Culture Grub

Post-theatre
Culture Grub, 84 The Cut, SE1
It’s a weekday night, you’ve seen the play, you’re detoxing and all you want is a bowl of noodles and (free) jasmine tea? Tumble outside the Vic and find salvation next door. We recommend the pork and Chinese cabbage. (020 7928 9972)

In-house eats
Previously housing a Konditor & Cook concession; soon to open The Cut, a casual bar-restaurant run by the owners of Hampstead’s Holly Bush and serving gastropub fare.

Can I bring my own sarnies?
Cold food and drinks (in plastic containers) are permitted in the theatre.

Where do the cast/crew go?
The Windmill or Anchor & Hope pubs; Tas EV and Baltic for something fancy.
