The Restaurant UK
The Grand Final (1x15)
:
It is the grand final, Raymond must now decide which couple will become his partners and open their very own restaurant with his financial support and expertise.
To help him make this very important decision he takes the finalists to his home town of Besancon in France - the place where he grew up and started his own career. But the two couples are shocked to learn that they have less than 48 hours to open their own restaurant here for one night and introduce the French to British cuisine.
This proves to be the most stressful of all the tasks the couples have been given during the series. They must come up with a menu that will appeal to the French and train a new team in a foreign language. There are tears and tantrums as the restaurant service degenerates into chaos with some customers never receiving their food and front of house managers struggling to make themselves understood. Raymond brings family members, including his mother Anne Marie and his actor son Oliver, to both restaurants and listens to their views before announcing his decision.
