Six by Nico, the creative dining concept renowned for its ever-evolving six-course tasting menus, is bringing its most immersive and innovative experience yet to Oxford, ‘Murder on the Midnight Express’
The new dining experience and six course tasting menu is inspired by the world-renowned Oxfordshire murder mystery author Agatha Christie’s novel of the same name. This innovative concept will expertly blend mystery and storytelling with food and drink, setting a new standard for customer engagement.
Diners are invited to step aboard the Midnight Express to travel back to the 1930s, join the dots and unravel the mystery. Inspired by classic French cuisine, six delicious courses immerse you in a blood curdling tale of foul play.
Oxford is renowned as the UK home of some of the most iconic and much-loved murder mystery stories, from Agatha Christie’s novels to TV sows like Morse and Midsomer Murders, creating a perfect synergy with the new ‘Murder on the Midnight Express’ menu.
Founder Nico Simeone said: “Murder on the Midnight Express’ is more than just a tasting menu; it’s a journey that introduces ‘immersion’ to our creative framework, adding to our existing sources of inspiration that cover destinations, memories, and ideas.
“We’ve always believed in pushing creative boundaries, and this new creative pillar of immersion adds something missing from the dining scene. It’s not just about food; it’s about giving our guests an experience for them to step into. From the moment they sit down they are provided with clues and case files along with props and story-driven elements to solve the crime.”
With this new direction, the Six by Nico creative team have pushed themselves into new territories and setting the stage for future themes that seek to captivate and surprise guests.
As part of this change, the restaurant brand has introduced an extended dining slot of 2.5 hours, giving their guests an additional 30 minutes to enjoy a more relaxed and immersive experience.
Nico added: “We have always been dedicated to delivering value through their experiences and we are constantly looking at new ways to innovate and how we try to invest in the dining experience. That’s why this year we’re investing even more into every moment you spend with us – offering extended time at the table to make each visit truly extraordinary.”
Murder on the Midnight Express is cooking from 27th January – 9th March and is priced at £50 for the six-course immersive tasting menu. Guests can enhance their experience with an optional £35 wine, or £45 cocktail pairing.
