S1E18 - Winchester
Sir Terry Wogan and Mason McQueen are in Winchester, Hampshire, on their gastronomic voyage of discovery. They find a mixture of exotic and traditional British foods in this town as they tuck into the good old banger at a local pub and sushi at a Wasabi Farm. They meet an artist who has turned his hand to farming water buffalo and are given alms of bread and beer at the Hospital of St Cross. At a BBQ at the river, Mason astounds them all when he turns his hand to fly-fishing for the first time and catches a trout!

Sir Terry Wogan and Mason McQueen have reached Britain's second city where they take in the sights and sounds of the famous Bull Ring Market before feasting on the finest dim sum.

S1E20 - Marlow
Mason McQueen's black cab is not too far from the capital today when he takes Terry Wogan down the M40 to Marlow to search out what is on the menu in this historic town located on the River Thames in Buckinghamshire. The lads are intrigued to discover that the small town has many local food producers and restaurants. They are served up a dish by Michelin-starred chef Atul Kochhar, treated to a pub lunch by Tom Kerridge and, after Mason has a go at rowing on the river, it is time to taste the county's regional dish of bacon badger.
