinaryschool #chefschool #cuisine #apprenticeship #skilledtrades #handsonlearning #knifeskills #lifeskills #eat #secondcareer #entrepreneurship #notforprofit #cookingclass #foodlovers #farmtotable StratfordON Perth County Tourism As per current Public Health regulations we have built in a number of health and safety measures at the School and for public Dinners.

In 2007 Nieves became the group’s Executive Chef ahead of the launch of the first Barrafina restaurant on London’s Frith Street.

Elegant, comfortable, and delicious aptly describe the fabulous Short Table Dinner event hosted by Stratford Chefs School at the stunning The Bruce Hotel on Sunday September 20th. Adapted from our annual Long Table Dinner as a "friend-raiser" for these times, guests dined comfortably - and at an appropriate distance - in the spacious and beautiful Dining Room of The Bruce Hotel, given the cool evening temperatures outdoors. "Everyone at our short table thoroughly enjoyed las...t night’s dinner. We felt that the service, the food and the environment were just right. Thanks for getting us settled into a new stage of indoor dining. We would happily do it again." - Guest feedback Thank you to all who were able to attend, we truly appreciate your support, and you all looked wonderful en blanc!
