Barbican Kitchen

Located on the ground floor, Barbican Kitchen is your all-day destination for fresh, delicious food in a bright and inviting space.

Start your day with a barista made coffee and pastry selection, refuel with a quick lunch, or settle in for a hearty meal to enhance your evening at the Barbican. From freshly prepared toasted sandwiches and build-your-own salads to hand-stretched pizzas and a rotating selection of hot specials and street food, there’s something for every occasion. And for those with a sweet tooth, our cakes and pastries are always on hand.

As evening arrives, unwind with a glass of wine or a cold beer and explore our selection of tapas and mezze dishes – perfect for sharing, pre-show dining, or a relaxed meal. With its airy interiors and easy access to the Lakeside Terrace, Barbican Kitchen is the perfect spot to enjoy at any time of day.

Benugo believe in sourcing responsibly, working closely with trusted British suppliers to bring the best quality ingredients to our kitchen. From hand-selected meats and fresh fish to thoughtfully crafted vegetarian, vegan and halal dishes, our menu reflects a commitment to flavour, sustainability, inclusivity and authenticity.

Allergens and Gluten free

We understand how challenging it can be when you have specific food allergies or are unable to eat gluten. When you visit us, please be sure to consult with our allergen champions on-site who will be happy to adapt dishes or explain how they are made for you, to help you make a decision about what you would like to eat. Our allergen champions are fully trained and have information available that details all the allergens in food served that day. If you ask any member of staff, they will be able to locate the allergen champion for you.

At the Barbican Kitchen, every salad, sandwich and hot food item that you see is made on-site; and every cake is made either on-site or in our London bakery. This means we can guarantee the quality of our products, but it also means that we make everything in regular commercial kitchens. Unfortunately, these are also kitchens that handle gluten containing ingredients every day.

We make a lot of products without gluten - cakes, sandwiches, salads and many other things. We try our best to avoid cross contamination, but because they are made in kitchens that handle gluten, we can’t declare our products as ‘gluten free’. Only products sampled and guaranteed as having less than 20ppm of gluten in them can be labelled as ‘gluten free’. It’s because we make our products by hand that whilst we don’t include gluten, we cannot guarantee through sampling that we will meet this exceptionally low level.

We hope this reassures you that we take allergen awareness seriously and look forward to welcoming you to the Barbican.
