WHERE
THE MAGIC WINGDOM, 15 DORMER PLACE IS A COSY BASEMENT RESTAURANT OPPOSITE THE BAND STAND IN THE PUMP ROOM GARDENS IN ROYAL LEAMINGTON SPA, ITS PREVIOUS BELOVED INCARNATIONS ‘QUEANS’,‘LOVES’ AND ‘PLANTAGENETS’ ALL NOW PART OF ITS GRADE 2 LISTED HISTORY. IT’S CHANGED A LITTLE BIT…

FOOD
THIS IS COMFORT FOOD WITH VERY MUCH AN EAST MEETS WEST VIBE. AS THE NAME SUGGESTS WE OFFER FRIED CHICKEN IN VARIOUS GUISES BUT THATS VERY MUCH THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. WE’VE GOT WINGS, VINGS, MAGIC FINGERS, TAIWANESE STYLE BAO BUNS & SOFT SERVE ICE CREAM – PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THE SAUCES ARE VEGAN & OVER 50% OF THE MENU IS VEGAN OR VEGETARIAN. IT CAN BE MESSY EATING BUT WE DO SUPPLY CUTLERY & THERES KITCHEN ROLL ON EVERY TABLE. WE’RE NOT MONSTERS!

INSIDE
DOWN THE STEPS INTO THE RESTAURANT THERES A WELCOMING FAMILIAR FEEL FOR THOSE WHO HAVE VISITED THE DRAWING BOARD (www.thedrawingboard.pub), OSB THROUGHOUT WITH LOTS OF COSY BANQUETTE SEATING, A CONCRETE STYLE BAR, PLY TABLES & FLOORING BENEATH. A GENTLE INDUSTRIAL VIBE, SEATING FOR APPROXIMATELY 50 AND ONE BOOKABLE BOOTH THAT’LL SEAT 10, THE SNOOK (A SNUG MEETS A NOOK). DECOR-WISE LONG TIME COLLABORATOR MELBS (www.cmalbon.com) HAS HAD MORE THAN A BIT OF A DOODLE ON THE WALLS & ABOUT THE PLACE, NEW PAL
& TRADITIONAL SIGN WRITER EXTRAORDINAIRE ZOOT (Seven9Signs) HAS GOT HIS PAINTBRUSH OUT. AS EVER THERE’S ALWAYS EASTER EGGS TO FIND AND FAR TOO MANY FILM REFERENCES (OBVS).

BOOKINGS
THE MAJORITY OF THE RESTAURANT IS AVAILABLE FOR WALK-INS AT THE WINGDOM AND ON BUSY EVENINGS WE RUN A WAITING LIST FROM BEHIND THE BAR. WE DO APPRECIATE SOMETIMES WHEN IT’S A SPECIAL OCCASION IT’S NICE TO HAVE PLANS FIRMLY IN PLACE (YOU DON’T WANT GRANDMA WAITING IN THE RAIN FOR HER WINGS ON HER 80TH BIRTHDAY) SO WE TAKE A SMALL NUMBER OF BOOKINGS IN ADVANCE.

IF YOU’RE A LARGER GROUP AND WISH TO ‘BOOK THE SNOOK’, EMAIL US!
