Participants were challenged to prepare in two hours, a three-course healthy meal comprising starter, main course and dessert for two people costing less than £20.

Five students battled it out in the kitchen, before their dishes were sampled by judges from Wisbech Rotary Club.

The winner was Olivia Sefton, who served up prawn cocktail with a Thousand Island dressing for starters, spaghetti bolognaise for her main course and chocolate cake with a peanut butter surprise for dessert.

Olivia received a £25 voucher, while runner-up Benas Juskevicius, in Year 10, received a £15 voucher.

Olivia will now compete in the next round of the competition at West Suffolk College on February 1st.
