Experience Taste Film London’s Eat Along Cinema Screenings in 2026

Watching a film while eating themed food sounds gimmicky until you actually see how Taste Film does it.

It is a fully timed dining experience where every course arrives alongside a specific moment in the film. When characters eat on screen, your matching dish lands at your table seconds later.

That timing is what makes the entire thing work. Instead of passively watching a movie, you end up moving through the story with it. And in a city packed with immersive events, Taste Film still feels genuinely different.

What is Taste Film London?

Taste Film is an immersive dining and cinema experience running across multiple London venues.

You sit inside a restaurant style setting and throughout the screening, a multi course menu is served in sync with the film. The dishes are designed around scenes, settings, characters, and specific moments from the movie itself.

That means the food is not random themed catering. Timing is central to the experience.

If a film shifts location, tone, or energy, the menu usually changes with it. One moment might involve cocktails and canapés, while the next moves into comfort food, desserts, or interactive elements. The result feels much closer to live theatre mixed with dining.

How the Taste Film experience works

You arrive around 30 minutes before the screening starts, check in at the venue, settle into your table, and the first course usually begins shortly after the film starts.

From there, the experience runs alongside the movie itself.

You are not expected to leavqe your seat, queue for food, or interrupt the screening. Everything is paced around the runtime of the film, with dishes arriving quietly throughout the evening.

The venues themselves are intimate restaurant spaces which changes the atmosphere completely. You are close to the screen, close to the food, and much more engaged in the experience overall.

Taste Film also caters to vegan, gluten free, and non alcoholic requirements if selected during booking.

Taste Film London venues and locations

Taste Film currently operates across three London venues, each with a slightly different atmosphere.

Parlour, Kensal Green

This is the original Taste Film venue and still the most atmospheric of the three.

The space feels warmer, more intimate, and slightly more cinematic, which works especially well for nostalgic or emotionally driven films like ‘Ratatouille’, ‘Paddington’, and ‘Pretty Woman’.

Address: 5 Regent Street, Kensal Green, NW10 5LG.

Nearest station: London Underground Kensal Green.

The Refinery Citypoint, Moorgate

This venue sits inside the City of London and works well for post work screenings or group nights.

It has a cleaner, more modern dining setup and hosts films like ‘Guardians of the Galaxy,’ ‘Mamma Mia!’, and ‘Friends’.

Address: 1 Ropemaker Street, EC2Y 9HT.

Nearest station: Moorgate.

The Moniker, Fenchurch Avenue

Located in London’s business district, this venue leans slightly more social and energetic.

Films like ‘White Chicks’, ‘Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs’, and ‘Snatch’ suit the atmosphere particularly well.

Address: 25 Fenchurch Avenue, EC3M 5AD.

Nearest stations: Monument and Bank.

Best Taste Film London screenings in 2026

The 2026 programme is packed with nostalgic favourites, cult classics, and highly interactive menus.

Here are some of the standout screenings worth prioritising.

Paddington at Parlour

This is one of the highest rated Taste Film experiences and probably the safest first pick if you have never done one before.

The menu includes marmalade inspired dishes, British afternoon tea elements, Peruvian flavours, and DIY cocktail components that directly reference the film.

Because the venue itself already feels cosy and intimate, the atmosphere lines up naturally with the warmth of the movie.

Dates run across May and early June 2026.

Ratatouille at Parlour

This is easily one of the strongest concept pairings in the entire programme.

A film already centred around food translates perfectly into Taste Film’s format, and the menu leans heavily into French comfort dishes, layered flavours, and playful presentation.

Expect ratatouille itself, slow cooked lamb, soup courses with DIY toppings, desserts, and interactive surprises throughout the evening.

It currently holds one of the highest audience ratings in the programme.

Mamma Mia! at The Refinery

If you want a louder, more social atmosphere, this is likely the best choice.

The screening combines Greek inspired dishes, cocktails, flatbreads, honey flavours, pistachio desserts, and ABBA’s soundtrack playing through a full dining room.

The energy is intentionally upbeat and works especially well for birthdays, group bookings, and celebrations.

Screenings begin from late June 2026.

Jaws at Parlour

Taste Film’s newer additions tend to lean more theatrical, and Jaws looks designed exactly that way.

The menu includes seafood boils, frozen margaritas, spicy snacks, and dramatic presentation elements timed to major moments in the film.

This is probably one of the most immersive options in the entire lineup simply because the pacing of the movie naturally creates tension between courses.

Friends at The Refinery

Instead of showing a full film, this experience screens five curated episodes of the sitcom with themed dishes linked to iconic scenes.

That means turkey sandwiches, trifle inspired desserts, crab cakes, margaritas, cookies, and references fans will immediately recognise.

It is lighter, more nostalgic, and probably one of the easiest group friendly options in the lineup.

The food experience at Taste Film London

One of the biggest reasons Taste Film works is because the menus are treated seriously.

Most screenings include proper multi course dining with drinks, plated dishes, desserts, and interactive components built into the service.

Depending on the film, menus may include:

• Cocktails or themed drinks
• Canapés and starters
• Main courses
• Desserts
• DIY or interactive elements timed to scenes

The stronger screenings usually avoid becoming overly literal. Instead of simply recreating food from the movie, they build menus around mood, setting, and story progression.

Taste Film London ticket prices

Pricing depends on venue and screening. Typical ticket ranges:

• The Refinery Citypoint: Starts £85.80.
• The Moniker: Approx. £85.80 to £91.
• Parlour: Approx. £103 to £104.

The higher Parlour pricing largely reflects the more extensive menus and the venue’s stronger immersive setup.

Tickets usually include the screening and full dining experience. Drinks vary depending on the specific event.

Important things to know before booking

A few details are worth knowing beforehand:

• Arrive at least 30 minutes early because service begins promptly.
• Dietary requirements should be selected during booking.
• Seating is communal in atmosphere, even if tables are separate.
• The experience lasts roughly the runtime of the film.
• Parlour screenings usually sell out the fastest.
• Group bookings work especially well for birthdays and date nights.

Because service is synchronised with the film itself, late arrivals can miss entire courses.
