Food and Drink

For food, the theatre has a rustic chic Bistro which serves heart warming food in a relaxed environment and friendly service. The Bistro strive to offer customers the perfect dining experience. On show nights the Bistro can be extremely busy so they highly recommend advance bookings as they cannot guarantee walk-ins will be served before the show starts. The Theatre Foyer Bar is a great place to meet up before the show for drinks in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. It is open to Theatre patrons 1 hour before curtain up and during the interval. To avoid the queues, you can pre-order your interval drink. A member of the bar staff will be happy to take your order before the show.
