David Lloyd Café Prices: What Food and Drink Really Cost
David Lloyd does not publish cafe prices on its website, and members say the bill can add up fast. This guide covers what members report paying in the Clubroom, whether Platinum gets a discount, who can eat there without a guest fee, and cheaper ways to refuel. Prices vary by club, so treat the figures as examples rather than a price list.
What the Clubroom Offers
David Lloyd calls its cafe and restaurant the Clubroom. The menu covers breakfasts, pizzas, flatbreads, burgers, curries and steaks, plus a children’s menu, deli counters, smoothies, coffees, teas and a bar. Calories and allergens are listed on the menus.
What Members Report Paying
Only a handful of members share exact figures, so treat these as examples. Members also report being charged different amounts for the same drink, so check your receipt.
Platinum Discount and Guest Rules
Why Protein Drinks Cost More
Whey protein ingredient costs have risen sharply in 2026. The owner of the Myprotein brand has described whey inflation as unprecedented and raised its prices, and European whey prices have hit record levels. David Lloyd has not said this is behind its menu changes, but it helps explain why protein shakes and smoothies are costing more across the market, not just in gym cafes.
Cheaper Ways to Refuel
David Lloyd Cafe Prices FAQs
Does David Lloyd publish its cafe prices?
Not on its main food and drink page. The page describes the menu and says calories and allergens are listed, but it gives no prices. Check the menu at your club or when you order in the app. Prices can also differ between clubs.
Do Platinum members get a discount on food and drink?
Members report a discount of around 10% for Platinum members, but we could not find it stated on David Lloyd’s website. Confirm with your club and ask whether it applies to the whole menu. Offers can differ between clubs.
Can guests use the David Lloyd café for free?
Yes, if they only want a drink or something to eat. David Lloyd’s help centre says no guest fee applies in that case. The membership terms say social guests can only use the café bar and may not be allowed at peak times, so check your club’s hours.
Can you bring your own food into the David Lloyd Clubroom?
No. The membership terms say only food and drink bought in the club can be eaten in the Clubroom. Crockery and glasses also cannot leave it. Ask at reception if you have a medical need to bring something specific.
Why are David Lloyd protein smoothies so expensive?
David Lloyd has not explained its menu pricing, but whey protein costs have risen sharply in 2026 and sports nutrition brands have raised prices. One member reported around £6 after discount for a protein smoothie at one club in October 2026. Making your own shake is the cheapest way to cut the cost.
David Lloyd Cafe Prices: The Short Version
Expect Clubroom prices closer to a premium cafe than a gym kiosk. Check prices in the app, use any Platinum discount, and make your own shake if protein drinks are a regular habit. Our cost calculator adds up your monthly membership so you can see where food and drink fit in your budget, and our day pass guide covers guest and visitor costs.
