It’s been a while since sharing the menu so here it is again. No bookings available for event days, and tables are first come basis.

There’s plenty of seating on the patio area with some sun brolleys distributed along the platform. Plus a TSO coach for dining if you want to sit inside. In warmer months it can be quite warm on the carriage but there are windows and doors which are opened.

Cafe is open Wednesdays and weekends whilst the museum is open.
