A SPOOKY themed diner will be floating on the river Blackwater next weekend.

Pop-up restaurant Dirty Lobster will be putting on a Halloween-themed lobster supper club experience from next Friday, October 26 to Sunday, October 28.

The horrifying Halloween event is set on board a sailing barge at Cooks Yard in The Hythe.

A spokesman said: “Located right on the Maldon quayside, our 112 year-old spooky sailing barge – and her cast of devoted souls - will host the evening while regaling guests with terrifying tales of the forgotten.

“As our resident DJ drops his monstrous beats, take in the hauntingly historic sights on deck before ascending the stairs to dine below in a truly unique and intimate space.

“Whether you’re touched by the paranormal or you’re a true sceptic, our supper club is nothing short of a supernatural affair to thrill, frighten and feed.

“So, when the rumbles come a-calling, trick-or-treat your taste buds to a variety of horrifying lobster and seafood dishes prepared for you by our ghoulish ship skivvies.

“In the dead of the night, allow yourself to be tormented by deadly desserts and an abundance of spirits of the alcoholic variety to bring you back to life.

“Finally, when the feast is done and all hallows have been laid to rest, lurk in the shadows and enjoy the darkness until there are no skeletons left in the cabin.”

Tickets cost £5 and this covers the costs of production and actors.

Food and drink on the night will have to be purchased at an addition charge.

Guests will be emailed with options of times to dine within three days of their order being placed.
