The competition gave students the chance to work in a professional environment.
Jacob Dennett, who is studying professional cookery at Fareham College, said: '˜It's been a really great day. I've enjoyed the opportunity to take part in an event like this. It's certainly given me a taster of what working in a high pressure kitchen environment is like.'
Southampton-based wholesaler Harvest Fine Foods sponsored and organised the event.
Development chef, Phil Clark, said: '˜As a company, we want to encourage students to enjoy cooking and gain as much experience as they can before they go into the industry.'
