We went out to Proud Cabaret recently to watch the cabaret and enjoy a meal. Proud Cabaret is a chain of cabaret entertainment centres in London, and we had a voucher to visit the one in the City of London. This was handy considering we work in the City, and we went to Leadenhall Market beforehand to have some drinks before making our way to the venue.
The voucher included a meal, which we selected beforehand. I had a goat's cheese starter with beetroot, which I did not like as it was too heavy. However, the main dish and the dessert made up for it. We ordered wine, and the wine list is extensive and good quality. However, vegetable side orders needed to be ordered with the main course, and the wine and service charge was not included, so that was an extra cost on top of the voucher. The dessert I had was chocolate mousse, and it was the most delicious.
Proud Cabaret captures the feeling of the swinging 1920s with jazz and smoke machines to create the hazy atmosphere inside the venue. The girls were all dressed as a part of the show, and we had a friendly waitress. The acts were fairly good, but I felt that it could have been better, and some of them seemed to be quite short acts. The more interesting ones seemed to be shorter acts. A Saturday is probably a better day to go.
We also had amazing seats near the front of the stage, and it was a good night watching the acts and enjoying the food and entertainment.
