In this festive episode of Dish, Nick and Angela are joined by the beloved Welsh actor, comedian and broadcaster, Rob Brydon MBE.

Rob’s career began on radio before his BBC Two mockumentary Marion and Geoff put him on the TV map in 2000. Career highlights include his portrayal of Uncle Bryn in Gavin and Stacey, and The Trip with Steve Coogan, a sitcom that has now reached cult status. Rob has presented the BBC’s Would I Lie to You since 2009 and hosts his own podcast, Brydon &, which is now in its seventh series.

Nick mixes a gin & tonic for Rob, while Angela prepares a rib eye steak with tarragon, parsley & garlic butter, potato dauphinoise by Julius Roberts and roasted cabbage with anchoïade by Tara Wigley. The experts at Waitrose pair this with a Terre Da Vino Barolo Riserva DOCG.

Rob Brydon is the epitome of entertainment. Having supplied a very detailed email on his food preferences, Nick and Angela dive into his thoughts on condiments, his passion for kiwis and his problem with mushrooms. Rob talks about the Gavin and Stacey Christmas Special and treats us to a selection of his incredible impressions!

  1. Does anybody know how waitrose are making money from this?. I imagine they have to pay the guests, the hosts will cost alot also. Are they losing thinking they will make a return of investment??

  2. Bagna cauda is anchovies, butter and lots of garlic – I’m from Piemonte and it’s a tradition for many winter dinners 😊

  4. I just listened to this podcast. They were having an uproarious party. They were laughing so so much. Don’t miss the end of the episode.

  5. I remember the first time I heard about Bagna Cauda , it was on Nigella Lawson's cooking show many many years ago before I could even boil an egg.

  6. Including the movies with Coogan I've seen Rob Brydon eat more than I've seen Ollie and Josh❤

  7. Thank you for the link with recipes! Been watching the shorts for a while just noticed that!❤️💛💚

  8. I MUST TELL YOU THIS!!! When i first found bagna cauda i made it loke the recipe and it was good…but i later found a recipe that used reduced cream instead of olive oil and its heavenly! Sooo much better,! I took it to a dinner once and everyone loved it.! They stood around the table trying to guess what it was. They couldn't believe it had anchovies in it! One person said he hated anchovies as he dipped another mushroom in it.

  9. Anxovada in Catalonia, same thing, anchovies, a fresh herb, garlic, mustard, and a very good olive oil. We are all Mediterranian relatives, and the recipes don't care about the countries borders.
