The Old Kitchen Café is located on the lower floor of the house, accessible via the Cellarium. You'll find the Coach House Café in the Stables.
We're serving up hot and cold drinks, light lunches, cakes, snacks and sandwiches for you to enjoy during your visit. Hot food is served from 12 noon-2.30pm. There is a small range of gluten and dairy-free food available, and soya or oat milk for hot drinks.
Additional outlets
The Stables Coffee Shop opens from 11am-2pm to support busy periods. The walled garden kiosk opens in summer from 10am-4pm. Both these outlets serve hot and cold beverages, a small range of cakes, sandwiches, snacks and ice creams.
Look out for Jude's ice cream horsebox on sunny afternoons.
Good to know
Food and drink at the Old Kitchen is served on china, while refreshments from other outlets are served on compostable, plant-based tableware. If you can bring your own re-usable cup, you can take advantage of a 25p discount on your hot beverage.
There’s limited indoor seating for both cafés, which can full up quickly on busy days. There’s plenty of outdoor seating, as well as picnic tables or places to spread a blanket on the paddocks.
Dogs are welcome in outdoor seating areas and inside a dog-friendly area of either the Coach House Café or Stables Coffee Shop.
Allergen information

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.
