Secrets at the Table

Secrets at the Table is the new dining experience at Windmill Village Hotel, Golf Club & Spa in Allesley, and it's running on several dates through the autumn and winter. The next one is Saturday 31 October, but there are plenty more to choose from if that doesn't suit: 9, 17, and 23 October, then 6, 14, 20, and 28 November, and 4, 5, 11, and 12 December. Each evening runs from 5.30pm to around 10pm.

The whole thing takes place in the hotel's Loft 18 restaurant, in a private dining room. A professional actor hosts the night and guides the group through a game of mystery, deception and suspense that plays out across a three-course dinner. Every guest is assigned a role, but not everyone can be trusted. The evening blends team-based challenges, secret decisions, exiles, murders and dramatic reveals, and eliminated players can potentially return in a new role.

The menu comes from Loft 18, and they can cater for dietary requirements. Numbers are kept small, with a maximum of 12 guests per date and a minimum of eight players for the game to run. It's pitched as a date night, a girls' night out or something different for friends, and an overnight stay adds breakfast and access to the leisure facilities.

It's £90 per person, or £140 per person with an overnight stay based on two people sharing a room. The next date is Saturday 31 October, from 5.30pm to around 10pm at Windmill Village Hotel, Golf Club & Spa, Allesley, Coventry, CV5 9AL.
