If you enjoy sharp comedy, good food and the kind of chat that goes gloriously off-menu, you’re in the right place.

In this episode of Table for Four by Good Food, Joanna Page and Mathew Horne sit down with long-time collaborators Russell Howard and Dan Atkinson for a relaxed, very funny dinner. Between bites cooked by resident chef Samuel Goldsmith, the pair trace their first meeting on the chaotic 90s comedy circuit, swap stories from the writing room, and confess to some truly questionable cooking moments, including a mackerel dauphinoise that divided opinion.

Expect warm chemistry, quick-fire wit and the sort of meandering food talk that only happens when everyone forgets the cameras are rolling.

Pull up a chair, press play and join the conversation.
