The theme for 2024 was a meat base Pâté-croute - no truffle allowed, serving 14 people.
Part of the motivation for the contestants this year came from the wonderful prizes given to by sponsors:
- Pate-Croute training course in 2025 at TheTastelab by Classic Fine Foods London with guest Chef Romain PELLET–MOF Charcutier traiteur for the top 3
- A dinner for 2 at the Savoy Grill restaurant and a night at the Savoy Hotel for 2nd place
- A champagne afternoon tea for 2 at the Ritz London for the 3rd
- A bottle of premium Cognac Paradis engraved to winner's name - for the winner
- Magnums of premium wines supplied by M. Chapoutier for top 3
- G.H.Mumm Champagne Magnum for top 3
- Goodie bags for all
- Transportation and accommodation to Lyon for the winner
How to apply ?
APPLICATIONS ARE CLOSED FOR 2024
The application file must contain a presentation form, the full recipe including detailed step by step preparation and photographs of the recipe (we strongly recommend sending both a picture of the whole pâté as well as a close-up of a slice). Contestants must ensure that everything featured in their file remains entirely anonymous (plates, letter paper, moulds, etc.).
The UK selection will take place at the SAVOY Hotel, Strand, London WC2R0EZ, from 6pm - 9:30pm.
The winner will be qualified for The “GRAND FINALE” on December 2, 2024, in Lyon (France) and will battle against 14 other winners of other semi-finals (Asia, America, South America, Scandinavia, Polynesia and Europe) to win the title of World Champion! No changes in the recipe, design and decoration between the semi-finals and the Grand Final are allowed.
Enjoy the amazing creations and cheerful moments of the past 2023 finale in Lyon.
