Café

During your visit to the Horsey Estate or walk along Horsey Gap Beach, stop off at the café for a hot or cold drink, or refuel with a tasty snack.

There's a tempting range of homemade sandwiches and a variety of cakes, snacks and ice cream to enjoy. There's also plenty of picnic benches for you to sit back and enjoy your snacks.

Disposable packaging

Vegware packaging which is made from plants, is used for our disposable cups. This means that all takeaway cups and lids are fully compostable.

Bringing your dog

Dogs are part of the family too, so well-behaved dogs are welcome around the site at Horsey Windpump.

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
