Now Open...Amazing Grazing!
 Welcome to the best new rendezvous in town! FOOD INC. BAR & CAFÉ, nestled in the airy space under Whiteley’s third atrium behind the famous La Scala staircase, is open for business – that is, all-day grazing at its most inspiring.
The Café is the perfect place to plan shopping strategies or unwind after a carrier-bag filling spree. It fills a much-needed gap as a chic and relaxed meeting-place for locals who lunch - and breakfast, sip coffee, stop for afternoon tea, and dine with wine. For adults with children popping in from dawn to dusk, here is a long-awaited cheery and healthy fresh-food pitstop opportunity.
As executive chef Patrick McDonald says: “Food Inc Cafe is an opportunity to sample simple dishes from the ingredients available in the Food Inc market. It is affordable and accessible to everyone.”
Sit and refresh yourself from 9am as an intrinsic sit-down part in the fun bustle that is life at the new Whiteleys! Start the day with a freshly squeezed juice (Purifier is a delicious mix of apple, carrot, ginger, celery and red fruit), followed by Patisserie, Waffles and Pancakes or Hot Streaky Bacon Roll, Inverawe Smoked Haddock with Poached Egg & Lemon Hollandaise or Gloucester Old Spot Bacon, Confit Vine Tomato, Homemade Sausage, Clonakilty Irish Black Pudding with Choice of Eggs, Hot Porridge with Double Cream & Maple Syrup, Red Berry Compote, Vanilla Prunes, Honey Pistachio & Almond or Fresh Figs and so on.
 From noon to 9pm, the menu offers tasty Soups like ‘Harrira’ Moroccan Spiced Lamb & Lentil and Bouillabaisse with Garlic Rouille & Gruyere, 10 Classic Salads such as Baby Spinach, Avocado, Smoked Bacon, Walnut & Blackstick Blue Cheese and Home Cured Bresaola, Rocket & Parmesan, Horseradish, Truffle Dressing, Oysters and Shellfish, Platters of charcuterie, char-grilled vegetables, cheeses and smoked fish, and Pastas and Risottos galore. Main courses include Thai Spiced Fish Cakes, Sweet Chilli & Tomato Salsa, Maize-Fed Goosnargh Chicken Coq au Vin and Goat’s Cheese in Filo with Green Beans. From the mouthwatering pudding menu, try Tiramisu, Vanilla Panacotta, Red Berries & Basil Sugar, Lemon Meringue Pie and Pineapple Tarte Tatin.
From its colourful button table tops to its artisan-produce inspired menu, the Food Inc. Bar & Café delivers daily doses of happiness with its easygoing attitude to all-day nibbling. Open daily from 9am to 9pm; 12noon to 6pm on Sundays, everyone from the Under 5s to the Over 90s is invited to snack, drink, feast vivaciously, refuel alone or savour a quiet three-course dinner with friends. One absolute treat is the 3 to 5.30pm Afternoon Tea Selection – with classic cream tea, the full range of Food Inc’s fab cupcakes and delicious cakes.
 Food Inc. newcomers will revel in the chance to see what the ‘virtual food shopping high street’ is all about. Head chef Jason Lynas’s simple, taste-driven menu celebrates British and European deli classics with a menu that will feature changing daily specials reflecting the best seasonal products. Every dish that leaves the kitchen will bring to life the Food Inc. concept of inspiring customers through expertly picked ingredients and imaginative recipes.
Open Monday to Saturday, 9am to 9pm; 12 noon to 6pm on Sundays. No reservations required.
