Finals Week - Fish
Creative culinary competition. The chefs who did not make it onto the shortlist with their starters are hoping for perfection in the fish course.
It's finals week on Great British Menu as the eight regional champions battle for a chance to cook at a glorious banquet marking the centenary of the Women's Institute, at London's historic Draper's Hall.
Each day, the chefs must cook one of their four courses again to impress not only the judges Matthew Fort, Oliver Peyton and Prue Leith, but also guest judges who know the exacting standards of the WI, as well as their fellow chefs who will also be marking the dishes.
The best dishes will be selected for the judges' shortlist, putting them in contention for a place on the banquet menu. But this year, instead of the three top-scoring dishes being guaranteed a place on the shortlist, only those that are deemed perfect will make the grade. So each day there may only be two dishes that make the judges shortlist, or perhaps only one.
The final menu will be chosen by the judges from the dishes that have been shortlisted, so to be in with a chance of cooking at the banquet, the chefs must have secured a place on the judge's shortlist at least once.
It's the battle for the fish course, and those chefs who didn't make it onto the shortlist with their starters are hoping to do better in this round. The judges are joined by a WI president - Kristy Bowen - who knows the impeccable standards the Institute will expect. Which chefs will be in with a chance of cooking their fish course at the banquet?
