Which celebrity chefs will be joining Fred Sirieix for Remarkable Places to Eat Season 3?

Remarkable Places to Eat Season 3 will see The Great British Bake Off star Nadiya Hussain take Fred on a trip around Yorkshire where the pair sample some of the local delicacies on offer. 

First Fred is introduced to Fat Rascals — a kind of cross between a scone and a rock cake — which are the best-selling cakes at Betty's Tea Rooms in Harrogate. 

Next they head off to sample the finest Wensleydale cheese, before trying 60p samosas at Anand Sweets in Harehills, Leeds. 

The pair then take a trip to the seaside to for a delicious crab brioche in Saltburn-by-the-Sea, and if that hasn't made you hungry already, there are also cheese and fruitcake picnics and Malham Cove to be enjoyed. 

Episode two will see Chris Bavin taking Fred on a tour of the New Forest, where local produce is the key to everything that is cooked. There is wood-fire cooking and pork pies to be discovered, before the pair head off in search for the perfect pub Ploughman's.
