Northern Ireland: Judging

The guest judge, author and artist Oliver Jeffers, helps decide the winner for Northern Ireland. There are dishes celebrating both animation and illustration.

The two highest-scoring chefs from Northern Ireland 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 guest judge Oliver Jeffers, an award-winning author and artist with an impressive 19 books under his belt. How will he 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 Northern Ireland at the national finals.
