Food and drink at the Minster this summer
We are delighted to announce that in July and August we will be running The Minster Summer Pop-Up Cafe. The menu will include barista coffee, tea, freshly baked scones, iced coffee, ice cream, and delicious light breakfasts and lunches.
To make the most of the summer season, the pop-up will be serving from a variety of locations across the Minster grounds. During the first few weeks you'll find us in the usual cafe location just off Church Street, next to the Cathedral Shop. Keep an eye on our Facebook page and website for opening hours and details of where to find the pop-up next.
Many of you will be aware that our current catering partner’s lease for the Refectory concludes at the end of June. We would like to express our deep gratitude to the Griffin family for their dedicated service over the past 30 years. Their contribution to the life of the Minster has been greatly appreciated by generations of customers, and we wish them every success and happiness in their new venture.
The Minster Summer Pop-Up Cafe will be up and running from Thursday 2 July.
We look forward to welcoming you!
The cafe occupies a fantastic location inside Southwell Minster grounds, with magnificent views that can be enjoyed on our patio area. Indoor seating also available. An ideal spot to enjoy one of our scrumptious cakes and a pot of tea.
Our ethos is to serve seasonal, good quality, locally sourced food where possible.
We also have a selection of vegetarian and gluten-free options available daily.

The Cathedral Shop at Southwell Minster serves as a point of contact, welcome and ministry for visitors to the Minster and to the town of Southwell. It is situated on Church Street and staffed by customer service volunteers.
There is a focus on selling items which are from the UK as well as ethically traded gifts. The shop sells many locally produced items, with gifts including Nottingham Lace, local pottery, Nottingham knitted and hand finished scarves. It also stocks a good selection of local books on the history of Southwell and the surrounding villages.
Many of the gifts are associated with the carvings and decoration in the Minster, such as the Chapter House 'Leaves of Southwell' and the carvings of mice. You can also purchase a range of choral and organ CDs, hymn books and musical gifts, which draw on the musical heritage of the Minster.
The shop aims to serve the wider Church community by providing a range of specifically Christian goods, such as rosaries, crosses and specialist cards (e.g. Baptism, Ordination) as well as Christian books from publishers including SPCK, Church House Publishing and Norwich Books. Parishes may purchase candles, communion wine and wafers.
