Pre & Post Theatre

Plan your next trip to the West-End

Let’s be honest, who doesn’t love dinner and a show?

We’re lucky enough to be located in the heart of London’s historic theatre-land with restaurants in the very centre of the city’s bustling West End, making us a much-loved destination for an easy, delicious, time-friendly lunch or dinner that will have you perfectly set up well before the curtain calls.

So whether you’re booking to see the latest musical extravaganza, one-person show, stand-up comedy or cabaret, we take reservations all day in London’s Soho and Covent Garden so we're primed and ready take care of all of your pre- and post-theatre needs.

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!
