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.

30th Birthday Murder Mystery

We had a murder mystery night for my sons 30th birthday in a rented cottage in Wales, with a private chef. Steve was fantastic at helping with the booking and coordinating the timings with the chef. He made everything very easy and straight forward. The actors on the night were so funny and kept everyone engaged and the night flowing. It was fun from start to finish and well worth it.

Hen Party Murder Mystery Night

We just did 'The Jealous Bride' murder mystery for my sister's hen do and it was absolutely brilliant. Steve was very helpful in organising it beforehand and the actors that attended on the night were great. They kept the flow of the murder mystery on track and provided a lot of laughs. We had also organised separate catering to provide dinner alongside it and the actors worked seamlessly with that. A hilarious night that everyone really enjoyed, would highly recommend!

40th Birthday party

I booked this event for my wife’s 40th birthday with a group of friends. There were 10 of us and we were given the king Solomon’s ring story. The event was amazing, the 2 performers that came to run the event were outstanding and really helped smooth running of the evening. Everyone had so much fun and I would highly recommend this company again if this is what your looking for.

Brilliant fun and laughter all night…

Brilliant fun and laughter all night long. Steves a top guy and made organizing the night a stress free event. It was my wife's 40th and since the night I've been told by everyone that attended that it's the most fun they've had. The two actors were very professional and never once broke character, even amongst the drunken laughter.
if I could rate this even higher I would

Great Place To Stay

An amazing place with so many activities, made even better by the snow and landscape! The dinner and entertainment were also brilliant and a great idea for any company/team getaways.

60th Birthday Murder Mystery Dinner

From the moment I enquired Steve was very helpful, this was followed up by the organisation of the evening and the acted presentation being first class, everyone at our dinner was involved in the murder investigation and we all had one of the most fun filled evenings we had ever experienced. I would thoroughly recommend this as a must do experience.

30th birthday Murder Mystery dinner

We used this company for a 30th birthday murder mystery dinner and had an excellent experience. The actors were very engaging and all guests thoroughly enjoyed playing out The Curse of Solomon’s Ring. Steve was our main point of contact and he was attentive and professional - highly recommend using them.

Highly recommend!

Steve was a brilliant help in organising this for my sisters Hen Party, even when people dropped out last minute he had a stress free solution for me, which was exactly what I needed!

The event itself was fantastic, so funny!

Communication was clear prior so we could align with the chef we had booked too.

Thanks for a fab event!

Excellent evening

This is my third time using this company and they have never failed to provide a fun filled evening. The plot was full of twists and turns which caused much hilarity. I am now under pressure to book a fourth one as soon as possible my friends enjoyed it so much. I can throughly recommend Murder mystery meals.

Above and beyond all my high expectations!

Wow what a perfect evening for me and my 16 hens! Steve was great from my initial enquiry in June to the follow up email, answering my many questions and getting various quotes for different hotels and finding us one with spa facilities as requested.
The evening was seamless and the murder mystery totally exceeded my expectations in so many ways. Me and the hens had the best time, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Even the less confident members of the group who were a little nervous managed to throw themselves into their characters and step out of their comfort zones. The actors really helped us out.
I've got so many good things to say from start to finish.
I have always wanted to do a murder mystery, and it was the perfect most memorable evening. It was all that I wished for and more. The actors made sure we got group photos at the end which are amazing. Thank you for the memories!!

We had an absolute blast!!

We had an absolute blast! The whole event was extremely well organised, communication prior to the event was spot on! On the evening of the event I was met by a very lovely lady (one of the actors) she explained how the evening would pan out. The actors were fantastic. I would highly recommend this company to all.

Pat Mabberley’s 80th birthday party.

I have used this Company before at my own house when my Dear husband and I celebrated our 75ths and our 1st wedding anniversary. Everyone loved it and we planned to do it again for our 80th. I sadly lost him but knew that he would want me to go on so I picked to do it in a hotel. The only one available in Taunton was the Castle. The experience was good in that all of my friends and relations had fun dressed the parts and made it a memorable evening.

I did find the Company to be a little distant in that it seemed to be me asking all the questions and there was an element of annoyance when I didn’t actually fully understand something. Please don’t get me wrong It was a good event just a few things that don’t warrant a five star.

The hotel which is, of course, one I know, on the surface was very pleasant. However, I have now discovered that my son has been charged twice for charging his electric car. Also there was a large commotion in the kitchen and shouting and my son’s meal was on the floor. He was then told that he would have to have fish and he could have a drink from the bar, he ordered a red wine they brought it and the credit card machine, he refused it. Then lo and behold some pork arrived, we thought that they had rescued the old bit and revamped it. I have since been told that it was fresh so there he was eating in the middle of the show when every one else had finished. It wasn’t really good enough for what we paid per head.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I am so pleased you and your guests enjoyed the two events we have run for you but very sorry to hear about the problems with the hotel on this occasion. I understand they have refunded you for the meal. Finally, we wish you a very happy 80th birthday.

Great experience

Great experience. All attendees had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend. We felt a little rushed towards the end and trying to decipher the murderer could have been made a bit more fun and interactive.
