Fine-dining evening with a talk by crime historian Adam Wood and chef Sarah Jenkins of Host Dining, pairing a luxury menu with a notorious historic murder.
Crime & Dine returns to Nineteen 58 on Tuesday 10 November, with crime historian Adam Wood and chef Sarah Jenkins of Host Dining Coventry taking the lead. It's a night where crime history meets luxury cuisine, and the format is simple: a fine dining menu paired with a talk about a notorious historic murder. The two run alongside each other, so you're eating and listening at the same time.
Adam Wood is a Warwickshire author and crime historian who's written several books and founded the historic crime magazine Crime Through Time. He's also a regular documentary consultant for television, including Netflix's Unsolved Mysteries, so he knows his way around a cold case. Sarah Jenkins runs the private catering company Host Dining and brings more than 20 years of culinary experience to the table; she's currently head chef at Gonzo on Earlsdon High Street, so the food is handled by someone who knows the local scene as well as the kitchen.

It's a long evening, so clear your schedule. It starts at 6pm, with food served from 6.30pm, and runs for about three hours. Tickets were £42.50 per person, with an optional £25 drinks package that included a welcome glass of prosecco or a non-alcoholic equivalent and two glasses of wine. The event is sold out, but it's worth keeping an eye on the series if you're into the combination of a good meal and a dark bit of history.
