Bath Priory Hotel to take part in BBC's Great British Menu

Chris Horridge, head chef at The Bath Priory Hotel is delighted to have been chosen to represent the South West of England in the third series of the BBC's Great British Menu.

Chris will be competing for the opportunity to cook a fantastic four-course dinner to be held in June, at the restaurant at the top of the iconic Gherkin building in London. The host is Heston Blumenthal (from the 3 Michelin starred restaurant The Fat Duck in Bray, Berkshire) and his guests will include top chefs from around the world as well as gourmets and celebrities.

Chris Horridge started at the Bath Priory in June 2005. Within the first 6 months he retained the restaurant's Michelin star, a feat rarely achieved in such a short time. A crucial part of Chris' cuisine is the nutritional dimension. Every item in a dish is analysed to ensure the nutrients remain or he improves their bio-availability with complimentary ingredients using the latest research.

The Great British menu starts at 6.30pm on BBC 2 on Monday 17th March. Chris will be appearing on the show from Friday 28th March.
