Th'eatery restaurant opens in The Festival Theatre with Barry Bryson The Festival Theatre has made life a little easier for theatre-goers opening their own eatery within the foyer. Formerly Cafe Lucia, a new restaurant has opened with Th'eatery established by catering company Barry Bryson. Owner and chef Barry Bryson said: "As our day job is catering it is a nice way to do something with a slightly different perspective on food. We've done pop-up ventures in art venues and the chief executive of the Festival Theatre was in touch with us and we pitched our ideas on how to develop the cafe and identify any changes we would make. We were lucky enough to be selected and it's very much us finding our way with it. The restaurant offerings are not only open for the theatre shows as they offer all-day dining from 10am to 6pm. The Menu Daily dishes on the blackboard offer a range of soups, quiches and salads. Lunch plates include herb risotto, Scottish salmon on toast and an Isle of Mull Burger and the dinner menu features a pre-theatre deal. If you're looking for something a little lighter, their sharing boards are available at £6.50 per person with a range of Italian meats, olives and breads. Barry said: "At the moment, we plan to change the menu every four or five weeks. We stand for having fresh food only and we only use free range chicken and Scottish fish. We try to make the menu as creative as possible. Future Barry added: "We are very much a work in progress and we are trying to engage a larger audience. We're keen to make the restaurant comparable to other large arts venues food offering. We want to make it a treat for visitors, before people were wandering around the space but we're trying to put the service back into it. We want to make the cafe as good as the theatre.
