Great British Menu is back and 24 of the nation's top chefs are competing to create the most contemporary cuisine in honour of the Queen's everyday great Britons. The prize is to cook at the ultimate banquet held at the Palace of Westminster in the year the nation celebrated the Queen's 90th birthday. This year's challenge is to produce dishes that are a lasting legacy to the new Elizabethan age. They must showcase the transformation in British cuisine during the Queen's historic 64-year reign.

The competition really takes off today as three of London and the south east region's most exciting chefs fight to get to the top of the leader board. It is the fish course and chef Russell Bateman is celebrating the diversity of his beloved home town of London by combining lobster with jerk spices for an ambitious fish course with seven key elements. Ronnie Murray is taking a risk with an ingredient that is close to the veteran judge's heart, and is planning to serve it at three different temperatures - warm, deep fried and frozen. And two Michelin-starred Mark Froydenlund is planning a novel way to present his dish - as though it is half eaten!
