Serving Up Summer at CRATE
Make the most of the longer days, lighter nights and warmer weather with summertime at CRATE.
We’re talking alfresco dining, drinks on the terrace and activities you can enjoy whatever the weather.
Cocktails on the terrace
Nothing says summer quite like a sundowner on the terrace and with our new bar offering an amazing range of affordable cocktails, you can soak up the sunshine in style with a pretty sip in hand.
Seasonal favourites include Cherry Negronis, Watermelon Spritzes and Strawberry Daiquiris, and there are some amazing offers too. On Tuesdays it’s 2-4-1 on all cocktails, on Wednesdays, all classic cocktails are £7 and every day, you can get two selected signature cocktails for just £15 – what could be better after a long, hot day at work?
Not a fan of cocktails? They serve wine, beer, spirits and mocktails too so get your mates together and enjoy an apéritif of three.
Soft play come rain or shine
Whether it’s pouring with rain or blisteringly hot, keep your little ones safe and dry with a 90-minute play session at Play Central.
While we all long for sunny days, sometimes it can be simply too hot to play outside – you need to keep the kids hydrated, covered up and coated in factor 50 and we all know how difficult this can be. Soft play is great way of getting them out of the heat and keeping them cool.
Equally, if it’s wet outside, and let’s face it, our summers aren’t always dry, Play Central provides a fun escape from the rain. Sessions start from £5 for an hour and a half of play, and this summer we’ll be offering flash discounts so keep an eye on social media for daily offers.
Alfresco dining
Food always tastes better outdoors, so why not grab a seat on our gorgeous Aperol Terrace and enjoy a spot of alfresco dining.
What could be better on a warm day than a pizza from Grano Tenero or some pasta from Condito and a chilled glass of rosé? It’s giving Capri! If you fancy going further afield, then grab a plate of freshly made tacos from Carne and a margarita and imagine yourself in Mexico, without the hefty price tag!!
Summer parties
Thinking of hosting a party this summer but don’t want the hassle of hosting at home? Talk to us about private hire.
We’ve got a choice of rooms, which means you can keep it intimate or go BIG and invite up to 100 guests. With six street food vendors (and a seventh coming on board soon – watch this space…) you don’t have to worry about cooking.
We’ve also got a special catering menu, which you can view online here. Staff from our fabulous new bar, The Drift, will be on hand all evening to serve theatrically crafted cocktails while guests relax and enjoy the mood lighting, curated playlists and sun terrace.

Treat time
Is it even summer if you’ve not had an ice cream? Cool down with a serving of scrumptious soft-serve ice cream from Bare Bones.
If you thought it was all buttermilk chicken tenders and wings at Bare Bones, then think again – they do amazing desserts too! Choose from a cone of ice cream with a selection of tasty toppings, or a deliciously rich, homemade, triple chocolate brownie with a huge dollop of soft serve.
Chill with a coffee
If summer’s your sign to switch your regular coffee order for a chilled version, then head over to Perky Blenders where they’re currently serving a great range of iced drinks.
Fan favourites include iced lattes, matchas and chai, and if you’re feeling really indulgent, how about an iced chocolate? Get your daily dose of caffeine and vitamin D in one fell swoop by taking it outside and enjoying a moment of peace on our Aperol Terrace.
