7pm - 10pm - The Murder Mystery Dinner Party​:

Your night begins with intrigue as our professional actor(s) bring a tailor-made murder mystery to life. Two hosts will lead the evening for groups of 16+ guests, while guests receive character roles and scripts in advance so they can join the action.

The story unfolds in between each course that your chef prepares, with plenty of clever twists, playful humour (you can choose between Adult or PG levels of humour), and moments that will have everyone talking. Engaging Plot, Hilarious Twists: Prepare for an ingenious plotline filled with twists, turns, and plenty of laughs. Guests will become part of the story, embodying their characters as they unravel the mystery.

A talented private chef will prepare a fully bespoke menu. Choose two starters, two mains (plus a vegetarian or vegan option if required), and two desserts to suit your group’s tastes. Everything is included - chef hire, all ingredients, and full clean-up - so you can simply relax and enjoy. Please see the evening timeline:
