Located next to visitor reception, the Pantry café is perfect if you’re looking to grab a drink on arrival or a treat after a fun filled day out.

Delicious cakes, sandwiches and pastries are also on the menu.

Please be aware that the Pantry café is only open on our busier days. For opening hours, please check with the Welcome Team on the day of your visit. Last orders are 15 minutes before closing. Outdoor seating is provided.

Allergen information

Most of the food and drink served is prepared on site in our kitchen, using a wide range of ingredients. As a result, we can’t guarantee that any of our food and drink products are completely allergen free.

If you have an allergy or intolerance and would like ingredient information about the food and drink served, please ask the staff, who will be happy to help.

Always check when you visit

Visited before? We sometimes change our recipes to improve quality and flavour, including the ingredients. When you visit, please speak to one of our team to check the current allergen information for your favourite dish.
