Ah, the magic of London’s theatre scene. But before the dazzling lights and captivating performances of the west end, there’s the crucial question: where to dine? Enter the pre-theatre menu, a glorious invention designed to tantalise your taste buds and get you to your show on time.
What is a pre-theatre menu?
These special menus are lifesavers for theatre-goers. A pre-theatre menu offers a concise selection of delicious dishes, typically consisting of two or three courses (starter, main course, and sometimes dessert) at a fixed price. This streamlined approach allows you to enjoy a satisfying pre-show meal without the worry of poring over a lengthy menu or waiting on elaborate courses.
