Kerridge said: "I've just spent a couple of hours witnessing one of the most incredible food services I've ever seen. The standard is so incredibly high."
The chefs took part in various challenges, with Papas winning the quick-fire speed round, where they had to sell their products from a stall.
They also took part in a fish knowledge quiz before impressing in the innovation cooking round, which saw them take first place.
