2 food concessions with rear feed Flexeserve heated displays and flexible cookines, able to cater for multiple menu options.

2 bars and a central destination bar, with bottle coolers and gantries. The brushed stainless worktop with black powder coated frame work results in a hard-wearing commercial grade finish that looks great as a front of house bar. The 17 metre destination bar, houses front counter beer and soft drink delivery and the rear counter allows for speed pour beer with a pass-through section, as well as further Flexeserve hot display holding for a versatile hot food offer.

A dedicated crew kitchen to allow visiting acts to cater for production and entertainment staff. The room allowed for multiple service points to supply any cooking equipment the visiting catering teams bring with them.

VIP Kitchen and bar featuring it’s own coldstore, MKN and Rational cookline, Meiko dishwash section, hot and cold pass and a stills section for bulk brew coffee. This space allows the operator the flexibility to deliver to the muli-use conference space adjacent the kitchen and to the VIP balcony seating in the area simultaneously during events. The allows the operator to maximise their output during busy events and also cater for anything from small meetings to large conferences.
