Places to eat at Shugborough

You’re spoilt for choice between Park Farm café and the mansion tea-room at Shugborough. Both the café and tea-room serve hot meals, hot and cold drinks and freshly baked cakes and biscuits.

Mansion tea-room

Step inside the mansion tea-room and treat yourself to a hearty breakfast or a tasty meal. The tea-room is located right by the shop and second-hand bookshop and has a children’s menu for little explorers.

Park Farm café

At the other end of the estate is Park Farm café. Stop off on your dog walks and grab a light bite, jacket potato, homemade treat and a drink, right in the heart of the farmyard. Dogs are welcome inside – there may even be a treat waiting for them too.
