Amateur chefs have the chance to win a six-month residency in one of the capital’s most vibrant foodie markets.
Hondo Enterprises, owner of the Brixton Village and Market Row arcade, is holding a competition “to find the next big talent in food”.
It has one category for London home cooks and another for more experienced chefs from Lambeth who already run a small commercial venture such as a supper club or street food stall.
Shortlisted finalists will pitch to a panel of judges including James Cochran of Islington’s 1251, Jackson Boxer of St Leonards in Shoreditch, and Claire Ptak, who baked the cake for the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The two winners will be given a space in Brixton Village from this summer, supported by a team of mentors, including food critic Charles Nyereyegona and chef
Shakya Manage, founder of Sri Lankan Supper Club.
Hondo’s Alistair Maddox said Brixton Village’s aim was “to celebrate food and community and support entrepreneurship”.
