Had a really lovely visit at Sandstone Café today, after I visited the BeeStone Castle. I ordered two hot drinks and really enjoyed the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of the area. The lovely lady who served me was so happy and friendly – thank you for the warm service! There are also plenty of tables (around 18) so it’s a great spot to sit, relax, and take your time. Thank you, Sandstone Café

Ignore the negative nelly reviews here. Opening times stated clearly.. however be prepared for no real food like chips, burgers, etc. this is for snacks & drinks. So we had pasty, sausage roll, and two teas. Shame teas are in cardboard cups rather than returnable mugs. Food nice and we’ll definitely be back!!! Lady’s nice that work here. Ps Pre/packaged gluten free cakes & crisps.

Excellent picnic stop on the Sandstone Trail, even when the castle and cafe are closed.

Lovely little English Heritage outdoor kiosk with hot and cold drinks, soup, and snacks. Outdoor seating consists of picnic tables and umbrella tables with great views over the fields. It was the perfect place to stop and have a bit to eat after exploring Beeston Castle. Lovely staff too!
