Eating and drinking

Stained glass windows of the dress circle bar in Leeds Grand Theatre.
  • Our bars open one hour before the performance, serving a good selection of bottled beer, spirits, wine, soft drinks, tea and coffee, and snacks. Drinks can be taken into the auditorium to enjoy during the performance but must be decanted into plastic cups.
  • The Grand does not serve food but there are many cafes, bars and restaurants local to the venue that do.
  • We are also offering an in-seat refreshment service, whereby you can order food and drink via this ordering website, and your refreshments will be brought to you before the show or during the interval. Online orders will close when the show begins – you will then need to use the bars. Please ensure you double check where you are sitting in the auditorium when ordering so that our staff can find you as quickly as possible. QR codes taking you to this site can be found around the venue.
