Who are the judges on the Great British menu 2018?

The judges of the series are restaurateur Andi Oliver, 54, food critic Matthew Fort and Irish restaurateur Oliver Peyton.

Andi Oliver replaced Prue Leith as a judge on the series after she joined the revamped version of Great British Bake Off on Channel 4 in 2017.

Andi says: “I am so absolutely thrilled to be returning and when I heard that this year we would be celebrating the extraordinary people who work in our beloved NHS I jumped for joy!"

Both Matthew and Oliver were part of the original line-up when the show was first created back in 2006.

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."

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.
