Creative culinary competition. It is finals week on Great British Menu as the eight regional champions battle for a chance to cook at a glorious banquet marking the centenary of the Women's Institute, at London's historic Draper's Hall. Each day, the chefs must cook one of their four courses again to impress not only the judges Matthew Fort, Oliver Peyton and Prue Leith, but also guest judges who know the exacting standards of the WI. The best dishes will be selected for the judges' shortlist, putting them in contention for a place on the banquet menu. But this year, instead of the three top scoring dishes being guaranteed a place on the shortlist, only those that are deemed perfect will make the grade. The final menu will be chosen by the judges from the dishes that have been shortlisted, so to be in with a chance of cooking at the banquet, the chefs must have secured a place on the shortlist at least once. Finals week kicks off with the starter course.
