The Cathedral Café sits in the shadow of the medieval cloister and creates a wonderful atmosphere to enjoy a good cup of coffee. Recently built, the Cathedral Café is a perfect location with an up-to-date kitchen and welcoming staff. With indoor and outdoor seating, you can appreciate the sights of the ancient cathedral directly or you can tuck inside in their spacious café building directly connected to the medieval fratry.
Here you can enjoy a range of light lunches and hot and cold drinks from their seasonal and fully homemade menu. They also serve afternoon tea. Additionally, award-winning local brand, John Watt & Son supplies all their coffee!
