Boil the egg and fire up the fryer – entries are now open for this year’s Scotch Egg Challenge.
Founder, Oísin Rogers (previously of The Ship), will this year take the coveted competition to his pub and restaurant; The Canonbury Tavern in Islington. On Tuesday 20th October, shortlisted contestants will be invited to take to the kitchen as they battle to hatch up their best eggs in a most egg-traordinary contest, hosted by Joe Warwick aka Joe Warwegg.
If you’re a restaurant, pub, café or food shop and you serve up a cracking Scotch Egg then get entering for your chance to be crowned the nation’s best. Last year, The Cornwall Project’s Michael Harrison was victorious with his hog pudding and Cornish Scotch Egg (pictured).
Now in its fifth year, all shortlisted entries will be put to the test and scrambled in what promises to be the most hotly contested egg-off yet. The final judgement will be laid in the clutch of a panel of food eggsperts who will cast their votes following a blind tasting.
The deadline for applications is 10th September, so if you think you have an egg-cellent entry email canonbury@youngs.co.uk for an application form.
For further information, contact Jay Poachera or Eggvana Yolko on 020 7704 2887. Email Canonbury@youngs.co.uk with the subject ‘Scotch Egg Challenge’
