Great British Menu
Series 21: 25. The Finals: StartersIt’s finals’ week, where the winners from the heats compete to cook a course at a red-carpet banquet in Liverpool’s St George’s Hall to celebrate the British film industry.
The eight rivals from all corners of the UK compete over a different course, from starter through to dessert, where they will be marked out of ten by an expert judging panel, including a surprise guest judge - in this episode, film director Marli Siu.
It’s a nerve-wracking first day as the chefs settle into the kitchen and meet their rivals. Each wants to win a course at the banquet and get their name on the menu. Can they improve on their scores from the first rounds?
