The two highest scoring chefs from north west 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 Tokyo 2020 gold medal-winning wheelchair rugby champion Paralympian Stuart Robinson. How will he judge dishes celebrating the Olympic and Paralympic Games?
Only one of the chefs will triumph and go through to represent north west England at the national finals.
