Channel 4 commissions Come Dine With Me spin-off

The broadcaster has ordered a ‘twist’ on the classic series.

In Come Dine With Me: The Professionals teams of professional chefs and restaurateurs will go head to head to be crowned the best independent restaurant in their town, county or city.

The daytime series will be narrated by CDWM voiceover Dave Lamb, who is noted for his wry observations on the main series.

“Come Dine With Me continues to be one of Channel 4’s best loved programmes with many memorable dinners served all over the UK in over 2,000 episodes. CDWM: The Professionals promises to really raise the stakes and we’re delighted to dish up this new extension on Channel 4 in 2022 to complement existing favourites Come Dine With Me and Couples Come Dine With Me.” – Jo Street, Head of Daytime at Channel 4

Each self-contained episode will feature three local eateries competing to claim the prestigious CDWM:TP award and a cash prize shared among the winning restaurant’s staff. Each restaurant will be represented by a partnership of two – for example the owner and head chef – who will welcome their rivals for a meal that they hope will impress.

The dinner takes place during a normal service, so the visitors will have the chance to check out the atmosphere, the food and the service. At the end of each meal, the visiting restaurant pairs will score the evening out of 20 with the highest scorers overall scooping the prize.

“For 15 glorious years, we’ve been celebrating the culinary creations and epic fails that pour forth from the Nation’s home kitchens. Now, as they recover from the battering of the last couple of years, Come Dine With Me cheers on Britain’s restaurants with its customary love note to gastronomic endeavour”. – Tim Carter, MultiStory Media CEO

The twenty-part series – produced by ITV Studios’ Multi Story Media – will begin on Channel 4 and All 4 in 2022.
