Enter the world of the snobbish, manic Basil; his domineering wife Sybil; and the hopeless language-challenged waiter Manuel. Be one of the steady stream of bemused guests trying to make Manuel understand what it is you want. Innocently ask for an ‘ice bucket' and you'll probably end up with a ‘nice bucket'; a simple procedure like opening a bottle of wine can become a huge drama; and maybe, just maybe, in the middle of all these events, you might get some service – Faulty style of course. Everything that can go wrong will. In fact, this can best be described as organised chaos bundled into two hours of "fat-wobbling, gut-busting, face-aching laughter" whilst enjoying a fabulous three course meal.
