Alice Buckley | Young Chef Young Waiter Competition
The competition was an exceptional experience to learn more and help enhance my skill set. I was tasked with opening a bottle of prosecco, cheese service and answering scenario-based questions. I was extremely lucky to get to work alongside Callum Falls during this experience. I am now more eager to put myself forward for more competitions in the future. If you don’t have a horse in the race, you can’t win!in Connect with Alice

Grace O'Toole | EM Cup 2023
At Shannon College of Hotel Management, students are offered the opportunity to compete in some of the country’s most well-established hospitality competitions. The college has longstanding ties with food and beverage, culinary and business orientated events. While also having a solid track record. Such events include the European Mise en Place Competition. Taking place annually in Maastricht, the competition offers hospitality students a forum to develop their skills and push themselves outside their comfort zones.
