Fawlty Towers Dinner Party entertainment ideas
These can come in many guises, and formalities, with Fawlty Towers themes to suit all. On a low key event, it could be typically meeting and greeting guests on arrival, perhaps assisting with drinks and canapes, mixing and mingling with the guests.
A surprise entrance, typically just before the main course is about to be served is often used as a first appearance. All is relatively quiet, until a large clatter is heard in the kitchen area, and it sounds like the meal has hit the floor, and the culprit has been given the sack. Then it's overheard that the meal is being retrieved by scrapping it off the floor, and put onto some new plates whilst it's still hot. The real culprit, Basil Fawlty looakalike, Ed Wells, then appears with a serving trolley with a cloche cover over. He blags his way out of a corner in his own inimitable style, and makes a short speech. He then mentions it should be Manuel that serves up the meal, and if he had his way, he would have his head on a plate. He lifts up the cloche cover, and there is a head on the plate, complete with moustache, and it's a well known VIP! Basil may then go outside, have an argument with Chef, and come in again disguised as Chef to provide an apology! ;)
During the rest of the meal, there are numerous props and routines for a more one to one service around the table, including a radio controlled rat, and the Majors shotgun to give chase. Also options of an interactive Manuel & Emmanuel recruiting competition as a grand finale at the end of the meal.
