Great British Menu

Great British Menu will return to television screens at 8pm from 31 January on BBC Two for its 18th series.

Some of the country’s best female chefs are to prepare a dinner in aid of Hospitality Action in the same week as International Women’s Day.

Ritz London head chef Spencer Metzger, representing London and the south-east, is the second chef this week through to the Great British Menu banquet, having won the fish course.

The winners from the regional heats of the competition are competing this week to earn a place on the menu of a banquet celebrating 100 years of British broadcasting.
