Do not bother with this typical English Heritage rip.off cafe ..there are much nicer ones with better food in the village at top.Very expensive and the plain scone we had was dry hard and crumbly more like a biscuit than a scone.I had a savoury cream tea..the cheese scone was ok would have been nicer warm and the cheese was bland..the chutney nice but the tiniest tub.It is served conveyor belt style in a cardboard tray..ditto the cups.The only thing making it worthwhile is its strategic location with amazing views.Next time i would wait until i got back up to top for refreshment.But it fits with the over priced gift shop selling expensive tat..£40 for a mass produced
small statue..really?Fridge magnets cheaper in gift shops above too.The little museum display good and toilets welcome..but a tourist trap.Of course it in no way detracts from the amazing castle ruins...

Thank you so much to the wonderful staff for such a...
Read moreWe've been here a few times over the years and had good food - lunches (crab sarnie and rarebit recommended).

Really poor - shouldn't have been served. I have had much better there so know they can do it. Fruit scones were substantially smaller than plain too. The earl grey tea - Twinings "The Earl" - was very...
