Café in the Crypt

The Café in the Crypt has recently been refurbished with brand new kitchen facilities, new lighting, new furniture, 60 additional seats, a new and versatile buffet style servery and improved access for visitors with disabilities.

Whether enjoying a full English breakfast, a hot or cold lunch, traditional afternoon tea or a value for money evening dinner, diners can enjoy their meal sitting under the brick-vaulted ceiling and over the historic gravestones lining the crypt floor. All dishes are cooked on site, using the highest quality and freshest ingredients sourced from local and UK based suppliers. There is a new range of British themed menus which will change daily but always include a selection of classics including our famous bread and butter pudding and apple crumble served with custard. A selection of hot and cold sandwiches to take away will also be on offer.

In late 2008 customers can take away sandwiches and salads that can be pre-ordered from our website and then collected. Watch this space for further details.

Children are always welcome, with all main dishes available as children's portions. Major credit cards accepted.
