The two highest-scoring chefs from central England must go head-to-head and cook their six-course menus again. Will they take on board their veteran’s advice as they serve up their dishes to the new panel of judges?

They need to impress Michelin-starred chef Marcus Wareing, chef and restaurateur Nisha Katona, and comedian and food podcaster Ed Gamble. There’s also the guest judge, award-winning actress Duaa Karim, whose voice appears on children’s animations Everywhere Dragon and Circle Square. How will she judge dishes inspired by British animation and illustration and Paddington’s 65th birthday?

Only one of the chefs will triumph and go through to represent central England at the national finals.
