Oliver Peyton - The Moon Under Water (Part 2)

Season 1, Ep. 42

*This is part 2 of Oliver Peyton’s episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part 1 first or things might be slightly confusing*


In the other realm the UK is known the world over for its pubs. In fact, one could argue that it has the highest amount of good pubs per capita in the world (though we’re led to believe that Tefota in Tuvalu is a belter which might mean they take that crown). But our food has always been somewhat lacking on the world stage. That’s changing, and this week’s guest is someone that’s had the privilege of trying some of the best food Britain has to offer. It’s restaurateur Oliver Peyton!


Oliver was a long-time judge on Great British Menu, a TV show that has made Landlord John weep openly on more than one occasion. But he’s not just an expert on food; he also knows a thing or two about alcohol, and you can be sure that his dream pub is going to be something very special.
