The Roux Scholarship announces its 18 regional finalists for the 2025 competition

The Roux Family are delighted to reveal the names of the 18 chefs who will take part in the regional finals for The Roux Scholarship 2025. This year, 14 of the 18 finalists are new to the competition and they hail from establishments as far afield as Scotland and Devon.

The 18 chefs, and two reserves, were selected from their written recipes that had to use two gurnard fish, mussels, dulse seaweed and parsnips. They were submitted anonymously to the judges, who took part in the Recipe Judging day at The Waterside Inn on 19th February 2025. The 18 finalists will compete in two regional finals which will be held simultaneously on Thursday 6th March 2025 at University College Birmingham and University of West London, Ealing.
