If you are planning a special night out in London, a show and meal package is one of the easiest ways to make the evening feel organised, relaxed and memorable. Instead of booking everything separately, you can combine theatre tickets with a dining option, making it ideal for date nights, celebrations, birthdays and weekend plans in the city.
Show and meal packages typically include your theatre tickets plus a meal at a selected restaurant. Depending on the package, this may be a set menu or a dining credit, and it can take the stress out of deciding where to eat — especially in busy areas around the West End. It also helps with timing, as restaurants included in meal deals are usually well placed for theatre schedules.
A show and meal option is also a great choice if you are buying theatre tickets as a gift. It feels more “complete” than tickets alone, and it turns the event into a full experience rather than just a couple of hours at the theatre. It can also be a good value option compared to booking a restaurant and show separately, particularly during peak dates.
If you are planning your evening, it is worth thinking about timing. Many people prefer to have dinner before the show for a relaxed start to the night, while others enjoy eating afterwards and extending the evening. If your performance is later in the evening, a pre-theatre meal is often the easiest choice.

We recommend booking early for popular weekend performances, as theatre and dining availability can fill up quickly, especially during peak travel periods and festive seasons.
