Are you ready for a spooktacular evening filled with mystery and delicious food? Look no further than the upcoming Murder Mystery Night at the House of Marbles, hosted in collaboration with the Moonstone Theatre Company. This Halloween Dinner Event promises to be a thrilling experience like no other, where guests will be transported into a world of intrigue and deception. Get your detective hats on and prepare for a night of twists and turns!
A Hauntingly Delicious Evening of Intrigue
Gather round, ghost hunters and gourmet ghouls, because we’ve got a bone-chilling treat in store for you this autumn at The Pottery By Night. The leaves are falling, the air is crisp and it’s time to dive into the mysterious and delicious world of “Halloween Murder” at House of Marbles, ingeniously devised by the Moonstone Theatre Company. This isn’t just any run-of-the-mill supper soirée; oh no, it’s a grand gathering where secrets lurk in every shadow, and each course could be a clue or a red herring.
Our Pottery By Night restaurant will transform into a haven for the haunted and the hunters alike, as we serve up a Murder Mystery Night with a Halloween twist so twisty, it’ll make a corkscrew look straight. Our tale begins with five strangers, a medium (Madame L’Estrange) and an evening shrouded in mystery. With a plot thicker than our chef’s famed gravy, you’ll find yourself navigating through a maze of intrigue, deception and divine dining.
We dare you to join us for a night where the spirits are not just in the glass, but might be hovering over your shoulder, whispering secrets of the past. It’s a perfect concoction of eerie entertainment paired with a culinary adventure that will tantalise the taste buds as much as the tale tickles the spine.
So, if you fancy yourself a bit of a sleuth or simply relish the chance to dine with a side of drama, this is your call to arms. Or should we say, call to charms? After all, in a setting where the supernatural meets the super delicious, who knows what mysteries you’ll unravel? Just remember, in a game of ghosts and guests, the stakes are as high as the spirits. Let’s make this Halloween one for the haunted history books, shall we?
Exorcising Our Fright with a Tempting Menu
Prepare yourselves, brave souls and hungry hearts, for an ethereal culinary journey that promises to bewitch your palate and intrigue your senses. Our cauldrons – ahem, kitchens – have been abuzz with otherworldly activity, crafting a Murder Mystery menu so tantalising, it might just raise the dead. As you venture through the evening, each dish will serve as a clue, enshrouded in mystery and marinated in suspense.
Starting with an eerie elixir to set the tone, our chefs have conjured up starters that are nothing short of spectral. Imagine Roasted Red Onion & Pumpkin Salad that whispers autumn secrets, Pulled Ham Bruschetta that echoes the crunch of fallen leaves underfoot, and Beetroot & Vodka Gravadlax that swims in the murky waters of your imagination.
But hold onto your hats – er, broomsticks – as the main course looms like a shadow in the fog. Will it be the Chicken Kiev with its secrets cloaked in crumbs, the Beef Bourguignon steeped in dark, rich mysteries, or perhaps the Baked Cod, wrapped in the enigma of the sea? Each choice is a pathway deeper into the heart of our tale, accompanied by sides that will comfort the soul as the plot thickens.
And fear not, for pudding awaits to sweeten the night’s eerie endeavours. Whether it be the seductive Chocolate & Rum Mousse, the bewitching Pumpkin Pie, or the enigmatic West Country Cheeses, each bite is a step closer to unravelling the evening’s mystery.
So, don your capes and ready your forks; our table is set for an otherworldly experience where each course is a chapter in our Halloween story. Let the feast begin!
Eerie Elegance: Kick Off with Cocktails and Starters!
Alright, you spooky lot, let’s get the phantom party started with a bang – or should we say, a boo? Upon your eerie arrival, we’ll be dishing out a spine-tingling cocktail that’s guaranteed to lift your spirits – and possibly rouse a few others lurking in the shadows. After you’ve had a sip (or gulp, no judgement here) of our spectral speciality, brace yourselves for a starter spread that’s bound to have the goblins gossiping.
Choose from our Roasted Red Onion & Pumpkin Salad, that’s as enchanting as a witch’s brew; our Pulled Ham Bruschetta, that crunches louder than a skeleton dancing on fallen leaves; or dive into the deep with our Beetroot & Vodka Gravadlax, a dish that’s as mysterious as the depths from which it came. Each choice is a gastronomic ghost story in itself, setting the tone for an evening where every bite tells a tale, every flavour hides a secret, and every dish is a deliciously devilish delight.
So, gather round the table, you wonderful witches and wizards, for a starter course that promises more twists and turns than a haunted maze. It’s the perfect prelude to an evening where the only thing to expect is the unexpected. Let’s kick off this supernatural soirée with a flourish – and remember, it’s not just about the food, it’s about the frights and fun that accompany every forkful!
Spellbinding Mains: A Culinary Conjuring
Dive into the enchanting heart of our soirée with a main course that’s sure to cast a spell over your taste buds. Our culinary wizards have been stirring the pot, figuratively and literally, to bring you a selection of dishes so mesmerising, you’ll swear they’ve been touched by magic. Whether you fancy the Chicken Kiev, with its delectable secrets wrapped in a crispy coat, the Beef Bourguignon, which bubbles with mysteries as deep as its flavours, the Baked Cod enrobed in the mystery of the sea with its nori wrap, or the Wild Mushroom Ragu, a spellbinding concoction served on a bed of polenta – there’s a potion for every palate.
And let’s not forget about the sides – these aren’t your average accompaniments. Each dish is accompanied by a supporting cast of vegetables and potatoes, conjured to complement the main act, ensuring your plate is as balanced as it is enchanting.
So, ready your forks and prepare to embark on a culinary journey so enthralling, it might just leave you wondering whether there was a touch of wizardry involved. But be warned, with flavours this rich and satisfying, you might find yourself under the spell of the House of Marbles’ kitchen long after the mystery has been solved.
Sweet Spells: Desserts to Delight
Prepare to end your supernatural soirée on a high note, my ghastly gourmands, as we unveil a dessert selection so sinfully sweet, it could wake the dead. Forget the vanilla – unless it’s accompanying our decadent Chocolate & Rum Mousse, a concoction so devilishly delightful, it might just bewitch your taste buds. Or perhaps the allure of our Pumpkin Pie, with its spiced cream, whispers your name like a spectre in the night – a true autumnal enchantment on a plate. And for those who prefer a savoury spell to conclude their feast, our West Country Cheeses, paired with crackers and chutney, are ready to cast a culinary charm that’s nothing short of magical.
No tricks here, just a treat-filled finale that promises to keep the spirits – both the ethereal and the uplifted variety – soaring high. Each bite a farewell hug from the other side, ensuring the memory of this night lingers like a friendly ghost long after the plates are cleared. So, as we tread into the twilight of our eerie evening, let’s savour these final morsels of mystery and delight. Who knows? They might just be the key to solving our ghoulishly gripping tale.
