Eating at Farmers Fayre

The café will be open from Wednesday to Sunday, 8am-5pm serving delicious breakfasts, lunches take-away coffees and sweet treats.

Using ingredients sourced locally, suppliers such as E&P Butchers in Coventry, Warwickshire Gelato and MOR Bakery in Stratford-upon-Avon, and Andrew Davies Bakery in Kenilworth, along with herbs grown on-site from the Charterhouse’s stunning walled garden will be used to create the dishes.

A small retail section will be available where you can support local suppliers who will be providing honey and cakes alongside gifts such as blankets and antiques.

“We’re really looking forward to the re-opening of the Charterhouse and, as part of our plans, we have been working hard to bring in an operator to run the café with flair and passion for excellence.

“Farmers Fayre is an incredibly popular venue at Stoneleigh Park and Ryton Pools Country Park and we are looking forward to seeing their innovative, freshly prepared menus come to life as the Charterhouse begins the next stage of its incredible history.”

Gurminder Kenth, General Manager at the Charterhouse

National Trust members and non-members are both welcome to use the café within the 14th century former monastery.

After your visit to the café, step outside into the beautifully landscaped walled garden, take a stroll around the wildlife pond and community orchard or take a look at the 15th and 16th century wall paintings in the house. Don’t forget little ones can run off some steam in the children’s play area!

“This is very exciting and we want the Charterhouse to become a key destination for communities in Coventry looking to connect with nature and history, to take a moment to pause with a coffee and a bite to eat and perhaps take a stroll around the surrounding parkland” .

“We want Farmers Fayre at the Charterhouse to be renowned for quality, value and a great experience".

Nicola Reece, director and co-owner of Farmers Fayre,
