About British Caffs: How to cook a PROPER fry-up

Things People Do ·

2025/03/26

This week, Joe and Tom sit down with Anna and Nev, the sibling duo behind the UK’s oldest family-run caff. It’s been serving up lasagnas, fry-ups and strong cups of tea for 125 years — long enough to witness changing food trends, a few fights behind the counter, and some very questionable breakfast orders. They spill the beans on famous customers, proper portions, and why calling it a “café” is just plain wrong. Oh, and Madonna might have had their bread and butter pudding.We love Anna and Nev's

Our guest this week is Danny Robins, ghost hunter and host of Uncanny. He spends his life speaking to people who swear they’ve seen ghosts—but does he actually believe in them?

We are in Bristol for another Things People Did, and our guest this week is comedian and Tik Tok sensation, Abi Clarke. Abi has had quite the journey, from work experience at a hairdressers (where they basically kept her in a cupboard), to making it on the big screen as an extra in Poldark, where she mostly just flirted with 'the hottest man alive' whilst dressed in a horrendous wig. She also invented something called 'dog of the week' and she teaches Joe how to improv as a welsh chimney sweep. It's
