Food for patients and families

Feeling hungry? We provide a wide range of food and drink, in the Lagoon restaurant, on the ward and in our vending machines.

The Lagoon restaurant

The Lagoon restaurant is located on Level 2 of the Morgan Stanley Clinical Building.

Within the Lagoon you'll find our restaurant, as well as:

  • The Hospital shop, which sells a range of snacks, toiletries, cards, games, and GOSH branded products.
  • The Disney Reef play area – an outdoor space for patients and their families.
  • Our Coffee Bar, which offers a range of hot drinks and snacks.

What's on the menu?

Our Lagoon restaurant menus change daily, and our meals are prepared fresh, in-house at GOSH. For lunch and dinner you can choose from a range of options, including:

  • Main meals, served with traditional and seasonal accompaniments.
  • Lighter snacks, like salads, sandwiches, paninis and soups. These are available throughout the day.
