The Theodore Bullfrog is a traditional British pub at 26–30 John Adam Street near Charing Cross. Its central location and welcoming rooms make it a useful meeting place for lunch, after work drinks, dinner or live sport. The kitchen serves familiar pub food with seasonal produce, supported by small plates and boards designed for groups.
Opening dishes include pork and apple Scotch egg, Cumberland sausage roll, tomato soup, smoked mackerel pâté, crispy baby squid and barbecue chicken wings. A ploughman’s board gathers cheese, pickles, bread and savoury pork dishes for sharing. Weekday sandwiches range from rump steak and chicken BLT to fish fingers or cheddar with hummus.
Large plates include cider battered haddock with chips, a short rib and brisket burger, Cumberland sausage, chicken schnitzel, Scottish salmon and dry aged rump steak. Garden risotto and a plant burger give vegetables a substantial place on the menu. Sunday roasts bring beef, chicken or nut roast together with potatoes, vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and gravy.
Eton mess, coconut panna cotta, affogato, ice cream and a British cheese plate provide several ways to finish. Young’s beer, wine, spirits and seasonal spritzes make the drinks list broad enough for both dinner and a casual round at the bar. Function menus and flexible upstairs spaces also support private gatherings and celebrations.
