The six remaining chefs are split into two teams to create a bespoke and opulent menu for a VIP client staying in the Langham's most expensive luxury suite, which costs £25,000 a night. The winning team are given the day off, while the losers face a challenge in which they each have to produce a luxury five-star breakfast tray in keeping with their restaurant concept.

The semi-final finds the four remaining chefs put through their paces in their toughest challenge yet. First, they must present an opulent feasting centrepiece designed to attract groups of diners who are keen to splash the cash on a special occasion. The pressure mounts in the kitchen as the chefs are next challenged to cater an exclusive banquet for 100 VIP guests, with each chef producing one course - starter, fish, meat and dessert - under the watchful eye of global restaurateur Mike Reid.
