The second group of five experience the pressure of a professional kitchen for the first time. They must cook a dish for John and Gregg that they would have on the menu of their own restaurant or feature in a cookbook.
In an unexpected twist, the contestants discover that they are not only presenting their food to John and Gregg, but also to legendary chef Marcus Wareing, who will be helping John and Gregg evaluate the five amateurs. At the end of this challenge, two of them will be going home.
The remaining three head to the Game Bird restaurant at the Stafford Hotel to work with culinary director Ben Tish.

No-one knows the food better than they do, and expectations are high. Who will buckle under the intense pressure as they cook in a demanding and totally new environment?
In a competition where only the food matters, these amateurs will need to stand out to survive – taking another precious step towards being crowned MasterChef champion 2021.
