Pre-Theatre Menus
The Perfect Choice for Pre-Theatre Dining
Italian Dining Before the Curtain Rises
When planning an evening at the theatre, choosing where to dine beforehand is all part of the experience. Our pre-theatre dining menus are thoughtfully created to let you enjoy great Italian food before the curtain rises, without feeling rushed.
Available at selected San Carlo, Cicchetti and Fumo restaurants across London, Manchester, Birmingham and Bristol, our theatre menus allow you to enjoy Italian dining in stylish, welcoming surroundings before heading to your seats.
Thoughtfully Timed Italian Dining
Whether you’re attending a West End performance or a city-centre show our restaurants are ideally placed for pre-theatre dining.
Each menu is created with theatre schedules in mind, offering dishes that can be enjoyed comfortably without feeling rushed — allowing you to make the most of both your meal and the evening ahead.
A Menu Designed for Theatre Nights
Our pre-theatre menus celebrate the simplicity and flavour of Italian cooking, with dishes that feel satisfying yet easy to enjoy before a performance.
Expect a selection of small plates, fresh pasta, seafood and much-loved Italian dishes, alongside lighter options ideal for early evening dining. From Cicchetti-style sharing plates to signature favourites such as pan-fried fillet of seabass with garlic and chilli spinach, pollo Milanese and spaghetti carbonara, served at Fumo and San Carlo, each menu offers a thoughtful balance of variety and flavour.
To finish, enjoy a classic Italian dessert such as tiramisu or millefoglie, paired with a perfectly made espresso before heading off to the theatre.
