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

Joining the show as guest judge is John Williams MBE, the executive head chef at The Ritz.

Creative culinary competition. The chefs cook for Matthew Fort, Prue Leith and Oliver Peyton and guest judge John Williams MBE, executive head chef at The Ritz.

Great British Menu is back and the nation's top chefs are competing for the ultimate prize - the chance to cook at a banquet held at the Palace of Westminster, in celebration of everyday great Britons honoured by the Queen. In the year of the Queen's 90th birthday, the chefs have been challenged to showcase contemporary cuisine and demonstrate the transformation in British food during her historic reign. The 24 competing chefs have travelled the country meeting great Britons who have been recognised for their tireless and selfless work for charities, for their local communities or their country.

Today, the two chefs are cooking for judges Matthew Fort, Prue Leith and Oliver Peyton for the very first time. Joining them as guest judge is John Williams MBE, the executive head chef at The Ritz, the only hotel to hold a royal warrant for banqueting. For one of the chefs, the chance to cook for John is a lifetime's ambition - he was one of his first culinary idols.

It is a tough contest - both chefs excel with different courses and the judges must decide who should be north east champion.
