  • Suranne Jones, seared tuna with braised tomatoes & chickpeas and a crumble

    Suranne Jones, seared tuna with braised tomatoes & chickpeas and a crumble
    Oct 8 2025
    We’re joined by a BAFTA winner for an easy-to-make, extra tasty dinner and a spoonful of dessert. Suranne Jones’ acting credits are a must-watch list of shows including Doctor Foster, Vigil, Gentleman Jack and Coronation Street. Add to that list her new show, Frauds, a heist-driven thriller in which she stars alongside Jodie Whittaker. On the menu for this episode is seared tuna with braised tomatoes & chickpeas, paired on this occasion with a Telmont Champagne Reserve Brut NV - a special accompaniment and a favourite of Suranne’s when she is drinking. This is followed by a perfectly seasonal autumn apple & blackberry crumble. Suranne’s a bad influence in Frauds, but pure joy and excellent vibes around the Dish table, bringing a list of food likes and dislikes that matches, and maybe surpasses, the one brought by Benedict Cumberbatch. We get into the magic of Oldham, the power of Corrie and the appeal of Doctor Foster... and Suranne quickly comes clean that she’s a Dish superfan having listened to ALL episodes while on set for her new show. We salute you! You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and, new for this season, on Spotify.

  • Mawaan Rizwan, pork & mushroom tantanmen and a vermouth cocktail

    Mawaan Rizwan, pork & mushroom tantanmen and a vermouth cocktail
    Oct 1 2025
    Nick and Angela welcome a performer whose surreal comedy has made him one of Britain’s most distinctive voices. Mawaan Rizwan’s career has been anything but ordinary, taking him from clown school to the Edinburgh Fringe. He created and stars in the surreal BBC comedy Juice, which earned him a BAFTA, and now he joins Nick and Angela to talk about the show’s new series. Mawaan likes a vermouth cocktail (when he’s feeling fancy), so Nick pours a Sharp Dresser to start. Mawaan is also a big fan of ramen, so Angela serves a pork and mushroom tantanmen, topped with jammy eggs and spring onions. The dish is paired with a glass of The Dry Dam Riesling, whose acidity and creamy notes balance the richness of the broth. The conversation reflects Mawaan’s playful spirit, touching on his passion for Beef Wellington, the time he sculpted Paul Hollywood’s cheekbones in brandy snap, and even the unlikely showbiz “beef” he’s nursing with Ellie Goulding. He also lets Angela in on his burrata hack for levelling up instant noodles. You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and, new for this season, on Spotify.

  • Sir Grayson Perry, smashed cucumber and steak noodle salad and a beer

    Sir Grayson Perry, smashed cucumber and steak noodle salad and a beer
    Sep 24 2025
    Nick and Angela welcome a new member to the ‘I Cycled to Dish’ club, as Sir Grayson Perry pedals his way to the Dish table. Grayson is one of Britain’s most celebrated contemporary artists. A potter, writer, broadcaster and social commentator, he rose to fame in 2003 when he won the Turner Prize, becoming the first ceramicist to receive the honour. He joins Nick and Angela to talk about his new tour, Are You Good?, which asks whether any of us are truly behaving ourselves. We keep it simple at the start, with an ice-cold Daura Damm gluten-free beer. Grayson loves fresh, crunchy salads, and Angela obliges by serving a smashed cucumber and steak noodle salad. The umami flavours are complemented with a glass of Albert Road Pinot Noir. Between bites, the chat covers Marmite confessions, banana rituals, nostalgia for greasy spoons and Nick’s delight at discovering someone who likes a pickled onion as much as he does. We even get to hear about the joys of overtaking men in Lycra while wearing a frock. You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and, new for this season, on Spotify.

  • Graham Norton, lemon butter trout and a dirty vodka martini

    Graham Norton, lemon butter trout and a dirty vodka martini
    Sep 17 2025
    Nick and Angela welcome the legendary chat show host who has been on the Dish dream guest list since the very beginning. It only took eight seasons but we finally have Graham Norton at the Dish Table. The Irish comedian, broadcaster, writer and king of Friday night TV stops by to chat about his new podcast, Wanging On, which he co-hosts with Maria McErlane. The perfectly titled show sees Graham and Maria offer advice to help tackle a wide range of problems; from neighbourly disputes to unruly pets. Although Graham lives in a vegan household, he is rather partial to a scotch egg which Angela serves as the episode’s starter alongside a dirty vodka martini made wet at Graham’s request. For the main course, Angela delivers lemon butter trout with roast potatoes & fennel. The trout is paired with a glass of Craggy Range Sauvignon Blanc. Great food is matched by great chat, with Graham telling us about his full throttle food awakening on a French exchange trip and sharing his expert advice on a couple of Dish dilemmas from our audience. We get to learn about the magic of The Graham Norton Show sofa and why Brad Pitt is yet to take a seat on it. An episode we didn’t want to end featuring a guest we can’t wait to have back.

    We’re back for a new season and are celebrating with two huge stars, who take our Fast Food Quiz VERY seriously. The long wait is over. Dish returns for Season 8 and Nick and Angela welcome two British actors who have conquered Hollywood. Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman join us to chat about their new film, The Roses (a reimagination of 1989’s War of The Roses) where they play a deeply dysfunctional married couple. We start with gin and tonics and a modified Hugo Spritz for Olivia, before serving a glass of Terre di Vita Organic Zibibbo Sicilia, paired with our main course of roast spatchcock chicken with coriander, red chilli and charred limes. Angela serves the main with french fries and a side of sprouting broccoli, which she sautéed with soy sauce, sesame oil and salt. Olivia and Benedict take their seats for a welcome meal along with a drink... or three. We loved spending time in their company, hearing about how they raise each other’s acting game and Olivia’s on-set superpower! We also get THE most comprehensive list of likes and dislikes from Benedict and find out about his unlikely stint as a sous chef. It’s good to be back.

  • Sophie Turner, cheesy lemon spaghetti and a Pouilly-Vinzelles

    Sophie Turner, cheesy lemon spaghetti and a Pouilly-Vinzelles
    Jul 9 2025
    Season 7 comes to a close with more sausage chat than we possibly expected. Nick and Angela are joined by British actress Sophie Turner for our final episode of the season. Sophie's career began on the cult fantasy show Game of Thrones where she played the steely Sansa Stark. Sophie, who was cast in the show at the age of 13, played the character throughout its eight seasons and has credited the production for her early career development. More recently, Sophie has starred as jewel thief Joan Hannington in Joan, her first lead acting role, and is due to star in Steal, a heist thriller and the horror film, Trust. The show begins with a Hugo Spritz (made by Sophie) and is quickly followed by a starter snack that makes its first, and probably only, appearance on Dish. For the main course, Angela delivers Sophie’s dream dishes in the form of cheesy lemon spaghetti and tomato salad with burrata and basil oil, accompanied by a glass of Pouilly-Vinzelles Joseph Drouhin. This episode is a fitting finale with a guest who loved every second in the studio. What Sophie lacks in cooking skills she makes up for in her passion for good food including sausages, chocolate, pasta, obscure salads from New York and the mighty jacket potato. Just don’t ask her to explain the Game of Thrones plot...

  • Lou Sanders, creamy mushroom & pistachio tagliatelle and a Brunello

    Lou Sanders, creamy mushroom & pistachio tagliatelle and a Brunello
    Jul 2 2025
    Nick and Ange are joined by a Last One Laughing star - and the Dish table sees its first proposal. Lou Sanders is a comedian, writer and podcaster who has appeared on TV shows including QI, Dancing on Ice, Would I Lie to You, Live at the Apollo and Taskmaster, which she won in 2019. She joins us at the tail end of her latest stand-up tour, No Kissing in the Bingo Hall, and following her iconic appearance in Last One Laughing. Earlier this year Lou launched a brand new podcast, A Psychic Told Us To Do It, with her best friend Georgie Bayford. The show puts Lou’s passion for the spiritual front and centre, featuring chats about pet psychics, witchcraft, holistic foot therapy and manifesting. You can also read all about Lou’s life and career in her 2023 book, What’s That Lady Doing?. Angela serves a delicious creamy mushroom & pistachio tagliatelle, with a side of sauteed garlic and spinach. Our Waitrose wine experts suggest pairing this with a glass of Val di Suga Brunello di Montalcino but, for Lou, it’s served with a glass of Thomson & Scott Noughty Rouge Dealcoholized Wine. As you would expect, conversations in this episode roam freely, contemplating all the big questions: Is Lou in her gardening era?; Is her cat Bobert her husband from a past life?; And what is the deal with raw onion? Our tagliatelle dish is a vegan hit, earning Lou’s seal of approval right from the first sniff, and the Fast Food Quiz finally meets its match.

  • Ewan McGregor, Charley Boorman, tomahawk steak and a Cabernet Sauvignon

    Ewan McGregor, Charley Boorman, tomahawk steak and a Cabernet Sauvignon
    Jun 25 2025
    Nick and Angela greet good friends who love to travel on two wheels. Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman bring their passion for adventure to Dish following the release of their latest TV show, Long Way Home. Their fourth motorcycle trip together sees them plot a path through 17 European countries on two vintage bikes. The Long Way series began in 2004 when the pair embarked on an epic route from London to New York, via Asia, in Long Way Round. Each trip they take is characterised by beautiful landscapes, chance encounters, good (and not so good) food and Charley and Ewan’s close friendship. Ewan McGregor has been on our screens since his acting debut in 1993. His hugely successful career includes unforgettable roles in Trainspotting, Shallow Grave, Star Wars, Salmon FIshing in the Yemen and Moulin Rouge!. Charley, who met Ewan on a film set in 1997, is well known for his TV adventures, including By Any Means, which saw him travel from Ireland to Australia using any modes of transport he could find. He has also participated in the Dakar Rally, known to be one of the world’s toughest and most dangerous motorsport competitions. There’s not a lot of room to spare on this week’s table, with a feast of food and drink to tempt our guests. At Ewan’s request, Angela serves a slice of nostalgia in the form of Melba toast with chicken liver pâté, smoked mackerel pâté and pâté de campagne, before bringing out the haggis bon-bons. Drinks are negronis, tweaked by Charley, who suggests switching the gin for tequila, and a Pentire coastal spritz for Ewan. This is followed by an epic tomahawk steak with spicy dipping sauce and fries, paired with a glass of Journey's End Sir Lowry Cabernet Sauvignon. After arriving on motorbikes (a Dish first), Charley and Ewan quickly settle at the Dish table, where chat moves from boiled egg banter to bagpipes and classic Mongolian hospitality. Charley shares one of his favourite recipes and Ewan reminisces on an unforgettable meeting with Delia Smith. The episode finishes with Nick and Angela checking out the bikes, a moment you can watch on our YouTube channel as part of the full episode. You can watch Long Way Home on Apple TV+ now.
