The Monk's Kitchen

Wow! We were a group of 7 (3 kids inc) and we were all blown away by the quality and efficiency of how well the Afternoon Tea was. We had a slight hiccup but the staff were great at resolving it and it didn't hugely affect our experience or afternoon. We took a gamble going here and boy were we glad we did, my auntie and mum were particularly impressed and very happy to plan their next trip back already!! I called up to make the booking only the day before, made a few requests on types of sandwiches and scones, and it was just as Catherine had explained on the call, her suggestions were super helpful and appreciated too especially when ordering for kids. The cafe itself was nice and modern and cozy too, as we were quite a big group with kids we were a bit loud now and then (as you'd expect) and we did notice some of the other patrons were not too impressed with this so we tried to keep it down as much as we could. Clean toilets which I think were shared with the cathedral visitors too but enough and pleasant enough. I definitely recommend this and would definitely like to come back for the right occasion. Thank you again to all the team there today you made it a special time for us all xx

Stumbled into this place by accident while in the cathedral and im so glad that we did!! We were hungry and gonna be looking for some breakfast anyways lol. The staff here were all so welcoming and understanding. It was one of our first days here so we were still getting used to the accents and what things were on the menu.

At last I made a trip to the Cathedral again when the cafe was open and was made very welcome and suggested where to sit hada snack lunch and it was excellent as was the pot of tea.Yes it's a lovely welcoming cafe Steps areca bit steep on the way in through the Cathedral so would recommend the door from the grounds of the cathedral is much more accessible .
