There are several lists of phobia names out there. I have not been able to find any exact match, but here is my best shot:

Deipnophobia: Fear of dining or dinner conversations.

[Syzygy]

Another close match is Glossophobia: fear of speaking in public or of trying to speak

Apparently the word glossophobia comes from the Greek word glossa, meaning tongue, and phobos, meaning fear or dread.
