Alex Polizzi: Chefs on Trial - Series 1, Episode 5




Miners Arms Heat 1

Alex tackles the Miners Arms, a gastropub in the Forest of Dean. Mario and Karen Constantinides have found it impossible to find a new head chef to help them transform their menu from good pub grub to a destination restaurant. They've now turned to Alex for help to find the right person.

In this episode, the first three candidates are put through a grueling hands-on interview process. A local rack of lamb immediately puts their butchery skills under scrutiny. Young pretender James flashes a 'gourmet' tattoo, but will his costings prove to be up to scratch? Laid-back Robert offers up 'three little pigs' as his signature dish, but will his relaxed attitude let him down? And ambitious Craig attempts the reinvention of a pasty, but will this intricate dish be a risk too far?
