Three couples are tested in Raymond Blanc's challenge and the losers have their restaurants closed as the search for a couple with excellent culinary and business skills continues. Summoned to meet Raymond for their briefing, the three couples find him in the last place they'd expect – the breakfast bar at a motorway service station.
They discover that their success depends on their taking on the giants of mass catering, each at a different motorway stop. They have half a day to devise a menu that will pull road-weary holiday-makers away from the traditional fast-food counters and to come up with promotional ideas that reflect their respective restaurant's values.
And then it's all about making it happen as the army of hungry, hurried families arrive to find their lunchtime pit-stop nosh is not exactly what they've been expecting. Father-and-daughter team Mike and Harriet's The Blue Goose can't find a goose costume to publicise their offering, but they do dress Ali up as an ostrich. Richard and Scott start well, but illness grips Richard so Scott has to battle on without him, making coq au vin for hungry drivers. Russell and Michele concentrate on research, but have trouble matching their loving Cheerful Soul brand to the in-out world of motorway service.
Raymond has to decide who will stay and who will go and tonight one restaurant must close for good.
