The bright and airy Lincoln Cathedral café is located within the visitor centre and is open daily, offering a variety of options from hearty breakfasts to light lunches and a range of tempting treats alongside a selection of barista coffee and specialist teas.
Our range of cakes and tray bakes are baked locally and change regularly, meaning there is always something new to try.
Not to forget our younger visitors, a children’s menu features a variety of hot and cold options and high chairs are also available.
As well as offering a varied menu, the café boasts fantastic views of the cathedral. On bright sunny days, there is no better place to relax and enjoy a peaceful coffee or glass of wine over lunch than the Dean’s Green terrace, surrounded by beautiful planting and unbeatable views.
The courtyard, a sheltered suntrap is a perfect spot to finish your visit to the cathedral or for meeting friends.
Table service operates throughout the café, so simply find a table and a server will come to you to take your order.
Looking for something special?
The Café serves a wonderful afternoon tea including a selection of classic sandwiches, scones and bite-size cakes. You can even upgrade to a sparkling afternoon tea by adding a glass of prosecco. Pre-booking is required.
Arriving by bike?
Cyclists are most welcome in the cafe and can often be found resting weary legs in the courtyard. If you plan to stay a little longer, bicycles may be stored in the dedicated store in the Dean’s Green.

The cafe offers a number of vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. Should you have any additional requirements, please speak to a member of staff who will be happy to assist you.
