London’s School of Wok has scooped two awards at this year’s British Cookery School Awards.

The school, based in London’s Covent Garden, won in the Best Specialist Cookery School and the school’s founder and head chef, Jeremy Pang, 30, won in the Young Rising Star award.

Pang said: “We’ve spent the past few years working hard, listening to our guests’ feedback and dreaming big. It’s great to see our hard work recognised, but the journey is far from over.”

Specialising in Oriental and Asian cuisine, the school runs classes ranging from Dim Sum to Authentic Chinese, Thai to Korean, as well as tasting tours of Chinatown, and a variety of full day classes.

The School of Wok has recently launched the Oriental Culinary Institute (OCI), the school’s new professional accredited classes which train professional chefs in Oriental and Asian cuisine.
