The Workers' Food Room

  • Takeaway
  • Seating area

The Workers' Food Room is staffed by workers who have a passion for fresh food and coffee.

Grab yourself some dips, an antipasto platter of treats, or one of the many salads on offer. The sandwiches and wraps are excellent and the flatbread cooked in the wood-fired oven is another cracker.

It's also a great place for vegetarians, vegans, and the gluten intolerant.
