Whatever happened to food in nightclubs?

The Jazz Cafe opposite the Forth in Newcastle only had a food license, so you’d be forced upon entry to order either a single frozen chicken burger or single frozen veggie burger with your £3 entry fee in order to buy drinks, which was either cans of Skol from a normal household fridge or bottles of astonishingly awful red wine.

Magnificent place.

That brings back some memories. Was in there every weekend at Uni.

Bloke with a beard owned it? Think he passed a few years back now.

Nadine Shah would play regularly (and excellently) back when she was a jazz singer

Not a nightclub but there was a shop in Stockton that catered for people leaving nightclubs.
Porkies - used to sell roast potatoes covered in meat gravy. Was beautiful especially when you'd had a skinful.

Also El Grecko's stayed open after the clubs fjf extra drinking and food. Became Dusk till Dawn before it closed.

Loved leaving The Waterfront on a Saturday night....walking round to Porkies and taking home roasties and chicken smothered in gravy and mint sauce. Taxi drivers would go nuts if you tried to eat it in their car on the way home though

I’m sure I remember a snack bar in Revel’s nightclub in Redcar.

It had a little window down the bottom left hand side.

Zack’s night club on the sea front had a full blown restaurant inside, but separated from the night club part ( but also glass windows so you could still watch what was going on in the main part)

At one time didn't clubs have to sell food to be licenced as a nightclub?

It used to be that you couldn't open after 11pm unless you sold food. I worked in one in 91-92 and usually ended up doing the cooking. I presume that changed with the licensing act that Labour brought in.
