The food is made using locally sourced produce, and vegan and vegetarian options are also plentiful, with all appetites catered for! There is also a children's menu available for little kingfishers.
Guests can unwind and enjoy views as they look out onto our 26 acre site from inside the cafe and also out on the decking area at the back. Brought your pooch with you for a walk? There is a designated area in the cafe for you to sit back and relax with your four legged friend as well as 2 seating areas outside they are welcome in.
Money raised from the café helps our charity raise money for vital conservation work in Staffordshire. Why not pay us a visit? Our friendly and welcoming staff would love to welcome you!
We are currently in the process of designing a new menu but we have a smaller menu running during the pandemic in the meantime
We also run additional menus at Christmas and are soon to be running themed food days such as Vegan and Curry.
