Main Menu

Niche is an independent award-winning restaurant, serving seasonally-inspired crowd pleasers with a modern twist. Our ‘niche’ is that everything on the menu is completely gluten-free, but you wouldn’t know it! We have worked tirelessly to ensure our dishes just taste good. We serve our Pre-theatre Menu exclusively when there are matinee and evening performances at Sadler’s Wells Theatre.
