Central England: Judging

The two highest scoring chefs from central England must go head-to-head and cook their six-course menus again.

They need to impress a panel of exacting judges: Michelin-starred chef Tom Kerridge, chef and top restaurateur Nisha Katona, and comedian and food podcaster Ed Gamble. The guest judge is Paralympic gold medal sprinter Jonnie Peacock. How will she judge dishes celebrating the Olympic and Paralympic games?

Only one of the chefs will triumph and go through to represent central England at the national finals.
