In a first for the series, chef Johnnie Mountain walked out of the Great British Menu during the fish course round of the North West heats.
The chef, who has recently moved his restaurant The English Pig to Milbank, has scored four out of ten for his fish course in his previous two appearances in the show. This year, his dish "a recreation of the sea" made up of edible sand and a sea 'jelly' was given a score of two out of ten of by judge Marcus Wareing. He declared the competition "pointless" before walking out.
