Set the stage for your Globe experience with a pre theatre meal

A pre theatre meal or glass of wine is the first act for any discerning theatre-goer. Located next to Shakespeare’s Globe and the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, Swan’s restaurant is the destination of choice for diners seeking to eat before a performance. Or pop into the bar to sample our local gins, signature cocktails, craft ales on tap, and extensive choice of wines by the glass.

Authentic English dining at its best

To complement the Globe’s celebration of England’s best known dramatist, our menus have been designed to show off the wonderful ingredients produced in this country.

Swan’s talented kitchen team gives centre stage to fabulous English produce, letting seasonal flavours take the limelight.

Understanding that pre theatre menus must deliver on speed as well as taste, our two or three course set menu comes with paired wine suggestions, so there’s no danger of missing curtain up.
