1855 Bistro & Bar

Food Allergy & Intolerances

Renamed 1855 Bistro & Bar tying into the date the Mechanics first opened its doors. It feels that long ago since we were able to wine and dine customers in our fantastic bistro.

Open Tuesday to Saturday 11am-2:30pm and for pre-theatre dining two hours before most performances.  

This popular town centre bistro at The Mechanics Theatre offers a lunchtime oasis for shoppers, workers and groups of friends to meet in a cosy and relaxed space. A menu of British staples with some modern twists is served Tuesday to Saturday 11am-2:30pm in either the light and modern Front Room or cosy more intimate, Lounge Bar space. Classic, crowd-pleasing dishes such as fish and chips and steak in ale pie, sit alongside modern favourites on this fresh seasonal menu which also boasts, of course, our famous proper chips.

Show nights see this space turn into a wonderful pre-theatre dining experience for Burnley’s best night out! A pre-show meal is the perfect start to a great theatre experience; enjoy our special evening menu and relax with a few drinks, before taking your seat in the auditorium to be thoroughly entertained.
