Visited after the animal sanctuary open day on the may bank holiday. Lovely tiny cafe, offers cake and sausage rolls and hot/cold drinks. The cakes were delicious and all home made I recommend the strawberry and banana muffin slice and the lemon cake. I wish they could heat up the sausage rolls.

Looks like a lovely animal sanctuary but there is no cafe here. We stopped en route and were told they only open a few days a year and for special events.

Delicious homemade cakes, choice of indoor or outside seating. Beautiful small animal sanctuary: you can have coffee and see the amazing work they do with the animals.

We visited Goatacre Sanctuary and had a coffee and a cake before visiting the animals. Everyone was really friendly and all the profits go back into the sanctuary and the care of the animals. Definitely want to visit again!

I visited this lovely little café after the animal sanctuary's open day on the May bank holiday. They offer a variety of cakes, rolls, and both hot and cold drinks. The cakes were delightful and all made from scratch; I highly recommend the strawberry and banana muffin slice as well as the lemon cake. My only wish is that they could heat up the rolls.
