Sounds like a good time. Just hope whoever plays the murderer is a decent actor. That can make or break these things.
Reservations fill fast is an understatement. Called for something similar there once and it was already gone within hours.
My book club is always looking for something different to do. This might be our next outing honestly.
Hope they do one around Halloween too. That would be the perfect timing for something like this.
A murder mystery AND dinner is such a better date idea than just sitting across from each other at a regular restaurant.
jen_not_jennyExactly. You actually have something to talk about the whole night instead of just staring at your phones.
Only downside is Peddler's Village parking on a busy Friday. Get there early people.
Mark C.Good call. Learned that the hard way at their holiday events. Showing up 20 minutes early makes a huge difference.
I dressed up for one of these a few years ago and honestly the costume part is half the fun. Do not skip it.
Couldn't agree more, costuming is specifically encouraged at this event because it genuinely deepens the sense of immersion for everyone in the room, not just the person wearing it.
Peddler's Village in general is just charming. An event like this fits right in.
I feel like I would accidentally spoil the mystery by laughing too much. But I still want to go.
Worth the drive from Newtown for sure. That place has great atmosphere already.
My coworkers and I are always trying to find something different for team outings. This might actually work.
These kinds of events are exactly what local restaurants need to stay relevant. Good for them for doing this.
Got a gift card for Cock n Bull sitting in my wallet. Looks like I just found the perfect reason to use it.
Pearls and pinstripes in Doylestown on a Friday night. I am here for it.
Cock n Bull always does a nice job with their events. Food is solid too which helps.
Are kids allowed or is this strictly adults only? Article does not say.
Sounds fun but I would want to know if they seat you with strangers or just your own group. That changes the whole experience.
That's a great question to ask when you call for reservations, and since spots fill up quickly, it's worth reaching out to Cock n Bull directly to confirm the seating arrangements before the big night.
Already texted my friends about this. We need a group outing ASAP.
The 1920s theme is giving me Great Gatsby vibes and I am completely here for it.
Rosemary C.Right?? Already planning my outfit around a headband and long pearls. Just need someone to call me old sport all night.
Been going to Peddler's Village for years and never knew the Cock n Bull did events like this. Pretty cool.
My daughter and I are always looking for something fun to do together on weekends. Adding this to the list for sure.
Diane FerrisMother daughter night out sounds perfect for this honestly. You two will have a great time.
Hope the food is good because I have been to some of these where the mystery was great but the meal was a letdown.
The Cock n Bull Restaurant has a solid reputation for its kitchen, so guests can expect a proper multi-course meal to match the theatrical experience, not an afterthought.
I always feel a little awkward in costumes but feathered headbands sound like something I could actually pull off.
A feathered headband is absolutely a low-commitment way to nail the 1920s vibe, easy to find, instantly effective, and the article's mention of pearls pairs perfectly with it too.
The 1920s era is so underrated for themes. Way more interesting than the usual stuff.
I wish these things started a little earlier. An evening event on a Friday is hard when you have young kids at home.
Anyone else think Doylestown is just getting better and better? Events like this are why I love living here.
Tom B.Honestly yes. Between this and all the stuff at Peddler's Village, there's always something going on. Didn't used to be like this.
Went to a murder mystery dinner once and the actors were so convincing I genuinely had no idea who did it until the end. Great experience.
Doylestown really has been stepping it up lately with stuff like this. Nice to see.
The multi-course meal part is what gets me. Good food AND entertainment? Yes please.
A murder mystery dinner sounds fun but I always feel awkward trying to act like a detective in public lol.
These events fill up SO fast. Learned that the hard way last year.
Honestly never been to Cock n Bull. Maybe this is the reason to finally go.
The feathered headbands and pinstripes sold me. Already planning my outfit.
Is this a one time thing or will they do more nights? Fridays are tough for us.
My husband and I did one of these murder mystery dinners in New Hope a while back. So much fun. Might have to drag him to this one too.
Peddler's Village never disappoints. This just makes Friday even better.
Does anyone know the price per person? That would be helpful info to include.
The 1920s theme is perfect for that place. Already fits the vibe.
Went to one of these a few years back and had the best time. Cock n Bull is such a great spot for something like this.
My book club has been looking for something different to do together. This could be perfect.
A murder mystery dinner is honestly a perfect book-club outing, you already love a good plot twist, and this one comes with a multi-course meal attached.
Multi course meal AND a mystery to solve? That is a solid Friday night right there.
Went to a murder mystery dinner in New Hope a few years back and it was honestly so much fun. Cannot wait to try this one.
Amanda RussoWas that the one at Havana? I feel like I heard great things about that. This one sounds even more fun with the 1920s theme.
I am not much of a costume person but even I might make an exception for a pinstripe suit and a good meal.
A sharp pinstripe suit is honestly one of the easier 1920s looks to pull together, and once you're mingling with suspects over dinner, any hesitation tends to disappear fast.
Peddler's Village keeps finding ways to surprise me. This is a great idea.
A 1920s theme is perfect for this kind of thing. Love the era, love the mystery vibe.
Does anyone know the price for the dinner? Would love to bring my whole family but need to budget for it.
My wife would absolutely love this. Guess I know what we are doing Friday night.
Mike CallahanHa this is cute. Book it before it fills up though, the article said reservations go fast!
Reservations fill up fast is not a joke. I waited too long last time and missed out completely.
The Cock n Bull is already one of my favorite spots in Peddler's Village. This just makes it even better.
Peddler's Village already sets a wonderful backdrop, and the Cock n Bull's transformation into a 1920s murder mystery scene really does take its charm to a whole new level.
Went to one of these last year and had a blast. Highly recommend going with a group of friends.
Janet M.How many people were in your group? Wondering if 4 is enough or if bigger is more fun.
Love hearing that, there's something about solving a mystery with a crowd of friends that just can't be replicated, and we hope this Friday's event delivers that same energy.
