Knorr Professional launches the 2021 Great Roast competition

Knorr Professional's Great Roast competition is back for its 10th year, recognising the chefs and their businesses serving the very best roasts to their customers.

The competition will award prizes for the best vegetarian or vegan roast and the best traditional meat roast.

The free competition is open to any business serving roast dinners to the public. The range of prizes include a £3,000 catering equipment voucher, PR support and a photoshoot for each of the two category winners.

Chefs should complete an entry form, add a link to their menu and an image of their best roast to be considered for one or both categories. A team of judges will shortlist the entries in October before independent mystery diners will visit to judge each shortlisted entry. Winners will be then announced in November, where the Best Meat Roast 2021 and Best Vegetarian or Vegan Roast 2021 will be crowned.

Kate Drew, senior marketing manager for Knorr Professional at Unilever Food Solutions, said: “As the ongoing focus on sustainable living sees an ever-increasing number of consumers enjoy a plant-based diet, whether as part of a flexitarian or vegetarian/vegan diet, we also want to recognise those businesses meeting these demands.

"That is why we are delighted to have two hotly contested categories in this year’s competition, one for meat dishes and the other for vegetarian or vegan dishes. So, if you think you serve the nation’s greatest roast dinner, why not enter today and have a chance to take the prestigious title of the Great British Roast 2021”.
