Creative culinary competition. Phil and Nick are both preparing dishes using mackerel. Nick hopes his elegant mackerel with nectarine will have the edge.

This year on Great British Menu, the ultimate professional cooking competition, 24 of Britain's top chefs are competing for the chance to cook at a prestigious Taste of Summer banquet celebrating 140 years of the iconic Wimbledon Championships. The chefs have been challenged to create outstanding dishes that capture a 'taste of summer'. Their menus must reflect the tastes, smells and colours of everybody's favourite time of year and pay tribute to the incredible history and prestige of the tournament.

Today the pressure in the kitchen is high as the chefs prepare their fish courses. Paul Croasdale, who previously worked as Phil's head chef, is trying to recreate the elegance of Wimbledon with luxury ingredients such as king crab and scallops.

Phil and Nick are both preparing dishes using humble mackerel which they hope they can elevate for the exacting standards of Wimbledon. Phil is using the flavours of summer cup cocktail to enhance his dish, while Nick hopes his elegant mackerel with nectarine will have the edge.
