This dinner party menu brings together all three burgers featured in the movie, along with a couple of sweet treats, so you and your friends can watch the film, and enjoy all the food from Pulp Fiction food along with your favourite characters.

THE PULP FICTION TABLE:
Nothing screams Pulp Fiction quite like Diner chic, so we decided to dress the table with a few pieces of Americana, and of course, the iconic glowing briefcase. Be sure to leave your guests spending the night wondering what's hiding in there...
We always mock up a menu for our Dinner and a Movie nights on the free version of Canva, it's a inexpensive way to have a themed item on the table, and always nice to let your guests know what is coming. In this case, more burgers than you should eat in a lifetime.
Arguably the best MacGuffin of all time, is Pulp Fiction's black leather briefcase that glows from the inside. We had to have one on the table, it's such a fun nod to the movie, and was easy to achieve with a small panel light.
These ketchup and mustard bottles scream diner chic, and fit into our colour scheme perfectly. Saucy.
We mocked up these placemats on Canva, to finish of our diner table, and designed them to fit in with our menu design, and tie everything together. If you're guests aren't messy eaters, than they can also make for a nice party favour!
We couldn't resist this napkin dispenser as it couldn't be more perfect for the theme! We used the red and white checkered pattern to inspire the design of our placemats and menus.
THE MENU
ROYALE WITH CHEESE
The first in our Pulp Fiction burger trio, is inspired by Vincent Vega, and his fascination with France's take on a classic quarter pounder with cheese.
