Enjoy a Pre-Theatre Dinner in Oxford for £18

Theatre tickets booked? Dinner doesn’t need to be the expensive part of your evening.

With Megan’s by 7, you can enjoy two courses for just £18, Monday to Friday from 5–7pm — perfectly timed for an early pre-theatre dinner in Oxford.

Our menu is filled with Eastern Mediterranean-inspired dishes, from crispy, comforting starters to colourful mains.

Start with buttermilk fried chicken and date BBQ sauce or falafel & harissa hummus, before moving onto one of our signature open kebabs, a chilli chicken shakshouka kebab, colourful mezze bowl or fresh grilled chicken Greek salad.

And if you’re firmly on team dessert, choose a main followed by something sweet instead.

Save Room for Dessert

A trip to the theatre calls for a little treat.

Finish your pre-show dinner with a warm chocolate brownie, raspberry & coconut loaf or our indulgent Nutella & sea salt cookie.

Two courses, £18 and still plenty of time to make the curtain. Sounds like a very good evening to us.
