Banquet Special

It’s the final of the series. The chefs cook a banquet at Brighton Royal Pavilion for illustration and animation stars including Cressida Cowell and Sir Lenny Henry.

It’s the final banquet, where the overall winner of Great British Menu 2023 is decided.

Now, the ultimate winner will be voted for by the great and the good from the world of animation and illustration at the Royal Pavilion in Brighton.

The judges, chef Tom Kerridge, restaurateur Nisha Katona and food podcaster and comedian Ed Gamble, have chosen four chefs, each from a different region of the country, to create the banquet. They must cook for an illustrious group of guests, including Cressida Cowell, Sir Lenny Henry, Axel Schleffer, Dapo Adeola, Terry Deary, Peter Lord, Suzie Templeton and many more.
