Can anyone recommend somewhere not too far from the Lyceum to get a pre theatre meal on a saturday night

We always do Jumbos - not top notch,high society food Buy always available and filling.

I would suggest Ego mediteranean restaurant next to the peace gardens and adjacent to the Mercure hotel. I went last week with family and there is a really nice atmosphere and they do a pre-theatre offer with lots of choices on the menu. Plus if you sign up to their website you get a free bottle of wine when you go. I don't work there honest! but I thought at the time it would make a nice pre-theatre venue.

Ego is good or there is Piccolino in Millennium Square (the other side of the Winter Garden) or Cafe Rouge. Slightly further away there are a few good places in Leopold Square. Enjoy.

Why not give Crucible Corner a try, they have changed the evening menu to a fine dining style offer, i went the other day and had the stargazer and king prawn curry, absolutely fantastic. The prices are pretty good for the style and they sell quite possibly the best pint of san miguel in town.
I will definatley be going there again.

Leopold Square has some decent places and you can get offers online. Also, All Bar One is nice. Your request depends on budget and taste.

I would def try el paso on the moor. It has become one our favourite. Good food and staff are always smiling. Good value for money as well

Crucible Corner was great before they changed the menu!

The new restaurant on Surrey Street called the London Club is very nice -we went last weekend and were impressed.

What was the menu like before? And what now? The time I tried to visit, I genuinely couldn't get there through the fences and machinery without walking back round and coming round from the other side of the Crucible.

Granted it was lazy of us, but we just went to Zooby's in the Gardens for food and coffee anyway.

Wish they'd hurry up and finish the courtyard outside the theatres!

There was a varied menu before which seemed to cater to a lot of tastes. There were large meals and also lighter snacks. Now the preshow menu, at least when I went in a couple of weeks ago, was down to four or five choices and in our group of six there were a couple of people who didn't see anything they liked.

It wasn't the quality of the food, but rather that the choice was poor and it was all in the genre of 'fine dining'.

Thank you all i now have some options to look at

Like i said, try Crucible Corner. If your going to the theatre its easy. Mind you it may be full of scantily clad ladies and men seeing as Rocky Horror is on at the Lyceum. I may pop down myself. For the ladies of course, not bothered about blokes in basques.:hihi:

Crucible Corner is owned by Sheffield Theatres which is a charity so you can feel virtuous while stuffing your face. A friend went there today and really liked the food - simple but tasty, she said. It was fully booked when I went but is worth a try.

We ate at Crucible Corner for the first time last night and it was really good. A small menu but everything is freshly prepared and very tasty. Great service too.

Portion sizes weren't huge but were just right for us. It will be even better once you don't have to clamber through the building site that is Tudor Square to get there.

My friend said exactly the same thing about portion size and quality. I'll give it another try sometime.

Silversmiths? The one on Arundel Street that's been Ramsayed? I've been a couple of times since its transformation but I'm a veggie so having the Yorkshire Blue tart twice was enough for me. At the time I think they said something about doing a pre-theatre menu. Btw, I've also heard good things about Ego and that pizza place in Leopold Street is OK too.

Is it Mama's near Brown Bear, lovely little place that.

The London Club on Surrey St has opened and has a pre-theatre menu i think.

Gonna see Lee Mack Friday and want some decent not expensive pre City Hall grub,any suggestions please.

the old house on division street- love it there- top notch pies!!! :D

Been to old house,love the pies and beer,thought maybe a change.

Tried the Wick At Both Ends on West St?

Mamas and Leonies is always busy pre theatre and only a couple of minutes walk away - near car parks too.
