Garden Cafe

The Garden Café is the perfect retreat from the buzz of the outside world. Relax in the knot garden whilst indulging in a delicious seasonal lunch or a tasty slice of cake baked in our galley kitchen.

Our vegetarian lunch menu is served from 12.00 - 3.00pm and changes weekly according to what is in season. Barista style coffee and garden inspired cakes are served from 10.30am - 4.30pm Sunday to Friday (3.00pm Saturday) by our friendly team.

We sometimes run a slightly reduced menu at the weekend, but we will always have our freshly baked cakes and seasonal tarts, piles of delicious salads and hearty soups.

Groups over 8 are requested to make a booking - for coffee and cake or for lunch. This will guarantee that we can accommodate you.

You may visit the café only without paying admission for the Museum's permanent and temporary exhibitions.
