I’ve been to gigs all over the world and I’m always surprised how few of them sell food.
The only ones I can think of is the garden at the Boileroom in Guildford, the cafes at Southbank, the thai at Hebden Bridge Trades Club, bad hotdogs at arena shows, and more obvious things like Pizza Express’ jazz venue.
Are there now more venues with street food or early doors dinner? Guess most places that are rooms at back of or above a pub have options.

The soup at Mezrab in Amsterdam 
Leeds
Brudenell does pies and sometimes has a pizza van outside
Belgrave does pizzas and burgers downstairs
Headrow house does kebabs
Used to go to the Jazz Cafe in Newcastle, it only had a restaurant licence or something, so if you wanted to drink there you had to have food, it was included in the price of entry, just used to be tables full of unwanted burgers and chips iirc
Seems common in parts the US as it’s often a condition of an alcohol license.
Zerox here in Newcastle has just opened a taco place in one of its rooms. They’re open till midnight some nights, which is cool - always surprises me how terrible food options are in big cities here after like 8pm
I think the couple of times I’ve been to Brudenell have been day events and festivals so I’ve never had the pie. Need to go to Leeds more is the moral of this story.
soup kitchen, yes, blues kitchen, band on the wall, gorilla, deaf institute, fuel. (all in manchester)
Where’s the food in deaf institute? The Anchoress played there a few months ago and I guess I didn’t go down many floors as they had a big eurovision party on. Having seen the back stage there, I hope the kitchen is nicer 
I remember eating a hot dog and chips while watching @McGarnagle playing at the Tiny Rebel in Cardiff
think maybe it was in Ireland you could only serve booze late night if you served food, sure I remember reading about clubs pausing the tunes at 1am to serve a massive curry
Used to be the case in the UK, too, before the licensing laws changed in the early 2000s. A mate of mine used to work in a venue that had a freezer full of microwave curries that no one ever ordered.
Food is good at deaf inst. It’s on the main floor with the main bar. I’ve only been to gigs upstairs above
Id go as far to say that in terms of breakdown of space. Deaf inst. Is definitely more of a bar that does food with a gig venue upstairs, than a gig venue doing food.
Also New Century. Good food hall/bar on the ground floor
Ronnie Scott’s does wonderful meals.
Ah yes, the gig when my whole pedalboard just stopped working for no reason and I had to style it out by pressing buttons on my Ableton Push.

Albert Hall kind of since it’s similar to Soup in that the space and the bar are separate. Although why you would want to.
I once sent Cassette Store Day stock to these guys, seem like a lovely bunch.
Future Yard in Birkenhead do vegan burgers and chips, loaded fries etc. I second the shout out to YES too, nice food there.
