The best pre-theatre menus in London
Briefly

Dining has been a significant aspect of theatrical experiences for centuries, originating from cabaret performances in France and audiences at Shakespeare's Globe. In contemporary settings like the West End, diners can choose from numerous restaurants offering pre- or post-theatre menus, enhancing their experience. Multi-course meals not only provide adequate time for dining but also allow discussions about the performance, mitigating discomfort during the show. This combination of fine dining and entertainment invites a more glamorous atmosphere, encouraging patrons to dress up for their night out.
Dinner and a show has long been the go-to answer for how to spend an indulgent evening. More than a hundred years ago, the origins of cabaret in France saw guests gasp between bites at performers singing, dancing and striking poses.
In the modern day, the food and theatre pairing is a little more polished. In the West End, any theatre is bound to have multiple dinner options around the corner, offering pre- (or sometimes post-) theatre menus.
Here, a set two or three courses ensures plenty of time to dine and discuss the entertainment that follows. This way, there's no need to worry about rumbling tums as the curtains rise.
Plus, there's all the more reason to get glammed up when a decadent meal accompanies your show.
