The Finals: Banquet

This year’s Great British Menu comes to a climax with a star-studded banquet celebrating Britain’s success in pop music at Abbey Road Studios.

This year’s Great British Menu comes to an all singing, all dancing climax with a star-studded banquet celebrating Britain’s success in pop music at Abbey Road Studios.

Ahead of our chefs is the challenge of cooking in a kitchen they don’t know, as well as having to scale up their dishes to provide the highest calibre of dining for a full banquet room of diners. And, in a Great British Menu first, they have to rise to the challenge of adapting their dishes for vegetarian diners.

Their guests are celebrities and unsung heroes who have helped create British music’s unparalleled global reputation - artists such as Andrew, Ridgeley from Wham!, Martin Kemp of Spandau Ballet, Keisha Buchanan of the Sugababes, Peter Hook of Joy Division and New Order and Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield from the Stone Roses.

At the end of the banquet all the guests vote for their favourite dish, choosing this year’s Champion of Champions. Who will it be?
