Old Kiln Cafe - Menu

This restaurant is fantastic, with delicious cake and coffee. The staff is extremely helpful and attentive, and it's a hit with kids too.

Fab roast beef and vegetable loaf with awesome roast potatoes and fresh veg. Awesome dessert . 100%. Third visit. Warm friendly atmosphere . Most enjoyable as always.

Hearty basic food served in a 'shed ' at The Rural Life Centre. Pleasant enough port in a storm but don 't expect fine dining. It is what it is unpretentious and acceptable. View menu

Lots of seating available both indoors and outdoors. The food is cooked to order, so it's very fresh. Just be aware that it may take some time. It's hard to say exactly about the prices, but it's not cheap nor expensive. Expect to pay between £5 to £8 per person.

Went for a sandwich and tea while visiting the Rural Life Centre. My Stilton sandwich was excellent and freshly made with pickle and a small salad plus a very nice mug of tea for £6. Lots of choice of food and drinks and all reasonably priced. Very good value and recommended.

We went in the summer and had an amazing burger and chips from the outdoor grill. For the same price £8), today we had ham, egg and chips which consisted of 1 mediocre slice of packaged ham, 1 egg, sad looking salad leaves. Chips were nice though. Very underwhelmed for the money! Always friendly staff though. View menu

This was our first visit and certainly won't be our last ...we thought our food was absolutely lovely ...Steve had soup with toasted cheese and said he hadn't tasted soup so tasty and the rest of us had wonderful toasted sandwiches complete with salad garnish and cheesy chips ...everything was piping hot and we really enjoyed it It does say on menu that you may have to wait a bit for food as everything is freshly made ! so don't expect ur food to be served five minutes after ordering but it certainly was worth the wait

I visited this restaurant for the first time and found the surroundings to be pleasant. However, the staff informed me that they were unable to prepare any of the cooked items on the menu and it took a long time for them to bring out my cold hot drinks. Although the staff seemed young and stressed, they made a mistake with my coffee order by serving it with milk instead of the non-dairy option I had requested. Thankfully, I do not have a serious allergic reaction to dairy, but for someone who does, this could have been a dangerous situation. I feel compelled to share my experience to prevent anyone from potentially facing a life-threatening scenario.

The Old Kiln Cafe is located within the Rural Life Centre and is within the reception shop building. There is a large well organised outdoor area with burger and tea bar facility used for events of which the Rural Life Centre has many. The bacon butty, as the title states, is brilliant. Plenty of good smoked back bacon. Like everything about the cafe; generous, practical and well presented. The result is a busy spot with good sized family tables making for a convivial atmosphere. In the Winter months the cafe is only open on Wednesday and Sundays. Check the opening times on the Rural Life website. A hearty menu, good coffee and cake provide all that could be required. Especially on a Winters... View menu
