Under the gaze of a ‘Concert of Birds by a Pond’ painted by the 16th century Flemish artist Frans Snyders, café visitors can enjoy delicious locally sourced food, freshly prepared in the Lowther kitchens. A huge copper Tom Dixon light brings outside views inside and lends drama and impact to a stylish yet informal venue. Café food can also be eaten outdoors in the courtyard.
Breakfast is served from 10.00-11.30am, lunch served from 12.00pm. Wine, beer and cider are on sale alongside soft drinks, teas & coffees. Click here for our latest café menu. The takeaway menu is here.
