Mark McCabe is competing in the Scottish heat of The Great British Menu for a chance to represent the country. He is excited to be entering the GBM kitchen, and hopes to impress with his super tasty food.

The theme this year is animation and illustration celebrating Paddington’s 65th birthday. Mark attended school in Kirriemuir, where Peter Pan author J. M. Barrie was born. For his menu, he takes inspiration from the illustrated works of Peter Pan to celebrate the author who holds a special place in his heart.

Posting on Instagram, The Ethicurean said: “We are incredibly proud and delighted to announce that @mccabedoesstuff will be representing us on @greatbritishmenu this year, hosted by the lovely @andioliver. He’ll be competing in the Scottish heat against some amazing chefs in the famous kitchen, and we can’t wait for you to see it.

“The theme this year is ‘Illustration and Animation’ – we know Mark has some amazing ideas for his dishes. Tune in on Tuesday 28th Feb at 8pm on BBC2 to see how he gets on.”

In a statement about his time on the show, Mark said: “I’m delighted to have been asked to take part in Great British Menu and proud to be representing Scotland where I was born and brought up. I still can’t quite believe it!

“It’s my first year in the competition, and the theme of Animation and Illustration couldn’t have been better. I had so much fun coming up with dishes that reflected some of my favourite childhood stories.

“Having been Head Chef at The Ethicurean for 4 years now, I felt it was the right time to push myself a little further and see what I could achieve, but I couldn’t have done any of it without the support of the team at the restaurant and Matthew, my business partner who helped in any way they could.”
