Central Judging

Creative culinary competition. The region's two highest scoring chefs cook for judges Oliver Peyton, Prue Leith and Matthew Fort and guest judge Enam Ali MBE.

Great British Menu is back and the nation's top chefs are competing for the ultimate prize - the chance to cook at a banquet held at the Palace of Westminster, in celebration of everyday great Britons honoured by the Queen. In the year of the Queen's 90th birthday, the chefs have been challenged to showcase contemporary cuisine and demonstrate the transformation in British food during her historic reign. The 24 chefs competing have travelled the country meeting great Britons who have been recognised for their tireless and selfless work for charities, for their local communities or their country.

Today is the head to head. The central region's two highest scoring chefs are cooking for judges Oliver Peyton, Prue Leith and Matthew Fort for the very first time. Joining them in the chamber is guest judge Enam Ali MBE, a food entrepreneur who set up the British Curry Awards.

The contest couldn't be closer as each chef impresses with stand-out dishes.
