purpose of great british menu this year
Quote:
Fans of Great British Menu will know that every series culminates in a rather grand banquet usually celebrating a special anniversary or a particular group of people. This year's banquet is all about saying thank you to the country's amazing key workers, who this year have dedicated their lives to the fight against COVID-19.

Host of the show
Quote:
Perhaps the biggest change on this series of Great British Christmas Menu is that ex-judge Andi Oliver will now be presenting the show instead. She will be compering the scoring and chatting to the chefs as they cook away, but importantly will also have the deciding vote in the case of any ties. It has also been announced that Oliver will also be hosting next year's regular series of Great British Menu.
Discussing her new role as host of the show, Oliver said: "I am so completely thrilled and honoured to have been asked to expand my role at Great British Menu! It’s an amazing opportunity to understand the journey that the chefs go through and to watch the evolution of the dishes before they come to judges chamber is a mind blowing revelation. It’s such an extraordinary opportunity to work so closely with the top culinary talent in the country - it’s a privilege I am not taking for granted."
