Beautiful period building in the castle grounds with an open fire in the winter and a caring staff. Well priced food always prepared to order and arrives quickly. Well cooked and tasty .

It's a long time since I've eaten here. Just as cheap and good choice. So many places bus (high wycombe) now sell toasties and paninis with crisps and salad and charge £7 - £9. These are plain but only cost £2.80.

We did Tamworth Castle Grounds parkrun on Saturday. This lovely little cafe is just by the start/finish which had a roaring open fire burning inside. Unfortunately, it is quite small so we had to sit outside to enjoy our breakfast as not enough seating for our sizable group (but we did keep popping into to stand by the fire and warm out hands and smell the wood smoke!) Great value breakfast, and loved that you could have mushrooms on your bacaon or sausage sandwich, often not an option. And the small Full English included black pudding and coffe at just £6 Definitely recommended! (of course we also made a film of our day, you can watch that here: https://youtu.be/QMBA4nHzhkU )

This is a superb venue, a local treasure. The food is made to order, and it is always superb. Cold foods are always made daily, and the prices are kept low, too. The staff are brilliant, the venue is clean and tidy, and it is usually open 7 days a week, often from 8 am onwards. There is even a pet menu, too, and pets are allowed into the venue if well behaved. There is outdoor seating and table service, and seasonally, there is an outside servery usually for ice creams. It is located in the castle grounds opposite the play area and within walking distance of several car parks and the toilets as well as the bowling alley and Ankerside shopping centre.

Fantastic value small breakfast, freshly cooked, complete with a mug of tea! We have been several times whilst out for our walks...usually avoid peak play area times/ days as we enjoy it a bit quieter. The small cooked breakfast is plenty and so satisfying!

What a lovely little cafe in the beautiful surroundings of tamworth castle, plenty of food for all on the menu including specials boards, the chips were very nice and vegan friendly a good size and value for money, I hope to try the vegan strawberry ripple next time after more chips, staff very friendly and helpful and the inside was very clean and tidy. Great cafe for food while taking your kids to the park or just out walking your dog/s, See you again soon
