Table for Four

Listen for free

Hosted by Mathew Horne and Joanna Page, each episode of Table for Four brings two hosts and a celebrity duo around the table for an honest, funny and revealing conversation. Whether they’re a married couple, an on-screen pairing, lifelong friends or creative collaborators, the format stays the same: four voices, one table, and no rush to leave. Across the series, Mathew and Joanna invite some of the most recognisable partnerships in entertainment to talk about how they really work together. From first meetings and shared successes to tensions, misunderstandings and moments that changed everything, the conversation goes far beyond the surface. Expect laughter, candour and the occasional curveball, as guests open up about what it takes to maintain a partnership in public, private and everything in between. There’s no formal interview, no press-junket polish, just relaxed conversation guided by curiosity and warmth. Food acts as the backdrop rather than the focus, creating a space where guests can settle in, let their guard down and talk freely about their lives, careers and relationships. At its heart, Table for Four is about connection: how partnerships are formed, how they survive change, and what happens when two people choose to keep showing up for each other. It’s a celebration of collaboration, companionship and the stories that only emerge when you sit down together and stay awhile.Immediate Art Cooking Food & Wine

    Larry Lamb & Alison Steadman: reuniting the Gavin & Stacey family
    Jun 11 2026
    Nineteen years after their hit series first aired, Matthew Horne and Joanna Page reunite with their Gavin and Stacey co-stars Larry Lamb and Alison Steadman for the Table for Four podcast. Over Spanish omelette, roast chicken and plenty of custard, Alison and Larry look back on nearly 20 years of Gavin & Stacey, sharing memories from their first auditions, cast dinners in Barry, and the chemistry that made Pam and Mick one of Britain's favourite TV couples. The conversation takes some surprising turns, from passionate debates about the perfect cup of tea and washing-up habits to Larry's extraordinary journey from the oil industry in Libya and Canada to becoming an actor. Alison opens up about the emotional family discovery she made while filming her recent DNA journey, while Larry shares one of his moving original poems. Expect laughter, nostalgia, heartfelt moments and plenty of behind-the-scenes stories from two of television's most treasured performers. Plus: bread pudding, extra custard, and why David Attenborough and the Obamas would make the perfect dinner guests.

    If you like easy conversation, good food and the odd welcome tangent, you'll feel right at home here. In this episode of Table for Four by Good Food, Joanna Page and Mathew Horne are joined by Connor Swindells and Alistair Petrie for a relaxed, funny and quietly revealing chat over cocktails and a generous spread. There's talk of how they first met on Sex Education, Paris Fashion Week detours, cooking (or not cooking), and the small, telling details that come with long friendships. From lost dogs to perfectly crisp roast potatoes. What unfolds is loose and unforced. Plenty of laughs, a bit of gentle ribbing, and moments where the conversation lands somewhere more thoughtful without making a fuss about it. It's the kind of episode you can dip into and stay for longer than you meant to.
