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

    Dawn O’Porter & Gemma Cairney: How to champion your friends
    Jun 25 2026
    This week on Table for Four, Joanna Page and Mathew Horne are joined by broadcaster, author and campaigner Gemma Cairney and bestselling writer Dawn O’Porter for a joyful celebration of true friendship. Dawn and Gemma’s bond is unmistakable. Over broad bean and feta toasts, Tuscan chicken and a tropical mango roulade, they look back on 16 years of friendship, from meeting in Australia and instantly falling for each other, to wild nights in LA, unforgettable parties, motherhood, career milestones and the friends they’ve loved and lost along the way. They talk movingly about what it means to really champion another woman, to feel safe and nourished in someone’s company, and to have the kind of friendship that carries you through every stage of life. There are tears, huge laughs, a little chaos, and one very memorable taxi story that proves Dawn’s devotion beyond doubt.

    Sian Welby & Jordan North: the meal that poisoned everyone
    Jun 18 2026
    Sian Welby and Jordan North sit down for prawn toast, sea bass, and a mango trifle and somehow end up talking about dog food, poisoning an entire radio station, and crying over a Jammie Dodger. Capital Breakfast's beloved duo join Mathew Horne and Joanna Page on Table for Four, swapping stories about 4AM alarm clocks, working-class food nostalgia, and the chilli that wiped out half of Capital FM. From Jordan's Hairy Bikers recipe gone wrong to Sian's toddler demanding sangria hats at nursery, this episode serves up belly laughs alongside brown butter pilaf and coconut mango trifle. The pair reveal their dream butty shop, debate whether slaw is just posh coleslaw, and bond over childhood staples like Fray Bentos pies, meat paste sandwiches, and corned beef hash. Plus: Jordan's Guinness World Record, his I'm a Celeb eating trials, and why he once ate an entire trifle in bed during a January low point. The meal, as always, cooked by Good Food’s Senior Food Editor, Samuel Goldsmith featured prawn toast, pan-fried sea bass with gremolata and brown butter pilaf, sweetcorn slaw, and mango coconut trifle.
