The Barn Cafe at Standen

Try a slice of delicious carrot cake — Tuck in to a hearty slice of carrot cake

An 18th-century barn is home to the Barn Café which is open for seasonal lunches, snacks, ice creams and drinks. Come and enjoy homemade cakes, some made with produce from our Kitchen Garden.

We’ve introduced new safety measures including screens at our till and collection points.
In England, wearing a face covering is a personal choice, although they are recommended in crowded and enclosed places.

We look forward to welcoming you.
