Company details

  1. Corporate Entertainment Service

Written by the company

The Murder Mystery Meals Company have been in business since 1996 offering fun Murder Mystery evenings and weekends. We run over 450 events a year and offer a nationwide service. We can organise a venue for you or we can come to your home, a holiday cottage, office, hall, hotel. We are completely flexible. With our smaller events up to 35 guests with two actors we can offer an event where you all get a character and one of you is Murderer!! We do not tell the Murderer who they are so we don't spoil it for one person having to keep a secret. You all follow the clues and think "Do you know what, it might be me!!" For larger events for up to 140 people we will still try to involve some of the guests as characters alongside our 5 actors. All of our events provide a fun filled evening that you will be talking about for days.

We were looking for a Murder Mystery…

We were looking for a Murder Mystery for my sister's Hen and never having done one before I was not sure what to expect but from start to finish the communication was quick and efficient. On the night the actor's were excellent, we had an absolutely brilliant night with lots of fun and laughter. I would 100% recommend.

Exceeded All Expectations – The Highlight of Our Hen Weekend

We booked this murder mystery experience for a hen weekend, and it genuinely exceeded all expectations. From the start, even those in the group who were a bit sceptical ended up fully embracing it—by the end of the evening, everyone was completely in character and having an amazing time.

The whole experience was brilliantly run, with plenty of laughs throughout. Both actors were fantastic—engaging, professional, and they kept everything flowing smoothly so the evening stayed on track without ever feeling forced.

The attention to detail really stood out, especially the personalised invitations, which added such a special touch and got everyone excited before the event had even begun.

A special mention to Steve as well, who was incredibly helpful in the lead-up to the event. His communication was excellent, and he was so patient and responsive despite me asking what must have felt like 101 questions! It really helped everything feel organised and stress-free.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this experience—it was such a fun, memorable part of the weekend and something everyone is still talking about.

Me and my friends have not laughed that much in ages. Absolutely brilliant.
Down to all the little details, the characters and the dramatisation of the scenes it was wicked.

What an amazing evening we had!

What an amazing evening we had!
I found murder mystery meals when doing some research for a hen do I was planning and they did not disappoint.
Steve was amazing at getting everything organised for us and the communication for it all was second to none.
The venue Steve found for hosting the event was absolutely perfect! And the night itself was so much fun!
The actors were incredible, the story line was perfect for our hen do and the food was amazing. There was non stop laughter all evening and it was the prefect way to start the hen do as it was a great ice breaker for us all, all the hens absolutely loved it!
I would highly recommend to use this company for a murder mystery event as I know I will be using them again myself!
Thank you so much to Steve and the team for a great night!

Great fun!

I booked this for my sister’s hen party. She loves a murder mystery and I thought this would be slightly more special and less stressful than just buying a do-it-yourself! It was absolutely perfect. The planning was so easy, Steve was incredibly fast at replying to all of my emails and helped with any questions or stresses I had. Then the actual day went amazingly, everyone got into their characters, had a such good laugh, and the actors were great fun too. A highlight of the hen.
All in all a great event and would do it again!

Work Christmas party ‘The Curse of Solomon’s Ring’

We were looking for something a bit different for our Christmas party this year. I stumbled across Murder Meals by luck and after reading all the fab reviews decided to book an evening with them. Steve was brilliant with communication, and it was a really easy booking process.

The evening itself was so much fun. The two actors were excellent and we were crying with laughter watching each others “performances”.

I’d definitely book another event with Murder Mystery Meals. Fab entertainment alongside a meal, and a fantastic ice breaker!

Really well organised prior to the event with great email communication . Very professional and responsive if I had any questions .
The actors were prompt and were great in keeping us all on track with the script .
It was great fun and I would really recommend this company and this type of event .

I recently organised my daughter’s 18th birthday party and hired Murder Mystery Meals Company to host the event. From my very first enquiry, everything was handled exceptionally well. The team were incredibly organised, attentive, and flexible with all of my requests. Every question I had was answered clearly and promptly, and even when we needed to make last-minute changes due to guest cancellations, they adjusted everything without any hassle.

On the night of the party, the actors were absolutely fantastic. They performed brilliantly, engaged naturally with all the guests, and created an amazing atmosphere throughout the evening. Everyone loved the games, the interaction, and the overall experience. My 12-year-old son, who also took part, enjoyed it so much that he’s already asked if he can have the same for his 18th birthday!

I couldn’t be happier with the service we received. I highly recommend Murder Mystery Meals Company for anyone looking to host a fun, unique, and unforgettable event!

A fun evening

We had a very enjoyable evening with Professor Howard Carter and Nefertiti on Saturday evening. Plenty of laughs and fun had by all.
Only comments would be that Nefertiti was not really involved much and was a little casual. The prompt slips need to be written in the first person and perhaps highlighted to help people with reading difficulties.

16th birthday in private room at a hotel

A very good evening in a private room in a local hotel for my daughter’s 16th. The actors were very professional and organised. Lots of support and help before the event too ensuring it went well.

Amazing experience

Right from the first call, my experience has been nothing but great. Steve was responsive, and accommodating, and arranged an awesome evening for us. Actors were professional, and the mystery was a classic Christie coded whodunit. We couldn't have asked for more.

Small dinner party

Excellent night , the plot was very well written so the murdered person could still participate in the whole evening . Actors were very friendly and immersed in the whole event We were a private party of 7 people and I think they usually had larger gatherings but they adapted pretty well .

A brilliant and unforgettable evening!

I booked a murder mystery for my 30th birthday and it definitely was a night to remember for all the good reasons! Steve and the team were absolutely brilliant from the get go, and the communication between his team and myself before the event was great with any questions that I had being answered promptly and professionally. They gave out personal letters to each of the characters/guests a week before the evening so they knew a little bit of the backstory plus suggestions on how to dress and how to act when you got there which definitely eased our minds going into it and what to expect. Now onto the night itself! It was absolutely brilliant and so much fun! It was great to have the actors come in and help us if we were stuck, plus the little notes that they gave each of the characters to give us prompts on what to say really helped keep the story alive, which would could be easily read and understood by all ages! The props which they also brought in were an added bonus and I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone looking to book and spice up their dinner party, you really will have an unforgettable evening! Thankyou so much!
