London and South East: Judging

Guest judge Dapo Adeola helps decide the winner from the two remaining London and south east chefs. There are dishes celebrating The Gruffalo and Paddington.

Today the two highest scoring chefs from London and the south east must go head-to-head and cook their six-course menus again. Will they take on board their veteran’s advice as they serve their stunning dishes to the Great British Menu panel of judges and celebrated British-Nigerian illustrator and Londoner Dapo Adeola?

The chefs need to impress our panel of exacting judges – Chef Tom Kerridge, with a total of three Michelin stars, chef and restaurateur Nisha Katona and comedian and host of a popular food podcast Ed Gamble. Today’s guest judge is Illustrator of the Year at the British Book Awards Dapo Adeola, who has illustrated 12 books and authored two, including an acclaimed anthology of stories called Joyful Joyful. How will he judge dishes celebrating animation and illustration?

Only one of the chefs will triumph and go through to represent London and the south east at the national finals.
