Perfect Date
From start to finish it was the dream experience from the restaurant we had our pre show meal at (Thai Square) and the show itself. The view from our seats was far better than I expected and this gift for my girlfriend made her smile all day long. 100% would recommended for anyone looking to take their partner on a date night!

The excellent and the not so
The show was excellent and we enjoyed it so much. The seating was alittle disappointing, this was not a seating position fault but a design fault as the seats were not steeped enough so you could see the whole stage. The not so good was the meal, very limited choice on offer and tasteless.

Brilliant Theatre/Dinner experience
First the Dinner. Excellent Browns Restaurant in Covent Garden. The food was delicious and the waiter was extremely professional- ensuring we were happy with everything.

Great City Break
Our daughters bought us this Theatre & Brasserie experience for a joint gift. We decided to go by train and booked a hotel overnight so that we could incorporate some sightseeing in London. We had a really lovely meal and then went to see Motown the musical at the Shaftesbury Theatre. The whole experience was wonderful.

Lovely meal and excellent show
This was bought for us as a wedding present. The meal before was really nice in a lovely restaurant with a 2 course meal and a choice of drink. I have seen many shows but this one was one of the best, from beginning to end it was amazing. Well worth going to see this show both me and my husband really enjoyed the show. Great singing, great acting, funny and very entertaining. I definately would recommend this

Lovely day out
Calling to book the day was very easy! The meal was very convenient as it was probably less than a one minute walk to the theatre! We were given excellent variety to choose from (both the show and the meal) we had an excellent dinner and even better seats for the show! All in all one of the best days ever!!

Enjoyable day out
We received the virgin experience day as a Christmas present. Although we had seen most oh the shows on offer, we had a choice of two. The booking was easy and we had a thoroughly day out. Great seats in the theatre and a very enjoyable dinner afterwards.

Brilliant experience !
Excellent time had by both of us. We booked to eat at The Strand Restaurant which is a Carvery. Food was good and so was the service. The show we chose to see was Kinky Boots, this has to be one of the most uplifting shows we have ever seen. Good performances from the cast with lots of colour and spectacle. Fantastic evening all round.

Great Experience
We chose to go and see Mamma Mia, and were offered mid-priced seats in a good location. Being difficult customers, we looked up the theatre seating plan beforehand and asked politely to be offered seats more to our liking, which was obliged. The dinner package was offered a choice of 2 restaurants, neither to our liking, so we asked for alternatives. They then read a list of about 15 restaurants which they could also offer, so if you don't like the initial two, ask for alternatives!

Perfect theatre and dinner combo
The dinner at the carvery in the Strand Palace Hotel was very good. We also chose to stay at the hotel (at our cost) and they gave us a £15 voucher which we used towards a nice bottle of wine (not included in the voucher deal) at the carvery meal. Then we saw Kinky Boots - had second row seats in the stalls - and it was brilliant. All in all a very enjoyable evening.

Wonderful Experience
We had a great day in London, the meal at the Assagetti was well made and the staff very attentive. The theatre was clean and again the staff willing to help. The show was exquisite, the diction clear, even with the group singing it was clear, the main people were very good. We saw Les Miserable at the Queens.

Lovely treat!
This experience was bought for my birthday. I took my sister with me and we had a meal next to the theater beforehand that was delicious. Then went to see Phantom of the Opera. It was great! Only a couple of small issues at the restaurant was that we sat near the kitchen that was a bit loud and would have liked to have more to choose from the menu. Fantastic evening out and I would highly recommend it!!

The show was outstanding - shame about the meal
Our seats were fantastic and Les Misérables did not disappoint. An outstanding show and it is understandable that it has been running as long as it has. The disappointment comes from the fact that there was no choice of restaurant and the appointed restaurant was very young and trendy. There were plenty of available staff, but few with a command of English - in fact our order was wrong because the waiter could not understand! The meal was poor and very, very small.

Had a brilliant evening in London with dinner at Tuttons in Covent Garden. Pre Theatre menu is limited but food and service was not a disappointment. We chose to see Kinky Boots and were blown away by the show!! Everything ran smoothly and would definitely use this experience again.
