The Dining Room

Traditional Pub Grub

Head upstairs to our Dining Room, an open space washed in natural light through the summer months and warmed by the fire on evenings with a chill. The menu brings together traditional pub grub, familiar British comfort food and quality cuts.

Food is served from 12pm, with the Pre-Theatre menu served until 6pm Monday to Friday and the Roast menu served on Sunday only.

Though we welcome dogs with open arms and a pocket full of treats, they are not allowed in our dining room.

Served All Day Monday to Saturday
