Josephine’s
** Please note we are changing our opening times and a major change to our menus from mid September, the following is valid until that date, subject to stock availability**
Located directly opposite the stunning Theatre Royal, Josephine’s is a delightfully intimate and elegant restaurant. We open from 9am* and serve breakfast, with our Eggs Benedict and Full English Breakfasts setting the highest standards. All enjoyed with a choice of 35 finest loose leaf teas (we also do Nespresso coffee)
Lunch and Brunch through to 5pm (8pm some nights) take in everything from traditional dishes such as Lasagne, homemade fishcake, Chilli con Carne, and of course our legendary Afternoon Tea. We also offer hearty homemade dishes such as Thatcher’s Pie (Cottage Pie with Roasties instead of mash) and a Cumberland sausage casserole.
Although we make a lot of things ourselves, we have no problem buying in the best of the best. From top quality pies and quiches, to award winning products from Owen Taylor. Pies made by a small independent family producer and of course our own dishes made on our premises. Josephine’s is about the best traditional dishes presented and served in a classic style.
From mid September 2024 :
For the past couple of years we have tried to open up in the evenings for the general restaurant market, mainly based on customers asking us if we are open in the evenings. However, as you may have noticed with the likes of World Service, Loch Fyne, Wildwood, Le Petit Paris, Paris and others all closing, this sector is quite literally on it’s knees for an array of reasons. Because Josephine’s is more convenient for the Theatre, it’s only when the theatre has great shows on that it is becomes viable for us to open in the evening, and sometimes even great shows don’t attract enough customers. Because of this, we have decided to revert back to being primarily a Tea Lounge, Coffee Bar and Cafe. This means we will be opening much earlier, and closing earlier (times to be confirmed but likely 8am to 5pm). We will still be offering breakfast and lunches but increasingly more lighter lunches, pastries, cakes, brunch, etc and of course Afternoon Tea!. However, we will open specially for selected pre-theatre evenings with a special evening set menu. Our booking system will be updated to reflect the evenings we are opening.
So no need to panic, we have no intention of falling by the wayside but in order to be a viable business, we will need to be open more in the day and target the coffee shop chains, we will also be having a move around internally to enable us to have a lot more seating, with wifi for guests and potentially accommodate larger groups.
more details to follow in due course!
