Jay superbly orchestrates conversation combining food and life with engaging guests; what’s not to love?

Tucci charming. Locatelli menu great and interesting for anecdotes. Grant too on perfume (whilst eating truffle). A delight. To look forward to.

Love Jay’s written food reviews, love him on Masterchef and now this! The main chat obviously centres around food but through their food choices or stories, it also allows you to learn a lot about each interviewee too.

I’ve listened to two episodes so far, with Richard E Grant and Mel C, and loved them. The interviews are incisive, fun and unearth fascinating details about their subjects, while also showcasing some rather lovely restaurants and food (I’m compiling a list of ones I want to visit already). Listening to this podcast is a real delight, and I will be recommending it to all my friends.

Really enjoyed this podcast with Jay, have been listening to him for years on Saturday kitchen table...thoroughly looking forward to further podcasts and even though there are little advertisements, it’s much more of a thorough interview than you get with television or radio...well done..xx

I have always loved listening to passionate people talk about a subject they know inside and out. This show is just that, in a chocolate covered, truffled infused nutshell. Jay is a master at switching between the guest’s specialized subject, their personal lives and the food being served and it creates an intimate fly on the wall lunch date. Can’t wait to hear more!

A delicious selection of chat, cheek & honesty, with a sprinkling of foodie chat - absolutely top notch entertainment.

Loved it, gently explorative, not forced. Looking forward to hearing more. Thank you for improving my day.

I always listen to a podcast in the car and this was perfect company!

Love Jay Rayner can’t wait to listen to more 😊

Enjoyed the podcast hugely. Loved the little insights that Jay tucked in ( pun intended 🙈) - Christmas puds made in 1 factory- who knew! Look forward to getting more of those and listening to people’s relationship with food.

Jay shows a true talent for bringing out the best in Richard E Grant and with combination of charm, guile and quick thinking manages to relax Richard and allow him to shine whilst probing and posing questions that Richard clearly hadn’t been asked before. Uplifting, funny, insightful and a great start to this series and to the weekend Thanks Jay and REG

Made me smile and giggle - and want to smell absolutely everything

A thoroughly enjoyable conversation, loved hearing Richard E. Grant tell his stories. Restaurant sounds wonderful too. Well done Mr. Rayner!

How could this not be fabulous. It is presented by Jay Rayner. Also Richard E Grant. Frankly Jay could speak to a cardboard box and I would find it amazing

The next best thing to joining Jay Raynor for lunch is listening to him order a platter of interesting dishes.

Jay’s conversation with Richard E Grant was glorious.

Entertaining as interviewer and interviewee don’t seem to take themselves that serious BUT be prepared to listen to hear the folks eating, chewing and drinking...if this is your thing, great! If it isn’t, brace yourself.

Absolutely adored this - more of the same please. Jay does a great interview. ⭐️

No idea who Jay ... ? Is, but its school break, I’m a Londoner living in Cape Town with two little girls who are both annoyed I’m not listening to them whilst I listen to Richard E Grant and cook during a power cut! Must subscribe, plus look up Jay thingy? on internet once power restored. Louisa

...when something is as juicy as you hope it’s going to be. I knew this was an ace idea for a podcast as soon as I saw it and the combo of Jay Rayner and Richard E Grant did not disappoint. I walked my dog around a bleak, cold park with this playing on my headphones and it cheered me along immeasurably.

Delightful first episode, thoroughly enjoyed Richard’s openness and Jay’s candid-yet-friendly questioning. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Adored this episode with Richard! And now want to go to this restaurant

Jay is always great value, and his debut podcast with Richard E Grant is a fascinating listen. I’m already making plans to visit the restaurant they ate at!

I knew this would be good & it is! Really looking forward to the next episode. A conversation over food can be so revealing & poignant.

I’ve checked my calendar, and my availability (like my appetite) is good, well into my next life.

PS Is that you on the ol’ Joanna?

Excited about this. The podcast sounds as lively as his restaurant reviews. Amazing names as guests.

More swearing celebs please!
