Master Apprentices for Peppers Anchorage
The Merretts Restaurant at Peppers Anchorage, a Port Stephens favourite, is also a hot bed of up and coming cooking talent.
Two young apprentices from the acclaimed restaurant have been judged winners at recent Hospitality Training Network apprentice competitions, further enhancing its flavour as one of NSW’s finest dining establishments.
Billy Eitz & Reed Simpson
Third year apprentice Billy Eitz has won two major culinary awards in the last three months – the HTN butcher and chef competition’s Best Individual Chef award and Best Team award, which saw him team up with an apprentice butcher to combine talents. The HTN award win followed another victory at the Hunter Regional HTN Culinary Competition.
Fellow third year apprentice Reed Simpson won first place at the grand final of the 2011 HTN Apprentice Chef Culinary Competition held in Sydney on 5 October. This outstanding achievement means he is considered to be the top HTN third year apprentice in NSW, ACT and VIC.
