If you're a Lion King fan in Manchester, the new Lion King Café inside Primark's Market Street store is an experience you won't want to miss. As part of Disney’s 30th anniversary celebrations, this themed café transports you straight to the Pride Lands, with decor and a menu that pay homage to the beloved film. It’s a whimsical escape from the hustle and bustle of shopping, perfect for both adults and kids.
The menu at the Lion King Café is diverse, catering to a wide range of tastes. Whether you're in the mood for something savoury or sweet, there’s plenty to choose from. For savoury options, they offer BBQ Wings and Hot Wings at £5.95 each, Nachos for £5.50, and the Mega Hotdog, which comes in both regular and vegan versions, priced at £5.95. My husband and I both opted for the Mega Hotdog, a generous serving topped with ketchup, burger sauce, and crispy onions. I asked for mine without ketchup and sauce, and the staff were more than accommodating. The hotdog itself was simple but satisfying—a good, hearty choice for a quick bite.
For those with a sweet tooth, the café doesn’t disappoint. The waffle options are particularly tempting. The Bug Hut waffle, priced at £6.95, comes loaded with chocolate ice cream, gooey bug sweets, Oreo crumbs, and chocolate sauce, while the Honeycomb Crunch waffle at £6.95 offers a delightful combination of vanilla ice cream, banana, Crunchie pieces, and toffee sauce.
In addition to the hotdog, we couldn’t resist trying the cake and coffee deal, which is a steal at £4.50. I chose a slice of Battenberg cake, which was fresh and flavourful. My husband went for the salted caramel cake, which he paired with a cinnamon cappuccino (£3.75). The cakes were well-made, and the cappuccino added a nice warm touch, especially with its hint of cinnamon.
For drinks, the café offers a variety of options, from milkshakes like the Banoffee Bonanza (£5.95) to bubble teas such as the Pineapple Tea with mango boba and cherry syrup (£5.25). They even have a unique Banoffee Hot Chocolate for £4, which combines banana hot chocolate with whipped cream and a drizzle of toffee—a real treat for those looking for something a bit different.
One thing to note is the café’s focus on providing a family-friendly atmosphere. They offer a Kids Lunch Box for £4.95, which includes a wrap, a snack, a piece of fruit, and a drink—perfect for keeping little ones happy during a shopping trip.
The Lion King Café will be open in the Manchester Market Street Primark until August, so there’s still time to experience this enchanting spot before it closes. Overall, the Lion King Café at Primark is a delightful addition to the store, offering more than just a meal—it’s an experience. The food, while straightforward, is enjoyable, and the themed environment makes it a unique and memorable stop during your shopping excursion. Whether you’re dropping in for a quick coffee and cake or sitting down for a more substantial meal, it’s worth the visit—especially if you’re a fan of the classic Disney film. Plus, with Lion King-themed products available in-store as part of the anniversary celebrations, you can fully immerse yourself in the magic of the Pride Lands.
