Quick info
About Eat Me Cafe
Eat Me Cafe is a cafe set inside the Stephen Joseph Theatre, serving breakfast, global lunches and an Asian-influenced evening menu across an eighteen-dish menu. The kitchen runs an industrial-style room and takes walk-ins rather than bookings. Dishes span Crispy Togorashi Cauliflower and Gamja alongside Hot Smoked Salmon & Mackerel, Martins Flat Iron Steak and Campo De Funghi, with ramen offered in vegan and chicken versions. A custom beef burger and home made meatballs sit on the menu too. Tables are spaced generously apart, and the cafe is dog friendly. It can get busy, with a wait for a table at peak times such as Friday evenings.

“I rarely write reviews but really felt that this café deserves a recommendation. Firstly the Stephen Joseph theatre is a lovely building. It's great to see a beautiful Art Deco cinema restored and turned into wonderful performance space (plus still utilising it as a cinema as well). Now, onto the food. The Eat Me café is a real treat. The menu isn't huge but the options available are very varied and can easily cater for all tastes. We've had a couple of meals there now and they've both been superb. Enough food to satisfy and very reasonably priced. The staff are all lovely and happy to help and nothing is too much trouble. I would definitely recommend eating here if you want a good meal without breaking the bank. Sadly we're just visiting and I wish this place was on our doorstep as we'd be here regularly if it was. Give it a go. You won't regret it.”

“Eat Me Cafe is a fantastic spot with an exciting, varied menu that really does offer something for everyone. The food and drinks are consistently delicious, and everything feels freshly prepared and well thought out. Service is excellent too—friendly, attentive, and efficient without being intrusive. Overall, it’s a great place for a relaxed meal or catch-up, and definitely worth visiting.”

“I had an outstanding experience at this restaurant. The variety of vegan dishes was genuinely impressive — creative, flavourful, and clearly made with high‑quality ingredients. Every plate felt thoughtfully put together, and it was refreshing to see a menu that didn’t treat vegan food as an afterthought. The service was just as memorable: friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling intrusive. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel looked after from the moment you walk in. I’ll definitely be returning.”

“Really lovely place in the Stephen Joseph theatre. Great atmosphere and cool eclectic decor mixed with modern. Planty of vegan options and delicious food. I went there twice that’s how good it was. First time I had a vegan ramen 🍜 and loved it. Second time I had a vegan bento box 🍱. While it looked good it was slightly different to my expectations. The rice wasn’t Japanese sticky and the tempura was just carrot with way too much batter. However the tofu and the sauce were good, and the drinks so tasty and pretty ! Staff were really nice and made us feel very welcome!”
