Further details
Sous chef Bib is working under masses of pressure, whilst head chef Roland White is taking his own time, away from service, to write a book that nobody has asked him to, much to the annoyance of restaurant manager Caroline.
Spurred on by the news a publisher is coming to dinner with owner Celia, he sets about showing his worth as a top chef. To assist his put-upon sous chef, he hires an apprentice; Skoose. Bib is overjoyed. This, however, is short-lived. Assisted by kooky waitress Kiki, the team pulls together under the pressure of a busy dinner service to keep it running smoothly and impress the guests with their top-quality food. Will they do it?
