Series 18: 27. The Finals: Main Course



It’s national finals week on Great British Menu, where the winners from the regional heats compete to earn a place on the menu of a spectacular banquet celebrating animation and illustration for Paddington’s 65th birthday.\n\nEach episode sees the eight rivals compete over a different course, from starter through to dessert, where they will be marked out of ten by an expert judging panel which, each episode, features a different well-known guest judge.\n\nThis time, it's actor and comedian Sir Lenny Henry. The chefs cook their main courses for him in a bid to secure a place on the menu at the banquet.
