The Magic Roundabout Bowness

A colourful all-day venue on Queen’s Square combining café food, restaurant dishes, a large drinks list and a lively bar atmosphere.

The Magic Roundabout is one of Bowness’s most recognisable all-day hospitality venues, sitting on Queen’s Square close to The Albert. It moves between café, restaurant and bar territory, with food ranging from breakfast and lighter daytime choices to fuller meals, while the drinks side has long been a major part of its identity.The result is a flexible place for a coffee, casual lunch, evening meal or drinks without needing a formal dining plan. Its central location means it can be busy and lively, particularly later in the day. Current menus, promotions and opening hours change, so check the venue’s own site or social channels if you are visiting for a particular offer.

Our local note
