Café 42

With its name inspired by the steepest gradient of the cycle track, the Arena’s licensed café serves a delicious and nutritious range of hot and cold refreshments, including Costa coffee. Café 42 is located on the ground floor within our reception area, and is open to all.

After a good workout you will be able to indulge in the delicious selection of breakfasts, sandwiches, light bites, main meals, snacks and hot and cold drinks. Since the café is open throughout the week it’s also the perfect location for meetings and a great place for fuelling up after a cycling session or a workout.
