Food & Drink
Our light and airy Riverbank Kitchen is open pre-show for delicious homemade suppers and drinks. Your table will be just a few steps from your seats in the auditorium, so there's no need to rush or worry about missing curtain up.
Menus may vary according to the show, so check to see what's available for your visit by clicking the box in the right hand column. You can also find links here to pre-order your pre-show food and drinks, and to book a table.
By day, there's plenty of space for everyone, from families with buggies to social groups and those looking for a peaceful spot to work - with great coffee and our amazing cakes, all made in-house.
Why not treat yourself, and your friends, to a perfect afternoon tea, featuring the classic line up of dainty sandwiches, selection of cakes and, of course, scones and clotted cream. You can make it a real occasion by adding a glass of Greyfriars English sparkling wine. Our afternoon teas are available for pre-order, by clicking the top box, opposite, and as a take away option.
