Nick and Angela welcome British-Malaysian comic Phil Wang. While studying Engineering at Cambridge, Phil got a sniff of stand-up comedy and was hooked. In 2010 and 2011, he was voted funniest student in the UK and the MBA his mother had always dreamed of, was no longer on the table. Phil has mastered all mediums, with Netflix specials and comedy panel shows like Taskmaster and Have I Got News For You under his belt. He has written a book, Sidesplitter: How to Be from Two Worlds at Once and has also made us laugh aurally, with programmes on BBC Radio 4 and a podcast series called BudPod with fellow comedian Pierre Novellie. Wang In There, Baby, is Phil’s brand new tour, hitting the UK and Ireland in March. Infamous for rating local Asian restaurants on twitter while on tour, Phil keeps Angela on her toes as she carefully prepares some spicy beef and broccoli noodles. Nick pairs the dish with a lager, Birra Moretti. As series two of DISH draws to a close, this penultimate episode is FULL of laughs! Phil pitches what he believes is the best meal of the day, Nick shares what Jennifer Saunders once said to him backstage and Angela confesses that she cannot be trusted with your kitchen appliances.

Beloved British actor and now author, Hugh Bonneville visits Nick and Angela at casa Grimshaw. Hugh has appeared in many iconic films opposite some of the greats of Hollywood, Notting Hill with Julia Roberts, Iris with Judi Dench, The Monuments Men with George Clooney, and the Paddington movies with everyone’s favourite bear. He’s equally celebrated for his portrayal of Robert Crawley in TV drama Downton Abbey and its film adaptations, for which he received Golden Globe nominations, two Emmys and the cast won three SAG Awards for Outstanding Ensemble in a Drama Series. Hugh recently published his debut memoir, Playing Under the Piano: From Downton to Darkest Peru. It’s fair to say that Mr Bonneville rather hit the jackpot, as Angela Hartnett prepares Christmas dinner with all the trimmings. The special occasion calls for oysters and Champagne to start. Followed by a rosemary & black pepper brined wing rib of beef, flanked by sticky pigs in blankets, gratin dauphinois, maple-roast parsnips and carrots, brussels sprouts with pancetta and a red cabbage slaw. All paired with a delicate Muga Selección Especial Reserva and Angela’s special tiramisu for dessert.  In this episode, Angela shares her incredible gravy recipe, Nick expresses his guilt about eating in front of the crew and Hugh tells some hilarious audition anecdotes and how he discovered his mother was a spy.

Comedian Jayde Adams brings her West Country wit to Dish HQ this week.  Dawn French calls her the ‘3rd funniest woman in the world’ and we know why. Her passion for acting, singing and comedy is rivalled only by her fondness for fodder. Jayde was nominated for best newcomer at the Edinburgh Fringe for her debut show (which is almost unheard of), won her first major acting role in 2021 on BBC 2’s ‘Alma’s Not Normal’ and is now on tour with the hilarious, ‘Men, I Can Save You’ - tickets can be found at jaydeadams.com Jayde loves food more than people and as such got suitably moist around the eye at the prospect of Angela Hartnett cooking her a steak and polenta mash. Talk around the table turns to the cider renaissance, 7 course tasting menus and how Heston Blumenthal changed her mind on red wine.

Scarlett Moffatt landed in our living rooms in 2014 and has never left. Stars of the smash hit show Gogglebox, the Moffatt family have entertained the nation with their hilarious observations on tv and of course life. Scarlett answered the call of the Jungle and was crowned Queen of I’m a Celebrity in 2016, from there she worked with Ant and Dec on that show and their Saturday Night Takeaway. Right now, you catch her on Celebability with Iain Stirling on the ITV Hub. Having walked 7000 steps before reaching DISH HQ, Scarlett was starving, so Angela prepared a speedy coconut and prawn curry. Nick poured the prosecco and Scarlett entertained us with snack ideas like scotch eggs with chocolate spread and beans on toast topped with wotsits. Conversation includes what she keeps in her cupboard under the stairs, what it’s like being friends with Ant and Dec and the northern ‘delicacy’ that Angela must try!

Tom Grennan is a Bedford boy done good. With a flair for football, he pursued a professional career in his teens until the competition proved too stiff. Taking stock, Tom decided to give his other gift a shot. He began gigging around London and got spotted in a pub by a record label. His songs ‘A Little Bit of Love’ and ‘By Your Side’ (with Calvin Harris) were the second and third most played tracks of 2021 and his new tune ‘All These Nights’ is out now. As Tom is pescatarian, Angela plated up some delicious hake with a roast red pepper sauce made with love by our novice chef Nick. Round the table, Tom tries an olive for the first time, shares his unconventional mash potato recipe and if you thought Grimshaw’s G-Wagon story was good (James May episode) ...wait till you hear what happened to Tom’s brand new wheels.

This week Michelle de Swarte brings lots of laughter to the table at Dish HQ. Our guest is multi-talented! At 19 she swapped South London for the catwalks of NYC. Struggling to find her voice, Michelle left modelling for journalism and began making documentary films with icon and activist Gloria Steinem. Next, she gave stand-up comedy a shot which led her to Katherine Ryan, who she supported on tour and starred alongside on Netflix (The Duchess). In what is only her second acting job, Michelle plays ‘Natasha’ in comedy horror The Baby on Sky Atlantic now. Angela treats Michelle’s taste buds to some succulent roast lamb with lemon chickpeas paired with a fabulous fleurie.
