Great British Menu: Season 18, Episode 25

18 - 25: The Finals: Starters

It's national finals week on Great British Menu, where the winners from the regional heats compete to earn a place on the menu of a spectacular banquet celebrating animation and illustration for Paddington's 65th birthday.

Each episode sees the eight rivals compete over a different course, from starter through to dessert, where they are marked out of ten by an expert judging panel which, each episode, features a different well-known guest judge.

This time, it's award-winning comedian and actor Kulvinder Ghir, a voice in such animations as Bob the Builder, Thomas and Friends, and Postman Pat. The chefs cook their vegan starter courses for him in a bid to secure the first place on the menu at the banquet.
