    Unfortunately, this experience was a bit disappointing. The idea is brilliant but the implementation leaves much to be desired. The theatre part was really well made and the actors were great! Unfortunately, the food was not good value for money. The food was promoted to be the main part of this immersive experience as the chef is famous, therefore, my expectations were really high. Unfortunately, the first course, which was not a real course as it had the size of a spoon, was mashed parsnip and not what was on the menue. The second course was only (!!) grilled leek which was kind of boring and most guests returned a full plate. The main course was my main disappointment as I had the fried broccoli which was completely burnt! It was literally black and because apparently it was made with Nori and Miso, I realised it when the woman next to me cut hers and it was green inside. Her husband had a burnt one too, though. They didn't have enough food to provide me with another plate but they gave us complimentary drinks in order to make up for this insufficient quality. The dessert was nice but considering the money that was spent on the course meal, I left the venue really disappointed and wouldn't recommend going.

    Entertaining story line, acting and script. Setting was cool but could have been made more realistic if the train didnt travel over water with dolphins jumping around on the screens! Food however was sadly somewhat disappointing - no one seemed to enjoy the starter. Vegan main was average (fried broccoli fritter and mushrooms with a sauce in simple words). Dessert was good. I dont consider the palate cleanser (one spoon of sour tomato) a separate course. Another thing was we shared a table with four other people (6 total) and I didnt get to sit next to my husband - sat opposite him and with the large table and wide seat, it meant we were both leaning forward instead of resting on backrest to have a conversation. For £74/ticket peak weekday night, we expected more.

    A fun night out! The food is pretty good, portions are a bit small. The atmosphere is fab! Most people did not dress in costumes but a couple did. The show was very funny and entertaining. Tables seat 6 so it's good for groups. Couples will be seated with others. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The bar has a nice selection of drinks and cocktails. It only takes a couple of hours so you can easily combine it with something else. I definitely recommend for a fun night out! Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible. There was a guest there in the night who was in a wheelchair and they were able to accommodate easily

    A thoroughly enjoyable unique experience sitting on a mocked up old fashioned train. Great food, great murder mystery entertainment, quite funny at times. I would recommend this place for a visit.
