Lavinia takes Angela and Old Tom to the town's finest restaurant. Old Tom is horrified when the owner, Chef Geoff, serves them tiny portions, so he hijacks the dessert trolley. Old Tom gets thrown out, but he doesn't mind because he thinks his culinary nightmare is now over. Unfortunately, Angela has bought the Chef's cookbook and attempts to make his dishes at home. Even Angela thinks the food is inedible and returns to the restaurant to find out why the recipes don't work. By mistake, Old Tom's toy - a fishbone - gets put in the garbage. But when Old Tom goes through the bins to find it, he discovers Chef Geoff's guilty secret - he is really serving pre-packaged and out of date food. The restaurant is closed down and Old Tom goes back to his old diet.
