<p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[file:GBMtitle.jpg|thumb|left]] '''Great British Menu''' is a [[British]] [[television]] [[cooking]] [[competition]] show that has been broadcast on [[BBC Two]] since 2006. The show features some of the best chefs from across the [[United Kingdom]] competing to create dishes for a prestigious banquet.<br />
<br />
== Format ==<br />
The competition is divided into several stages, starting with regional heats. Chefs from different regions of the UK compete against each other to create a menu that represents their area. The regions include [[Scotland]], [[Wales]], [[Northern Ireland]], and various parts of [[England]] such as the [[North East]], [[North West]], [[South West]], and [[London]].<br />
<br />
Each week, three chefs from a specific region compete in a series of challenges. They are judged by a veteran chef who has previously competed on the show. The chefs must prepare a starter, fish course, main course, and dessert. The dishes are scored, and the chef with the lowest score is eliminated mid-week. The remaining two chefs then cook their entire menu for a panel of judges.<br />
<br />
== Judges ==<br />
The judging panel typically consists of three food critics and industry experts. Over the years, the panel has included notable figures such as [[Prue Leith]], [[Matthew Fort]], and [[Oliver Peyton]]. The judges taste the dishes and score them based on presentation, taste, and how well they fit the theme of the banquet.<br />
<br />
== Banquet ==<br />
The climax of the series is the banquet, where the winning chefs from each region come together to cook their dishes. The banquet is usually held in a prestigious location and attended by notable guests, including celebrities, politicians, and other public figures. The theme of the banquet changes each year and has included events such as celebrating the [[Olympic Games]], honoring the [[National Health Service]], and commemorating [[World War I]].<br />
