Cal Byerley Great British Menu
Northumberland-born Cal Byerley is a contestant on Series 19 of the Great British Menu, presented by Andi Oliver. He features as one of four chefs representing the North East of England in the regional heats, alongside Samira Effa, Scott John-Hodgson and Adam Degg. The chefs will be competing to make it through to the Great British Menu Banquet 2024.
33-year-old Cal, from Northumberland, is competing in his second consecutive year of Great British Menu.
Cal said: “I was pretty gutted at just missing out on securing a place for the regional cook-offs for the banquet last year, which is why I took a bit of time to think about things. There wasn’t much in it but on reflection, there were a couple of things I could have done better – and as a result I’m ready to give it another go.
“This year’s theme is pretty epic, so we’ll just have to see where I end up as competing against some of the UK’s best established and up-and-coming chefs.”
This year’s theme is celebrating Britain’s success in the Olympics and Paralympics. His menu is inspired by North East sporting legends and Olympic winners of the past and future.
