Friday 4th April 2025, Hilton, London Wembley
Come and join us to celebrate with the finalists of Zest Quest Asia 2025, who earlier in the day will have competed in a fast-paced cook-off to determine who will be crowned this year’s champions. As well as the top prize there are many other individual categories that the six college finalists will have been fighting it out to win, and all awards and prizes will be announced at the Gala Dinner.
Starting with a drinks reception and canapes prepared by current Zest Quest Asia champions The Sheffield College, then moving onto a delicious three course dinner (and wine) that showcases Asian cuisine, the evening promises to be a great way to celebrate the talent from the next generation of young chefs and to enjoy the breadth of variety that Asian cuisine offers.

Tickets have gone on sale for the 8th Zest Quest Asia Gala Dinner and Awards Night to be held on Friday, 8th April 2022 at the Hilton London Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 (Hilton T5). Food and drink broadcaster Nigel Barden will emcee the evening.
The event will cap a 5-month search for the new Zest Quest Asia champions, and represents the return of the original ‘live’ culinary competition. Earlier in the day, teams from semi-finalist colleges would have competed in a cook-off, helping to fulfil the aims of a competition — founded by restaurateurs Cyrus and Pervin Todiwala with the involvement of the Master Chefs of Great Britain – designed to recognise student chefs’ skills and knowledge of Asian cookery.
Prices are £90pp and £850 for a table of 10.
A limited number of rooms at the Hilton London Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 have been allocated at special rates for Zest Quest Asia guests. Please click on the link below:
