The Food Carriage is back at The Ticket Office

Wednesday, 1 April 2026 06:05

After 3 long awaited years, The Ticket Office Ilkley welcomes back its food carriage, with a brand-new menu launching this today, 1 April.

Leading the change is general manager Matt Broadley, bringing a fresh approach to dining that perfectly complements the bar’s well-established reputation for cocktails and atmosphere.

The new menu focuses on refined, flavour-led dishes created to pair seamlessly with the bar’s expertly crafted cocktails, extensive wine list and premium beers. Rather than transforming into a traditional restaurant, The Ticket Office remains true to its roots as a leading Ilkley bar and social destination.

Matt said:

“We’ve always believed that great drinks deserve great food alongside them. This isn’t about becoming a restaurant — it’s about enhancing the experience for our guests. The menu is designed for sharing, socialising and enjoying alongside cocktails, while keeping the relaxed, lively atmosphere we’re known for.”

The new food offering includes a selection of thoughtfully created dishes perfect for grazing and sharing, using quality ingredients and bold flavours.

In addition, The Ticket Office will introduce Sunday Lunch, served weekly from 12–3pm, alongside its already programme of live music, DJs and events. The launch also coincides with a busy Easter weekend line-up, featuring live entertainment from Thursday through to Sunday.

The introduction of food marks an exciting new chapter for The Ticket Office and the new menu will be available during Monday to Thursday 12–8pm, Friday and Saturday 12–3pm and Sunday 12–3pm.
