100% would send a mate.

A genuinely one-off dining experience: owner Jane Bom-Bane performs a themed story and song around your meal (hats are a running theme) and involves guests directly. Redditors describe it as "odd and quirky, nothing like it" and push it hard as an offbeat date night, though tables can be hard to get on short notice.

What locals say

This might not fit your spec 100% but if you want an interesting place to have dinner at try Bom-banes, it’s a really interesting place to have a meal. The owner Jane Bom-bane will perform a story whilst you eat (about one of her hats which are all themed, which she wears), she’ll also sing a song and include the guests in the song (when booking she’ll ask you for info on each guest). The tables you sit…

Have you heard of Jane Bom Banes? It's a restaurant and at the same time a quirky, beautiful cabaret show run by Jane herself. can't believe it's not more famous, bizarre, beautiful energy. May or may not get a table for tonight but highly recommend for date nights in the future.
