The 2016 Pizza Idol Competition

The cook off final of Pizza Idol 2016 took place at the Ring O’ Bells, Christleton on Monday 14th March with fresh and exciting ideas to get everyone’s taste buds tingling!

Three pupils from Christleton Primary School and three from Waverton Primary School came along to the Ring O’ Bells to turn their pizza ideas into reality. Together with the pizza chef Lee Hall, they created their ideas and experienced what it is like to cook in a professional kitchen.

Each pupil created a pizza that was unique and delicious so it proved extremely hard for owner Ian Wade and Head Chef Andy King to choose a winner. However, there had to be a winner and eventually it was decided that Beau McKeown from Waverton Primary School was the winner of Pizza Idol 2016.

Beau created a Prosciutto, Pesto, Artichoke, Brie & Olives on a Tomato Base pizza and will be featured on the Ring O’ Bells new spring/summer menu, which launches on Tuesday 12th April.

Owner Ian Wade said “Every year the quality of the entries gets better & 2016 proved that again.

Thanks to everyone involved, we can’t wait to get the pizzas on our new menu!”

Thanks must go to the team at the Ring O’ Bells for organising the event again, the pupils for their imaginative ideas and a special thanks to David Harker, Head Master of Christleton Primary & Amanda Poyner, admin officer of Waverton Primary for their support & involvement.
