Nathan Davies has secured first place on the menu at the Great British Menu 2022 banquet. The Welsh chef won the starter course during finals week after blowing away the judges and viewers at home with his dish.
If you're not familiar, the finals week of Great British Menu sees the winners from the regional heats compete to earn a place on the menu of a spectacular banquet, this year that banquet is celebrating 100 years of brilliant British broadcasting. Each episode will see the eight rivals compete over a different course, including a starter, a fish course, a main, and a dessert.
And now Nathan, who is co-owner of Aberystwyth's SY23, which was recently awarded a Michelin star and named the best new restaurant in the UK by the prestigious Michelin Guide, has bagged the starter round. The chef impressed judges Tom Kerridge, Nisha Katona, Ed Gamble and Steve Pemberton with his lamb dish, securing a perfect score of 40 out of 40.
