This year's Great British Menu competition has been the most fiercely fought yet, with more top chefs from across the country than ever, all battling it out in the kitchen to cook at the fabulous People's Banquet. The winners have been announced and this special documentary follows the successful chefs in the run up to the banquet, as they make the painstaking preparations, for what is one of the most important meals they will ever cook. The banquet will be hosted by Big Lunch Ambassador Barbara Windsor, and attended by 100 guests of honour, people who bring people together through food, and put their heart and soul into feeding their local communities. The pressure on the chefs to deliver is immense and even the Great British Menu judges roll up their sleeves to ensure that the banquet goes according to plan.
