Craft Guild of Chefs honours John Campbell and Prue Leith

John Campbell, executive chef at Berkshire's Vineyard at Stockcross, and veteran food campaigner and restaurateur Prue Leith were among the culinary high-flyers honoured at the Craft Guild of Chefs annual awards last week.

Campbell walked away with the organisation's Restaurant Chef of the Year accolade, while Leith's 40-plus years of tireless campaigning to raise the quality-bar in the restaurant and education sectors of the industry - coupled with her entrepreneurial astuteness as a restaurateur - earned her the guild's 2006 Special Award.
