Eating and Shopping at Sheffield Park

*Please note this is an old page relating to COVID opening* Our Coach House tea-room is open 10am - 4pm, serving a selection of cakes, sandwiches and a limited hot food menu of soup and one pots. The seating area is re-open and to ensure social distancing we have removed many of the tables. Unfortunately during peak times this does mean that queues may be longer than usual. The Shant in the gardens is also open for takeaways.
Our shop has now re-opened selling a wide array of Christmas gifts, homeware, plants and National Trust favourites.

We've reorganised things to help keep everyone safe
- To ensure social distancing we have removed many of the tables in the tea-room and we aren't able to reserve tables in advance. Unfortunately this does mean that queues in the Coach House may be longer than usual. Staff will be on hand to help during busy times.
- Please wear a face covering when in the Coach House, unless you are seated at a table or exempt.
- We are pleased to be offering compostable tableware. Please help us by placing it in general waste after use where it will break down naturally.
- The toilets are open and we have put in place a queuing system to help ensure everyone's safety. During busy times this may involve queuing outside.
- We are currently only accepting card payments. Please use contactless where possible.
If you're wandering in the garden, why not visit The Shant for teas, coffees, cold drinks, sandwiches, scones, cream teas and snacks.
The Shant will be open from 10am - 3.30pm and accepting card payments only.
Following government advice we have removed the seating in The Shant but please do feel free to find a quiet bench or picnic spot within the gardens.
