Company details

  1. Corporate entertainment service

Written by the company

The Murder Mystery Meals Company have been in business since 1996 offering fun Murder Mystery evenings and weekends. We run over 450 events a year and offer a nationwide service. We can organise a venue for you or we can come to your home, a holiday cottage, office, hall, hotel. We are completely flexible. With our smaller events up to 35 guests with two actors we can offer an event where you all get a character and one of you is Murderer!! We do not tell the Murderer who they are so we don't spoil it for one person having to keep a secret. You all follow the clues and think "Do you know what, it might be me!!" For larger events for up to 140 people we will still try to involve some of the guests as characters alongside our 5 actors. All of our events provide a fun filled evening that you will be talking about for days.

Great experience, would recommend

We had a really well organised murder mystery meal and the actors were brilliant. In the build up we had lots of helpful advice and it was easy to set up. On the day the actors arrived early so they could set up and the experience was brilliant. They got everyone involved and we had a great time!

Murder mystery hen party!

We booked Murder Mystery meals for my sisters hen party and it was absolutely amazing!! The mix of characters was great and everyone really went to town on their costumes/getting into character. Our two actors, Freya and Chris were wonderful and funny and kept the story moving in good time. I would 100% recommend booking!

Sister hen weekend

We have just got back from my sister’s hen weekend and wow what a great night we had! Everyone got into character and it went so smoothly would highly recommend it, the company was amazing any questions I had they replied immediately and even the very last min change on the day wasn’t a problem at all. It was the first murder mystery we had ever done and would 100% rebook again we all had such a laugh from the minute it started.

Unforgettable fun!!

I used Murder Mystery Meals for my hen weekend, and I honestly can't recommend them enough! From start to finish, the experience was absolutely fantastic.

The actors were incredible — hilarious, engaging, and so quick-witted! They really brought the story to life and had everyone laughing and getting involved, even those who were a bit shy at the start. It created such a fun, relaxed atmosphere and made the evening one of the true highlights of the whole weekend.

Steve was a dream to work with in coordinating everything. He was flexible and accommodating, even adjusting the timings on the night to fit around our catering schedule, which made everything run so smoothly.

If you're looking for something unique, interactive, and memorable for your event, I wholeheartedly recommend Murder Mystery Meals. It’s an experience my friends and I will be talking (and laughing!) about for a long time!

Thank you again for helping to make my hen weekend so special!

Couldn’t recommend them enough

Couldn’t recommend them enough! The whole experience was brilliant from start to finish. Everyone had so much fun, laughed non-stop and fully got into their characters. They worked perfectly with our private chef so the timing of each act flowed effortlessly between courses. It was so well organised, interactive and hilarious — every single person said how much they loved it and we all enjoyed every second!

Very fun experience

We had fantastic and very fun evening. We did the Solomon Ring theme with 19 guests. The actors were very professional, accommodating to our needs, and brought great energy to the evening. The whole process with Steve was very clear and simple. I highly recommend.

This was such a good night

This was such a good night.
The letters, characters and lead up was great as Steve was quick to reply, answered all my questions and was really helpful.
On the night the actors were so patient and joined in with our tempo so well.
Not having to think about anything on the night was amazing!

I used to be an actor that worked for…

I used to be an actor that worked for this company along with my partner, we had fantastic reviews and worked all over the midlands for a couple of years - unfortunately, my partner was ill one evening (she ended up in hospital) and rather than let the Hen party down I went along and did the evening by myself - which was stressful but enjoyable.

Steve then refused to pay my full invoice saying we'd let him down and gave me half! Really? The actors only get basic travel money and £80.

If you want a decent company which pays actors fairly look elsewhere...

Regarding the reply sent by MMMC. Nice try Steve. Please don't insult my intelligence (or your audience's) by trying to apportion blame onto another company! Yes it was your company! Yes you didn't pay me my fee!

If you like I can reveal who the murderer is on your 'Jealous Bride' plot to your audience? - Do you really think I would give out my real name for you to then discredit me?

Also it's very interesting that you've nothing to say about the lousy wage you're clearly still paying your actors...

I think you have written this review in error. We have checked through all of the jobs over the last 29 years and cannot find one where you have worked for us. We have aIso checked our Actors database and you are not in there. I think you must have the wrong Company. There are a lot of Murder Mystery Companies out there with similar names. We are based in Suffolk if that helps you at all to identify the Company you are referring to.

Where the situation arises where one Actor is unable to attend, which is very rare, maybe one in every 500 events, we pay the other Actor double their fee as they are having to do all of the work

I would be very grateful if you could remove the review as we depend on Trustpilot to support our business.

If you still believe it is us then please do call me on 01440 900500 so we can try to resolve this matter. I have tried to look you up on all of the major casting sites but cannot find an Actor under your name.
