Rose Theatre Café

Spacious café within the Rose Street Theatre with all day brunching available.

The 2019/20 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

Squashy red sofas and an eclectic mix of ex-prop tables give a green room feel to the café at the Rose Street Theatre. Fairy lights, neon signs and theatre posters adorn the walls, while a piano invites spontaneous performances. An all-day brunch menu serves staples like avocado on toast and full breakfasts, plus a flexible selection of breakfast rolls which come on fresh bread with eggs that are still satisfyingly gooey in the middle. Their daily soup pairs well with a crisp toastie: peppery carrot and coriander soup warms, while the homemade kale pesto in the cheddar and tomato toastie adds a refreshing pop. To finish, tangy raspberry jam is the ideal accompaniment to fresh scones. Call in for lunch or a coffee and maybe you’ll be treated to a spontaneous piano rendition or impromptu line reading.
