North East Main

BBC Two - Great British Menu, Series 11, North East Main

It is the main course of the north east region and there has been a dramatic development.

Creative culinary competition. There has been a dramatic development ahead of the main course, and it is a tough day for the chefs as they react to the news.

24 of Britain's top chefs are competing in this year's Great British Menu for the chance to cook at a most prestigious banquet at the Palace of Westminster. In the year of the Queen's 90th birthday, the chefs are celebrating the everyday great Britons who have been honoured for their selfless work to charities, to their communities and to the country. The chefs have to showcase the transformation in British cuisine during the Queen's historic reign, creating dishes that could be a legacy to the new Elizabethan age.

It is the main course of the north east region and overnight there has been a dramatic development. It is a tough and emotional day for the chefs as they react to the news but they battle on in a bid to present a perfect dish with venison and wagyu-angus beef - the meat of the day.

The veteran judge is seeking perfection and gives one chef the jitters after hearing he is planning to make venison buns using caul fat which can go stringy if not cooked correctly. But the crucial thing for the chefs is that the meat is cooked correctly and there is bad news for one competitor.
