London west end - pre theatre dinner with kids?

[XoxoAmy]

Hi all - I am a US Disney fan and my family and I are headed across the pond to visit Paris and London in June (and of course DL Paris!)

While we're in London we will be seeing Back to the Future in the West End (Adelphi Theatre) on a Thursday evening, and I was looking for recommendations on a nice place to have a pre-theatre dinner. My kids are 11 and 15, and the 11 year old is a picky eater, so any place that is kid friendly would be prefect.

And if our show is at 19:30 would dinner at 17:30 be ok, or should we start earlier?
Thank you in advance!

I usually go to Angus Steakhouse, there is one on Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square. The latter is a 7 minute walk from the Adelphi.

If you are just doing a main course, 2 hours should be plenty. The restaurants in this neighbourhood serve many theatre guests, so they are used to a rush hour at this time. Informing your server know about your plans usually helps.

I don't have any advice but just wanted to say have a wonderful trip! We just returned from London/Edinburgh and loved it. We saw Phantom while in London and thought it was amazing. His Majesty's Theatre was a great venue!

The Adelphi Theatre is on The Strand, which is at the edge of Covent Garden area. Theres a huge number of restaurants in the surrounding streets.

I would suggest Nandos, 66-68 Chandos Place its a Portuguese Peri Peri Chicken restaurant, budget and family friendly. Its hugely popular with London and UK people.

Angus Steakhouse at Leiscester Square is a bit of a walk to the theatre,

Hi! Where did you end up eating? We are going to London next week and seeing the same show, have the same question - thanks! How did timing work out?

Have a look at restaurants in Covent Garden, a brief walk to your theatre. We saw the same show in May, very good. Another great show to see is the Tina Turner musical. The Ivy would probably be a good bet for you to try for dinner. Sushisamba is another one with looking at.

Yes, there are really a lot of good restaurants in Covent Garden. But it will be expensive.
