Cafe BurgSchneider Offering homemade German and English bakes, cakes, and savouries. This cafe is situated in the gatehouse of the gorgeous Brancepeth Castle.

Good morning all!
Despite the ghost town-look of this page I'm still here πŸ˜…

Here's an update of the current goings on:
Today (17/07/) I'm closing at 12.30 due to last-school-day shenanigans.

24-26/07/ is the Craft Fair at the castle, so beware the heaving masses- it'll likely be very busy in the cafe, but I will be open as usual.

We'll be closed for holidays from 17/08/ to 31/08/.

I hope you all have a lovely summer and to see you soon 🀩🌞
