What will happen on Great British Menu 2018?
In 2018 the NHS is celebrating 70 years and the series will cook “celebratory and heartfelt dishes in tribute to the heroic staff of the NHS."
The show is split between different regions with the first episode featuring a starter in the North-East.
Professional chefs compete to create a dish fit for a banquet to celebrate a different occasion.
24 professional chefs show off their culinary skills in the hopes of being chosen to cook one course for the four-course banquet at the end of the series.
One chef each week goes through to the final, where the judges taste the dishes again and award them marks out of ten.
The three dishes that have scored the highest for each course are then put to the public vote.
