Each episode will see three local eateries come together to compete to try and claim the prestigious award and cash prize. 

Professional chefs and restaurateurs will show off their best culinary skills to be named the best independent restaurant in their town, country or city.  

Each restaurant will be represented by a partnership of two people and will welcome their rivals to sample a meal during normal dinner service, to judge the atmosphere, food and service. 

The visiting pairs will then score the entire evening out of 20, with those with the highest score winning the prize. 

The series will be narrated by Dave Lamb and will be part of Channel 4’s daytime slate. 

Come Dine With Me: The Professionals will air on Channel 4 in 2022.
