Chefs from award winning hospitality operator Buzzworks have taken part in an elite patisserie masterclass through its partnership with The Master Chefs of Great Britain (MCGB), marking the first in a series of hands-on training experiences designed to further elevate skills across its kitchens.

The session, held at Prestonfield House in Edinburgh, saw chefs from across the Buzzworks portfolio come together to develop advanced patisserie techniques, refine presentation skills and gain insight into the precision and creativity required at the highest level of pastry.

The masterclass forms part of Buzzworks’ corporate sponsorship of MCGB, announced in December, which provides its culinary teams with access to a respected programme of training and development, led by some of the UK’s most accomplished chefs.

David Bell, Director of Food at Buzzworks, said: “We’re passionate about creating an environment in Buzzworks where chefs don’t just work – they grow. Taking our team to the Master Chefs patisserie masterclass at Prestonfield House was about investing in their future, exposing them to excellence, and showing what’s possible.

“Those moments spark creativity and innovation, build confidence and raise ambition. That’s how you develop great chefs, and ultimately, how you build great restaurants.”

The training is designed not only to support individual development, but to enhance the quality, consistency and creativity of dishes served across Buzzworks’ venues, ensuring guests continue to enjoy a high standard of food and dining experience.

Last month, members of the Buzzworks team also attended the MCGB Annual Lunch at Schloss Roxburghe, hosted by Chef Dan Ashmore, where they prepared canapés for the prestigious event – further demonstrating the calibre and progression of the group’s culinary talent.

The MCGB partnership reflects Buzzworks’ ongoing commitment to investing in its people and raising standards across its kitchens, while supporting the wider development of the hospitality industry.

Buzzworks was recently recognised in the ‘Best Companies to Work For’ list for a tenth year, achieving 29th place in the ‘Best Large Company to Work For in the UK’ and its highest ranking to date.
