Charlecote's Orangery restaurant

This article was prepared prior to the coronavirus pandemic and does not reflect the current food and beverage offer. The Wood Yard cafe remains open.

Every tea, coffee or slice of cake you enjoy in the Orangery helps us fund the conservation of all the things you love in the house and around the parkland and gardens. 

On quiet days either the Orangery or the Wood Yard cafe may be closed. Please phone ahead to check if this will affect your visit.

• Breakfast baps (bacon or sausage) served from 9am to 11.45am.
• Hot meals from midday until 2.30pm (3pm in school holidays).
• Soup, one pot, cakes and hot drinks available all day.
• Free Wi-Fi available.

Something special

Sweet or savoury, a mug of hot chocolate, a slice of Victoria sponge, a lovely cup of tea, or a delicious one-pot meal - what will make your day?

We use our own award-winning venison, lamb and honey in our recipes and seasonal ingredients like mulberries and apples from the parkland too. The National Trust scone blogger loves our scones.

Please ask a member of the Food & Beverage team for more information if you have any dietary requirements.

You're always welcome to bring your own food for babies.

School holidays and sunny weekends

On busy sunny days and Bank Holidays we'll open the tea garden too, with outdoor seating, for snacks, hot drinks and scooped Bennetts ice-cream.

Busy days can lead to queues – you are always welcome to bring a picnic instead to enjoy at the benches by the river in the parkland all year round. Why not pop in to the Wood Yard café when you arrive and pick up everything you need for later?

Watch the wildlife and make the most of our beautiful scenery while you enjoy your sandwiches.
