When it comes to eating, Lydiard Park has a great range of options to choose from. We have two cafes situated within the park as well as a designated BBQ and picnic field.

Forest Café

The Forest Café is located near the Hook Street entrance, next to the children’s play area. The café has plenty to offer including hot and cold drinks, snacks and light lunches, freshly baked pastries and a tempting selection of cakes. If you fancy some of our tasty ice cream, look out for the Ice Cream Parlour, situated next door to the café (only open during high season).

Coach House Tea Rooms

The Coach House Tea Room is located near the Hay Lane entrance, in between the Walled Garden and Lydiard House. Enjoy the atmospheric setting of the restored horse stalls and stable buildings with a selection of hot and cold drinks, cream teas, light lunches, jacket potatoes, homemade soups, cakes and snacks.

Afternoon tea is available by advance booking only.

(Open subject to weather conditions. If it is very wet or there are high winds, it will close, but the takeaway window at the Forest Café will remain open.)
