11-12 January, reduced café offer: Due to a supply issue, we’re unable to sell sandwiches this weekend. You’re very welcome to bring a picnic, which you can enjoy either in the indoor seating area or in the garden.

Enjoy hot and cold drinks, snacks, and sweet treats, with seating both indoors and in the museum garden.

Our range

We proudly stock and support independent and environmentally-friendly businesses, both locally and from across the South East. Our range includes makers like Tregothnan Tea (the first tea grown and blended in Cornwall), Warings (Reading’s oldest bakery), Reads Coffee of North Dorset, and Mortimer Chocolate (hot chocolate produced here in Reading).

Plan your visit

Visit the café at any time during museum opening hours, Tuesday to Sunday.
