About Rice Competition

Competition Rules:

The deadline to register is 9am, Thursday 1st October. Space is limited - registration will close early if the competition is oversubscribed.

Each dish will be presented anonymously and sampled by the judging panel. Competitors only need to bring a small batch of rice (3 small servings) and will receive £15 on the day as a contribution to their time and resources. All rice dishes should be vegetarian and be careful not to over spice!

There will be two categories:

  • Jollof Rice - an African dish made with rice simmered in tomato and pepper sauce
  • Rice and Peas - a Caribbean dish made from rice combined with beans and coconut milk

Entries should be dropped off between 12:30pm-1pm on Saturday 10th October.
