The team, which was led by Gareth Curran, head chef at Mossley Mill in Newtonabbey, took on competitors from Sodexo and Aramark to take first prize.
The winning menu consisted of egg yolk ravioli, smoked cod with parmesan crisp followed by Irish lamb cutlet with crispy lamb and braised lamb pudding and a dessert of baked chocolate cake with vanilla bean ice cream, sea salt caramel and dark chocolate ganache.
Cathal Geoghegan, managing director of Mount Charles, said: “We’re lucky to have some fantastic talent working for us across a multitude of contracts in Ireland and GB and we’re proud to say that across each of our catering sites our dedication to producing the best quality food, using locally sourced produce never wavers.”
The independent judges were impressed with the high standard of teamwork and customer service from chefs Gareth Curran, Marcus Lemon and Linda Rowe and front of house team Janice Stewart and Christopher Telford.
