We have a great selection of food and drink for you to enjoy while you watch the film.
Alongside the usual sweets and popcorn we also offer cheeseboards, nachos (with homemade salsa and pea guacamole!) olives, mixed nuts and crisps.
We also have a great selection of aloholic and non alcoholic drinks.

Table Service
Our table service was intended to be a temporary measure during the COVID 19 Pandemic and social distancing, but our audience loved the waiter service and the extended food and drinks menu so much that we decided to keep it!
When you visit The Magic Lantern, you will be directed straight to your seats where you will have your very own table. There you will find a menu with a huge range of drinks and snacks. A waiter will come and take your order and then deliver it to you.
While this is a lovely experience for the customers it is really hard work for our fabulous team, on busy showings they spend an hour literally racing around the building, taking orders, carrying trays, making cheeseboards, nachos and even cocktails! Please help them as much as you can by arriving in plenty of time (at least 20 minutes before the start time – more if you possibly can!) and wait patiently for them to come and take your order.
Everyone who arrives on time will be given a card to put on the table – this tells the waiter that you need to be served and so they will come to you. Even if they can’t keep track of the order you arrived, you will be served before the film starts.
If you arrive late you will unfortunately miss out on waiter service, and depending on how late you arrive, the bar and kitchen may be close. We will do our best to serve everyone, but we have to prioritise the people who arrived on time and ensure the film starts promptly.
The bar remains closed during the film to keep disruption to a minimum so make sure you order enough when your waiter takes your order.
No Plastic Policy
The Magic Lantern is committed to being as environmentally friendly as possible and has a no plastic policy. All our sweets and snacks are served in washable dishes, and our drinks are served in glasses.
If you wish to help us reduce our carbon footprint even further, you are welcome to bring your own mugs and drinking bottles and we will use these for your drinks.
