Absolutely disgusting company. Bought tickets back at the start of 2020, with events being cancelled due to covid. Since then communication has been incredibly poor and no customer service to get ahol... See more

Dinner & Dissection returns for 2022 and we invite you on a journey through Victorian Medicine. Join us as we look back on The Victorian Greats… The Victorian era of Britain saw the industrial revolution bringing wealth and prosperity to the British Isles, at the same time the scientific method began to shine a light on the natural world and provided answers to some of the greatest questions about our existence. Our understanding of the human body, its origins, and anatomical functions accelerated giving rise to much of the advancement that underpins modern medicine today.

Good idea, poorly delivered

The idea of the evening is good, but really really needs refining.
Loads of people rammed into a very very small room and it got very very noisy, so made it hard to hear the presenter. Felt at times very amateurish with back room staff walking onto stage and talking to the presenter whilst she was explaining things to us.
Not sure how it was Victorian themed as we were just disecting animal parts with very old blunt equipment. Disappointed/not comfortable with the body on the table think it needs to be replaced or just removed as it didn't really bring anything to the evening.
Great idea but really needs to be refined on how it is delivered, get the feeling its all about a quick profit and not the delivery or content.
Could not fault the woman presenter as she was very informative and keen to help.

Not worth the money.

Dinner itself was mediocre.
No drinks at all provided, even tap water or soft drinks. Huge queues at the bar as 150 or so people had to buy their own drinks. Ended up using the main bar as the queue was so slow moving.
The dissections were from animals and they were shared with the whole table (10 people) giving each person less than 5 mins with each specimen. Tools were blunt and inappropriate.
Only two specimens given.
The presenter was good and had enthusiasm, it was a shame the crowd were rowdy so it was difficult to hear her at times. She had what looked like a human body on her table. It ended up being a realistic looking dummy with animal specimens placed inside. The camera coverage was very poor.
Overall for the experience I maybe would have paid £30-50, not £70+. Great idea but needs refinement.

Hello, we're really sorry to hear that Dinner & Dissection did not meet your expectations.
We do not specify that drinks are included in the meal however, we do offer water on the table so we're sorry to hear this was not the case at your event.
We have also addressed the queue time at the bar with our venue partner and will encourage the venue to ensure they are staffed accordingly.
During the event, we provide a minimum of 3 specimens and opportunities to dissect throughout and a further 4th dissection completed by the presenter.
We appreciate your feedback and would love to offer you the opportunity to return to an event in the future with a 30% off coupon code. Please email us on dissect@dinneranddissection.co.uk to claim this discount.

Excellent knowledge of anatomy

Excellent knowledge of anatomy from the staff presenting the show and great use of multiple organs for dissection and learning. Very interesting and definitely worth a try for anyone considering trying one of these nights out

Fantastic host

Fantastic host. Very interactive evening. Even was provided with ppe to become the part. Food was lovely. Will definitely do another evening like this

However I am still waiting 2weeks later for the CPD code to access. I was told would get email within 48hrs…. Still waiting. I went the next day for different event with same company and got those CDP hours at the end.

I actually now agree more with the bad reviews

DO NOT BUY TICKETS FROM THIS COMPANY

DO NOT BUY TICKETS FROM THIS COMPANY. They sold my friend and I legitimate tickets (date, time, venue, price paid all stated on them), we turned up at their event and there was no event on!! The hotel said there was never even anything booked. We have tried emailing and contacting via social media and there has been no response, yet they continue to post on social media and market these events. There is also no telephone number to call and we have tried contacting the associated companies (Med-Soc, ITAE group, Medic Player) to no avail. I will continue to hound them publicly and take legal action if necessary as they owe my friend and I money, which is a significant amount to both of us.

We can confirm that all ticket holders were contacted via email, we're sorry you did not see this and arrived at the original venue.
We book our events with the head office so the individual you spoke to may not have been personally aware of the event that was originally scheduled and then unfortunately cancelled. We're glad we have now resolved this with the ticket holder (your friend) and hope to see you at an event in the future.

Holly was amazing!

Great show, learning not only about anatomy and dissection but the historical aspect of it all! Never knew the origins of modern medicine and was so informative! Holly was fantastic...
