After four heats, the judges have whittled the contestants down to four deserving semi-finalists. Now the pressure ramps up as they have their culinary creativity put to the test once more. Their first challenge is designing a menu for a small dish featuring farm-grown wasabi from Co. Armagh, and a large dish featuring freshly caught hake from Ballycastle.

All four semi-finalists will get to cook their small dish – the judges' top three will go forward to cook their large dish. For the cook who fails, it's the end of the road.

The last three cooks standing go on to prepare their large dish, but which two will turn their venison into a mouth-watering meal worthy of a place in the grand final?

Revisiting two of the ingredients previously featured in the competition, they're tasked with preparing a formal two course meal to be served in the castle's grand state dining room, and to be enjoyed by the Earl of Erne, the two food producers behind the key ingredients, the five cooks who didn't make it into the final and judges Danni and Joris.

Which cook will handle the pressure to become the worthy winner?
