COSTA NOVA partners with Goodfellows to support rising talent in British fine dining

COSTA NOVA was an official partner of the 2025 Plated Competition, a UK-based initiative launched by tableware distributor Goodfellows to celebrate young chefs shaping the future of British fine dining. As part of the partnership, COSTA NOVA supplied a selection of its stoneware collections for the six finalists to use during the live cook-off, held at the TrueFoods Development Kitchen and streamed across multiple digital platforms.

The collaboration was also central to the competition’s prize: the winner, Sean-Paul Phippard (Restaurant Andrew Fairlie at Gleneagles), will visit the COSTA NOVA factory in Portugal, receive a bespoke trophy plate designed by the brand, and enjoy a Michelin-starred dining experience in Portugal. The initiative gave COSTA NOVA significant exposure across the UK hospitality industry and reinforced the brand’s positioning as a leading tableware manufacturer with strong ties to the international culinary scene.
