A group of strangers compete to be crowned the ultimate dinner party host, with a £1000 prize at stake, as they navigate the challenges of a culinary competition.
Amateur chefs compete to host the best dinner party, each party for fellow competitors. With a set budget, they submit menus in advance, featuring a starter, main, and dessert. Guests rate each party on a 1-10 scale, considering factors beyond food quality. The host with the highest score wins £1,000.
