What’s cooking

Move over Good Housekeeping - there’s a new Christmas taste tester in town.

The Vacherin head office team undertook the arduous task of taste testing the high street’s finest Christmas offerings, so you don’t have to.

Our annual client Christmas party has built quite a reputation for being extravagant, imaginative, and undeniably unforgettable—and this year, we outdid ourselves, raising the bar on creating a magical and memorable experience for all our guests. 

At the beginning of November, Vacherin proudly hosted Crush the Rush, our most exciting and fast-paced barista competition to date.

To celebrate our awesome brand refresh, we created an attention-grabbing ‘fake’ out-of-home (OOH) advertising campaign that brought our new identity to life, and to London, in a way only Vacherin could.

Sous Chef Josh Bathurst and Executive Development Chef Ludvina Hatert successfully defended Vacherin’s 2023 title at the Association of Catering Excellence (ACE) Ready Steady Cook competition 2024.

We’ve all heard of a pub crawl, but how about a croissant crawl?

The Association of Catering Excellence (ACE) has announced Alice Barrett of Vacherin as the winner of the 2024 ACE Robyns Award at its annual summer party. 

In partnership with Chef Consultant Sabrina Gidda and Westminster Kingsway College, Vacherin has launched PLATE, a chef talent programme designed to inspire students and guide them into successful careers in foodservice.

We are thrilled to announce that our very own Head Chef, Ben Garnett-Sinclair, has been honoured with a prestigious Acorn Award!

As part of our ongoing commitment to nurturing our team’s culinary creativity, last week our Executive Development Chef, Stephen Humphries, led a 'Chef’s Assemble' at the newly opened Pearly Queen Shoreditch.

Operations Director Tom Rule recently took his team to visit the Ridgeview vineyard in Ditchling, Surrey, hosted by ‌Ellis’s Wine.

We were delighted to hold the inaugural Women in Hospitality Forum for 2024. It was the perfect opportunity to celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit of women in the industry.
