London's Best Pre Theatre
At The Coal Shed London, our passion is simple — exceptional produce and the art of cooking over fire. It’s the foundation of everything we do.
For Pre Theatre, we let quality speak for itself: the finest seasonal ingredients, responsibly sourced from dedicated producers across the UK, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, expertly grilled over glowing coals to deliver bold, honest flavour in every bite.
Our Pre-Theatre menu is one of the best value dining experiences in London — enjoy 2 courses for £26 or 3 for £30. Available Tuesday to Friday from 12pm to 3pm. Take a look at the menu below.
