Are you visiting local theatres? Come and have a drink or meal at the Tom Cribb
Are you booked to see Giant at the Harold Pinter Theatre? The five-star, sold-out production of Giant has arrived in the West End for a strictly limited 12-week run.
Make your theatre trip even more memorable with a visit to the Tom Cribb — a traditional British pub just a short stroll from Leicester Square. Whether you're after a pre-show meal or a post-show drink, our beautifully restored Victorian pub offers the perfect setting in the heart of London’s theatre district.
A historic London pub
Small but perfectly formed, the Tom Cribb is a cosy, characterful spot with plenty of personality - not to mention excellent beers.
Located directly opposite the Harold Pinter Theatre, our pub is naturally buzzing on show nights, but it’s also a popular stop-off for visitors to the National Portrait Gallery, and tourists exploring the bright lights of Piccadilly. (Our nearest tube stations are Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square).
The pub can even claim to be one of the area’s attractions itself. It’s named after British bare-knuckle champion boxer, Tom Cribb, who fought between 1805 and 1811, and later became the publican here.
A tasty menu
If you are looking for some good pub food to enjoy pre- or post-theatre have a look at our menus, available in the bar area and upstairs. We have a selection of delicious pub dishes including a range of pies, with the option of gravy or liquor, burgers, fish & chips and more.
There are also plenty of smaller plates on offer, such as our seeded pork sausage roll, Sussex farms pork & smoked bacon Scotch Egg or how about the Hash brown potato puffs!
Raise a glass to a boxing legend
An English Heritage plaque outside pays tribute to Cribb, one of the greatest boxers of all time, while the pub’s interior commemorates its boxing heritage.
There’s also a plaque dedicated to Bill Richmond, a slave-turned-boxer who became the world’s first black sports superstar, and whose career was inextricably linked to Cribb's.
Why not raise a glass to these boxing legends, as you enjoy a couple of rounds of your own? After a larger celebration? Book our function room today.
