The entire province is rooting for our head chef at Deanes at Queens Chris Fearon who is representing Northern Ireland in the UK heat of Great British Menu.  Chris made short work of his local competition when he appeared on the Northern Ireland heat of the programme on BBC2 a few weeks ago and now goes on to compete against the other regional winners for his place cooking at the ultimate street party in London in June.  We’ll all be glued to our screens when Chris next appears on Great British Menu on BBC2 at 6.30pm starting Monday May 30^th.  Our money’s definitely on Chris who wowed the judges with his awesome cooking and creativity giving him a sensational clean sweep in the regional competition. Keep watching this space!!
