Tearoom & Picnic area

The Castle complex has a tearoom located in the visitor centre which seats approximately 50 people inside.

We have huge windows along one side of the dining room where you can enjoy a view of the castle grounds and grassy slope leading up to the huge wooden palisade and Main Gate.

The tea room sells a range of freshly made sandwiches and delicious toasted sandwiches, toasted paninis, pizzas, hot dogs, lovely hot soup-of-the-day with a roll and butter, Cornish pasties, sausage rolls, jacket potatoes, delicious cakes and cookies, popcorn, crips, ice creams as well as a selection of hot and cold drinks.

If you have a food allergy or intolerance please speak to a member of staff.

Outside dining & picnic area

Just outside the dining room we have an outdoor picnic area with a large covered section which can accommodate a large number of people.

There are even better views from here of the castle – you can enjoy your picnic whilst soaking up the atmosphere and peacefulness of the animals grazing and wandering around the castle grounds and also listening to the ancient church bells tolling serenely out from behind the castle walls.

Visitors are asked to not eat outside of the picnic area. Hand washing facilities are available by the picnic area.
