A nice restaurant if you are interested in Doctor who. The waitress was so nice and friendly. I like how honest she was, since I ordered fries only, she told me since they use air-fryer, may feel dry if I don’t want gravy on top. Also, the meal which supposed come with fries from other picture, no long cork with it. And they changed to a bag of chip.

Authentic British food (derogatory).
Just like mum used to make (derogatory).
Yeah, the food sucks. It's not actively bad, like nothing is burned or anything, but it is bland and underwhelming and textureless. And overpriced. Super overpriced.
But you're not here for the food, you're here for the environment, and sure enough Doctor Who fans will find plenty to coo over, from a TARDIS-munching T-Rex installed over the entryway to the toilet (whose door is also TARDIS-themed) to what look like reconstructions of props and some cute portraits and knitted figures of various Doctors.
The space is large and airy, which maybe limits the atmosphere a bit - feels like it should be smaller and winding, with hidden corners, but I guess I can't blame them for not moving to an entirely different building! However, it seems like a great venue for watchalongs and group meet-ups.
The staff are all friendly, and you'll likely encounter a bunch of fellow nerds to swap stories and such with (but who else is going to come here?). I believe they also organise events with cast members who are in the area, so keep an eye out for that.
So yeah, if you're passing by, have the money and want a bit of novelty (and don't really care about food), then this will suffice. And if there are nerd events going on, it's probably great. But if you just want to eat, there are so many better places to get food in Beacon.

The food was okay, they were out of pierogies and only airfry their french fries. The hibiscus-berry tea they make in-house is perfect, and the decor was great. I'd like to try the tea and finger sandwiches next time, those weren't on the menu but other tables had them and they looked delicious!

Pretty cool spot. Def one of a kind type of place. They got British food here. I’ll come back for some tea and maybe try the burgers. Got the sweet chili wings which were probably the best wings I ever had in my life. It’s kinda random but fun. Good service. Nice folks.

I am a fan of the series and while it was cool to see the place the food was ok (somewhat overpriced) and the service was a bit slow to off. Nice people just not together.

Unfortunately one of the more disappointing dining experiences in a long time. The bangers and mash tasted like poorly microwaved prison slop. Accompanied by erratic and slow service, even the somewhat cute atmosphere of the place can’t save this experience. Avoid at all cost.

The Pandorica is a Dr. Who-themed eatery where they make sandwiches, salads & British classics, plus lots of tea & weekly Dr. Who trivia events. The Food is very good, but the atmosphere is amazing.

I came for Doctor Who but keep coming back for the mouth-watering food and the friendly faces. The dishes are made with such love and attention to detail. The fish fingers and custard app is a must try!
The service staff girl it’s a fantastic attendee and kind

We’d visited Beacon on a Sunday 2 months ago, but sadly only discovered Pandorica as it was about to close. We made a second trip - combined with a visit to DIA gallery, and loved it. Lovely warm welcome on arrival by Shirley - and a wide range of tempting dishes, both regular and specials. The decor is of course outstanding if you’re a Doctor Who fan. But even if you’re not, you can still appreciate the art and craft of many of the items on display. Shirley is an amazing host, and we benefitted from some great stories. Can’t wait to go back!

Oh what a lovely experience! There are little gifts for the Who-fandom scattered throughout the space, which is so welcoming and airy. I spent ages just looking around and fangirling!
The person who took our orders was so sweet and so knowledgeable and we loved everything we ordered. They have vegan, vegetarian and GF options so it’s really inclusive. The teas are delicious - we had the Jammy Dodger and it was just perfection.
Such a special experience! I can’t wait to go back!

From the moment we walked in the restaurant, the hostess was rude, inconvenienced when we asked for a paper menu and after waiting 10 minutes, she went to a table that came in after us, to take their order and ignored us. Due to this disrespectful attitude, we left before ordering and since this was our first visit to Beacon, it was not a good first impression.
