Pod In The Park – Details, episodes & analysis

The ultimate pub podcast is almost here! Recorded live at Tom Kerridge's Pub In The Park festivals over the course of last summer, Simon welcomes a host of A-listers into his fantasy boozer, The Park Inn, to celebrate the best and worst of pub culture. From lock-ins, roasts and jukebox favourites to pints, pickled eggs and pork scratchings, he leaves no sticky beer mat unturned as he and his guests reflect on their relationship with the public house. And what a line up of guests it is - with David Tennant, Mel C, Danny and Tom from McFly, Stephen Mangan, Sara Davies, Philip Glenister, Angellica Bell, Richard Herring, Leigh Francis, Angela Hartnett, Mary Berry, Rick Stein, Boyzlife and former Prime Minister Gordon Brown among those propping up the bar - and also playing darts!

Simon's fantasy boozer, The Park Inn, is officially open for business. And what a grand opening it is as he welcomes culinary legends Mary Berry and Rick Stein through his doors to share their pub tales in front of an audience at Pub In The Park in Marlow. Among the many revelations, their preferred method for cleaning out crumbs from the bottom of a crisp packet, how Rick fell into a hedge surrounded by chickens after his first ever pint, what Mary used to drink to impress the rugby boys in her youth, and how both have a mutual love of the much-maligned 70s eatery, Berni Inn. Simon also introduces the concept of British Tapas, and we find out who wins the inaugural match of our celebrity darts tournament.

It's a double session at The Park Inn, as first Tom and Elliot (AKA Example) and then Matt and Angela share their pub tales with Simon. We find out who they'd like to spend the night with in our secret snug, what tunes they want on a fantasy jukebox, why the pork scratching is the king of snacks, and the non-negotiables when it comes to the perfect pub. Angela also serves up a Michelin-starred crisp sandwich, and our darts leaderboard starts to take shape as the four of them step up to the oche.

Two more likely lads to appear on a podcast about pub culture would be hard to find, as inveterate good-timers Keith and Brian swing by The Park Inn to share their pub tales with Simon at Pub In The Park in Marlow. They discuss the unique sensibility of the elderly Irish barfly, the secret to siphoning off your parents' booze, late nights on tour and how to host the perfect lock-in. Our inaugural Darts Championship continues, and we find out who comes out on top in this particular battle.

It's all about sticky carpets on the latest session in The Park Inn, as everyone agrees a little bit of grubiness is essential when it comes to the perfect boozer. Publicans Candice and Jose come to blows over whether a Yorkshire pudding should be soggy or crispy, reflect upon the makeup of the perfect Scotch egg and celebrate the open fire. Mae has a great choice of person she'd like to spend an evening in our imaginary snug with, and Vernon makes a surprising confession about his introduction to drinking. And The Park Inn Darts Championship continues, with one of our four guests making their way to the top of the leaderboard ...
