Check out where Paul and Nick stop on their trip ...

Paul and Nick travel along the Northern Ireland coastline, stopping in Glenarm, Downpatrick, Bushmills, Kilkeel, Donaghadee and Armoy. They also sail to Scotland to explore their shared Ulster-Scots heritage in Portpatrick and Ardrossan.

Each time they prepare a three-course meal to impress local dinner guests. Check out the map below and click on the pins to discover what’s on the menu in each location.

Glenarm: Paul and Nick set off on their culinary journey on the east Antrim coast to cook a salmon feast, posh steak and chips and an apricot crumble for Lord Antrim at Glenarm Castle.
Downpatrick: Paul and Nick sail into Strangford Lough to cook an Ulster-Scotch dinner in Downpatrick . A summer broth and local venison are on the menu, while a close encounter with some bees inspire a taste of honey dessert.
Portpatrick: The top chefs sail to Portpatrick on the west coast of Scotland to cook fabulous local shellfish, roast beef and a rhubarb jelly for some hungry lifeboat men.
Bushmills: The chefs pay a visit to Bushmills to sample some local produce and dishes (and the whisky), which inspire them to prepare an Ulster-Scotch brunch for the local WI.
Kilkeel: Paul and Nick venture to Kilkeel where a visit to the local fish market helps inspire them to prepare the starter of a three-course feast for some local Ulster-Scots. But will their main dish of lamb be well received?
Ardrossan: Paul and Nick sail to Ardrossan on the west coast of Scotland to cook a meal inspired by Scotland’s national poet Robert Burns for the Ardrossan Ulster-Scots Society. Their Burns’ Supper features a cock-a-leekie terrine and haggis with a modern twist.
Donaghadee: The chefs sail to Donaghadee to prepare a gourmet feast for a local Ulster-Scots folk band. A successful fishing trip puts mackerel on the menu but how will their guests feel about eating it raw?
Armoy: Paul and Nick end their journey in Armoy on the north Antrim Coast where they prepare a culinary feast for some hungry local bikers. A visit to a local pig farm inspires the main course but will they succeed in perfecting their dessert?
