Cafe at the museum

About Cafe at the museum

Tucked into a corner of the museum, this is a small, cosy room where the smell of cooking hits you the moment the door opens — and it's usually busy, so expect to squeeze a pram past a table or two. Staff spot you quickly, hand over menus and come back to check in without hovering, which helps when a toddler is fraying. Food arrives fast and properly hot: the club sandwich comes crisp, the soups steam, and the fry-up on a hot plate has a following. Portions are generous — "nearly too much", as one parent puts it — and two mains with drinks runs to just under £30. High chairs, a kids' menu and outdoor seating are there, and parking is free. Worth knowing: hot food stops well before the 4pm close, so go earlier rather than later.
