Curtain Up! Pre-Theatre Dining at Lantana London Bridge

The lights are back on at Menier Chocolate Factory, and we couldn’t be happier to welcome its return to the neighbourhood. After its recent refit, the theatre has reopened just opposite us at Lantana London Bridge, and we were proud to host its relaunch celebration right here with us.

With culture flowing back onto the street, we’re setting the tone for the perfect pre-show ritual with our After Dark Pre-Theatre Fixed Price Dinner Menu. Relaxed, flavoursome dining before the curtain goes up.

After Dark at Lantana: A Different Side of the Café

By day, we’re known for brunch, coffee and bold Aussie-inspired dishes. After 5pm, the mood shifts.

After Dark at Lantana is:

• Seasonal small plates and satisfying mains
• Bright, confident flavours built for early evening dining
• Cocktails that signal the start of your night out
• An atmosphere that’s calm, warm and quietly buzzing

It’s everything you want from pre-theatre dining. From the fixed menu, expect:

To Start

Crispy Fried Chicken Karaage with Kewpie mayo,
Bang Bang Cauliflower with sweet chilli, citrus aioli and peanut crunch,
or Leek & Smoked Cheddar Croquetas with sweet pickled apple.

Light enough to open the appetite. Bold enough to feel like a proper beginning.

For Mains

Comforting and confident classics sit alongside vibrant, nourishing bowls:

• Nasi Goreng with caramelised black pepper pork belly, pulled chicken or Bang Bang tofu
• Smash Cheeseburger with double patties, pickles and fries
• Chicken Parmi with Napolitana sauce, mozzarella and parmesan
• Cod Caponata with Mediterranean vegetables, olives and fried capers
• Harissa Roasted Butternut Squash, Avocado Poke Bowl, or Chicken Shawarma Nourish Bowl for something lighter but layered with flavour

This is pre-theatre dining that doesn’t feel like a compromise.

Something Sweet Before the Curtain Rises

Finish with:

• Warm Chocolate Brownie with vanilla ice cream
• Sticky Toffee Pudding with butterscotch sauce
• Banoffee Banana Bread with salted caramel
• Or a classic Affogato for a clean, coffee-led finish

Dessert optional. Satisfaction guaranteed.

Ideal For

• Pre-theatre dinners before a Menier performance
• Midweek date nights with a cultural twist
• Small groups meeting before a show
• Post-work theatre plans
• Anyone who wants their evening to begin well, not hurriedly
