Ten popular dining experiences to enjoy with your loved ones
The best dining experience is often one that comes with the most unforgettable memories with your most loved family and friends. These are memories we want to treasure as a keepsake no matter how far we travel to get them. When visiting different places, whether that is the hustle and bustle of a new cosmopolitan city or relaxing in the tranquillity of the countryside, experimenting with new food is a must. Discovering new dining places reflect the overall trip and is a great conversation starter!
Here are some of the most delicious food experiences you will want to try.
1. Faulty Towers The Dining Experience

This internationally acclaimed show is the world’s longest-running and most successful tribute to the BBC’s iconic sitcom, and it has been a London West End staple since 2012.
When the audience become diners in the ‘Faulty Towers’ restaurant, pretty much anything can happen – because 70% of the show is improvised.
Developed with a skilful blend of improvisation, artful scripting and tasty food, it is an unmissable experience. Broadway Baby reviewed the dining experience as ‘outrageously funny’ and What’s On Stage described it as ‘fantastic’.
