Faulty Towers The Dining Experience for Two

What Can I Expect

Here is your invitation to Faulty Towers The Dining Experience in London! This Fawlty Towers tribute puts you right in the heart of the action…or rather chaos…as Basil, Sybil and Manuel serve up dinner in the most slapstick and farcical way possible!

From welcoming the  Germans and insulting the Major, to dealing with guests who want French food and finding a rat, Fawlty Towers is a British sitcom with legendary status. When it first aired on the BBC in the 70s it wasn't an instant hit, but it is now a much-loved classic.

Anyone who has watched the TV comedy, which lasted for two series, will know all the seminal one-liners from sharp-tongued hotel owner Basil. Along with bossy wife Sybil and hapless ‘continental' Spanish waiter Manuel (he's from Barcelona, don't you know!) they ran the Fawlty Towers hotel.

Comical conversations, insults and farcical scenes are brought to life during this laugh-out-loud Faulty Towers dining experience. Take your seat in the restaurant and let the show begin. The vast majority of the spectacle is improvised, so expect lots of audience (that's you!) participation and banter as Basil, Sybil and Manuel start their somewhat haphazard dinner service.

And don't bother perusing the menu; you'll get what you're given. After all, you wouldn't want to exasperate an already ‘end-of-his-tether' Basil would you? But don't worry, there probably won't be any duck or Waldorf salad on the menu.

Swapping Torquay for the capital, these hilarious and entertaining dinners take place at a smart London hotel. Expect to be a guest for around two hours, during which time you'll be treated to a three-course meal, probably served with some seething put-downs! A rib-tickling soiree for anyone who loves Fawlty Towers.
