The Café

  • Menu

Here for early risers, matinee-goers, last-minute snackers and everything in between.

Think barista-made coffee, the best bakes, crisp seasonal salads and sandwiches stacked fresh.

Perfect for a quick stop or a proper pause, whatever your plans.

When we're open

We’re open most of the time the building is – but not always right to the end.

  • On non-show days, we usually close around 30 minutes before the building closes.
  • On show nights, we close up just after the interval
