Café 

The café currently has a reduced offer due to staffing shortages - the offer includes hot and cold drinks, sandwiches, scones and cakes, served 10:30am-4:30pm. On days when the café is closed, self-service hot drinks are available. 

The café is closed on the following dates: 

  • Thursday 10 April
  • Monday 14 April - Thursday 17 April inclusive 
  • Tuesday 22 April - Friday 2 May inclusive

Please let us know if your group will be having lunch and/or refreshments in the café, as this would help us to plan for your visit. Unfortunately we’re unable to take bookings for lunch, but we endeavour to serve people as quickly as possible but visitors should be aware that, particularly at busy times, there can be a queue and we appreciate your patience.

Guided tours

If you would like a guided tour then please clearly mark this on your booking form. All guided tours are subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed unless pre-booked. Please note that there is a maximum of 15 people allowed on both the garden and mill tours. If there are more than 15 members in your group that wish to go on a tour then please let us know and we are able to discuss options to accommodate your group.
