The Circle Lounge is our new space to share food with friends, family and loved ones just a few steps away from your seats in the auditorium. Join us before the show and make the most of your next visit to Birmingham Hippodrome with our tasty menus, private toilet facilities and dedicated waiter service throughout.
We’re open 90 minutes before main stage curtain up and you keep your table for the interval, so be sure to return for sweet treats.
Formerly our Circle Restaurant, The Circle Lounge is newly refurbished and features a brand-new dining concept by West Midlands based company Tutto Apposto. Headed by Chef Angelina Adamo, the menu of small plates is influenced by Angelina’s Mediterranean background and her family’s approach to sharing food and great memories around the table.
Join us during the day for Afternoon Tea alongside a matinee, or on an evening for our menu of sharing platters, small plates and sweet treats.
We aim to cater to all dietary requirements so please ensure to add a note to your booking if there’s anything we should be aware of. We have a range of high and low seating, so if you have any access requirements please let us know.
The team look forward to welcoming you.
