Plastering over wood ?

[sells1]

I have tonge and groove panaling on the walls in my kitchen, and do not
really fancy demolishing the kitchen to remove it.

Is there any kind of plaster i can use over the panaling for a flat wall
finish ?

As timber expands and contracts at a different rate to plaster, any plaster finish would start to crack over time and fall off. If you really don't want to remove the T&G, then I would recomend Plaster Boarding it. This would still move but at a smaller rate as the boards are screwed to the T&G and not Stuck/adhered.

personally I Would remove the T&G, the extra work would give better results in the long run.

Agreed and if the plaster is okay behind the t&g,more money saving !
