The best BBQ chicken, pork and BBQ sauces. Hundreds of barbecue and grilling video recipes, with tips and tricks from home grillers.
Launch Date: Wednesday, 6 August 2025, at 8:00 PM on BBC One, with the first three episodes made available on BBC iPlayer same day, followed by weekly primetime broadcasts
Season Format: 3 broadcast episodes per week (Wed–Fri), over an eight‑week run, totaling 24 episodes
Filmed in 2024 with John Torode and Gregg Wallace as judges—their final pre-recorded series due to upheld misconduct allegations, including inappropriate language and behavior
The BBC and Banijay UK confirmed airing the completed series to honor contestants’ efforts. While episodes will air as filmed, review procedures have been applied to edit its presentation—particularly with regard to Wallace’s participation
Interim judges: Irish chef Anna Haugh (of Myrtle, and occasional judge on The Professionals) took part in later episodes at short notice
Future judge line‑up: Ongoing reviews suggest Grace Dent, Matt Tebbutt, or Andi Oliver may helm the show post-Torode/Wallace
Filming baseline: Held at 3 Mills Studios, East London (home to the show since 2014)
From 2024 onward, all series—including MasterChef UK (amateur & professional), Celebrity & Young MasterChef—are set to relocate to the new Digbeth Loc Studios, part of the Digbeth Creative Quarter in Birmingham’s Digbeth district
MasterChef production in Digbeth aligns with the BBC’s wider “Across the UK” strategy and will remain based there through at least 2030
Format: Amateur cooks face Mystery Box, Signature Dish, and Invention Tests each week; elimination in Tuesday’s MasterChef Kitchen Quiz decides who stays
Notable Techniques: The Classic “Chef’s Table” and international kitchen challenges continue as part of the finale format, echoing previous years’ global finals (like Singapore or London)
2024 Champion: Brin Pirathapan, a veterinary surgeon from Ilford representing British Tamil cuisine, claimed the title of MasterChef 2024 after competing in Series 20
