Dinner before the show, done properly
Star of Siam is about a ten-minute walk from Theatre by the Lake — we open at 5:00 PM, Wednesday - Monday, which is exactly what a 7:30 curtain needs: time for a proper cooked-to-order Thai dinner and an easy stroll down Lake Road to the lakeshore.
Book a table for 5:00–5:45, tell us your curtain time, and the kitchen will pace the meal so you're never watching the clock.
A pre-theatre evening that works
- Book for just after opening — 5:00 PM on the dot if you like a relaxed pace, 5:30 if you're coming straight off the fells.
- Order confidently — starters like Chicken Satay or Veg Spring Rolls arrive fast, and any curry, stir fry or Pad Thai from the menu follows cooked fresh.
- Walk it off — ten minutes through town and down Lake Road, with Derwentwater opening up in front of you before the house lights dim.
Coming to a matinee, or eating after an early show instead? We serve until 9:00 PM — and if the night runs long, there's always takeaway to collect on your way home.
Good to know
How far is Star of Siam from Theatre by the Lake?
About a ten-minute walk. From 89 Main Street you head through the town centre and down Lake Road towards Derwentwater — the theatre sits by the lakeshore at the end.
What time should I book dinner before a 7:30pm show?
We open at 5:00 PM, so a table between 5:00 and 5:45 gives you an unhurried dinner and an easy walk down. Book online or call 017687 71444 — and tell us your curtain time.
Can the kitchen serve quickly before a show?
Yes — everything is cooked to order, so if you tell us you have a show the kitchen paces your courses to get you out on time without rushing your meal.
Are you near the Alhambra Cinema too?
Yes — the Alhambra on St John's Street is just a couple of minutes' walk from the restaurant, so we work for film nights as well as theatre trips.
Come and eat with us
