Taste Film, the dining experience where film fans are served up a menu of food featuring in their favourite big-screen releases, has a new season of themed events heading to the UK across the coming months.<\/p>\n

The ‘Misfits, Friends & Unlikely Heroes’ season continues across April, May and June, with menus based on new and returning films.<\/p>\n

Kicking things off in April, there’s the experience based on the 1996 classic Matilda, which stars Danny DeVito, Rhea Perlman, and Mara Wilson.<\/p>\n

The menu includes fancier versions of the food the Wormwoods eat, including pancakes, fried chicken, and a ‘TV dinner’, while dessert is obviously based on the huge chocolate cake that Bruce Bogtrotter is forced to finish off.<\/p>\n

Tickets for afternoon and evening experiences are available here<\/a>, with most of the dates already on low availability.<\/p>\n

There’s also a Paddington-themed experience taking place across May and June, which includes plenty of marmalade as you’d expect, including cocktails infused with the little bear’s favourite flavour.<\/p>\n

There’s also British classics such as pie and broccoli soup, as well as a dish celebrating Paddington’s home country of Peru.<\/p>\n

Tickets are available here<\/a>, with more dates having higher availability compared to the Matilda one.<\/p>\n

If neither of those take your fancy, there are also experiences based on Guardians of the Galaxy<\/a>, Pulp Fiction<\/a>, Mean Girls<\/a> and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs<\/a>, to name just a few on the horizon.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, ones based on Ratatouille<\/a>, Beauty and the Beast<\/a>, and Twilight<\/a> are already running, if you’re able to snatch up tickets in time.<\/p>\n

Every experience includes vegan\/vegetarian options, and of course you’ll get to watch the films as you dine.<\/p>\n

The Taste Film events have received a lot of positive buzz so far, with Your Local Guardian<\/a> calling it “a game-changer” and Verge Magazine<\/a> dubbing it “Refreshingly unique, excels in delivery, and positively unforgettable”.<\/p>\n

Taste Film events are taking place across London, Manchester and Edinburgh, with plans to launch Bristol, Birmingham and Brighton soon.<\/p>\n

The new edition of Living Legends, a 100-page all-colour celebration of Taylor Swift, is here! Buy Taylor in newsagents or online<\/a>, priced at just \u00a38.99.<\/p>\n
