    Welcome to You’ve Been Served, the new podcast from Good Food where comedian Patrick Spicer heads behind the scenes at some of England’s most exciting restaurants to find out what really goes on once the dining room lights are on and the service gets going. For the first episode, Patrick visits Tom Kerridge at The Hand & Flowers in Marlow, the first pub in the UK to win two Michelin stars. No pressure, then. Tom talks about his journey from setting up skittles in Gloucester to running one of the country’s most famous pubs, the chaos of old-school kitchens, why hospitality is a team sport, and the terrifying sound of a ticket machine that simply will not stop printing. There’s also talk of bronze trainers, Panda Pops, guilty pleasure curries, water park burgers, Michelin-starred stag dos and whether chefs should be heckled more often. Probably not, but Patrick does make a strong case. Funny, honest and full of proper behind-the-pass gossip, this is the perfect first serving of You’ve Been Served. Learn more about your ad choices.
