Our staff at Café Raystede prepare fresh food and drinks on site daily, using many ingredients and shared equipment.

Whilst we do our best to manage allergens, we cannot guarantee that any of our food or drinks are allergen-free or suitable for those with allergens. This is due to the risk of cross-contact.

Thank you.

All profits generated in the café go directly into helping the animals in our care.

As a leading Centre for Animal Welfare we are committed to delivering the highest standards of animal welfare to the animals in our care.

Profits from our café form a significant contribution towards the funding of these services.

As such our policy is to be inclusive and cater for all sections of society, providing extensive vegetarian and vegan options whilst sourcing any meat and dairy from local, high welfare farming systems.

We politely ask that visitors do not bring picnics so as not to tempt our birds and also to reduce the risk of litter blowing around the site and potentially harming our animals. Please support us in the café.

We look forward to welcoming you!

Help keep our animals warm and safe this winter

As the cold weather sets in, our animals need your help more than ever. Winter is a challenging time for our animals who have often been mistreated, neglected or abandoned.

But, with your help they will spend Christmas in the care of our amazing animal welfare team.
