Pre-Theatre Dining in Leicester Square

Ember at Horizons sits at Queens House, 1 Leicester Place — a two-minute walk from Leicester Square Underground and within easy reach of the West End's major theatres. The pre-theatre menu runs daily until 6:30pm, offering two- and three-course options from the charcoal grill kitchen at a set price that sits well below typical Leicester Square rates.

The restaurant is open from 12pm, so there's no need to rush. Most pre-theatre groups arrive between 5pm and 6pm, leaving comfortable time to eat, have a drink on the terrace, and walk to their show. The kitchen moves quickly for early-evening covers.

The Pre-Theatre Menu

The pre-theatre menu is drawn from Ember's main charcoal grill kitchen — same ingredients, same sourcing, served as a set-price meal for theatre-goers. Two-course and three-course options are available. The menu changes seasonally; see the current food menu for the latest selection.
