Do you fancy a two-hour food, drink and laughter sensation? That's what the Daily Telegraph calls this innovative theatrical experience, a production like no other where you play a starring role. When the audience plays the diners in the ‘Faulty Towers’ restaurant, pretty much anything can happen. And it does. A full two thirds of the show are cleverly improvised, with gags flowing fast from the very offset.
You don't even get to sit down at your table before the funnies start. And they don't stop throughout this fast-paced and incredibly clever two hour comedy tour de force, starring the well-loved Basil, Sybil and Manuel, whose job it is to serve the audience a 1970s-style three course meal, mayhem included.
This internationally acclaimed show was born in Brisbane, Australia, two decades ago, created as a mark of respect for the BBC’s brilliantly funny sitcom written by and starring the wonderful John Cleese and Connie Booth. Hundreds of thousands of people around the world have seen it since then, and the show has developed into something seriously special, enacted by nine teams of actors touring twenty countries a year.
Faulty Towers is in its fourth year in London’s West End, at the Amba Hotel in Charing Cross, and is proud to hold a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence. This is world class comedy, you're right in the thick of it, and you'll end up hysterical with laughter. Great food, great entertainment, an exceptional theatrical experience. What more could you want?

greg London Box Office customer
Exceeded expectations
One of the best things about the show was how the actors integrated the audience into the show. It added so much. Also brought a lot of great memories of the original TV show back. I highly recommend it.
Karen London Box Office customer
Hilarious

Roz London Box Office customer
Laughs galore

Graham London Box Office customer

Angela London Box Office customer
The real thing
The show was really. The food was OK but for the price, a free drink, be a beer, could be included.
Maite London Box Office customer
Never a dull moment entertaining all the way
Great show n entertaining Not sure what happened re our pre order drinks Still had to a up n get it ourselves Acting great Recommend to all
Gerry London Box Office customer
Hilarious
Hilarious well thought out show. A must see
Melanie London Box Office customer
Very Funny and entertaining
From the moment you arrive the scene is set. The actors mingle with the crowd and it is not immediately obvious who they are (which is ideal). The seating of the customers is also very unorganised which is exactly as you would expect. The characters are very similar to the real people and their performances are second to none. There were 9 of us at our table and could not stop laughing throughout the meal. Would highly recommend this to every age group who are looking for a very entertaining evening. If you are fussy about good table food service from Basil, Sybil, Manuel and the other waiters staff this is not for you :-)
Richard London Box Office customer
Brilliant
kevin London Box Office customer
This interactive show was fabulous in every way It was so authentic and the characters spot on More of the signature tune though It’s that music that takes me straight back to the Torquay Guest House
Katy London Box Office customer
Brilliant. So funny. X
Really funny.
Ann-Marie London Box Office customer
A fun lunch
kim London Box Office customer
Full of laughter
We had a great time at the Faulty Towers Dining Experience, it was funny right from the beginning to the end! We were sat on a large table and got to know our fellow diners. The actors were very believable and they recreated lots of chatter from the original series. We felt like part of the show as we were included a few times and Cybil remembered our names and our conversation with her. Manuel was hilarious and Basil was fantastic. Thoroughly recommended.
Susan London Box Office customer
must see!!
Suzanne London Box Office customer
This was brilliant, laughed till I cried, well worth the money and food was delicious. The only fault I would say, is that information given to where to go, dosent tie up with name on the hotel, I just happened to go into hotel to ask if they knew where it was, as we were lost!!! But everyone after us, was comin in asking if they knew where the box office was.
Virginia London Box Office customer
good entertainment
The acting was good. The surroundings not fantastc- the basement of a hotel - didn’t offer much coziness.
Birgitte London Box Office customer
Exceeding expectations
Good food and talented reenactment. Basil nailed it!
Sofia London Box Office customer
Such a laugh
Enjoyed the tv series and thought it was worth a visit. Haven't laughed so much in years. Audience participation can make the show even funnier. The actors had the characters of to a tee. Well worth watching.
Brian London Box Office customer
Very funny
Well worth the £35 each great entertainment whilst eating a very tasty 3 course dinner with some surprises
Tony London Box Office customer
brilliant entertainment
excellent value for money, good food, very funny, very typical Faulty Towers type situations
David London Box Office customer
Great show
Laughed all the way through. Food was good, everyone was friendly.
Susan London Box Office customer
Felt like I really was dining in Fawlty Towers
After watching the show for years I was amazed how realistic the experience was. The room was very plain with five tables of 10 where we had a simple but tasty meal. The only problem was someone had bought a child of about 6 who when the actors included him burst into tears. Most of us where of a certain age and everything was so authentic and the three actors ab libbing was great fun. They included all of us in one way or another and I am so glad we went as was a very funny interactive lunch. They do two shows most days. Definately a must visit if you remember the show and those younger ones watch it on Netflix and go along. Totally entertaining.
Dawn London Box Office customer
Dinner with Basil, Sybil and Manuel
Fun evening with food and a reprise of the well-known Fawlty Towers gags. Well acted, particularly Sybil. Food not bad.
Ranald London Box Office customer
Hilariously fantastic
Nikki London Box Office customer
Laughter
Nice atmosphere, meet other people while you dine. Everybody takes part one way or another in the dining experience which is brilliant. We felt actually we were watching one of the serious as it was so good. My son claimed his jaw hurt of laughing. Brilliant acting and humour.
Rosanna London Box Office customer
very funny show
Very funny show. Worth seeing.
Patricia London Box Office customer
Fun evening with the kids
Saw this dinner theater with my 13 years old twins. The recently watched all the shows and had fun interacting with the actors. We had a hard time finding the venue but glad we did!
SARAH London Box Office customer
Gone back to real humour
Beverley London Box Office customer
Brilliant day out
Really loved the show even though I got thrown out for being a German
George London Box Office customer
A must see if you love Fawlty Towers
Food was very average but it didn't matter. It was more about the experience. Shared tables so you got to meet people from all walks of life.
Susan London Box Office customer
Hilarious
Mike London Box Office customer
mum cried with laughter.
Good fun, but don't go if you like to be challenged. It's extremely simple humour, and no 'story' per se, but wonderful all the same, and the actors were amazing. Very disappointed that I have not had any replies to any of the emails I have sent asking what the photos were being taken for and how I view them (someone ?from the hotel) was taking lots of photos during the performance and I don't know why.
Dawn London Box Office customer
Just like being on TV
12.5% service charge on drinks is steep
Tony London Box Office customer
Great Vintage Clean Fun!! LOL!!
We really did not know what to expect but the food, the "action" and interaction were hillarious - I have not laughed so much for ages! The actors are amazing, they had the characters down to a T which is to their true credit to take on such loved and treasured characters, the original cast are a hard act to follow but these guys did it exceptionally. I want to go again!
Nicola London Box Office customer
It's neither Faulty nor Fawlty
This diner show was a riot and very reminiscent of the sitcom. Basil, Sybil, and Manuel were perfectly played by the actors. Plenty of interaction with the diners but all tastefully done, at least as tasteful as these characters can be. Faulty Towers the Dining Experience: Excellent. Watching Basil tell our 16 year old daughter how to eat properly while calling her Madam: Priceless! Don't believe the review about the service being bad. That is the damned point! If the service were good it wouldn't be Fawlty Towers!
Ronald London Box Office customer
Very entertaining, great night out
Dawn London Box Office customer
Creative
From the moment we walked in the experience started. All the actors were excellent in their roles. I would highly recommend this experience to all, even if you have never watched Faulty Towers. The overall performance and food was sublime.
Mark London Box Office customer
Great fun
Susan London Box Office customer
I have not laughed so much in a long time. However the food was disappointing
Mark London Box Office customer
brillant show very funny
MARTYN London Box Office customer
Great alternative to a theatre show
Fun evening, something different for people that appreciate Fawlty Towers!
Paula London Box Office customer
Great night out
This was a great night, laughed from the time we sat down to dinner till the time we left. The actors were so true to character that you felt you were the dinners in the original to show. Manuel was amazing. Highly recommended.
Beverley London Box Office customer
Very very funny
Pauline London Box Office customer
A must see
Amazing! A unque experience. The actors are very talented, tackled every unscripted senario seemlessly and professionally.
Naveed London Box Office customer
Mad
Excellent entertainment a laugh a minute, sketches performed were in keeping with the TV series, don't wear light clothes just in case a roll drops in your soup.
Tudor London Box Office customer
absoulutely amazing in every way
We all absolutely loved the show, we was mixed ages young to old, and believe me we didnt stop laughing through the whole of the show, no one was left out, and if we blinked we would have missed something, from Basils bar onwards... I would definately want to go again and would recommend this show to anyone and everyone who ever knew and watched the faulty towers shows....
Angela London Box Office customer
feel good laughter throughout
Not a theatre show. Acting based around a dining experience therefore music not applicable. A very enjoyable experience and very funny.
Diane London Box Office customer
Best night out in years!
What a brilliant evening! My family can't say enough good things about how much they enjoyed the evening! A brilliant experience, we laughed so much! Just the right size, a small and intimate number of diners meaning that you really are immersed in the entertainment! Thank you!
Cheryl London Box Office customer
FAULTY TOWERS REVIEW
Excellent show,Actors carried off the characters they played extremely well. Wouldnot hnesitate in pointing other people towards this show for 2 hours of good fun.
ADRIAN London Box Office customer
Fantastic fun
From the moment we arrived we were entertained by the cast, throughout the whole experience Basil, Cybil and Manwell were fantastic they acted it out brilliantly, will definitely tell friends and family to go and do.
Anita London Box Office customer
Hysterical
peter London Box Office customer
A fun filled evening!
A really fun evening with lots of laughs. The storyline and actors were great! A must see!
Victoria London Box Office customer
Good knockabout stuff
Very pleasing blend of set pieces from the Fawlty Towers series and ad hoc comedy as Basil, Sybil and Manuel roam the large dining room during an otherwise normal large scale dinner service.
Stephen London Box Office customer
Hilarious interactive evening for FT fans!
Very entertaining, the actors were fantastic at involving everyone and ensuring a thoroughly entertaining evening. The food is quite average but the show was wonderful.
Rachael London Box Office customer
So funny
From meeting up in the bar and being taken to your table the laughter starts. All 3 of the actors were superb and visited all of the tables making sure everyone took part. They had audience members giving the bread and butter out but no one was ridiculed it was just hilarious.
Alison London Box Office customer
Great fun
Great fun with the cast excellent, however we would have like to have seen The Major - very interactive and enjoyable
Janice London Box Office customer
Awesome Fun Entertainment
Awesome fun entertainment for Faulty Towers Fans or for anyone born during this era. Very recommend this is my second time and great for a birthday surprise
Sergio London Box Office customer
Disappointing
Having seen the show at the Adelaide festival last year we were really looking forward to taking my brother and sister in law this year to see it as a Christmas present. The venue was too large with too many guests to be able to see and hear what was going on. The room was also very cold. The food was very poor. Several of us on the table were unable to drink the soup as it was farr too salty. Initially I thought this was part of the action but sadly it was just awful soup.. I felt disappointed and embarrassed to have taken my guests and would certainly not recommend
David London Box Office customer
Entertaining evening
Great evening out. The acting was great. The food was plain, but very well done.
Ursula London Box Office customer
good fun
During show you are seated on large round tables with other guests which my grown up children were not keen on. Its good idea but wish actors had invented different story/script rather than copying the old sketches from tv show. This meant you are comparing the two the whole time. Thought there may be more characters brought in eg Polly , major, other guests ...
joanne London Box Office customer
A magic anniversary treat
The actors really went out of their way to make our night special. A Hand Full of Harmonies singing group was there and sang our wedding song - magical
Grainne London Box Office customer
Hillarious .... like being in an episode!
Brilliant experience .... very very funny .... food suprisingly good as well
Billy London Box Office customer
This was hilarious from start to finish. A great depiction of the real characters from Faulty Towers. The energy in the room was amazing and the ad- libbing fantastic. The food was very passable too and we had a most memorable night out.
elizabeth London Box Office customer
Such a fun evening
A must if you're in London...thoroughly enjoyed! Food a bit like school dinners but then I think its meant to be?
BRUCE London Box Office customer
Perfect to a Fawlt
Serious comedy. Feel good factor on overdrive. The cast were effortless in recapturing the essence of Fawlty Towers. A perfect elegant setting. From the pre-drinks to final curtain everyone was involved and taken along on the Basil, Cybil and Manuel magic carpet.
Mike London Box Office customer
Must see
Fabulous show enjoyed by all. Audience participation was very well executed and really added substance to the overall experience. Small and intimate venue which again added to the whole experience. Highly recommend to anyone who is familiar with Faulty Towers. 5 * and a big thumbs up.
Hayley London Box Office customer
Extremely entertaining
If you like Faulty Towers you will absolutely adore this show. Lots of audience participation and haven't laughed so much and for so long in ages. Our party of 8 ranging from 63 - 30 all gave it 10/10. Music & lighting review not applicable.
Elke London Box Office customer
Well worth the money. Would highly recommend!
lee London Box Office customer
One of best night of this year!
Satoshi London Box Office customer
Completely Amazing
I'd seen quite a bit of Fawlty Towers, and was pleasantly surprised to see there was a show based on it. Naturally, I decided to go see it, and I was certainly not disappointed! From start to finish, laughter abounded. I was also amused to find that when I spoke Norwegian, I was replied to in the same language, just as Basil Fawlty would've done if he knew the language. It was an absolutely brilliant show, and I'm definitely recommending it to everyone with a taste for British slap-stick and silliness.
Hanne London Box Office customer
Simply Fawltastic!!
A must see... such a great way to enjoy a meal!!
Chris London Box Office customer
HILLARIOUS
Crazy from start to finish. Went on first night in London what a great introduction.
Rick London Box Office customer
He's From Barcelona. They are from Torquay
The food isn't brilliant, but the fawlty towers sketches & performance by the "lookalikes" were very enjoyable and amusing.
Malcolm London Box Office customer
Great fun!
Laura London Box Office customer
Entertaining
Very well done show with the bonus of a good dinner. The actors are very professional, funny and with such an interactive show, they adapt well to the different audiences. If you're a Faulty fan or even just a part-fan, this is a really great night out.
Amanda London Box Office customer
Great Comedy & Food
This was a fun interactive comedy. I had never seen the series, but thoroughly enjoyed the dinner and show
Kim London Box Office customer
Hilarious
Catherine London Box Office customer
Laugh a minute
If you don't enjoy a laugh and good old fashioned slap stick this is not the show for you. It was hilarious from the moment it started to the end. The Actors engaged with everyone and were brilliant at their parts. The food was ok but the show made up for any shortfall on that side of it.
Phillipa London Box Office customer
Just like the series - only better!
True to the series - captures all the best moments and more - with full guest interaction. Highly recommended
Keith London Box Office customer
Loads of fun! really recommend!
Fun from beginning to end
Julienne London Box Office customer
Very entertaining from start to finish
We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, it was a very good version of the original comedy, very funny and lots of interaction with the guests. Only dislike was the main course, I'm a vegetarian and found the pasta to be rubbery and bland, however the desert was amazing. Very cost effective and worthwhile, have recommended to friends who are looking forward to booking it.
Balbinder London Box Office customer
Food
The food could have been better especially the main not enough for a man and quite bland
Evelyn London Box Office customer
It was a must see
There was nothing to dislike about this show. Such a different dining experience. The characters were portrayed brilliantly. When we sat in the room opposite Basils Bar we thought where on earth is everyone going to sit but it all fell into place. Wonderful evening
Lynne London Box Office customer
A good throwback with a good cast, and good food.
Mood London Box Office customer
Laughed so much my face hurt
Apart from a mishap with the booking where they had us down for 20 tickets, instead of 2, we could not fault the evening. The actors were outstanding. They had the accents and mannerisms spot on. We didn't stop laughing the whole time. They used a lot of the storylines from the series including the German walk and the Betting Slip mixup. There was a lot of audience participation and everyone was up for a laugh. A night to remember. Would go again.
Joanna London Box Office customer
Fun evening if you're a Basil fan
Anita London Box Office customer
Hilarious
debbie London Box Office customer
A must for any fan
Fantastically funny show. The actors were spot-on. Even friends who were not fans of the TV show (with a quick review by me) got the premise and laughed heartily. I was even surprised by the food--a very good meal. Fans of the show will instantly recognize some of the famous bits from some of the best episodes. Money well-spent!
Paul London Box Office customer
A fun evening
We enjoyed the 'Fawlty Towers Dining Experience' evenning. It was well done and lived up to expectations. On reflection it was an expensive evening given the food on offer and the costs of the drinks.
James London Box Office customer
Entertaining
Gina London Box Office customer
Fantastically funny
Did not stop laughing from start to finish Food was also surprisingly good for a dinner show Characters were also spot on
Ann London Box Office customer
Great evening
David London Box Office customer
A unique experience
Be prepared for an experience unlike any other. You'll be on edge the whole time, you'll be possibly insulted and manhandled but this is the archetypal experience for any Fawlty Towers fan. Worth the terrible starter and main, so be sure to order a pizza after! Great day.
Igor London Box Office customer
Wonderfully entertaining, recommend to anyone who remembers the series
Four of us went to this experience and we ALL thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We ended up being seated in the middle of the room hence we were 'picked on' a fair amount. The actors were spot on in their performance of the character's they were playing. We enjoyed all our favourite scenes and phrases. Highly recommend (oh and the food was OK!)
Dez London Box Office customer
Very very funny!
The show was very funny, acting and story lines both excellent! Only one negative.... The food on our table was brought out at completely different times. My starter came when the rest of our table's was being cleared away! Then with the main my Dad and person sitting next to him were given theirs 20mins after the rest of table. They should have served table by table not by random people. But show was great! Would highly recommend it.
Emma London Box Office customer
