The Courtyard Cafe

Offering a wide ‘courtyard’ space, edged by colonnades, this Grade 1 listed space offers superb al fresco dining. In June 2006, £4m was spent to redevelop the internal space for visitor dining and corporate hospitality.  The Courtyard offers unrivalled dining space to all our visitors throughout the day and the Lakeside Terrace offers an alternative space for al fresco dining, covered with a canopy for light summer showers or to protect diners from the heat of the sun. Adjacent to the penguin pool, this superb space is perfect too for the little ones. 

 

 

Dishes change daily and include such delights as Slow Cooked Yorkshire Ham; Broad Beans, Apple and Pea Shoot salad with Mustard dressing, Blacksheep Ale Battered Cod Served with Skins on Chips, Mushy Peas and Tartare Sauce. 

 

 

 

The Courtyard is available, internally and externally, for conferences, meetings, parties and celebrations any time of year.
