The heat is on in Swansea as professional restaurateurs Calum and Lucy from the Secret Bar and Kitchen kick off the latest episode of Come Dine With Me: The Professionals. With a £1000 prize on the line, the competition is fierce. Calum and Lucy showcase a fish-focused menu, which could be a challenge for their guest and fellow competitor, fish-phobic Stuart. Nick and Rich are also in attendance, ready to tackle any leftovers.
On the first night, the conversation flows as smoothly as the wine, with the rivals bonding over discussions of their previous careers. Day two sees Nick and Rich take over the hosting duties at The Plough. They present an impressive spread, including a smoking dessert and a flaming pudding that dazzles everyone visually. However, rare lamb proves to be a risky choice. Wine becomes a topic of discussion once again, with Lucy calling out Calum for his frugality when it comes to vino. Nostalgic chatter also leads to some misunderstandings about mince pies.
The final night finds Stuart and Marius hosting at The Mine. The conversation takes an intriguing turn as they discuss who among them would survive in a mine. However, the massive main courses and desserts might be a bigger challenge than any underground adventure. Has The Mine struck gold with their menu, or will another restaurant take the week’s prize?
Come Dine With Me: The Professionals, Swansea, airs on Channel 4 at 5.00 pm on Tuesday, 21 May 2024.
