Taste of Durham award

We are proud to hold a Taste Durham award in recognition of our support of local food producers.

Sweet treats and light lunches

Our cafe, located just off the west side of the Cloister, is known for its delicious range of scones, cakes and biscuits, freshly prepared by our talented staff. 

Our lunch offer is constantly changing, but you'll always find a selection of cold sandwiches, soup and savoury scones. Whenever possible we use locally sourced produce and ingredients.

Drinks galore

We offer a great range of hot and cold drinks with freshly brewed bean to cup coffee and Brew Tea Company tea, the perfect companions to our delicious homemade cakes.
