Welcome to the
Midnight Apothecary
We are delighted you’re joining us at Midnight Apothecary, whether you’re a returning guest or someone new to our delights. Things are a lot like the old days but there are a few important changes we’ve made to keep you safe. And there are a few things we ask you to take a look at here, before you arrive.
ON ARRIVAL
Please arrive at the box office welcome desk situated near the river (it will be signposted). If you’re coming from Rotherhithe Overground, walk straight up Railway Ave for 2 minutes and you’ll find us. If you’re coming by car or bike, our entrance is at the corner of Railway Ave and Rotherhithe St (please see on the map).
ONE-WAY SYSTEM
There is a one-way system through the site with one entrance and one exit. At the end of the evening please exit via the Terrace to the Exit sign, clearly marked.
LOOS
The entrance to the loos is through the side entrance to the Engine House (clearly signposted) and there is a one-way route downstairs to the two toilets. There will be hand sanitiser inside and outside the toilets. Please exit straight through the barn doors on the lower ground floor and back up to the roof garden. The toilets will be checked and cleaned every 30 minutes. Guests are requested to wear a mask whilst in the Engine House (Brunel Museum) wherever possible.
TO ORDER
Your Midnight Apothecary host will escort you and your guests to an area in the garden suitable for your size group. There you will find two QR codes with a table number. One is to order your drinks and firepit/marshmallows and one is for BBQ from The Mayflower. There is no need to download an app, just hold your camera over each QR code and they will bring up both menus. You either pay by Apple Pay or the Android equivalent or enter your card details once. Your card details will be encrypted and saved for future orders and are not at any time visible to us. It’s all super simple. If your phone isn’t able to use QR codes we will help you find another way to order. One of our team will bring your tray of drinks (or food) to you and we kindly ask that one member of your party passes the drinks from the tray to your guests. One of our team will be on hand to collect glasses.
FOOD
We are delighted to have teamed up with the wonderful Mayflower Pub across the street to offer you a selection of delicious BBQ. Again, you simply scan their QR code to choose from their delicious menu.
FIREPITS & MARSHMALLOW S'MORES
We have individual firepits for hire and a selection of marshmallows and s’mores kits. Simply order them from the Midnight Apothecary menu via the QR Code. A fire wrangler will keep your firepit stoked with kiln dried firewood throughout your session. For the uninitiated they’ll also give you tips on making the perfect s’more!
