All of our delicious selection of desserts, cakes, slices and scones are made by John and our kitchen team of professional chefs to our own special recipes – nothing offered at the Café is bought in.
We also cater to those with dietary special needs with gluten-free (GF), dairy-free (DF), vegetarian and vegan choices available both on our Lunch Menu, and within our cake selection. Children’s menu available.
Dishes and prices may change seasonally. Please e-mail or call us at the Café if you’d like a copy of the current seasonal menu.
