The Hatch Luncheonette has two entrances; one for takeaway and one for sit down dining. Furthermore, the floor of the Hatch is covered in black stars with a white background. The walls are covered in hanging baskets, creating a lush and funky garden-like experience. The food offered ranges from breakfasts to lunch foods like sandwiches and bagels. They also do a selection of desserts. You can get a unique variety of tea and coffee flavours at the Hatch. There are both indoor and outdoor eating spaces and a second floor to the building. The second floor is a more moderately decorated room, with plain wooden tables, chairs and flooring. The seating downstairs is a mixture of light plastic and metallic.

The doorway is narrow and steps set at different heights are located throughout the building. There is no disabled toilet. There are no braille or large print menus, but the staff can read the menu out to you. All dogs are welcome. The staff are not specifically trained to deal with those who are neurologically diverse.
