First things first, you’ll need to have completed the main story mission A Chance Encounter, and be on Hide, Hideaway. When those requirements have been met, head over to Kenneth, Kitchen Head who can be found in The Ale Hall to begin this quest.

Once you’ve given out all three dishes, return to Kenneth and you’ll discover some interesting facts, such as everyone here is treated as equals and will be served the finest cuisines available whereas out in the world you’re a slave and will be given rations when your master is ready.
