The three chefs are halfway through their heat and the pressure is mounting. Once again, they each serve a unique take on the brief celebrating British invention and innovation. Whose inventions in the kitchen will veteran judge Paul Ainsworth consider the best?

Along with Masterchef, Great British Menu is a cooking show that has been running so long it is basically a national institution by now. However, even after all these years, Great British Menu manages to keep fresh with new ingredients for season 16 – former judge Andi Oliver is now presenter, with cook, writer and broadcaster Rachel Khoo taking her place on the judging panel.

It’s a very formidable line-up – so can the chefs impress with a menu based on innovation to celebrate thirty years of the world wide web?
