The Ration book Café
The Ration Book Café is open to visitors from 10am - 4pm Friday to Sunday and Bank Holidays. It's also available for Group Visits at other times as required. Fully wheelchair accessible there is seating in the cafe, under cover outside and at various picnic benches around the site. If you are a wheelchair user, disabled, or reliant on support, our volunteers will be pleased to deliver your order to your chosen location if need-be. Hot and cold drinks, cakes and light lunches are available.
Dogs on leads are welcome on the museum grounds, but only Guide dogs and Assistance dogs are permitted in the Ration Book Cafe. However, you're more than welcome to use one of the picnic benches at various locations around the site. If you have come to visit with your dog, you can walk it around the rear display area of the museum and sit with it on the covered decking beside the Cafe or in front of the Military Room, but regrettably, we don't have any indoor areas where they can stay during your visit.
If you have a special event, daytime or evening group visit planned, a finger buffet can be arranged in advance, and we have a number of caterers who can be called in. If either you, or one of your guests have special dietary requirements or have a specific food allergy, do please be sure to make this known to us well before the event.
