Take Five Eatery & Coffee Bar is officially open!

Just over a week ago, we opened the doors to the brand-new space.

Not only does it now seat up to 70 people, but it’s perfectly located just off main reception, opposite Phoebe Elizabeth Beauty, with direct access to Studio 2 for events.

Over the past year the space has been transformed and modernised. The panelling has been handcrafted from refurbished scaffold boards, and the talented team, have built everything from the tables you sit at to the serving bar.

The Take Five catering team have developed a new menu and as the official taste testers, we can confirm: every dish is delicious.

What do you think of the finished result?
