Tea Rooms

Open daily, our Tea Rooms serve breakfast, lunch, light bites and indulgent sweet treats for all ages. Our menu changes with the seasons and offers plenty of choice for both adults and children. You’ll find ample seating indoors and in our courtyard. 

We’re also proud to have made history as the first café within Leeds City Council to display the carbon footprint of selected menu items. It’s one of the ways we’re working to reduce our environmental impact. You can learn more about our sustainability efforts here.
