Expectations for Jon's food are pretty low as his fellow guests are convinced he can't cook, none more so than arrogant Frenchman Denis Verrier, who thinks the food won't be up to his usual standards.

The theme for the evening is "Mad Hat" tea party and Becky is making the hats, so no surprises to see Jon's is covered in tomato sauce sachets. With a theme like that no one will expect a visit from a troop of Morris dancers, which will delight fancy footed ex-raver Mel, but horrify an already traumatised Liv. And just exactly where did that horse come from?
25x65 - Bath, Denis Verrier
