The winning chefs answer questions about their menus and what inspired them.

Adam Simmonds - Starter
"It really was a true honour and a privilege to give something back to these guys and in some small way, say a big, big thank you for what they did so many years ago. "
Emily Watkins - Fish
"Both of my grandfathers served in the navy in WW2, and although they have now passed away I know they would be immensely proud of me."
James Durrant - Main
"I was shocked and humbled. It was a massive honour to know that I would be able to commemorate D-Day and WWII and to thank the veterans."
Colin McGurran - Dessert
"Nothing prepared me for the true inspiration I felt after speaking to the war veterans. It truly overwhelmed me and I felt very insignificant next to such bravery."
