Opening times: open every day 10am – 3.30pm (kitchen open for light bites 11am – 2.30pm).

The coffee shop is just before the ticket office at the Gardens and so can be enjoyed by all. There is no admission charge to use our catering facilities.

We have implemented socially distanced seating indoors, on the veranda and in our courtyard.

You may take your food and drinks from our self-service counter to sit at our tables or into the garden for a picnic.

Please note we are not taking cash sales at present.

All food and drinks are served using “Vegware” plates and cups. They are made using plants and are biodegradable and compostable and break down with food waste. Please use the bins provided.
