London: Faulty Towers Dining Show & 3-Course Meal

Summary

London immersive comedy dining show with classic British sitcom chaos and a three-course meal

You’ll step right into the world of Faulty Towers at this London dining experience, sharing laughs with Basil, Sybil, and Manuel as they serve up chaos alongside a retro three-course meal. Expect unpredictable comedy, interactive moments with the cast, and plenty of surprises throughout your two-hour show — all just steps from Russell Square station.

What’s the experience like?

It started with a clatter — someone dropped a spoon, or maybe it was on purpose? The lobby at the President Hotel felt like it was holding its breath, and then Basil appeared, striding past us with that look (you know the one). I’d barely had time to adjust my napkin before Sybil swept by, hair perfect and voice sharp as ever. Manuel tried to offer me bread but somehow ended up apologizing in three languages. I didn’t expect to be giggling before we even sat down.

The Faulty Towers Dining Experience in London isn’t really like any other dinner show I’ve done. It’s more like being dropped right into the middle of an episode — except you’re not just watching, you’re part of their madness. The actors never let up; they improvise around every little thing. At one point Basil asked if my soup was “as bland as my marriage,” and honestly, I almost choked (in a good way). The food itself is proper 1970s British — think prawn cocktail and roast chicken — but it’s the service that steals the show. Or sabotages it? Hard to tell sometimes.

I kept catching myself glancing around for hidden cameras. There were moments when the whole room just dissolved into laughter — that kind where you catch someone else’s eye across the table and you both can’t stop grinning. Our table neighbors from Manchester said they’d seen it twice already; apparently Manuel once hid under their table for ten minutes straight. You get your three-course lunch or dinner included (ours was lunch), but honestly, I barely remember dessert because Sybil was marching around threatening to “call the manager.”

By the end, I realized I’d forgotten about everything outside Russell Square station — no small feat in central London. Walking out into the city noise after two hours of Faulty Towers mayhem felt weirdly quiet. I still think about Basil’s face when he tried to serve coffee without spilling it everywhere… some things just stick with you.
