Sunshine, brunch and the castle lawn…

Our lovely new plates have arrived, which means we can now serve our full menu outside on the lawn and terrace.

If you haven’t tried our brunch yet, this is your sign. From beautifully prepared seasonal plates to great coffee and homemade cakes, it’s the perfect spot to slow down and enjoy the surroundings.

Join us at Hay Castle Café and make the most of dining al fresco.
