HEAD Chef of Ambleside's Rothay Manor has made it to the finals of Great British Menu.
Dan McGeorge's appearance on the show was aired between 5 and 7 of May, during the North West heats of the 2021 season.
McGeorge featured as one of four chefs battling for a place in the finals week.
Other competitors included Kirk Howarth of Plates, London, Dave Critchley of Lu Ban, Liverpool and Ashwani Rangta, of Gupshup, Altrincham.
The first two days of the programme saw the 30-year-old Liverpudlian produce six dishes, including a canape, starter, fish course, main dish, pre-dessert, and a dessert, which secured his place in the finals.
Commenting on his win Dan said: ‘‘I really didn’t expect to win with such strong competition, especially from Kirk. But I’m really chuffed that I did and now I’m going to push on in finals week to see if I can get a dish to the banquet and do the North West proud."
The heats will be aired on May 17, before culminating in the banquet on Friday, May 21.
