Kicking things off in Belfast is traditional Irish restaurant Holohan's Pantry, where mother and daughter Jane and Emir cook up a menu of 'posh-ed up' Celtic favourites. The second hosts, Artur and Jarron, hope that their fresh approach is more fiesta than flop at their Spanish restaurant, 2 Taps, while for the final night, head chef Stacy and front of house manager Perri turn up the heat at Acapulco Mexican Restaurant.

The first hosts in the North East, brothers Zak and Shuhel, are confident that their modern twist on traditional Indian cooking will impress their fellow professionals, at Babul's in Darlington. Their plant-based dessert is a game-changer for two vegan rivals, but their starter leaves their other guests - fellow Indian restaurateurs - feeling cold. Next up, will Alice and Alex's pizza fingers and meat-free burgers impress their rivals' picky palettes, at their vegan restaurant, V-Edge, in Middlesbrough? The night ends on a high as the rival restaurateurs reveal their previous professions and share unusual impressions alongside the dessert. Finally, Shay and Syed host at their traditional family-run Indian restaurant, Sheesh Mahal, in Hartlepool. After two strong nights, will their lamb alternative wow their vegan guests?
