The two highest-scoring chefs from London and south east England must go head-to-head and cook their six-course menus again.

They need to impress a panel of exacting judges: Michelin-starred chef Tom Kerridge, former Great British Menu Champion of Champions Lorna McNee, and comedian and food podcaster Ed Gamble. The guest judge is archdeacon and women's justice campaigner Mina Smallman. How will she judge dishes celebrating great Britons of the past?

Only one of the chefs will triumph and go through to represent London and south east England at the national finals.

The eight finalists compete to win the fish course at a banquet celebrating great Britons of the past and Great British Menu's 20th year. Comedian Russell Kane is the guest judge.
