Come Dine with Me is a British reality series that has aired on Channel 4 since 10 January 2005 and is narrated by Dave Lamb.
Format
The original format features five amateur chefs who live in the same town or area, who each host a three-course dinner party for the other contestants at their own home over successive episodes. Each competitor then rates the host's food and hosting skills during the taxi journey home, with the highest-scoring chef winning £1,000 cash at the end of the five-episode cycle. The show often features guests with clashing personalities.
Episodes produced for primetime broadcast feature four contestants over a single hour-long episode.
Dave Lamb provides a voiceover, which sometimes includes sarcastic comments on the chefs' food and interior design.
Notable moments
A 2016 episode attracted particular attention, when contestant Peter Marsh made ungracious remarks upon losing to the winning contestant Jane. He said to her and the other contestants: "What a sad little life, Jane. Enjoy the money. I hope now you will spend it on getting some lessons in grace and decorum, because you have all the grace of a reversing dump truck without any tyres on."{{cite news|last=Forrester|first=Katy|date=5 January 2016|title=Come Dine With Me's Peter breaks his silence after being branded a 'sore loser'|url=https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/tv/come-dine-mes-peter-marsh-7120097|access-date=20 September 2021|website=Daily Mirror|language=en}}
Another episode gained attention online, when a clip on video sharing site YouTube of contestant Kev Riley fitting a balloon whisk into his mouth went viral.{{cite web|url=https://youtube.com/watch?v=l1Qerh-h5Vc|title=Come dine with me hilarious clip|via=YouTube|access-date=23 May 2022}} In an 'ask me anything' session on Reddit in 2022,{{Cite web|date=20 Jan 2021|title=I am the "Whisk Guy" from Come Dine With Me.

This clip has had over 100m views on various threads across social media. This has resulted in the sale of merchandise, flags appearing at Glastonbury, and Riley being a regular contributor on Cameo.
From 2020, due to COVID-19, all five contestants cooked and ate in the same house; this is instead of having the contestants visiting each other's houses to dine. The location of the house would vary depending on which city the five episodes were taking place. Episodes shown from 2024 reverts to contestants hosting from their own homes.
