“Before even considering anything else nearby, Chinatown is my go-to pre-theatre. The past few embarrassingly late nights out have resulted, inevitably, in the reliable embrace of Noodle and Beer – but it’s also good earlier in the evening. While, yes, you can get your hands on a Kirin Ichiban (yum) or a Sapporo (also yum), the wine list is particularly fun. Compiled by critic and consultant Douglas Blyde, you could order half a bottle of Gosset alongside your handcut noodles.

There’s also rosé from urban London winery Blackbook Winery.”
