Great British Menu

Four chefs compete for London and south east England with blockbuster canapes, starters and fish dishes celebrating the British film industry.

The dishes are judged by this week's veteran judge, Michelin-starred chef and former banquet fish course winner Aktar Islam, and include a Paddington-inspired take on savoury marmalade and a stuffed poached brill with a Vesper martini broth in a nod to Casino Royale. Who will impress, and who will be sent home?

The three talented chefs from London and south east England are halfway through their heat, and the pressure is mounting. Once again, they each serve a unique take on the brief celebrating the British film industry and films with links to their region.

The dishes are judged by veteran judge Aktar Islam. They include a 28-day dry-aged duck inspired by 28 Days Later, and a peanut and salted caramel parfait that serves as a tribute to the Baftas. But who will be leaving the competition?

The two highest-scoring chefs from London and south east England must go head-to-head and cook their six-course menus again.

They need to impress a panel of exacting judges: Michelin-starred chef Tom Kerridge, former Great British Menu Champion of Champions Lorna McNee, and comedian and all-round food enthusiast Phil Wang. The guest judge is Simon Callow, the much-loved actor who has starred in such box office hits as Shakespeare in Love, A Room with a View and Four Weddings and a Funeral. How will he judge dishes celebrating the British film industry?

Only one of the chefs will triumph and go through to represent London and south east England at the national finals.
