Can you cater for my party/wedding/meeting?
Absolutely! Outside catering is no problem for our experienced team and we currently provide freshly cooked food to several local businesses and can also cater to you. Just give us a call or email us and will put together some options for you to choose from.
Are dogs allowed in the cafe?
We love all animals and the owners of Monks Yard themselves have owned dogs, but not everyone does. So whilst we love to see dogs in our extensive gardens we do not allow them into the cafe.
However, if you have a well behaved pooch the cafe staff (at their discretion) may allow you to use one of our smaller rooms when available. Please ask at the counter or reception. Thank you for your understanding.
Please sanitise your hands before entering the cafe, and find a table number inside or out. Order at the counter and we will prepare your drinks as you wait. Once you’re seating with your drinks we will prepare your food and one of the team will bring it to your table.
Monks Yard gift shop ‘nest&nettle’, Debbie Munro’s ‘Lace Knittery’ and Glenn’s Antiques in the Manor House generally follow the cafe’s opening hours. Please see their respective websites to confirm:
