Basically, I'm heading off to watch The Faulty Towers play on Saturday.  Now I'm looking for a bite to eat for lunch before the show.  As the Apolo Theatre is right night China Town, can anyone recommend any good places to eat in the area?

    If you like Dim Sum as it'll be lunchtime - Gerrards Corner is pretty good - you'll find it (surprisingly) on the corner of the main China town street. (And it's Fawlty!)

    Not in Chinatown itself (but very close by) is Speedboat, a great Thai restaurant

    Has anyone tried Blacklock in Soho?  I've seen a video from the food channel I follow recommending it.  It seems just up the road from the theatre.
