Eating and drinking at Tyntesfield

The Cow Barn Café 

Set in the Grade II-listed Victorian dairy at Home Farm, the Cow Barn Café is the perfect place to grab some refreshments at the start of your visit, or refuel and relax after exploring the estate.  

Offering both indoor and outdoor seating, the café serves a range of hot and cold drinks, lunches and Marshfield Farm ice cream. 

The Pavilion Café  

For lighter bites, try the Pavilion Café. Please note, though, that it only offers outdoor seating. 

Using local produce 

Many of the ingredients we use in our recipes come from the Tyntesfield estate, including wild garlic from the woodland in the spring, wild berries in the summer, and fruit and vegetables from the Kitchen Garden throughout the year. 

The produce is freshly picked by our harvesting volunteers, and then walked up the drive to our kitchen less than a mile away. 

 

Allergen information

Most of the food and drink served is prepared on site in our kitchen, using a wide range of ingredients. As a result, we can’t guarantee that any of our food and drink products are completely allergen free. 

If you have an allergy or intolerance and would like ingredient information about the food and drink served, please ask the staff, who will be happy to help.

Always check when you visit

Visited before? We sometimes change our recipes to improve quality and flavour, including the ingredients. When you visit, please speak to one of our team to check the current allergen information for your favourite dish.

 

Thank you

Every cuppa or tasty treat you buy helps us to continue looking after places for everyone to enjoy.

We're proud to support our local suppliers - you can find Sedgemoor Honey, Somerset Cider, Harry's Cider, Bristol Books, Somerset Lavender, and gift cards from Suzy Furse Illustrations in the shop. Supporting small local businesses is important to our retail team and we're always looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint by sourcing products locally, plus we know our visitors appreciate the high quality products our local suppliers provide.

Getting back to Nature

We have a range of toys and games available in the shop to help children explore the grounds in a fun and interactive way. You'll find a wide selection of items to bring nature to your garden, such as houses for birds, bats and bugs, to help you diversify your natural spaces and support your local wildlife. Often, the items available reflect the activities taking place around the estate.
