a chef de partie.

Your temper in the kitchen
is not acceptable!
It is not how I run my kitchen.
Find yourself a new sous-chef.
You shouldn't be drinking
with your medication.
It's only a few bevvies. I think
you should talk to Carly, you know.
If she wants to talk to me,
she knows where I am.
I need a commis chef.
So if you come back tomorrow,
we'll see how we go.
I need you to start
acting like a business owner.

Yeah.
You're stressing about this day,
aren't you?
Jamie, don't overthink it, OK?
Carly wouldn't have put it on
the menu if she didn't think
it was brilliant.
And it is brilliant.
You need to have a little bit more
faith in yourself.
I just, erm, I didn't really sleep.
I was kind of tossing and turning.
Why don't you take Arlo out for
a little walk
before coming to work, yeah?
Might clear your head a bit.

DOOR CLOSES
We've had many listeners
across the country
struggling to make ends meet.
The cost of living crisis,
bills going up
Morning, everyone.
Morning.
Welcome to any newcomers
or visitors.
My name's Emily
and I'm an alcoholic.
Hi, Emily.
Er, I'm going to hand over to Nora
who's going to do the preamble.
Thanks, Nora. My name's Nora
and I'm an alcoholic.
Hi, Nora.
AA preamble. Alcoholics Anonymous
is a fellowship of men and women who
share their experience, strength
and hope with each other
that they may solve their
common problem and help others
to recover from alcoholism. The
only requirement for membership is
a desire to stop drinking. There are
no dues or fees for AA membership.
We are self-supporting
through our own contributions.
AA's not allied with any sect,
denomination, politics,
organisation or institution
WHISPER: Take a seat.
..does not wish to engage in
any controversy, neither endorses
nor opposes any causes.
Our primary purpose is to stay sober
and help other alcoholics
to achieve sobriety.
Thanks. Thanks, Nora.
Are there any newcomers that
want to introduce themselves?
Just say hi?
Thank you, Emily. Take care.
Is this, like, some kind of Bible?
Not really, no.
I mean, it's got a lot of God
stuff in it, but, erm, it's more
..spiritual, you know?
It's more about, erm,
talking and listening to people
share their stories.
Yeah, I was going to share. I
just I don't think I'm ready yet.
You shouldn't rush it.
You don't have to rush it, Andy.
How long's it take?
As long as it takes.
How long did it take you?
Erm, three and a half years,
always in and out the rooms.
In and out? Just didn't just
didn't get it at first.
But that was 13 years ago.
Wow.
But you're in a much better place
than I was.
Am I? Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Um
..I was a
..I was a I was a mess.
Um
..remember I told you that I lost
Tony when I was really young?
Well, er, that's
when I started drinking.
And drink just became
company for me
..er, just became my companion.
I was just very, very lonely.
If I keep coming back,
will I have to get a
..thingy, what'd you call it?
A sponsor?
Yeah. Yeah, it's advised.
Yeah, you should.
Have you got one? Yeah, I have.
He's lovely.
Used to be a bank robber.
Would you be my sponsor?
Do you want me to be?
I think so, yeah.
Andy
..I'd love that.
I'd actually love that.
I'd love that. I would.
Come on. It's going to be
all right, you know? OK.
In that case
..you're going to need one of them.
Jamie's got his first dish
on the menu today.
Good kid, him.
Yeah, he is.
You up to much?
Yeah, er, I get Nathan a few days
a week now, for a few hours,
so, I'm going to just, er,
watch a DVD and have a pizza.
Aw, that's nice.
What are you going to watch?
I don't know. One of his superhero
things, I suppose.
Which one?
He loves Thor at the minute.
God, I love Thor.
What I wouldn't do for two and
a half hours of Chris Hemsworth.
SHE CHUCKLES
Yeah, I'm just going to crack on
with this now. Yeah, cool, thanks.
Chef, I've got your carrots
and leeks.
Er, OK, all right, I tell you
what I want you to do.
I want you to start
prepping the beets now.
They're going to be snacks,
so they're going to go out first.
Carly, have you seen my sugar?
Yeah, it's over here, girl.
Oh, God! You're definitely not
sweet enough for me, Bolton.
No chance. Too bitter.
Right, I need these
in a perfect dice.
OK. So, if you just grab one,
prep it, show me how you do it.
Yeah.
So, like this?
The trick is, you need to
trim the ends into a square.
Like that, yeah.
How you getting on, Bolton?
Yep, all good, Chef.
OK, shout me if you need anything.
Thank you.
Now you need to do batons, and then
these off cuts, we're going to put
in there, use them for a puree
cos we try not to waste anything.
All right, cool. All right? It's
just I'm still new to all this.
I'm still trying to get the hang of
stuff. Listen, don't worry.
You're here to learn, so you can
always ask questions, yeah?
Chef! You good? Delivery.
OK. You keep on that.
I'll come back in a sec.
Thank you, Chef.
Carly, sugar!
Yeah, it's coming now!
Yes, thank you.
Speaking of deliveries, I'm going to
drop a parcel off myself.
Oh, my God. Why's he got
to announce it every time?
I think he's the most fucking
disgusting person I've ever met
in my life. He's vile.
The man needs jet washing.
All right?
Hold on, what's this?
No, Joe, no! The apple sauce!
Yeah. It's supposed
to be apple wood chips.
What the hell am I supposed to do
with 7.5kg of apple sauce?!
Crumble?
I'll turn you into a crumble.
So, you don't want it then?
No, Joe, I do not want it.
Is this from the new meat supplier,
yeah? Yeah, yeah, all good.
Fuck's sake, Liam!
Something wrong?
So, let me get this right.
We ain't got enough leek.
We've got normal saffron
instead of Cheshire saffron.
We haven't got red cabbage,
baby turnips, Mexican marigold
and apple wood chips, and now
I'm getting frozen meat and all?
Can't I'm just a driver!
Right, they load it at the depot,
I get it here,
take it off and you take it off me.
Yeah, all right,
I know it's not your fault.
It's just very fucking annoying.
Yeah, I'll have a word
when I get back, all right?
Yeah, I'm going to call them
now anyway.
All right. See ya tomorrow, Carl.
Thanks, girl.
Yeah, see you tomorrow.
Scouse?!
Did you do your time sheet?
Sure thing. What about you?
Yeah, did you get paid?
Er, not yet, no.
Bro, Carly, she needs
to sort it out, man.
She keeps paying late.
Oh, yeah, I know.
Yo! Bro, you listen to The Pilots?!
You a fan? Yeah, I'm a fan. My guy!
Yeah, man, I went to go see them
last year. Honestly, they were
like Yeah. ..amazing, bro. When
you went, did they play the, um
..Rule The World? Of course
they played Rule The World.
'Course they did!
THEY SING TOGETHER
But the leaves
still turning brown
Boys, do you trust me?
Not at all, why?
You're going to need that.
Trust me on that one, lad.
Smelly bastard.
Bro, that is rank!
THEY GROAN
Hey! What is it you put in your food
that's made you produce gas
like this?! Ah!
Kwasia! That really
affected you, didn't it?
Yeah, yeah. You know,
he does this too much.
Ah, man, it's like tear gas.
Jesus Christ.
Bro! What?
Wait, wait, wait!
Let me show you. Come, come.
Hold on, hold on. Let me show you.
What do you mean?
Come, come, come.
"When a table for six walks in
ten minutes before you close."
HE LAUGHS
The eyes!
The eyes. The eyes never lie, bro.
Chico! Chico!
Chef, Liam's taking the piss, mate.
Seriously? Frozen meat.
Might as well just give us
a microwave and start selling ready
meals out the back. Yeah. Scouse?
Yes? I've told you.
I'm going to sort it.
But tonight, I just need you
to crack on.
Yeah. Yes, Chef.
Oh, Chef, Chef! The sous-chef job
..I've been doing it for a while now
and I thought, instead of you
getting someone else in,
I could just I could do it.
Listen, listen, don't worry.
I'm I'm on it. You're on it?
Yeah. Cool, OK. Johnny
Yeah?
..his key skills need a little TLC,
so can you look after him
tonight for me?
So, you want me to hold his hand
and wipe his arse,
while adjusting to frozen meat
on the day we launch your new menu?
I do, yeah.
OK. Yes, Chef. Yes, Chef?
OK. Good lad, yeah? Yeah.
Let's put this meat under the tap.
I'll go fuck myself.
Bolton? Hello.
Door. Again! Fuck's sake, Emily.
Every time, man!

- Right, come on, everybody!
Let's gather round, please.

Lovely, thank you.
Emily, how was the meeting?
Yeah, it was lovely, thank you.
Good, yeah? Yeah.
Right, everyone, listen up, please!
We've got 70 covers in
for tonight, which is decent.
We have been spreading
the word about the new menu.
Enthusiasm for the new menu!

some walk-ins,
so, everyone, on your toes
as usual, thank you.

tonight from the agency.
Hello, Rachel,
welcome to the family.
Front of house, on it,
nice energy, please, enthusiastic.
Mus, I'm looking at you, thank you.
Tonight, can we just push
the desserts whenever possible?
Carly, good time to
hand over to you, I think.
Yeah, as you said,
it is new menu day
and it is Jamie's
first dessert for us.
CHEERING
J-J-J-Jamie! Yeah, so please
do push the desserts.
Now, what isn't ideal is
that we've got a lot of items
missing from the delivery, which has
kind of fucked us in the kitchen
Chef, I saw that you don't
have any red cabbage.
How am I supposed to make
the garnish?
Are we not serving it or?
No, no, no, no. We're still doing
the full menu.
I'll come and talk you through it
in a sec. Nobody should be able to
tell the difference anyway,
right? No. Look,
we can absolutely do this,
you are all brilliant,
so I want you to go out there
and smash it tonight, yeah?
Yes, Chef!
Er, one more thing.
It is
..DJ Deano's birthday!
Happy birthday!
CHEERING
Happy birthday!

Thank you, thank you.
Do me proud. Thank you!

Oh, these are perfect.
I'm going to put them
where Dean can't see them.
Yeah, no worries.

the piping on this cos I prefer
your handwriting. Yeah, I'll do it
in a second. New kid?

Cheeky sod.
- BELL RINGS
- Service on table seven!
Bet he didn't make you cook with
frozen meat, did he? Table seven.
Ooh! Wow. Where's your crown, Dean?
Billy stole it off me. He does have
the better bone structure for it,
to be fair. Right, come back for
the sides. Yes, Chef.
Here we go.
Fallow deer and your ravioli.
Oh, thank you.
We're going to grab your sides,
but can I get you anything else?
Sorry to be a pain.
Can I have some salt, please?
Do you think this is The Ritz?
It's my birthday and I've got to get
her salt?! Of course! Thank you.
WHISPERS: Billy! Psst.
Hey! I want that back. That's
actually my crown. What tiara?
I don't know what you're talking
about, Dean. Oh, are you going to
explain this whole tiara-crown
thing? I'm a princess.
A princess? Yeah, I don't
look like a princess to you?
Babes, you are not a princess.
No way.
More like, um
..a king.
I thought you already came in
with a king. He's a dickhead.
You don't you don't like
that king? No.
You're eradicating the king?
Let's get rid of him.
Billy?
One sec. Oh, don't leave me. Please!
Yes?
What are you doing?
I'm trying to get us a good tip.
Is that OK?
I don't feel like that's just
trying to get a good tip.
You've seen me do it all the time.
It never usually bothers you.
No, I see you do it all the time
and it makes me feel shit, so
OK, I'm sorry, I didn't know.
Seriously, I'll stop,
if it actually bothers you.
OK? Mm. Yeah?
OK. Yeah? Yeah.
Fuck off!
No way they're real!
This fucking table,
what are they doing?!
It's really entertaining.
Like, no.
Everyone's looking at them.
Someone's definitely going to
complain. Were they playing porn?
OK, so, I'm trying
to serve customers
and they're playing those videos
where it's, like, silent
and then suddenly really
loud orgasm noises.
- BILLY GIGGLES
- Like, what are you doing?
Everyone's looking at you
and everyone hates you.
It's so good though! It's not,

Have you told Dean about it?
Service, please! That's my table.

moving to the kitchen?
I've not forgotten, but we just
We haven't got anything
at the minute. Yeah, I just
I don't like it out there.
Yeah, I know.
There's nothing I can do.

..followed by two venies, one duck
and one side of greens, please.

BELL RINGS

You're doing amazing, darling.
Can you check these, please, Emily?
Yep.
You've got it. Let's have a look.
I can't send these out. Yes,

you are, honestly? Calm down.
There's no need for that.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hang on a minute.
There's no need for that.
Emily! Guys! Some thing's are funny
and something's aren't.
Taking the piddle out of somebody
like that's not nice. Bolton! Yes?
Back to it. All right. Grow up! He
rips me, I rip him. Is what it is!
I know when to stop though, Bolton.
Just because you're stressing
about your meat doesn't mean
you have to wind the rest of us up.
Idiot.
Is that mine, Mus? Yes. They've
barely fucking touched it, man.
Emily, look. No, no, look, look,
they didn't say anything, but
Nothing at all?
No, but they liked it. Jamie, they
were probably just a bit full.
They were just full. They had
a lot of appetisers, I swear. OK.
Emily, I told you that was going
to happen. What's wrong with that?
I think it's decent, but the saffron
might be a bit heavy after a meal.
All right, all right.
For God's sake, man.
Clear your stuff up.
It looks like my room.
It looks like your mum's room.
Let me take that, let me take that.
You're so filthy.
Oh, Jamie! Jamie! Yeah?
Yeah? Thanks, man.
Jake, can you look at this?
It's not turning round properly.

Chef, it's that meat again.
The supplier's fucking shite.
Yip, yip, yip.
Bolton, I swear to God, if you keep
going on about that meat, I am going
to get a piece gristle OK.
..and I am going to shove it
All right, message understood.
..up your arse. I'd pay to see that.
Don't you start as well. Holly, can
you grab this for me, please? Yep.
Dean. Ah-ha? I've spoken
to the couple and
..they were really fucking horrible.
What's going on?
Just a vile table who think they're
sitting in their own living room.
Listen, let's just let them cool
off. We're handling it, it's fine,
it's fine. As long as people see
that we're doing something about it,
which we are, then we're good,
we're all right. Don't worry.
All right, don't wear that
to the table. Good point.
They definitely look like
gay bashers. They're also asking
about their desserts. Apparently,
they ordered them 15 minutes ago.
What table is it? Table nine.
Table nine?
They ordered it seven minutes ago.
Robyn, if they complain again,
just punch them in the fucking
throat, mate. Jamie, how long on
desserts on table nine, lad?
Er, five, ten minutes, Bolton.
Why's it five or ten minutes, lad?!
I know, I know. Mate, I know
I'm behind, I know. Lad, you're
fucking killing me here, come on.
Shut up, man.
Emily?
Yes?
WHISPERS: Em?
Yeah? Em, don't let this be a
distraction if he's running behind.
It's not going to be
a distraction, Carly.
Hey, Jamie. Oh, come on, Jamie!
I know, Carly.
Look, Bolton's right. I know,
I know. You need to
Look, they look beautiful, they're
perfect, but you need to pick up
the pace. I know. Yeah?
Emily! Yes!
Look, can you come and help him?
He's in the shit.
Jamie, I left you for five minutes.
Fucking mess, Emily, honestly!
Calm down! I'm finished with this
shit. Look at the mess you've made
now. I don't fucking care.
HE SNIFFS
HE BREATHES HEAVILY
INHALES AND EXHALES SLOWLY
Jake, take this, please, lad, yes?
Bolton! Hello?
I wouldn't forget about that duck in
there. I'm not going to forget about
the duck, don't worry.
It looks like it's going to burn.
That's not burnt.
Fuck's sake, man!
You know I could've sorted it out
for you. Oh, fucking hell, man!
Fuck's sake.
Why's it on 270?
Lad, if you see it burning,
don't ask me, just
..just do it yourself, lad, yeah?
Thank you. Away on table six!
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa, whoa.
Hold on! Hold on.
Let me look at this.
Well, what's wrong with it?
Did you ask?
They just said they didn't like it.
OK, er
..did you, um did you explain
the venison to them?
You sold the dish accurately? Yeah.
I said What did you say?
I said it was good.
Like, it was a good dish.
You said it was good?
And that it was new.
It was good, it was new.
That's it?
If it's on the menu and it looks
good and they pick it
and they don't like it,
then you need to ask them why
because there's something wrong.
Carly? Isn't there? Carly, love
It's your job It's not
their fault though, is it? It is
their fault! That is
literally their job!
You need to know what you're selling
and then if there's something
wrong, if they don't like it,
then you need to ask why
because there's a problem.
Isn't there? Come on, Carly.
It's not It's not my fault, man.
Spit that gum out!
Don't come to my pass smirking.
I'm not smirking.
Are you not bothered?
I've been working on that
venison for 24 hours. Carly! OK.
What have you been doing? Carly!
You've been at home.
No, no, I have worked too hard
on this.
We all know you have. You just need
to calm down. It's not their fault.
I'm calm. I'm calm, Emily! You're
taking it out on them and it's not
their fault. I will go out, shall I,
and do your job for you
and see why it didn't live up?
Because I'm not going to sit here
with a piece of shit on the menu
for three months because
some of us give a shit!
Fucking hell, Chef! Hey!
What the fuck, man?
Excuse me?
I'm fine. I am calm.
I'll be back in a minute, all right?
Table six? Yep.
Carly!
Oh, my God! Hello!
Hi. Hello.
What are you guys doing here?
We thought we'd track you down.
Yeah, wanted to see
how you're doing! Yeah?
Surprise!
WHISPERS: Oh, my fucking God!
How on earth?! How?
Well, yes, I know how,
I know how! I mean, since when?
Er, six months.
Shit! Er, OK.
I'm sitting down.
This is what you get
for not reading the chat.
I'm sorry. Sorry.
Did you message me?
I did, yeah. We all did.
A few times.
And called. You just disappeared on
us, Carly. It's fine. Look, we know
you've been super busy, so we've
just been letting you do your thing.
Girls, this is bad, isn't it?
This is really bad. I hate myself.
Are you firing me?
Yeah, yeah, this is
your exit interview.

Oh, I had the cod. Yeah, I had

The venison, um

SHRIEKS OF LAUGHTER
It's that table again? Kneed me in
my face, do you know what I mean?
I thought, "I ain't having that."
Good evening. My name's Dean,
I'm the manager.
I'm going to have to ask you both
to lower your voices down.
Gem, Gem, Gem. Er the venison,
how was it?
Yeah, it was amazing.
Yeah!? It was literally
the best meal I've had all year.
Was it? Was it what you expected?
Disturbing them? We've been waiting
30 minutes for dessert!
I can sort that for you.
It's disgusting service.
I can sort that, but you need to
keep it down, please.
I tell you what, if anyone's got
a problem with us, mate, yeah,
they can say it to my fucking face!
Excuse me, sir! Wow.
Don't use language like that.
Um, sorry, girls, I just

if you didn't abuse my staff.
I'm on live, by the way.
Film it! Film it! And can you not
surround our table, please? Yeah.
You've all been so aggressive to us.
Guys, guys, they're asking
a reasonable question.
No-one's come here to listen
to your reality show.
Pipe down, Peter Andre. Who put
a penny in you, you little povo!
OK, I'm going to ask you to leave.
Oh, great. You've run up a large
bill so Great! ..Dean,

It's unbelievable, this is.
You think I'm going to pay

Can you just tap your card, please?
What are you going to do, mate?
Point North, worse restaurant ever!
No, no, no, no! Put your hands down.

We'll know more about
how Jamie's doing later.
I promise, I will let you know

Carly's sentiments.
Please, do whatever you need to,
but I want to stay till we're done.
Yep, all right.
Thanks, guys. Thanks.
Hiya. Emily, is it? Yeah.
We've moved your son to a ward.

That's fine.
He's just come out of surgery.
He'll need to be reviewed
by psychiatry tomorrow morning.
Is he going to be all right, though?

Chef, we've run out of venison.
We sold out.
It's a really good menu, Chef,
you should be proud.
Thanks.
SHE SIGHS
Oh, dolls,
did somebody lean on the lights?
THEY ALL SING
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, dear Deano
You all right?
..Happy birthday to you.
THEY CHEER
Oh, my God, guys.
That singing was terrible.
Really bad.
Ah, Habibi.
Thank you so much.
It sounds like the business
probably isn't liable
if it's a thing that's been
going on for a while, right?
Err, yeah, er, no
We do have a duty of care
to our staff though, Liam.
Of course.
Yeah, which means not putting them
under unnecessary pressure.
We had a really tough shift tonight.
I mean, obviously, especially Jamie,
but all of us.
I think unfairly.
The meat supplier fucked us, Liam.
Do you want to have a conversation
with me about frozen meat?
What's the problem?
The problem is frozen meat, Liam.
That is a massive change
in the kitchen
and one that you cannot make on the
day without talking to me first
But it sounds like you did
brilliantly.
And you managed.
I
Oh, God.
Liam, we didn't manage,
though, did we?
My pastry chef is lying in hospital.
This shouldn't be
just about managing, Liam.
Well, either way,
well done tonight.

I didn't know, sweetheart,
it had got that bad, I'm so sorry.
It's OK. It's not your fault.
I know but I should have seen
something, I'm so sorry, darling.
I didn't know.
You can talk to me about anything,
you know that, right?
I know I'm not your mum
but I feel like I am.
You are my mum.
We'll be OK, though.
We'll get through this together.
Yeah? You're just going to have to
help me to understand.
I don't understand.
OK, OK. Sh
