Great British Seafood Pub Chef of the Year Award, 2010

A Hunstanton pub chef was crowned Seafood Chef of the Year last night at the Great British Pub Food  Awards 2010 - the industry’s ‘Oscars’ ceremony,  held in London.

Philip Milner, executive chef at The Orange Tree in Thornham, near Hunstanton, took the top title ahead of competition from pubs across the country.  After an initial ‘paper’ judging, Philip competed in a nail-biting national ‘cook off’, where he had to prepare his dish within a fixed period of time, and create another from a mystery box of ingredients,in front of a panel of expert judges.

The judges were bowled over by Philip’s Fillet of Norfolk coast wild sea bass with accompaniments, saying, “Once again, the standard of entries to this competition has been extremely high, but this was an outstanding dish. Philip is clearly a very talented and creative chef.”
