This room serves as a recreational lounge for crewmembers while in flight. It has couches, books, tables, games and contains the Food Machine. This machine dispenses traditional Gallifreyan food (i.e. tablets, pills, wafers, and bars) on paper plates. Liquids are produced in self-sealing bags or wax paper cups. All beverages except water appear as a light orange liquid. The Food Machine can produce alcohol. If given a small sample the Food Machine is capable of replicating the flavor and texture of any type of food, but the appearance and color is limited to standard pre-programmed designs. A TARDIS will ensure that all life-forms traveling with it will get food and water. If necessary the Food Machine will use its wheels to roam around the interior of a TARDIS looking for people who are hungry. A fully functional TARDIS can create any type of currency including gold.

The capacity of the Food Machine is immense, able to last hundreds of years without need for restocking. Even then, given time, a TARDIS can use block transfer to restock its food supplies. It has been described as holding 4 bazillion recipes.

A TARDIS also has a kitchen with a refrigerator that can keep food fresh forever. In a Type 40 TARDIS the kitchen usually ends up being located very far from the Control Room. This is a major complaint that owners of Type 40s have.
