His starter was a Carmarthen-Japanese sumo tuna tartare with avocado, edamame beans and wasabi, served with deep-fried cockle popcorn and a mango egg. For his main course, Wynne served a bread of Evans cannon of lamb, served on samphire with wild garlic, porcini mushrooms and lamb rendered fried bread, with pomme dauphine and a fondant leek, finished with a red wine and red currant jus. As for his dessert, Wynne made Bara Brith with Caerphilly cheese and fig jam, served with brie ice cream on crumbled Bara Brith and poached figs.
John Torode was also impressed by Wynne's dishes, noting that it tells a story. ‘His food, it’s exciting, it’s ambitious, and it’s got a little bit of artistic flare. He’s a proud Welshman with a big heart.’ Wynne himself was also overjoyed with his win. ‘The experience has totally changed my life. It has just been beautiful. When you start to believe in yourself, that’s when good things start to happen.’
