Series 17

BBC Two - Great British Menu, Series 17, North West Main and Dessert

Chefs from north west England compete over mains and desserts. One must go home.

The remaining chefs compete over dishes inspired by British broadcasting. When all the chefs choose comedic inspirations, who will have the last laugh and who must go home?

The three chefs are halfway through their heat, and the pressure is mounting. Once again, they each serve a unique take on the brief celebrating 100 years of British broadcasting. For mains, one chef is taking inspiration from the Royal Variety Show, serving a regal Chinese takeaway to share around the telly. Another is celebrating Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway with a posh version of a northern parmo made with pigeon, and there is a homage to national treasure Sir Terry Wogan in a breakfast-inspired sausage and crumpet classic. Whose dish will this week's veteran judge find the most successful?

Only two will proceed to cook for the judges and have a chance to represent north west England at the regional finals.
