Herb Leamington Spa serves a vegan pre-theatre menu from 3:00pm to 7:00pm for £18.75 per person: rasam soup followed by seven vegetable tapas dishes with bread and rice. It is marked gluten free, nut free and vegan on the printed menu, and a vegan or allergy-friendly version can be requested. Book and mention your show time.
What is on the pre-theatre menu
The pre-theatre menu is a thali built on the Kerala sadhya: one plate of small dishes, designed to be eaten in a single sitting.
- Rasam soup – a light, tangy tomato broth with black pepper, cumin and tamarind.
- Seven vegetable tapas dishes – small portions of seasonal vegetables and lentils with coconut, curry leaves and mustard seed.
- Bread and rice to share the dishes with.

Timing your meal around the show
The pre-theatre menu is available only between 3:00pm and 7:00pm. Work backwards from your curtain time: tell the restaurant when you book, arrive with time to spare, and leave yourself a margin to reach the theatre. Check your journey time on the day. Herb Leamington Spa is open from 10am, so an early evening table is easy to plan.
Other options before a show
You can also order from the full Leamington Spa menu, such as a dosa (from £7.89) or the Slim Thali (£16.85). Leamington Spa has its own menu, so prices differ from Leicester.
