How We Would Do It

We know showtimes are strict — so, for those in a hurry, our team will be on hand to talk you through the most time-friendly options to ensure you’re well-fed and on your way in good time. Here are just a few that we recommend:


  • All In: This is for you, dear sharers. Pre-chop bites followed by a heady mix of beef, pork and lamb chops piled high on charcoal-grilled flatbreads with a choice of side each.

  • Award-Winning Chops & Steaks: Signature lamb, pork chops, and steaks make the perfect pre-theatre options. Our Denver steak is a fantastic choice, and at £15, you can enjoy a steak and a side of your choice for £20 (service not included). Time sensitive, and kind to your wallet too!

  • Particularly Good at Lunch (and Dinner too): Swiftly served to be lunch-break-friendly, the Blacklock Burger or Stout and Ale Pie make great pre-theatre options and unlike the name suggests, they're available all day!
