You can then simply tap/swipe/insert your credit or debit card to pay. You’ll be given a buzzer that alerts you when your order is ready, so you can grab a seat while you wait.
Do you offer delivery or takeaways?
We don’t offer delivery at the moment, but watch this space! Some vendors will package your order in takeaway containers for you to enjoy at home. Feel free to ask.
Are the bars open at the same time as the kitchens?
Yup… good food needs a great drink! But please note that both the bars and kitchens close 30 minutes before the Market, so get your last orders in early.
