Antony Worrall Thompson and Galton Blackiston

Series one: Midlands and the east

Top chefs Antony Worrall Thompson and Galton Blackiston represented the Midlands and the east of England and went head-to-head to create a menu fit for the Queen. Find out more about the series.


Day one: Starter

Antony Worrall Thompson, Jennie Bond and Galton Blackiston

Galton Blackiston went in search of a superior cheese for his Wild mushroom and Norfolk asparagus pastry layers, while Anthony Worrall Thompson explored the orchards of Herefordshire and chose the ingredients for his starter - Chilled potato soup with watercress pesto and goats' cheese cream crostini.


Day two: Fish course

Galton Blackiston

Galton ventured to the bottom of his drive to meet his lobster supplier to get the perfect crustacean for his Lobster lasagne with Gruyère cream sauce. Anthony Worrall Thompson went further afield to find the perfect wild salmon to be accompanied by his spiced shellfish butter.


Day three: Meat course

Galton Blackiston

Galton’s quest continued as he travelled to Hindolveston to find free-range duck for his Roast Norfolk duckling with orange served with bubble and squeak. Antony Worrall Thompson went looking for sublime oxtail to create his Hereford oxtail with stout, prunes and horseradish mash.


Day four: Dessert

In Norfolk Galton looked for top-quality eggs to make the ice cream to accompany his Treacle sponge pudding, and Anthony searched for the perfect cream to help him create Baked egg custard with summer fruits.
