An informal all-day restaurant serving fresh seasonal food. We have a love of all things creative, which is evident not only by what’s on our walls, but also in our approach to the food and drink we serve. South Bank is our home, London’s cultural hub, so there’s lots to explore either before or after you visit us.
Available Saturday and Sunday 12 – 4pm
Art Yard Bar & Kitchen has weekend brunch down to fine art, delicious food, free-flowing drinks, a creative setting, and a top location amongst the South Bank’s galleries, theatres, and cultural landmarks.
Drop in any time of the day and grab a bite. It will always be seasonal and fresh, whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner. Choose from big plates, small plates or plates to share, we’re not prescriptive.
Art’s not just in our name. It’s on our walls, you sit at it and on it. Lots of it has been especially created for us, some has been found on our designer Dayna Lee’s travels, most of it is Mid-Century. All of it generates an atmosphere that reflects what’s going on outside in our creative neighbourhood.
