Marcus called Alex a genius for his meal, as he began with a scallop ceviche with an artichoke and pickled pear tartare, yoghurt foam, parsley powder and crispy capers finished with a watercress oil.

Alex chose for his main pan seared trout, with parsnip crisps, parsnip coleslaw, roasted parsnip, parsley gel and a parsnip puree, finished with a mussel and caviar cream sauce, served with a mini potato fish pie topped with caviar and parsley powder.

Finally, his last course from his winning menu was a white chocolate and passion fruit dome, with passion fruit pearls, a prosecco sorbet on a feuilletine and dark chocolate base served with a passion fruit cocktail and passion fruit powder party poppers.
