Comedienne Emma Kennedy recalls her childhood in 1977 in Stevenage where her mother Brenda, a hopeless cook, persuades put-upon husband Tony to stage a diner party for quarrelsome family friends Jenny and Tim. A quest for pasta leads to a rift between the couple whilst Emma innocently exposes Tim's infidelity but Brenda is determined to hold her evening, with extra guests, the extremely jovial Palmers. An awkward dinner party ensues thanks to a disastrous lasagne and the arrival of an unwelcome guest.
