Pod In The Park

Kelly Cates & Vicky Pattison

There are laughter and tears at The Park Inn in our final episode before a short break, as the brilliant Kelly & Vicky join Simon to swap their pub tales. They also invent a pub exclusively for ladies, where men are welcome by invitation only, there's a rage room with a karaoke machine in it featuring only angry, feminist songs, and all the pictures on the walls are portraits of brilliant women. It's an absolute hoot

They also create a theme bar based around musical instruments with an absolutely banging name, explain the principle of crispy eggs, and get quite crude about youthful dalliances in the boozer.

Anton Du Beke & Gok Wan

Simon opens the doors of The Park Inn for season 2, and welcomes Anton and Gok with open arms. Anton reveals the unfortunate reason he's teetotal, his love of old-fashioned puddings and his loathing for cold butter, while Gok eulogises about gravy in typically over-the-top fashion. We also have a singalong to Miss You by Everything But The Girl - but with a lyric replaced by Simon that's suitably culinary.
