Eating and Drinking

The WaterShard Café has fabulous views across The Quays. With its light and spacious eating area, it's a relaxing place to take a break during your visit. You can sample one of our delicious cakes for a mid-morning or late afternoon snack, or enjoy a hot freshly prepared meal at lunchtime. We also serve salads and sandwiches along with a wide range of hot and cold drinks.

We offer family meals, including children's lunch bags, and high chairs and children's colouring sheets are available. Throughout the summer, IWM North's quayside is a great spot to relax in the open air, with ice creams and refreshments served daily.

IWM North and its quayside are available to hire. To find out more, call 0161 836 4032.
