At Open House, we’re showcasing the full flavour of the Schwarzman Centre. Everything is freshly prepared in the building by our in-house chefs, combining locally sourced quality ingredients with global inspiration. From £7.95 hot meals and family-friendly options to pre-show dining in the evening, our food is generous, accessible and welcoming to all.

Visit our café, coffee point and foyer bar for a range of options throughout the day.

Our kitchen will be open from breakfast through to dinner, with dishes that feel both familiar and distinctive. We believe in generous portions, fair prices and food that everyone can enjoy. Good food, like good ideas, brings people together.

In the afternoon, enjoy cakes and sweet treats or try our pre-theatre evening dining offer of £24.95 for a two-course set menu. Whether you’re dropping in for coffee or staying the whole day, there's something to tempt and satisfy you.
