On perhaps the busiest evening of the year, the charismatic and demanding head chef Andy Jones (Stephen Graham) tries to find the balance between his professional and personal problems in his popular London restaurant. A surprise visit from the Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority puts the staff on edge while the overbooked restaurant is already starting to fill up with guests.
Andy tries to guide his staff through the chaotic evening with sometimes difficult customers, strictly but fairly, while everything he has worked so hard for is at stake. All this filmed in one long, uninterrupted, sometimes breathtaking take.
