I've now tried this command several times now with my family of 6 (with correspondingly large table) in the Dining room next to the kitchen and it works every time whereas before, not setting it leads to them going off to various places.
Cook, Mum (skill 9 in my game) cooks a meal for 8 and then sets the table, goes back to the kitchen and then uses "call to meal" Worked every time, even when someone set the table for her just before "call to meal"
I've seen various complaints of it not working in the past so does the problem lie with the table chosen or pack or has any bug been patched?
I have all packs, (no mods etc. in my game yet)

Yes, that's been my experience too. If the table is set they will all sit at a place setting until they finish eating. Sometimes they even linger after and chit chat which I just love.
Yes, and it seems to linger for a while as some of my young Sims had been sleeping and sat around it in unused places with a second call from Mum after half the family had finished. It made a particularly good Grand Meal at Winterfest when everybody came immediately and enjoyed themselves. It is also very good for their Social mood.
When I think about it one of the settings (Party" looks like a quiet pointer (slipped in early) to give the Season's "Events" an extra boost. Packs working together.
I was just wondering which tables were giving trouble or had those been sorted after Seasons.
My family of six used all six places. First 4 one end, late two further end. Nobody had cleared the empty plates though.
(Not the Family in my Avatar picture, that was a Spring event).
Maybe there's a trick to it?
This is very nice to know!
my main household has two tables, one indoors, one outdoors. usually different teens will set each table on their own. and, when hungry, sims will sit at the indoors table first. as soon as the last place is used, the next sim will go sit at a placemat outside. it takes a few days for this to happen, since it's a 5 sim household, both tables seat 6, and all five sims have the 'hardly hungry' trait. sometimes the first table has setting placed again before the second even gets used. all without me having them do anything
However I downloaded a mod by LittleMsSam that stops the placemats from disappearing until after they're done eating.

That bug still happens?
(She/her)
@Pegasys Which mod is that? The only one I found was the mod that stops autonomous setting table.
Yes, unsurprisingly.
@Aine - It's one of the mods - Placemats only disappear after finished Eating - that make up part of LittleMsSam's Random Small Mods.

Does this work if you have decorations on the table?
Because you have to use 'Call to Meal' so everyone arrives roughly at the same time. The OP is talking about how everyone sits at the same table instead of going off to random tables.
