The Café

At Kiplin

Our new Café is now open, along with the rest of the site and Visitor Centre. We are open 6 days a week, closed on Thursdays. Our menu features seasonal produce and changing daily specials. Well behaved dogs are welcome in the Café. You do not need a ticket to use the Café or the Gift Shop in the Visitor Centre, but we are sure you’ll be tempted to buy a ticket and explore!

Last orders 4:30pm.
