Studio 5ive Restaurant in Brent

We had a meal before attending a show. The atmosphere was lovely, staff friendly and efficient. Food arrived quickly and was perfect.

Strange experience. At the Initial greeting, we were made to feel like an inconvenience. Waited ages for food when the place was empty. Asked the waitress if vegetables were included, she said yes, they weren't. Pasta with tomato sauce, was very very sweet? Salmon was good and creme brulee was good. Expensive for what we got. Male waiter was nice.

Wonderful place to do supper before Starlight Express. It was especially easy to have a restaurant right in the very place of the show.

Booked pre theatre (adjoining) based on reviews and had a really lovely dinner here. Restaurant is really nice atmosphere, we sat in a lovely booth. Plenty of food choices and the food I had (samosas and the burger) were really good. Above all, the welcome and service throughout was excellent. Highly recommend.

I booked this restaurant for a pre-show late lunch for Starlight Express and enjoyed an excellent meal and great speedy service. The food was very tasty and there are set menus to choose from which is handy, too. I also liked the restaurant's design - love the blue colour. :) Your bag(s) get checked when entering - because later you can enter the Starlight Express venue directly from the restaurant and that's very handy - no queuing! Highly recommend and I would visit again.

Absolutely gorgeous meal. Too many highlights to mention, (prawns were incredible) vegan dessert needs a bit of work but everything else was sumptuous - the sticky toffee 😋🤤. We' d been excited about the live music, and it was an excellent jazz singer, but it started just a short time before we were due in the theatre so we only heard a few songs hence the 4 stars for atmosphere. The staff were attentive, friendly and skilled without being intrusive, and the pre theatre menu felt great value for money for a delicious meal.

Called in here before we attended Starlight Express. The experience was first class. The service was fast and efficient. Our waitress, Tam , was excellent. The meals we had, rib steak, sea bass and the burger were very good. I could not fault the restaurant. Thank you for a very enjoyable meal. As a bonus the restaurant has a direct link to the theatre and the show was amazing

I hesitated between 2 and 3 stars. I went with 2 because there was nothing particularly satisfactory about our experience here and I wouldn't go back and wouldn't recommend anyone to go either. We had booked the pre-theatre meal thinking it would be the perfect solution to be in no rush for the theatre and catering for adults and children. One of the children's meals was advertised as fish and chips. It came with no chips!! Just veg - which my veg-averse 6 year old was delighted with :-( We asked for the chips and they came just as we were finishing our main courses! My daughter had the pasta with tomato sauce which was actually inedible. I don't know how that is even possible. I ended up sharing my chicken and chips with her. We had asked for normal chips but they were a bit spicy too (not great for my kids). The adults meals of chicken and beef were fine - not great but edible at least. Then they brought us a bill when I had paid in advance (surely this was registered on the booking for the table??). But the real cherry on the cake was the fact that we had got in there at 5.40pm (our table was booked for 6pm but thankfully we arrived early) and only just made it for the last call for the theatre and had to run to make it to our seats. An absolute farce.

We really enjoyed our lunch at Studio Five and it was a great place to eat before seeing Starlight Express. The staff were really friendly and professional, and the food was excellent. I also thought the set menu was really reasonably priced given the location. I would definitely eat here again if I was seeing something in the Wembley area.

We saw the 2.30pm Starlight performance then walked through the corridor into Studio Five, very convenient too. We’d booked a 5.30 table, could’ve made it 5pm actually. Anyhoo, family of 6, we all really enjoyed it alot and the staff were great. Lovely environment. Foodwise: The pressed ham hock starter was good; as were the king prawns. The roasted half chicken cafreal with the chilli fries was excellent. Fish n chips, and burger all went down well too. Kids enjoyed their food too. But I’ve gone with 4 stars for food because of the pudding which, the ginger sticky toffee pudding was disappointing: I think it was a microwave job, the bowl was warm but the pudding not and it was an odd somewhat cold hard spongy congealment covered with sauce and ice cream. The Creme brûlée on the other hand was lovely. So overall recommended. We would definitely go there again though. It was a great way to conclude our Starlight Express experience.

We ate at Studio 5ive before seeing Starlight Express. The service was efficient but friendly, the food was tasty and good quality, and overall it was good value. Would recommend 😊

Great value fantastic food attentive staff

We had an amazing lunch at Studio 5 before watching Starlight. The food was delicious - fantastic flavours and beautifully cooked and presented. The staff couldn’t have been more lovely - attentive, friendly and efficient. Great atmosphere and really lovely touches for the kids with the Halloween mocktail and menu that turned into a train. Definitely recommend!

Excellent start to a great evening of entertainment

We were booked in at Studio 5 for lunchtime on Wednesday 23rd October at 12.45pm. At 12.04pm we received an email to confirm that our table had been cancelled with no reason for the cancellation. We were very disappointed, but looked for somewhere else to eat before going to watch the show of StarLight Express. We arrived home that evening and we were notified that due to US cancelling our table, we had been charged on our credit card £40.00 cancellation fee. Contacted Studio 5 on two occasions by email for our money to be refunded back to us and no one has bothered to reply . We are very upset that we are £40.00 out of pocket due to no fault of ours.

Came for a meal before Starlight Express. Really enjoyed it. Great staff and it's attached to the theatre so you can just go straight through.

This is a beautiful restaurant with amazing food and incredibly attentive staff. The live music is an added bonus and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Great service and ambience for a pre-show meal. Excellent quality and good choice of 2 or 3 course included options.

Unfortunately the waiter didn't know what was included in our prepaid pre dinner meal which meant we had to tell him. We sat with our starter plates on the table for 25 minutes before chasing them because we were running out of time to be at the performance. When our mains finally came it was without one of the sides and no cutlery was provided. My friend ate with a spoon in the end as we didn't have time to wait any longer. The singer who performed was excellent and the staff were very friendly. Just a shame the service was slow and not up to scratch

Ideal for a birthday celebration or a couples night out

exceptional restaurant. great food and friendly accommodating staff. we got a table as a walk-in before our evening show of Starlight, safest option is to pre-book though. would highly recommend. very good pricing and nice size portions. will definitely go again.

Our visit here prior to watching Starlight Express made the whole trip that extra bit special. The staff were amazing as well as the live singer entertaining us before and after the show. I would 100% recommend adding this pre and post show. The food was lovely and they had lovely touches like Starlight Express named cocktails to enjoy too! Lovely touch!

Delicious food with multiple vegetarian options. Perfect for a dinner before the Starlight Express

The kitchen was a bit slow but the food and the restaurant service more than made up for it.

Food was very good but my husband was limited to only one main since he cannot eat garlic. Luckily it was very good. We had said on the booking firm about the intolerance but next time we will contact them directly in advance.

The staff were helpful and professional. The food was amazing and yummy.

Really good food and generous portions. Not a place for a romantic meal out but perfect for a pre-show supper (with pudding served in the interval).

We had a pre show meal here, it was a little bit of a treat for my Fiancée for his 30th Birthday! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The food was good and it was a really nice chilled atmosphere, its was furnished so nicely it was modern and elegant but also cosy! The service was absolutely amazing. The girm serving us was so friendly, I don't know what her name was but she took time to chat to us and was very knowledgeable on the dishes and made some really good recommendations! Very friendly and a really lovely experience!

My friend and I visited yesterday for lunch prior to seeing Starlight Express. We had a very friendly welcome. We had a choice of menu between a la carte and a set menu. We chose the set menu, which was good value for money and portion size. I recommend the chicken. It was delicious. The meal was leisurely but the staff were attentive. A great start to our theatre experience. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Top quality service. Food was great too.

Quality of the food was average. Two of us ordered a plate of greens sautéed in garlic. I believe they were kale and very hard to chew. The flavor was good but they were too chewy. My friend ate one bite and no more. The menu is quite limited. The dining room is large and there were empty tables. We did not feel rushed. The service was slow. We asked to have everything brought out at the same time but that didn’t happen. We were a party of three, my friends are a couple and I am solo. Initially the waitress said she could make them a tab and mine on another. When it came time to pay the bill we were told they could only split it three ways. That is a made up rule. We were going to Starlight Express, coming from another country we fell for the follow up email to reserve dinner at Studio 5 as it is so close. Don’t fall for it as there are numerous restaurants within one block from which to choose. Pros - not rushed Cons - limited menu, splitting the bill issue, slow service, overpriced and inedible sautéed greens.

Given the price I was expecting better. I had the two course set menu (fish and chips and summer berry crumble). The fish was nice, the chips seemed like they were just frozen ones and there was about half a spoonful of mushy peas. You get charged a £5 supplement for the fish and chips, I assume because you get an additional side with the set menu. However none of the sides really go with the fish and chips so we paid £5 extra for nothing really. Surely just don’t charge the extra £5 and say that the fish and chips don’t come with an extra side as they already have sides. The fruit crumble was nice but cold as it had been sitting on the side a while before coming to the table. They charged us a £27 service charge when the service was slow and we asked three different people for the bill. The only real positives were the staff who were very nice, the cocktails and it being so close to the theatre. We only went because we went to the theatre and we aren’t local to the area so didn’t really know where else to eat. If you do know other places I would suggest you go there, other wise you are paying expensive prices for less than average food!

If only we lived nearer! Food and staff were excellent, had the 3 course after show menu and cocktails. Only very small negative, cocktail was described as coming with blackberries, but actually turned up with raspberries and summer berry crumble was mainly apple🥴😪

Our first visit here was great. We had a pre-show dinner which was very good and had excellent service. We had to leave before the live music started unfortunately. Would be happy to recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a decent pre-show dining experience.

Fabulous food & service. Only little disappointment was the summer berry crumble, which was mainly apple, which my partner cannot eat😪

Natasha was an absolute star. Best waitress I have had in a long time

Lovely place , great food, efficient and friendly service.

Staff were very attentive and friendly and the food was delicious. Thank you!

What a fantastic meal, went with my wife, we had the pressed ham hock & king prawns to start followed by the cheek of beef with hand cut chips and green vegetables . It was all perfectly cooked. The beef was not stringy as slow cooked beef can be at times. The service we received was attentive and efficient. A perfect place to eat before your show. The Chapel Down Grand Reserve is a lovely wine. I wish I had took some photos of the food.

The mussels I had were very gritty, the burger my granddaughter had was a disgrace the chicken I had was badly presented as there was nothing with it apart from a bowl of "weedy stuff" the chicken wasn't great anyway. The fries were ordered for as a starter and had to be asked for again. There was no menu or drinks list on our table. The cocktails took forever to be served. My granddaughter works part time in a lovely restaurant ( similar prices to yours for much better food and nicer presentation) she was horrified at the slovenly way that your staff were behaving all over Studio 5, and the lady that gave us our table could not have been more disinterested at our arrival at 5-15 yesterday ( 5th September)

We came straight from "Starlight Express" into Studio Five for a family meal: - great food; served promptly; staff were excellent; the band providing 'background' music were also excellent: all in all, a super night out for our family. Thanks to everyone at Studio Five.

Ideal for Troubador Theatre; part of the complex. Everything was good, but the welcome was muted. After that service was excellent.

Enjoyed a really tasty meal. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Post, show Meal, it was my birthday booked the table booked the show staff were lovely. Food was incredible. Music was great thank you so much.

A exceptional meal, and service. Ideal for a pre, or post meal if attending the adjoining theatre.

Very impressed with the food here! The grilled prawn starter might be some of the best prawns I’ve had and the combination of flavours was incredible on the fish and chips and the spicy fries in particular - don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy normal fish and chips again after having them here! The service from the staff was impeccable throughout our meal and we will certainly be visiting again.

Food was excellent. The seabass was perfectly cooked... but the menu says it comes with salad. It doesn't. It only comes with corriander. It needs to say just seabass.

The ambiance is fantastic, the restaurant is clean, and the food is delicious. The service is prompt and the waitstaff are excellent. The prices are reasonable, and the place is new and well-maintained.

The food was ok, a few extra touches and it would have been much better. The service was a bit slow but they were very friendly. The disappointing part was a singer and the band. We were looking forward to the life music. I think she didn’t start until 7:45 and supposed to start much earlier. Then many and long breaks when customers were dining. I do know they need a break but I thought they weren’t interested in entertaining the guests.

Excellent late lunch, staff very friendly and polite.

We booked for a Pre-performance meal prior to seeing Starlight Express. All I can say is the food and service were excellent and set the scene for a fabulous performance at the theatre. Thank you guys, you deserve the 5 stars.

£22 for fish and chips and they couldn't provide tartar sauce or vinegar. Poor.

Went here prior to seeing the show Starlight Express. The restaurant was themed for the show which added to the whole experience, there was also the bonus that you can access the theatre from inside the restaurant cutting out the whole queue for the theatre too! Bonus! The menu and food was lovely along with the friendly staff who we had a long chat to. The restaurant itself is large and spacious, no steps for access which is good, so wheelchair accessible. Comfortable seating and a great atmosphere made for a decent experience. Based on this visit, would totally recommend especially as an add on before a show.

Fantastic restaurant, gorgeous food with excellent service. Front of house is very friendly and the chefs are very good.

We booked up as part of our Starlight Express tickets and it was bang on! Welcoming staff weren’t great but the table service, food, top show tips were second to none! So glad we bought a package and enjoyed some live music in the bar after the show. Special thanks to Caitlin for the hospitality ❤️

Dined early before Springsteen concert, very good standard of food and service, lovely atmosphere

Was looking for somewhere before the theatre where we could book seating, and this fit the bill. The venue is pleasant, very convenient, and some nice English sparkling wine on the list. The food was disappointing and service was slow and erratic. Items requested were brought slowly or not at all ("we've run out", I was told, after asking again after waiting for 15 minutes for water). I had the boneless Sea Bass which did have bones, and wasn't very tasty. The Fish and Chips was also poor. Also watch out for the set menu which costs more than ordering some items separately! I would look elsewhere if visiting again.

Great food and table service was excellent despite original welcome at the door was a little frosty. (Maybe she was having a bad day!) Minor order issue was sorted very quickly and there was a subsequent reduction in the final bill.

We visited after seeing Starlight Express. Mixed age group we all enjoyed the food and the ambience. Allergies catered for without fuss. Good quality food.

Nice place, good food but somewhat overpriced for what we got (burger £15 + £5 for chips) no garnish and only onions in the burger. Hostess didn't exactly greet us and didn't even look up when speaking to find out about our reservation. I thought she was pretty rude given the job is to welcome people. The waiter on the other hand was very friendly, helpful and attentive

Great place for meal before or after the show. Good value set menu.

Lovely pre-theatre meal, mid afternoon. Food was delicious, and we were not rushed. Staff very pleasant.Nice atmosphere.

Fantastic food- the prawns in particular were huge and delicious, as were all the excellent and set meal is good value. Ideal if you are going to Starlight Exoress as links straight into theatre.

Delicious food, delightful staff. Incredibly helpful too. Chicken delicious Slightly spicey. Same for fish and chips. Burger was scrummy and the spicey prawns were judged first rate.

A first! A lovely experience. Our waitress very knowledgeable and lovely personality. We dined before the show which made it so relaxed. We went for the set menu which was excellent value

Excellent service. Food was delicious. Service was outstanding. Perfect place to done before Starlight

Great atmosphere, food was nice but everything was covered in coriander or parsley so be aware if you don't like these! Plan for just under an hour for 2 courses, slightly over for 3

Amazing food - both our main meals were beautifully cooked and the desserts were delicious! Staff we're super friendly and the fact we could walk straight through to the Troubadour Theatre from the restaurant was a plus!

We had dinner here before the show, we were late because of the traffic we were able to email them and they did keep our table for us, there was no phone number to contact them which we thought was strange.We all had the fish and chips of the main menu I can only describe it as over priced canteen food at £22 a pop. Fortunately the show made up for the bad food it was amazing !!

We went as a pre-show meal and were rather disappointed based on the good reviews it had. The food was fine, although not really to my taste. It was a fusion menu, but didn’t really fuse and the choices were very limited. There were a few tables around us who seemed to send food back, and lots of plates going back still with food on, so it seemed like we weren’t alone. The service was also fine. There were a couple of staff members who very clearly didn’t want to be there, and would complain to one another when they got back to the bar area, which was also quite off putting. Considering the cost, I expected quite a lot more.

Great pre show meal. Always wonderful service, Natasha was very attentive . Lovely well cooked and presented food and a varied choice on the menu. Starlight Express themed cocktails got us in the mood for the show!

Amazing food, varied menu and a lovely atmosphere. Can't wait to go back!

Really enjoyed the pre-show dinner at Studio Five. Great service, food and atmosphere. Perfect start to a wonderful evening at Troubadour Theatre.

Lovely environment, well themed for the starlight express pre show experience. Great service, friendly and welcoming staff. Delicious Food.

This is a good place to go before a show to eat. Staff are lovely and friendly, food is good to and not very expensive for Greater London. Worth booking before you go as it gets busy.

Great food, slightly different and exciting. BUT we went for a pre show dinner and although we got stuck in traffic and arrived 30 minutes late we still had 1.5 hours before the show. Drinks were wrong - they served me an alcohol instead of alcohol free beer! Food was wrong but didn't have time to send the main course back when it eventually arrived 20 minutes before curtain up. The atmosphere is good and it's all brand new - 2 weeks old! - and shiny. But the service is really bad. Would I recommend it? If you have time and are not seeing Starlight Express then probably yes I'd give it another chance. But if you're planning to see the show arrive 2.5 hours before it starts and be prepared to send things back!!!

Set menu online looked ok so we pre booked a table. Seated quickly on arrival. Then the issues started: 1. Took a long time to order our drinks & food 2. When the food arrived, it varied very much in meal size - fish & chips were just thrown on plate and far too many fries. The beef shin, although tasty, consisted of two small bits of meat. No option to have roast/ new potatoes, only fries or croquettes. 3. The fish in "lightly spiced" batter tasted awful. I couldn't eat it. 4. We then waited about 20 mins for our table to be cleared, and another 10 for dessert order to be taken. 5. A waiter came out with desserts, but gave one to the table next to us. My husband then had to wait another 10 mins for his dessert. 6. Lastly, another 15 minute wait to attract the attention of someone to pay our bill. Had we not be in a hurry to get to the show in time, we would have made a complaint and asked for the 12.5% gratuity that is automatically added, to be removed. All in all a dreadful experience.

Great meal with friendly service. The prices are obviously London prices but it's worth it for convenience when visiting the troubadour theatre.

Went there for pre-theatre dinner on Friday. So convenient becuase its inside the Troubador itself. Lovely restaurant, food was divine and the staff (especially Paddy) so polite and courteous. I really can't recommend this place enough, you won't be disappointed and its not expensive either.

I ate here with some friends on opening night and the atmosphere was incredible. the restaurant has a great buzz with excellent live music - you may also spot the occasional celebrity. cannot wait to come back to check out other musical acts they have lined up! the food was great too, thank you Studio Five for a memorable night out and we can't wait to come back soon

We were there for the opening night of Starlight Express so the restaurant was very busy and food orders were rather slow to be processed. But the waiting staff were very attentive, keeping us informed. The food was very tasty though the vegetarian menu was motlsy of fried food so was a bit heavy. Definitely consider visiting again if I'm seeing a show at the Troubadoue Theatre.

Great family friendly meal, kids loved colouring in and making the origami menus! Delicious food and great service.

We ate here before going to see Starlight Express and had a great meal. We had the pre theatre dinner which was brilliant value and very tasty. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. Will definitely go back again.

Quick service, beautiful food and reasonable prices. Would recommend the fish and chips. Nice decor and atmosphere

Gorgeous fresh food with super generous portions and service from Tina was fantastic from start to finish. Definitely recommend this restaurant it’s our second time

Lovely food and great service 🤍

Lovely atmosphere and good food.

Very nice food, Alina our waitress was very friendly, explainned everything and very polite

Outstanding experience. So often a theatre restaurant is overrated and underwhelming but this was a great experience to complement a fab show. Highly recommend!

Tina is friendly and helpful. Thank you!

We were delighted with every choice we made. Everything was tasty, hot and delicious. Stay were lovely. Ideal if seeing a show

Brilliant food and lovely service. An enjoyable pre show lunch and now desert in the interval - Thank you

Very good pre-Theatre meal with kids. We went for the express option, good choices, came very quickly. Food OK and service exceptional. We could then go straight through to the theatre, using the restaurant toilets first to beat the queues.

Really great food that tasted as if a chef had freshly prepared it, and the service was friendly. All six of us enjoyed our dining experience. My 14 year old said it was the best burger he's ever had! My fish was a very delicate flavour.

Had dinner here prior to seeing Newsies at the Troubadour Theatre. Food was excellent, service was great and the prices were reasonable. Would definitely visit again. Thanks!

Great food - proper restaurant quality - at a very reasonable price. Friendly service too from Tina.

Really relaxed friendly and efficient place to eat. I’m vegetarian and was impressed by the aubergine dish.

Excellent food, fresh and great options. Great quality Great service by all staff, friendly atmosphere

A great place for pre show dinner, friendly staff and great food at a very good price.
