Lord Leycester Cafe — Restaurant in Warwick

A Hidden Gem in a Historic Setting – The Perfect Sunday Roast or Cream Tea!

Tucked away in the stunning Lord Leycester Hospital, this tea room is a well-kept secret. From the outside, you’d never guess that inside, you can indulge in one of the finest classic Sunday roasts.

The quality of the food is nothing short of amazing— tasty meats, rich and flavourful gravy, and roast vegetables. Portions are spot on, leaving you satisfied but not overwhelmed. And if you have room for dessert, the brownie with ice cream is to die for—decadent, rich, and utterly irresistible.

Service is warm and welcoming, making you feel like a regular even on your first visit. Adding to the charm, this historic gem is also a filming location for the BBC's Shakespeare & Hathaway, making it a must-visit for TV and history fans alike. Scattered throughout the space are treasures from the past, including an original chair used by King James I in 1617, giving the setting an extra sense of grandeur.

Perhaps part of the reason the atmosphere felt even calmer and more intimate than usual is that the historic building itself is not open until March. It might be a little busier when visitors arrive.

Whether you’re after a hearty Sunday meal or simply want to soak in the historic surroundings with a cup of tea, this hidden treasure is well worth...

I also brought in my own wines paying corkage. Lovely old building and Jayne the chef did a great job with the food, and I definitely recommend the roast beef which was really lean. All-in-all a very enjoyable time was had by everyone, and many thanks to Stacey and the team for being so...
