The Finals: Starters

The eight regional champions cook their vegan starter courses in a bid to secure the first place on the menu at the banquet. Comedian and actor Kulvinder Ghir is the guest judge.

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.

Each episode sees the eight rivals compete over a different course, from starter through to dessert, where they are marked out of ten by an expert judging panel which, each episode, features a different well-known guest judge.

This time, it's award-winning comedian and actor Kulvinder Ghir, a voice in such animations as Bob the Builder, Thomas and Friends, and Postman Pat. The chefs cook their vegan starter courses for him in a bid to secure the first place on the menu at the banquet.
