The Murdér Express is back... with a vengeance.
Something sinister is brewing in the Pedley Street railway arches.
Last year we took a trip on the maiden voyage of this train-based supperclub and had a great time knocking back champagne coupes and canapés as the murders stacked up around us.
This year sees the sequel roll into town: Jewel of the Empire promises an evening of fine dining, high glamour and dark deeds. Some of the same characters are back, along with a host of new ones: Soviet femme fatales, intensely-Gallic detectives, boozed-up archeologists, and the star of the show — the world's largest cut diamond.
FYI: there's an outside chance the diamond's cursed.
The attention to 1930s detail is impressive, the food (the work of Masterchef: The Professionals winner Laurence Henry) is suitably swish, if on the small side, and the train-luxe setting is hitting a lot of our minibreak-on-the-Orient-Express fantasies.
Beats an egg and cress sandwich and a few tinnies on the South Western...
