Our savoury offerings include mixed salads, the infamous Garden Kitchen sausage rolls, sandwiches and often a slice or hot food offer.

Access

The whole of the café, which is a conversion of some of the original parts of Kettle’s Yard, not part of the new development, is not fully accessible to wheelchair users. The lower area of the café, next to the entrance area, and the outdoor seating is accessible for wheelchair users. As this space is limited, wheelchair users and their party can reserve spaces at these tables. Priority is given to visitors in wheelchairs for these seats at all times, so if you have not been able to book, you should still be able to get a seat.

The counter is up some steps. Café staff are trained to look out for visitors in wheelchairs in the lower area and there is also a bell that you can use, to alert staff to come and assist you and take your order.  Call ahead, email or visit the information desk to book. The café email is gardenkitchenky@gmail.com alternatively call 01223 748100. Please check with a member of café staff if you have any particular dietary needs.
