Cathedral Cafe in Worcester

Just about passable. 1/ sit inside as it is much warmer than the outside cloisters. 2/ all the cushions are well worn and need replacing, the staff don't really know what they are doing, the service is a bit hit and miss, the prices are expensive to say the least. The toilets are ok. There must be better places to eat in Worcester as there cant be much worse places to eat. Seems to attract eccentrics like people who shout across the cafe to other diners and people who employ their phone on loud speaker thinking that this is acceptable for modern public interaction in britain.

Lovely place but the expensive, machine cappuccino served in paper cups was the worst I've ever tasted. Invest in a proper coffee maker and some cups please 🙏

Super fantastic place to have a coffee and meet friends or simply Sit in the hosue of God on your own. Staff are friendly and eager to help. Food is freshly made and delicious.

On a visit to see the wonderful Christmas trees we called at the cafe where the staff were working under pressure. I ordered soup which was served lukewarm in a cardboard cup with a plastic teaspoon which seemed to be at odds with the ecological message of the tree display. The soup came with sliced bread and no butter. A dismal experience.

Rather disappointed with our toastie lunch today (29/09/22). Hot food served on stone cold plates, so food didn’t stay as hot as it would have on a hotter/warmed plate. Plus, we were given a coffee and not the camomile tea, that we had ordered. The one saving grace was the excellent service (in spite of wrong drink and cold food), which could not be faulted. The ladies were cheerful, helpful and dealt with the error swiftly. Well done!

Despite 6 staff and a queue of only 5 orders ahead of us, the purchase of 4 ice-cream took over 15 mins. They could improve matters if all the food orders were sent out after queuing. One lady served a customer drinks and pasties and the rest of us were all looking bemused, how long it took.

My friend and I were visiting to see the Christmas tree display which was amazing, we went into the cafe for a snack and hot drink, we chose a fruit scone each with jam, sad to say the scones were stale, hard and inedible we had to throw them away, the queue to be served was long otherwise we would have taken them back, so that’s why I’ve left a review.

A lovely spot in the Cathedral gardens on a lovely sunny day. Staff were helpful, careful , given Covid-19 requirements, and friendly. The food was lovely, and ethically sourced. We would visit again.

This lovely cafe in the cathedral cloisters has always provided a much needed snack and thirst quenching pot of tea! I hope it will re- open soon as I miss it greatly. The cakes are incredible and healthy snacks too!

Situated in the Cloisters its wonderful to pop in for refreshment after a trip around the Cathedral. Nice cakes and helpful staff. It always feels very calm - even with my 2 year old grandson in tow!

My first visit and I was made most welcome, a real gem of a cafe and delightfully off the beaten track.

We had lunch here on a visit to the cathedral. Nice selection of light bites. We had excellent homemade soup. Cakes looked good too! Excellent coffee and very friendly service. Just the job.

We visited on Saturday morning , first people in at 9.00am. Really friendly greeting from the owner which got the visit off well. Food was all well cooked , piping hot too ! Very good value for money. Already planning to pop in again first opportunity we get Can highly recommend. Definite 10/10

Family run cafe with delicous food and lovely people. Hand written menus are a lovely touch.

Lovely setting. Cosy cafe in the cloisters

As usual the ladies were welcoming and friendly. We popped in and had hot drinks, toast and a bacon sarnie. Well cooked to order and served with a smile. Great little local cafe!

I only review when I find a truly excellent place, and this is one. Where have you ever had home-made haggis on the menu in October? There is also fish pie and other proper fare including vegetarian! But the haggis is outstanding, as is normal as the cook is from Scotland. I hesitate to recommend as this is a TINY restaurant. Do go when in Worcester.

Dined here whilst visiting the cathedral. Pleasant, efficient staff with good choice of food. You could choose to eat in the cafe or in the cloisters as we did. Cheerful tablecloths and plant helped with the experience. I had a jacket potato with cheese and salad whilst hubby chose broccoli quiche with new potatoes. He also had a starter of tomato soup.

Amazing brekkie super friendly!

Very nice food, the Scottish breakfast was a big hit and the quality & quantity of food was good value.

Went for big breakfast and was very impressed

Friendly, welcoming. Good food 😊🤗

we enjoyed some excellent food here.well prepared.very friendly staff,nothing too much trouble.will visit again.

My wife and I had breakfast here on Saturday 9th 2019, my wife was buying a motor bike form just round the corner.I had the extra large breakfast but I did not want the fried bread or the beans so they gave me an extra egg, sausage and hashbrown. My wife had a bacon sandwich. The food was vary good, and the people there were friendly. If you are in Worcester give this cafe a go.

We called in off chance as during a visit to Worcester and were not disappointed. My wife had a weel prepared fish pie and I had, unexpectedly , haggis ,neeps and tatties ( Google it !!) The staff were interested in us and the ambiance in this little restaurant was very welcoming . And the bottled ale was not straight from the fridge but served at room temperature

We enjoyed a simple lunch after a tour of the cathedral. They offer an impressive lunchtime menu full of good homemade food.

Nice food and waitress, would come again.

Very attentive, interting decor, peaceful, breakfast cooked just how I like it - exactly what I needed today. Thank you!

Wonderful homemade scones, especially heavenly if you arrive as they come fresh out of the oven. Fabulous staff!! 😀

Lovely place to visit, great selection and very friendly staff

Lovely breakfast. Warm welcome.

Have visited here in the past but not for breakfast. The full English was well cooked and really good value for the price. The selection on the menu appears limited but you can pretty much order any combination that you like and they will accommodate. The ladies who own/run the cafe provide a warm welcome and nothing is too much trouble. Good Scottish hospitality in the heart of Worcester!

This café is close to the Cathderal in Worcester it was easy to find it. My sister in law and I came here for some soup and we were not disappointed. For a Monday lunchtime the café was quite quiet but we were delighted to get a seat. We both ordered the leek and potato soup and we did not have long to wait for it to arrive. The portions were generous and we were offered water if we wanted it. The soup was lovely and we were ready for a good walk after our lunch.

Popped in today for a coffee, needed that break and I had great service, excellent coffee. nice place. Only a few minutes walk from the Cathedral and near the carpark. Certainly Recommend including the Scottish twist..

This is an excellent small cafe, it had a homely feel. We were warmly welcomed and we decided to have the soup of the day - leek and potato. The cafe is close to the cathedral and right beside a nice sized car park. The cafe was quiet at the time we visited but I suspect it gets very busy from time to time.

Had a wonderful Saturday morning Breakfast. Great service & a full English Breakfast with a Scottish twist. Certainly recommended

On a recent visit to Worcester we passed this café several times because we were staying at the nearby Diglis House Hotel. It looked very attractive, so on our last day when my husband and I had agreed to meet back at the Hotel, he decided to call in for lunch. I had been on a coach trip which ended round the corner. My husband jumped out saying "I'm in here having lunch!" So I went in and joined him in some freshly made broccoli soup. The lunch choices were wonderful. To end the visit I went to the ladies room, and halfway home realized I had left my ring in the ladies. I shouldn't have worried because the beautiful Scottish lady proprietor had found it and tried to find me. This café is a stone's throw from the Cathedral, King's School, the river Severn and the Worcester Porcelain Museum which is in the process of being renovated. It is a short distance from the city centre, but well worth a detour. I can't recommend it highly enough..

Emma and Luciana are very welcoming an e the cafe has a lovely atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

Had a great coffee and very tasty pasta lunch here after visiting the cathedral.

As unspoken said it started of well however it has gone down hill rapidly. We weren't allowed to sit in after someone left a review but now even if we buy something on the hottest day in 40 yrs she won't even let us fill up our water bottles.

Recently visited for lunch by myself. Lovely calming atmosphere good menu choice and welcoming staff. I would go back alone or with friends.

Relaxed atmosphere, like sitting in someone's lounge. Good food, nice coffee, friendly service.

Four of us ate here three times during the The Three Choirs Festival and we love the friendly atmosphere and the good home cooking. Sometimes the vegetables aren't quite as good as they might be, though the potatoes are always excellent, but the sticky toffee pudding (specially made for us on request) was voted by one of our party as the best ever. A perfect spot to eat after a visit to the Cathedral.

Lovely tasty fresh food and prepared something specifically for my vegetarian friend. Very welcoming

Straightforward food and friendly hosts - lovely poached eggs and bacon on toast. Handy for the Museum of Royal Worcester and for the Cathedral.

Lovely cafe, smallish but friendly, clean and with really nice fresh food, including bacon sarnies and cakes. Recommend.

Me and my mates go in for food often but now when we buy something she says we can't sit down because of one little problem that wasn't our fault(we just know the person who did it) and treats us like we we're hoolagens

Cute place. Quiet. Unrushed.good food.

Haggis, Neeps and Tatties! Amazing menu and wonderful hosts. Thank you xxxx

Lovely people. Delicious breakfast. Best scrambled egg I have ever tasted in my life!

After visiting the Cathedral, we decided to have a light lunch in the Cathedral Cafe.

Three of us met in here for a coffee and catch up, we have all been in before and love the friendliness and home made food. We all had scones and jam this morning which were very good and we sat chatting for ages, the two ladies are always so friendly and welcoming I do recommend this cafe

Excellent service served by very friendly staff who are always ready to chat offering fantastic food. We both had a bacon and mushroom bap with side salad this was cooked to perfection We visit regular and they never fail to serve top a top notch serviice

We frequently visit Cathedral Cafe for either lunch or breakfast and are always made welcome. I'd certainly recommend a BLT sandwich. Lovely people and always well served.

This is an unassuming place but the welcome and friendliness of the two ladies running it on Saturday was outstanding, as was the tea loaf. Not to be confused with the café inside the cathedral. Highly recommended.

Either a traditional Full Scottish breakfast, inc flat sausage & haggis, or the best handmade scones you'll find for miles, this is a gem of a find. Well priced with a brilliant warm atmosphere that's lacking in the bland cafes & coffee houses that have over run Worcester. Take your time out to check out this gem & visit the two lovely ladies who run the cafe.

Lovely home cooked food and great hosts. Will definately be visiting again.

I visited this cafe with my friend after we'd been to the cinema seeing on the menu brie and cranberry sandwiches we remarked that we also liked bacon with these two items and one of the very friendly Scottish ladies said it was not a problem so we enjoyed these with a very good pot of tea. This really is the friendliest cafe with lovely home cooked food

Close to the cathedral but away from the busy High Street this the spot for you the relax and enjoy the joys of some good home cooking and get informed of things to do and see from the ladies always on hand to provide information with the excellent food available

This little cafe is close to the Cathedral, The loveliest, friendliest Scottish ladies run this little restaurant The breakfast is good traditional and tasty, and good value for money - plenty choice, warm atmosphere and very friendly. Ladies willing to adapt to any variation of breakfast to satisfy all our differing tastes.

Just what was needed on a cold January lunchtime following a slightly chilly amble round the Cathedral. At times like this only Full English will do and very good it was too. My wife had a generous bowl of broccoli and stilton soup which looked very good indeed. Friendly and attentive service and clearly they have loyal regular customers. Don't go to the chain eateries - this is much better.

The cafe ladies are very friendly and welcoming. Home cooked food and a chat. Visit regularly. Always warm and lots of choice on the menu, all home cooked. Always a smell of cake baking as you enter. They cannot do enough for you.

A bitterly cold day to visit the Cathedral. My feet were like blocks of ice so we nipped in here for lunch. We were seated in the window with the winter sun weakly beaming in. Two radiators either side were just the job. My husband had full English which he said was deliciously fresh, except for the bacon. He likes his bacon cremated. I told him he should have asked, the cheerful Scottish ladies would have done it. I had milk poached haddock on spuds with an egg on top. Perfectly cooked fish. My old mate, Chris, had scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. She ate every last bit. So all in all a very successful lunch at a slightly batty establishment that made us very welcome and who's cooks can cook simple food really, really well.

Been here many times for morning coffee and once for lunch. Excellent food and value. Delightful setting.

This little cafe is close to the Cathedral, a couple of minutes from the town centre and next to Kings car park. It is run by the loveliest Scottish ladies (makes me feel right at home). The food is good traditional and tasty, and good value for money - plenty choice, warm atmosphere and very friendly.

We enjoyed a light lunch here a couple of times whilst visiting the decorated christmas trees. It is cosy, clean and tasty fresh food ..... worth tracking down if visiting Worcester or taking friends new to the City.

I've used this cafe many. many times and never been disappointed. Whether for breakfast or lunch it's good food served well and great value. The staff always meke you welcome.

Lovely cafe with a variety of light lunches, soups and cakes. A favourite spot for afternoon tea when visiting Worcester.

Perfect for a cuppa and maybe a sweet snack whilst looking round cathedral. Seemed to be a lot of elderly locals using it too! They also make up sandwiches to order.

Stop here for an excellent afternoon tea during a must visit to the Worcester Cathedral. Excellent staff and service and reasonably priced. we have enjoyed this lovely little café several times.

looked very attractive from the outside with flowers, nice looking tables/chairs etc. Had the smoked haddock with egg which was absolutely lovely. Ideal for a reasonably priced meal or snack near the cathedral or the Royal Worcester Museum. Although called the Cathedral café I am not aware whether it has any connection with the cathedral. There is a café within the cathedral precinct which should not be confused with this one.

This corner cafe is between the Cathedral and the wonderful Royal Worcester Pottery Museum. We had breakfast there one day and went back for a lunch another day, a great place with good food and a most friendly welcome and lovely service.

We always visit the Cathedral Café in Severn Street whenever we visit Worcester for our regular walk. Parking near the Royal Worcester Porcelain Museum we walk down to the Diglis Weir and bridge and then back up the other side past the Cathedral and the new Diglis housing development. If you are lucky you will see a heron on the weir, searching patiently for his lunch.

The place is small but cute. The selection is not that wide but we had scones and they were really good. Cluttered cream and jam.

My sister and I went to the Cathedral Cafe (not the cafe in the Cathedral cloisters) for breakfast. We were offered a full English breakfast at a very reasonable cost and it was very well cooked. We were warmly welcomed when we arrived as was my sister's little dog and it was a very pleasant experience. We would definitely go again.

We didn't know this place existed as found it by chance. We had a lovely cosy lunch which was freshly made. Very friendly clean and welcoming. We are going again this week for breakfast.

This little cafe was open while we waited for the Porcelain Museum to open. It was very welcoming, and homely. The tables looked fresh and clean with their oilcloths and there was plenty of choice of cake- even lemon drizzle! We had a chat to the owner, a lovely hot drink, toasted teacake, and then the museum opened! Thanks for a lovely respite from the cold.

This cafe is unique and charming. I don't know anywhere else like it in Worcester.

A lovely little cafe run by two Scottish ladies, Very homely small but good wholesome food, serving breakfasts, soups lunches and cakes.. Good,prices, Only faultnI found plastic table covers, so much nicer is they had checked or similar table cloths.

Some reviewers are confusing this with the café inside the Cathedral, this is actually a small café close to the Royal Worcester factory and the car park. Its a bit cluttered inside giving the impression its part way into a reorganisation. The soup was great though.

We stopped here for coffee and cake after our tour of the Cathedral. It is quite busy and noisy, and probably not ideal for a quiet meal. It was however fine for a quick break and refreshments, and is very convenient for anyone visiting the cathedral.

Did we eat at the same café? We popped in after a visit to the Museum and the choice of food looked very good but as we sat waiting and looked around it was not the cleanest of places. Crumbs on the tables were not cleared off and looking at the lampshades they were very dirty and covered in dust. The food choice was very good but when it came it was luke warm and not very appetising. Although friendly I feel the place could do with a good clean.

We popped in to the Cathedral Cafe for a quick lunch whilst out shopping on Saturday. It makes such a lovely change to eat in a cafe that isn't part of a national chain, and has some local atmosphere. The cafe is run by a mother and daughter combo, and they work extremely hard to make everyone feel really welcome - from the builders who pop in for a bacon sandwich, to the regulars who stop for afternoon tea. I had duck & orange pate with granary toast, and it was outstanding - it always is. Ciana (the owner) does make the most awesome pates, her chicken liver pate is also fabulous. My husband had the homemade lasagna which was really delicious, and this was accompanied by chunky potato wedges - really yummy!

very good choice of food with a good variety for everyone. A great atmosphere in there and the staff were very helpfull

The cathedral café is warm, welcoming and fantastic. The staff are extremely friendly and kind. The food is excellent and it couldn't be in a better place. In a lovely quiet street seconds from the cathedral this is the perfect place to grab a coffee or some lunch. The cooked breakfast is highly recommended along with the homemade scones.

Small but that makes it more inviting. Made to feel welcome, and good food. Close to the Cathedral, parking nearby but restricted in the street.

It's only a cathedral cafe, but most items seemed good quality. High ceilings and echo-ey so not the quiet continuation from the cathedral. Bathroom facilities spotless and very modern

Stopped here for a snack lunch after visiting the Royal Worcester Museum. External signage is limited, so you may miss it! Seating 30 people inside and 4 outside. Operated by 3 people who know all the regulars by name. Seated at table for 4 with thin cushions on wooden chairs and plastic tablecloth covered tables. Tiled floor. Separate male and female toilets.

Only stopped for a welcome coffee prior to walking around, friendly staff noted. Nice selection of cakes. Go there.

A tiny. family-run café, just up the road from Royal Worcester Porcelain museum (not to be confused with the Cloister café in the Cathedral itself).

Can't fail to love this place. Fresh food using fresh produce, made by profesionals and it shows.

Firstly, Cathedral Café is not in the cathedral. There is a café in the cathedral and jolly nice it is, too but this is a different joint. Actually, it’s not even in sight of the cathedral but snuggled down behind the cathedral, on the way to the pottery museum in Severn Street.

Vi besökte katedralen och passade på att ta lunch i det lilla cafét där. Vi tog dagens soppa + dryck. Det smakade bra eftersom det också var kallt och regnigt ute. Bra priser med trevlig och vänlig personal.
