Food and Drink

Located in the foyer, The Drum Cafe and Bar is a fully licensed bar serving a range of hot and cold beverages, snacks, confectionery, muffins and biscuits.

The bar is the perfect place for a coffee and cake before a matinee performance or a glass of wine before an evening performance. And no visit to the theatre would be complete without an ice cream at interval. The bar is open one hour before every performance held in the theatre.

You can avoid the queues at interval by pre-ordering your interval drinks and confectionery before the performance. Simply visit the bar before the show, place your order and your requested items will be available immediately for collection from the bar at the start of interval. No waiting, no hassles – just the way a night at the theatre should be.
