Good, honest food, homemade scones and cakes and the best view in town, with indoor and outdoor seating.

This year's summer graduations begin on Tuesday and once again we'll be here to help everyone celebrate.

The fizz 🍾 is on ice and the cafe will be open from 7.30am on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. All welcome!

What a glorious and peaceful spot for a refreshing drink or bite to eat to recover from a late night drama, perhaps?

We had a bit of rain earlier 🌩 and the Undercroft got a bit wet. .

The fantastic cafe team got the mop buckets out but we couldn't hold back the flood! About an hour later we were all back to normal and serving Celine Dion fans. It certainly was a titanic effort!

Our cafe and bar are open until 8.30pm tonight for Celine Dion by Candlelight. Lovely evening for it 👍
