Food & Drink

We have joined forces with independent street food pioneers KERB to create a fresh food and drink experience on the South Bank.

Using their renowned network of street food start-ups and independent restaurateurs, KERB will curate an outstanding offering across our 11 spaces and restaurants. 

  • House is serving a delicious pre-theatre menu of great British cookery from Head Chef Joe Allen (BBC Million Pound Menu)
  • Terrace Restaurant and Bar is hosting a sixth month residency for BOB's Lobster at Terrace
  • The Understudy, The Atrium Café, and the Espresso Bar are all open
  • The riverside street food vendors have parked up for summer

Audiences for performances can now buy drinks at our bars with cashless payments only.

Sourced from local, great quality makers, all of our outlets now serve coffee from Elephant & Castle Hej, spirits from East London Liquor Company and beers from Gipsy Hill.

We will share more details of our reopening food and drink venues here, as refurbishment plans are confirmed.
