# What time should I arrive for pre-show dining at the Cliffs Pavilion?

## Your table is reserved for the entire evening and will be ready for you as soon as the restaurant opens.

#### **[Cliffs Pavilion, Southend-on-Sea](https://trafalgartickets.com/cliffs-pavilion-southend/en-GB/food-and-drink)**

- Pre-theatre dining begins 2 hours 30 minutes before the start time of your event. The last sitting is 1 hour 45 minutes before the performance begins.
- For most events, the table is yours for the night – so you can return at the interval for drinks, desserts and coffee.
- During the **[refurbishment project](https://help.trafalgartickets.com/knowledge/cliffs-pavilion-refurbishment?hsLang=en)** pre-show dining will be served in either the Maritime or Admirals Room on the lower ground floor and dining may not be available on certain dates.

*If you have any questions relating to dining including dietary requirements and allergies, please contact the venue hospitality team on **[01702 344 553](tel:01702344553)***
