  • Theatre Menu 2/3 Courses £17.95/£19.95

    Multiple dates available
    Heading to the Theatre? We’re thrilled to introduce our new Theatre menu, available before your performance from 5pm to 6:30pm and then again post-theatre between 9.30pm and 11pm at four of our London locations: Gaucho Covent Garden, Piccadilly, Tower Bridge, and Chancery Lane. Perfectly timed for your evening plans, this menu promises an exceptional dining experience. Start with a refreshing Gazpacho or indulge in crispy Prawn Chicarrón with aji amarillo sauce and pickled red onions. For the main course, enjoy a classic Rump steak with chimichurri, or opt for Pan-Fried Sea Bream with salsa verde and rocket salad. Vegetarian guests can enjoy the Pumpkin, Ricotta, and Sage Ravioli. Finish your meal with a sweet treat—whether it’s a rich Brownie, our indulgent Dulche De Leche Pancakes or a refreshing Sorbet. Join us for a delicious meal before your show at Gaucho.
