Glasgow restaurant to welcome Outlander's Caitriona Balfe for podcast recording

Outlander star Caitriona Balfe is set to join a top line-up including Scottish presenters and celebrity chefs for an exciting new podcast recording.

The actor, who plays Claire Fraser in the hit show, will join The Gannet’s own Peter McKenna, Michelin-starred chef Adam Handling, Scottish presenter Hardeep Singh Kohli and celebrity chef Nick Nairn, for the special event.

Taking place at the fine-dining restaurant in Finnieston, the Grilled by The Staff Canteen podcast will, for the first time, be hosted and recorded in front of an audience.

Following the huge download success of Grilled, a podcast that features the UK's biggest-name chefs and their guests, The Staff Canteen has teamed up with The Gannet, which was recently named among the top 10 best fine dining restaurants in the UK, for the special recording.

On March 8, the host of Grilled, Cara Houchen, editor of The Staff Canteen, will be joined by the top line up, where they and guests will sit down for a unique dinner created by chef-owner of The Gannet, Peter McKenna.

As they work their way through the menu they will be ‘grilled’ with questions from Cara and the audience with games, never heard before stories, and a few other surprises.

Cara Houchen said: “Grilled has become our most popular piece of content over the past two years so we are incredibly excited to take it to the next level! Often the outtakes from the podcast recordings are the funniest or juiciest bits, as this one is live our audience will get to experience the full lot.

“It’s a privilege to hold the first Grilled live at The Gannet and the guests who are joining me are all incredibly talented, entertaining, and hopefully up for a laugh as we have some really exciting things planned for this plus as always I will be asking my guests anything – it’s definitely not one to be missed.”

Peter McKenna added: “I’m incredibly excited to be hosting the first ‘live’ Grilled podcast here at The Gannet. We have an incredible line-up of guests, some I’ve known for years, others I’m looking forward to getting to know.”
