Two Leeds chefs have battled to impress Michael O’Hare in BBC Two’s Great British Menu.

Competing in the North East and Yorkshire heat were Liz Cottam and Bobby Geetha, who joined Luke French, the owner of Jöro in Sheffield, and Mark Aisthorpe of the Bulls Head in Derbyshire.

Bobby is the executive chef of Fleur Cafe, while Liz Cottam is the chef patron of HOME, The Owl and CORA. Both chefs are shortlisted as Chef of the Year in the Yorkshire Evening Post's Oliver Awards 2022.

Chefs from across the country are competing to have their dishes presented in the Great British Menu banquet, which this year is celebrating 100 years of British broadcasting.

The series is being presented by Andi Oliver with a new judging line-up - Michelin-starred Tom Kerridge, restaurateur Nisha Katona and comedian and food podcast presenter Ed Gamble.

O’Hare, the owner of Michelin-starred Leeds restaurant The Man Behind the Curtain, was revealed as the judge for the North East and Yorkshire heat.

So how did the Leeds chefs fare?
