Planning your meal around showtime

With restaurants on Exchange Street, cafes on Long Lional and Great Western Street, and pubs around Market Square, you can usually keep journeys between your table and Aylesbury Waterside Theatre under a few hundred metres. When planning, decide first whether you want a sit-down restaurant, a quicker cafe-style stop or mainly a drink, then choose an area that matches: Exchange Street for restaurant chains and several mapped wheelchair-accessible venues, Long Lional and Great Western Street for coffee stops, and Market Square or High Street for traditional pubs and additional cafes. Because this guide cannot confirm opening hours, menu details or reservation policies, it is important to check those directly with your chosen place and to factor in walking time back to the theatre so you are seated before the performance starts.
