Kerridge vs Aikens: Three-Soup Starter Showdown | Great British Menu | S6 E36

Three Michelin-starred heavyweights. One brief: sharing food that brings people together. The London and South East heat of Great British Menu erupts as Tom Kerridge, Tom Aikens and Phil Thompson face Jason Atherton in the ultimate starter clash. From a bold Malaysian-Vietnamese inspired spring lamb broth sealed under puff pastry, to a crystal-clear quail consomme with dumplings, foie gras and truffles, and a silky pea velouté with rabbit canapés, each chef pushes technique and storytelling. But which dish truly fits a street party People’s Banquet? Watch nerves sharpen as frozen peas are questioned, a risky raw-lamb move raises eyebrows, and plating for a crowd becomes its own battleground. Atherton’s scrutiny is intense, the kitchen chatter sharper, and the surprises arrive right at tasting. If you love elite cooking, creative risk, and the moment a judge’s fork decides everything, this is your episode. Hit play to see who nails the brief, who overreaches, and the dish that gets everyone talking. #GreatBritishMenu #TomKerridge #TomAikens #JasonAtherton #PhilThompson #PeoplesBanquet #CookingCompetition
