During national lockdown, the Cafe will be operating as a takeaway and taking card payments only (no cash).
We’re delighted that the Garden Café will be open for takeaway food and hot drinks. Enjoy a special ‘loaded’ hot chocolate, a warming tea or coffee and one of their delicious cakes! Hot sausage rolls, soup and sandwiches also available to take out to a lovely spot in the Garden. Breakfast baps will be served at weekends.
You will see that we have removed the tables and chairs from the Café terrace in order to support social distancing measures.
