I’ve known about Proud for a long time and I haven’t been before due to the price. My fiancé and I chose to come for our end of year date night as a treat and we left feeling really disappointed.
Firstly, the booths we were shown to were tiny with very little leg room or table space - we spent the evening moving items from our table due to the lack of space and generally feeling quite uncomfortable. I didn’t see the space restriction highlighted anywhere when booking (and apologies if this was missed), but we would have certainly upgraded had we known about this. This wasn’t a great start and certainly didn't make us feel very special!
I don’t believe the food and service on the night reflected the price of the tickets or the 15% service charge we paid. We had multiple staff members repetitively ask us what package we were on, how many courses we were having and if we wanted a drink when we’d already ordered one - the staff seemed like they hadn’t been trained and hadn’t been informed about the event.
I wasn’t able to find the menu on the booking confirmation or online before attending the event, so I didn’t know what we were going to be eating. We also weren’t told what each course was, when it was quickly thrown onto the table in front of us. There was no organisation to the food service and tables around us were getting food whilst we sat waiting. For our meal, there was at least an hour in between starters and mains being served and as the ham starter was very small, we were then starving by the time mains finally arrived. The Christmas dinner main course was dry and cold and really disappointing after waiting that long. The dessert was the nicest part of the meal, but it was served late and right at the end of the show, so it felt like we were rushing it. Further to this, after opening your doors at 6:30pm, we and the table next to us were told that you’d run out of all beer and lager by 7:30pm with a full night still ahead.
Finally, I feel that the marketing for the show itself was misleading. It was promoted as an 'All Stars' show, but there were more 'filler' acts than big performances. The quality of the show wasn't necessarily the issue, it just wasn't what we expected from an 'All Stars' show.
After paying £380 for our tickets, our total bill on the night came to £550 - a very expensive night out for anyone! We reached out to your team privately out of respect, but as I’ve still not heard back from you, I am happy to leave the review here as well.

Drinks were quite pricey £48.00 for a supermarket £9.00 bottle of Prosecco . Small bottle Carlsberg £6.50! The gents toilet were dark and not as clean as I would have expected. The compère was excellent as was the music. The food was acceptable.
I would go again.

The show was alright, there was a lot of kinky fun. Don’t get a table near the stage if you don’t want to be picked on by the artists 😂 The service and the staff was absolute no no👎🏻. Everyone was so stressed and rude. They were plenty of them so why stress. Terrible attitude as well. It ruined the night where we came to celebrate a birthday. Real shame.
First the positive: 10/10 amazing show and performances! Absolutely enchanting and so sexy, it made it such a memorable night for me!
Negatives: the food straight up gave both me and my boyfriend food poisoning, we were violently ill the next day. I ended up being sick in the middle of the tube station. We got the 5 course meal, the first dish was some meat and bread and the bread was extremely hard, I didn’t bother trying to chew it after the first bite. Then the turkey dish (we were there on American thanksgiving day, Nov 23rd) had a really old stale tasting meatball that I presume was what made us both sick. The salmon was delicious and dessert was great.
We also were ignored by our server when we wanted to order a second round of cocktails, so we asked someone else if we could order with her, she said yes and then forgot to tell our server what we wanted. I do understand that you shouldn’t ask people who aren’t your server, but our server legitimately hadn’t come by and the show was over halfway thru. It was not super crowded, there were several empty tables.
Overall I highly recommend this place to see the performance, and maybe skip the food because that’s not what you’re there for anyway.

Had a gorgeous time at proud cabarets new disco show last Tuesday! Wow!! The performers were all so incredibly talented! The singer and host Amy was so lovely and hilarious and so sultry and seductive in her performances I couldn’t help but admire! There was fire, hair swinging in the air, a ballroom couple and so much more!!
A great place for any celebration. The show was brilliant. The 5 course meal was delicious. Staff super friendly and sexy. The dance club after the show was amazing with the DJ playing aww one music
Really great evening here, the flirty dancing show was great! Nice mix and quality performers. Food was nice, took a while to come & portions could have been bigger. Drinks were quite expensive but other than that a really great way to spend an eve!
The show is excellent! I can’t fault it. The host, Aiden Sandler is funny, irreverent and a great singer. The performers are all extremely talented: I was lucky to see the amazing Jake DuPree’s last London performance before they returned to the US. The waiting staff are excellent and the food is good. The booking process is a bit of a shambles- we had standard tickets which included a 2 course meal. However the server insisted we didn’t and would have to pay £40 per head for our meal. I showed her my booking and she got the manager. This took 15 minutes. Eventually they agreed that our food was included. Later another manager asked to see my booking email again and screenshotted it, which made me feel like they still didn’t believe me. At the end the drinks bill had 15% service charge which was on the entire booking price. I reduced it to 10% because of all the hassle, and gave the money saved directly to the server, who was lovely. Adding 15% to the £152 ticket price I’d already paid feels underhand to me.
But hey - it is what it is. It didn’t detract from the great performances, and very enjoyable evening!
