    Ideal for a light bite before the theatre. Stylish & modern with a lovely friendly atmosphere - thanks to the staff who are outstanding. We shared a selection of small plates all of which were delicious - we had checked out the menu online but no timings are recorded so we did think the sandwiches might have been available (only until 3pm) - perhaps adding the times to the online menu would be helpful. I have access needs so booked in advance - this is recommended as space on the ground floor is limited but the facilities are very good. I’m not often in this part of town but trips to the Playhouse now go hand in hand with a stop in Little Picardy and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.
