Pavilion Café and Kiosk

The Pavilion Café is in our DH Lawrence Pavilion and offers a beautiful view of the lake.  

Here you’ll find a variety of delicious cakes, speciality teas and coffees plus a range of breakfast and lunch options. We have plenty of indoor seating, plus high chairs are available. 

If you’re on the go, stop by the Pavilion Kiosk. Grab a coffee, enjoy the range of snacks and sandwiches for on-the-go, or make the most of our outdoor seating. 

If you’re joining us for an evening event you’ll be to enjoy drinks and snacks ahead of the event. If you’d like to enjoy a pre-show meal before an evening event then we simply ask that you book a table at least three days in advance. Pre-show meals can be booked via Lakeside’s Box Office.

Opening times: 
Monday – Friday: 8am-4pm

*For evening events the Pavilion Café is open from 5.45pm until the interval or 7.30pm, whichever is latest.
