Series 18: 29. Banquet Special



It’s the final banquet, where the overall winner of Great British Menu 2023 is decided.\n\nOver nine weeks, 32 of the best chefs from across the UK have been competing with menus celebrating the theme of animation and illustration – from cartoons to computers to comic book heroes – in honour of Paddington’s 65th birthday. Now, the ultimate winner will be voted for by the great and the good from the world of animation and illustration at the Royal Pavilion in Brighton.\n\nThe judges, chef Tom Kerridge, restaurateur Nisha Katona and food podcaster and comedian Ed Gamble, have chosen four chefs, each from a different region of the country, to create the banquet. They must cook for an illustrious group of guests, including Cressida Cowell, Sir Lenny Henry, Axel Schleffer, Dapo Adeola, Terry Deary, Peter Lord, Suzie Templeton and many more.\n\nWhich chef will be able to impress with every dish and win the renowned title of champion of champions?
