CULINARY FLAIR AT FAULTY
TOWERS THE DINING EXPERIENCE
The mayhem in the dining room is as
chaotic as ever, but behind the scenes at
the President Hotel in London, things
have never been more precise.
Acclaimed chef Jonathan Bradley has
joined the team at Faulty Towers The
Dining Experience as the new Head Chef
at the President Hotel, ushering in a
refined new chapter for the show’s
much-loved three-course dining
experience. As the immersive comedy
phenomenon continues its recordbreaking London run, the appointment
signals an exciting evolution in the food
and beverage offer at the heart of the
production.
While Basil may bark, Sybil may glare
and Manuel may misunderstand the
order entirely, guests can now expect a
menu crafted with elevated technique,
seasonal awareness and a focus on
flavour-led British classics. During the
performance, diners are served a threecourse meal while actors portraying
Basil, Sybil, and Manuel navigate
through the evening with their signature
comedic chaos.
Devised by Alison Pollard-Mansergh,
Andrew Foreman and others, Faulty
Towers The Dining Experience has
hosted residencies in the UK and
internationally since 2008, appearing in
43 countries and welcoming over a
million guests. A loving tribute to the
BBC’s legendary sitcom, the show is
highly improvised and totally immersive
– offering diners a seat at the most
infamous hotel restaurant in British
comedy history. faultytowersdining.com
