Northern Ireland Starter and Fish

Four chefs compete for Northern Ireland with canapes, starters and fish dishes inspired by 100 years of British broadcasting. Who will be eliminated?

This week sees the heats for Northern Ireland. Returning to the programme are Gemma Austin, chef patron of her new Belfast establishment A Peculiar Tea, and Chris McClurg, chef de cuisine at Paul Ainsworth’s No 6 in Padstow. They are joined by Stephen Hope, chef patron of Dawsons Restaurant in Castledawson and former winner of the Gordon Ramsey scholarship, and Marty McAdam, chef patron of The Paget Lane in his home town of Enniskillen.

Presenter Andi Oliver welcomes them to the kitchen, where the theme for this year’s competition is a celebration of 100 years of British broadcasting. One of the four must leave the competition at the end of the episode, to be decided by this week’s veteran judge - a previous winner who remains a surprise to the chefs until the moment they walk into the kitchen to taste the first-course canapes.
