Sit-in or Takeaway
There’s no cost to access our café and members can enjoy a generous discount.
Food is served all day but we ask for final orders for hot food are 45 minutes before closing.
There are vegetarian options and if you have an allergy please discuss this with our staff.
A children’s menu is available, bottle-warming and baby-changing facilities: we also have a breastfeeding-friendly award.
We have a wide range of food and drinks available to takeaway. We encourage our customers to use reusable coffee cups and as an added incentive, offer 50p off your takeaway coffee and tea. However, don't worry if you forget your cup, we have a wide range available in the giftshop and all our takeaway containers are made of renewable, lower carbon or recycled materials which can be composted with food waste.
Keeping you safe
While our welcome will be as warm as ever we’ve made some important changes to how we operate to protect and reassure you during your visit. Although things are a little different the incredible views from our cafe remain as spectacular as ever.
We have simplified our menu and increased our cleaning regimes throughout the Centre.
The toilets are limited to one household group at a time and a key can be requested from our information desk.
