Eight regional champions cook their main courses again in a bid to secure a place at a banquet celebrating the British film industry.

The multi-award-winning director of such films as The Queen, Philomena, My Beautiful Laundrette and Dangerous Liaisons, Sir Stephen Frears, joins Tom Kerridge, Lorna McNee and Phil Wang on the judging panel. They're tasked with picking a winner from eight main courses.

And in a twist, a mystery wildcard chef is invited into the kitchen to enter the fray. Can they steal the winning crown from the other chefs?

It's the banquet finale, where the overall winner of this 20th anniversary competition will be decided at a red-carpet event at St George's Hall, Liverpool.

The judges, Tom Kerridge, Lorna McNee and Phil Wang, have chosen the chefs from different regions of the country to create a special banquet. It's being served to celebrate the great and the good of the British film industry, including BAFTA and Oscar winners, actors, directors, costume designers, casting directors and more.

The chefs need to work together to wow the guests with their depth of flavour and flawless presentation. Who will triumph and become 2026's champion of champions?
