Bank of Ireland UK cook up a storm for Enterprise Week 2016 to support Belfast’s homeless charity
Eight chefs from famous restaurants across Belfast came together to add some spice and a pinch of salt to Enterprise Week 2016 for the Bank of Ireland UK’s ultimate omelette challenge with all funds raised going towards the Welcome Centre, Belfast. The well-known local chefs each cooked an omelette using their creative flare and personal choice of ingredients while under the watchful eye of the award winning Michelin star chef, Michael Deane, owner of Deane’s Restaurant, the popular James McGinn, Europe Hotel General Manager and Ruth McClurg, University Road Commercial Branch Manager, Bank of Ireland UK. Time was of the essence as each chef cooked against the clock and had three minutes to perfect their masterpiece before being judged on cooking technique, taste and presentation. The cheering crowd’s funds raised were matched by Bank of Ireland UK for the Welcome Centre, a charity supporting the homeless in Belfast.
