The Menu: how to watch awards-nominated film as it lands on streaming services and what is it about?

The 2022 film was released last November to critical praise and is now available to stream.

A popular dark comedy horror which was released in late 2022 is already available for you to watch at home. ‘The Menu’ - released in November 2022 - has a blockbuster cast and a chilling plot.

The film follows a young couple who travel to an exclusive, remote restaurant run by a disturbing chef - Chef Slowik - with a dark secret.

The couple - Margot and Tyler - struggle to make it through the meal as secrets about their surrounding guests are revealed throughout the film. It becomes clear that the chef is exacting vengeance on those he thinks have wronged him and no one is meant to leave the restaurant alive.

As the courses come out of the kitchen, the meal grows more and more disturbed.
