A restaurant in the West End has to fit around the rest of the evening. Sometimes dinner is the main event. Sometimes you have theatre tickets, drinks booked afterwards or friends arriving at different times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jamon Jamon Soho is at 3 Caxton Walk, London WC2H 8PW<\/strong>, in the heart of Soho and the West End. The menu is built around Spanish tapas and paella, which makes it easy to adjust the size and pace of the meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tapas are particularly practical before a show because you can order a focused first round and stop there. There is no need to work through a fixed multi-course meal when the curtain time is already set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Try Padr\u00f3n Peppers<\/a>, Croquetas de Jam\u00f3n<\/a>, Gambas al Ajillo<\/a> and Patatas Bravas<\/a> for four very different textures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then the meal can develop in stages. Start with tapas, order another plate when the first round disappears and add paella as the larger shared dish afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read our Tapas or Paella guide<\/a> if you want to decide how to split the meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Different nights need different restaurants. If you want a Spanish restaurant in the West End with shared food, a Soho location and the option of a quick pre-theatre meal or a longer dinner, Jamon Jamon is designed for that kind of evening.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n The Soho restaurant is about five minutes from Piccadilly Circus. That makes it easy to meet there before heading deeper into the West End.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more detail, see our restaurant near Piccadilly Circus guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Caxton Walk sits just off Charing Cross Road, placing the restaurant among the streets people already use for Soho, Leicester Square and West End theatre nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shared plates also work well when dinner is part of a date rather than the entire plan. Start with a few tapas, add a glass of wine or a cocktail and decide whether the evening continues elsewhere\u2014or downstairs at Jamon Jamon when an event is running.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA West End restaurant for pre-theatre dinner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
