The Lime Kiln Cafe is set within the stunning nature reserve.
The perfect place to refuel after a walk, drop in and enjoy a range of hot and cold drinks, pastries, sandwiches and paninis. We also have lots of freshly baked cakes and sweet treats to tempt you too. All served with incredible views out on to the nature reserve. We even have binoculars in case you spot our resident Spoonbill or Kingfisher.
Did you know? We always try to source local, seasonal ingredients and our coffee grounds are reused by a local community garden for compost. We also want everyone to be able to enjoy their experience, so we have vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options available.
