The tea-room at Winkworth Arboretum

Pop in and enjoy hot drinks and snacks!

The tea-room has now reopened!

We're delighted to be welcoming visitors back into the tea-room. We're open from 10am-4pm every day.

Here's a taste of our current menu (subject to availability)

· Hot and cold drinks

· Sausage rolls, Cornish pasties and vegan pasties

· Assorted cakes and cookies

At this time we are serving a selection of hot meals.

We've introduced measures to help keep everybody safe when visiting our Tearoom. You'll find a one-way queueing system for placing and collecting orders. There are protective screens at the till and collection points, and hand sanitiser available. We accept card and cash payments, but prefer contactless whenever possible.

In line with government guidance visitors to the Tearoom till point are required to wear a face covering.

Remember your reusable cup
Every time you present a reusable cup when you order a hot drink at one of our cafes, tea rooms or kiosks, we'll give you 25p off as a thank you for helping the environment by reducing the number of disposable cups used. This promotion replaces the hot drinks loyalty card scheme, which closed in February 2021.

Opening times

The tea-room closes 1 hour before the Arboretum. We are open every day apart from Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Where to find us: Winkworth Arboretum, Hascome Road, Godalming, Surrey, GU8 4AD

Visiting the tea-room

Please note: at the moment we're unable to offer our full menu of hot lunches

Take the weight off your feet and renew your energy before you explore the Arboretum, or reward yourself after an invigorating walk through the woods. The tea-room is a short level walk away from the car park.

We have outdoor seating for when the sun's shining or indoor seating for the cooler months. Dogs on leads are welcome in the Arboretum and can enjoy the outdoor seating area with their owners.

Hot drinks

We take great pride in our hot drinks, serving only Fairtrade coffee made from the best ingredients while you wait. If coffee isn't your cup of tea, try our National Trust Everyday tea blend made especially for us by Clipper. At weekend & holidays we also have a coffee Tuk-Tuk & ice cream hut next to the tea-room to serve the outdoor seating area with hot and cold drinks and ice creams.

Hot meals and light lunches

Choose from hot lunches or lighter meal items including sandwiches and soups. We have a pick and mix children's lunch box for your mini adventures. If you're after a sweet treat, we have a variety of bakes such as Dr Fox's ginger cake, made with a recipe by the Arboretum's own founder, a Scone of the Month and a variety of cakes.

Eating through the seasons

Winkworth changes colour constantly throughout the year, with vivid bluebells giving way to beautiful azaleas and summer greenery, followed by an autumn of burnished reds and oranges. Whatever the season, we've got just the right food for you, whether it's a light salad on a hot day or a warming bowl of soup during winter.

Food for Life Award

We are proud recipients of the Bronze Food for Life Served Here award. The award recognises our commitment to serving local, fresh food using sustainable ingredients. The National Trust owns over 200,000 hectares of farmed land which is used by us and our tenant farmers to produce everything from milk to vegetables to venison. We’ve been working to use food produced on our own land in our tearoom, cafes & restaurants.
