- Annoying guests now
The quality of guests is sometimes so low it really makes you wonder why you bothered listening. Recent guests just seem to moan about things and have no joy of their choices which seems a bit weird. Also, why film it, makes it worse to listen to now. All in all, just listen to old ones as you’ve ruined the pod I’m afraid.

United Kingdoma month ago - Great content, bad production
I really like Off Menu — the content is consistently entertaining, and I enjoy both presenters, so I listen regularly. The guests and conversations are often hilarious, and the format works really well. However, the production quality lets it down.
The sound effects and transition clips used to move between segments can feel distracting, old-fashioned and outdated. Rather than enhancing the conversation, they often interrupt its flow and give the podcast a slightly amateurish feel.

Apple Podcasts3Pointy123456789United Kingdoma month ago - diminishing returns
Used to be fab but victim of its own success now - just people on PR tours or annoying live (LOUD) returning guests. Guys have changed with success too. Shame. If you are new listen to first couple years when it was still good.
Apple Podcasts1Customer93United Kingdoma month ago - Best pod ever
Long time listener and I still love Ed and James! They’re hilarious (I’m often laughing out loud) and their food knowledge is superior.
