What User likes about The Refectory:
that was our first visit. we had our grandson with us who is months. the personal was really friendly. we came minutes before the breakfast menu, so decided to wait for the lunch menu, we both decided for the cheese ham panini. they were delicious and came with salat and crawl. the tables were cleaned as soon as the guests were left. the caffe was immaculate. we will be back View all feedback.

Nestled within the enchanting grounds of Southwell Minster, this café offers a picturesque setting with a variety of menu options, including gluten-free and vegetarian choices.

Overall, this café is a worthy stop for those seeking quality dining amidst scenic surroundings, making it a notable destination for visitors.
