Premium Comedy Murder Mystery Evening with Three Course Dinner

Premium Comedy Murder Mystery Evening with Three Course Dinner is at Hook in Reading on Thursday 29 October, a whodunnit set in the 1920s that runs for around three hours and comes with a three-course dinner for two.

The evening is performed by professional actors who lean into the period detail, from the dialogue to the shadowy setting. There's a cast of eccentric suspects to work through, and a detective whose dry wit keeps the drama grounded. Rich Lewis called it 'a delightfully atmospheric whodunnit that captures the smoky elegance of the 1920s perfectly'. The dinner is served alongside the show, so you're eating through the mystery rather than having one after the other.

It's sold as a gift voucher rather than a dated ticket, which changes how you book it. The voucher is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase, and the recipient chooses their own date within that year. The experience is offered at three locations across the UK, so it's not just a one-off Reading thing. The show runs on selected Fridays, with occasional Saturdays, throughout the year, and you'll need to book at least four weeks in advance.

It costs £179 for two people, which covers both the murder mystery and the three-course dinner.
