Great British Menu

Unlike other cooking shows that feel the need to add challenges, twists and surprises for drama, this show showcases a chefs talent and creativity!

These chefs must present an entire menu simply to compete for the honor of presenting a course at a themed banquet at the end of the competition.

Great show but about time Mathew retired. His inane comments and so called humour is just boring. Time to get fresh blood.

I find your having added a presenter is quite irritating. She doesn't add anything to the series. She is not funny or even entertaining.

Used to watch a lot at the beginning, even if I found the judges pompous and arrogant most of time. The food could be pretentious but still you knew what to expect.

As years go on, they pick these themed banquets and the chefs seem to have some story that doesn't reflect their cooking. As a previous reviewer said re the childrens literature theme, some of it was just too off-topic.

Don't know why we need a 'host' and a mentor - the mentors have usually been there themselves or have enough presence to get their ideas across to the contestants and the judges. Too much distraction and chefs being late to the pass.

Other than Prue, the final judges are generally rubbish. The camerawork, preliminary judging, cooking, cooking quality, gamesmanship, intimacy of the kitchen are all above average.

I am just shocked by the companions to Prue's role.. they should appreciate the work, the use of the ingredients and the taste/ presentation. They just seemed more interested in being noticed than being fair. Having seen judging on master chef professional - I am just shocked.

But the show is worth watching except for the final judging.

Oh I now have 61 characters left so I have to keep on typing for a little bit.
