If you take Cluedo a little too seriously, this immersive dinner could be the next best activity date for you. I went along to The Perfect Bite experience, with tantalising drama and a murder to be solved
Ever fancied yourself as Sherlock Holmes or Benoit Blanc? Or maybe you watched the Knives Out films and thought you’d love to be involved in a whodunnit investigation? Either way, if you’re looking to add a little more bite to your usual romantic dinner, The Perfect Bite could be the next best dinner date idea.
The Perfect Bite – hosted at Gaucho, City of London – adds a tantalising twist to your standard meal, serving up an evening of entertainment while you enjoy your steak and chips. By attending this limited time event, you’re signing yourself up to a delicious four-course meal but you’ll have to work for it, as you attempt to solve a twist-filled murder mystery, led by detective Logan Locke.

I have to say I wasn’t expecting the level of suspense while enjoying my meal. Couples were embroiled in full blow arguments, suspects had breakdowns as we questioned them over their involvement and double lives were exposed. I worked alongside three other guests to find clues between courses, and watch the drama unfold as suspects revealed their true colours as the plot thickened.
The Perfect Bite serves as an ideal immersive experience for a group of friends or as an exciting change to your usual date night. I left Gaucho feeling fulfilled, not only had I enjoyed a tasty meal, but I’d also solved a murder and had a decent dose of drama to go and tell my friends about.
The Perfect Bite is inspired by Netflix’s Knives Out, which is set for a third instalment. Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery sees Daniel Craig reprising his role as the charming sleuth Benoit. Joining him is an A-list cast including Josh O’Connor (known for Challengers and The Crown), Cailee Spaeny (Alien: Romulus, Priscilla), Mila Kunis (Black Swan) and the legendary Glenn Close (Fatal Attraction, 101 Dalmations).
Jeremy Renner is also making a comeback to the franchise. Devotees will recall his stint as the mascot for a hot sauce brand in Glass Onion, but his character in Wake Up Dead Man is entirely unrelated.

The latest instalment will hit the streaming service on December 12, 2025, but Craig admitted that he’d love for the movie to go into theatres. “Hopefully, Netflix will push it out a bit, and people will get to see it. The people I speak to – the fans, I suppose – all they want to do is take their families and go see it at the cinemas. That’s all they want to do. Hopefully we can give them that experience,” the former James Bond star told Variety.
Netflix’s first-look prompted reactions from fans, with one saying: “Let’s go. Love Daniel Craig in this role,” while another commented: “I’m just here for Benoit Blanc’s Southern charm and all the chaos in between.” Another film enthusiast predicted: “This mystery is shaping up to be the best one yet.”
