An immersive, delightful dinner theatre experience that was well-choreographed and faultless in its execution. We were left with aching cheeks from the laughter, full bellies from the generous proportions of an authentic 1970's hotel meal, and bonhomie from the familiarity of the characters, their jokes, and the interactive nature of a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

What a fantastic experience, we laughed from start to finish, typical 70’s slapstick. The characters were spot on & hilarious. The interaction with people was done so well & all taken in good humour. The menu looked basic but it was delicious, half of a chicken was cooked perfectly & served on hot plates 👍 Really enjoyed this & would recommend 👏🏻

We went to the dinner show at the President Hotel in London. What we expected was to have an ordinary dinner with some actors walking about, but what we got was so much better. The very talented actors were splendid and we were immersed in what almost felt like being among the original cast of the TV show. We (a couple) were seated at a round table with other guests. They made the table for 2 people too many, which felt extremely cramped, but that was all part of the show. Basil came to the table saying 'nobody sitting here? Alright!' and ripped the extra chairs away. Being seated with strangers (who were all very nice) is all part of the experience of feeling a bit uncomfortable (in the beginning) in Hotel Faulty Towers. But in the end that actually gave it so much extra. The cast interaction with the guests was extremely funny and we were treated with some of the greatest jokes from the original show, nicely woven into a tailored story line. We didn't expect much from the food itself (we went for the show mostly), but it was surprisingly good! Definitely go there, you'll have a great evening.

You book this experience to relive the classic Fawlty Towers moments we all know and love from the 1970s and its many hilarious reruns on UK Gold. The acting is superb, the food is decent, and we were laughing from start to finish. The audience interaction is fantastic, delivering that unmistakable, good old British humour just as it used to be. The only thing worth mentioning is the rather unusual ending. The performance concluded with the actors setting off a fire extinguisher and abruptly leaving, which left us unsure whether it was truly the end—especially as dessert hadn’t even been served!

Acting was fun but very very shouty! Sybil was overshadowed by Basil & Manuel. The food however was appalling. I think they have cheek charging for it, the chef should be fired. My advice? Have a nice meal before going, then you can pick at your food and it won't matter. Dessert still hadn't been served at 10.

We’ve been to 2 of these now - the second one was at the Baskerville Hall in Clyro. The entertainment is really good, but I don’t think we would go to a third because obviously they’re using the same script (although much of it is improvised so that keeps it fresh).. but it’s the food that puts me off now At the first venue we had a two choices of starters, main, and pud from the menu, on this occasion, we had no choices at all!? I’m afraid that the main course just wasn’t up to par and although I guess the emphasis isn’t on the food, I still feel that for our money it should be better. At the first occasion near Swansea, we had vol-au-vents and cheese/pineapple plus sausages on cocktail sticks which was a really nice start and the venue was amazing. On this occasion there was no such entree to the evening and although the soup starter was okay and the pudding was actually nice the main course - which was breast of chicken in some kind of thin milky creamy sauce with VERY underdone vegetables and just big new potatoes with no butter or anything interesting was just not up to scratch and none of us enjoyed it at the entire table of eight! They would probably argue that this was 1970s basic food but even in the 1970s they had decent creamy sauces and roasted potatoes?!! I know - I was there!! The venue desperately needs updating everywhere. The ladies toilet were a massive disappointment and you can’t even argue that that was 1970s because that felt more like 1950s! Top marks to the cast though and Cybil had the most perfect laugh just like the original!

Way exceeded my expectations. Fantastic performance from the actors who did a great job interacting with every table. It was so funny our cheeks were aching. As soon as it was over I was contacting friends to recommend it. Well worth the money.

What an experience! 10/10 from start to finish. The actors got the nuances of the characters spot on, even the voices were insanely good. A brilliantly delivered alternative dining experience that will make you laugh out loud! Food was very 70's basic but tasty and fit the whole experience perfectly!
