The Swan Theatre stocks its the front of a house with the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and offers numerous refueling alternatives. We located its Riverside Cafe notably cheap and cheerful, imparting sandwiches, soups, desserts, and drinks. I was happy with the Kids’ Box meal deal, with a sandwich, a piece of fruit, and juice for £five.25, supplemented through pitta bread and hummus (£1.25), carrot and cucumber sticks (75p), and cheddar, celery, and pear chutney (which, at £1.50, changed into the luxurious hit of the day). The city center is on your doorstep, with alternatives to suit all budgets.
