Café
Caphouse Café
Something exciting is cooking at our new look Café!

We’ve given our Café a fresh new look, making it the perfect spot to relax with a bite to eat or indulge in a tempting treat. Come and take a look at our seasonal menu, packed with delicious breakfast and lunch choices for all tastes.
Children will love our fun Snap Tins – a delicious meal, a snack and a juice carton for only £5.95. There are plenty of high chairs available too, so it’s the perfect spot for all the family.
Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options are available across the menu. Please speak to a member of staff for further allergen information.
We can’t wait to welcome you!
Picnic Areas
The Museum has several outdoor picnic areas for those who like to dine alfresco. Head to the Pit Yard where you’ll fine plenty of tables, all with a great view of the pit wheel. Take a stroll along our Nature Trail to find picnic tables and benches throughout the woodland. You will also find plenty of picnic tables at Hope Pit near The Beach (perfect for watching the little ones enjoy our giant sand pit in Summer!).
Takeaway drinks and food are available at our Café and Snap Tin (during the Summer) to eat elsewhere on site. You can also buy cold drinks, snacks and ice creams in our Shop all year round. Please note that no food or drink is to be consumed inside our Galleries or immersive experiences (Underground Tour/Time Tunnel).
If you would like to eat your picnic indoors, check out our Indoor Picnic Area just behind the Pithead Baths.
