For one night only, Michelin-starred chef Angela Hartnett and co-host Nick Grimshaw will bring their chart-topping podcast Dish from Waitrose to the stage for a live show on Wednesday 17th September 2025 at the Royal Opera House.
Produced by Cold Glass Productions, the 90-minute dinner party-style live edition of Dish from Waitrose will be hosted in the historic main auditorium and is guaranteed to be packed with delicious conversation, signature recipes, infectious laughter, and surprise guests, ahead of the opening of Angela’s new restaurant that same month on the fifth floor.
Cicoria and Bar Cicoria by Angela Hartnett at the Royal Opera House will showcase Angela’s renowned Italian-inspired cooking in a sophisticated yet welcoming setting, serving lunch and dinner, with a backdrop of panoramic views over Covent Garden and beyond.
“Performing at the Royal Opera House just before opening Cicoria and Bar Cicoria feels surreal,” Angela said. “It’s such a special building, and Nick and I can’t wait to celebrate with everyone.”
Nick Grimshaw said: “We’re beyond excited to be on stage at the Royal Opera House, and we will try and restrain ourselves from attempting any ballet or opera throughout the evening.”

A Top 20 UK podcast that regularly tops the Apple Food Charts, boasting a 4.9/5 listener rating and over 630 million organic views across Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. Renowned for bringing the finest Waitrose ingredients and recipes straight to listeners’ ears, the podcast blends Angela Hartnett's unmatched culinary expertise and warm, approachable wisdom with Nick Grimshaw’s razor-sharp charm and disarming interview skills, drawing out the most entertaining and unexpected confessions from their guests.
