Welcome
The Cloverdale Retreat is located in a prime position in the Priory Country Park with extensive free car parking and a children’s play area close by.
A warm welcome awaits you within the Cafe. It has 40 covers inside with a splendid view access the main lake though our large front windows.
We have added a large area of elevated decking at the floor level with double door access from within. We are now able to seat over a 100 people during fine weather.
The Cloverdale Retreat Café has wheelchair access from a point at the rear of the building and near the car park. There is alternative wheelchair access via a ramp onto the decking with easy access into the building though wide double doors.
There are attached dog hooks outside the Café and a clean water bowl is always present. Whilst dogs are not permitted within the Café their owners are asked to use the picnic benches to the front. We are happy to bring their order out to them.
Most of our food is handmade and we endeavour to vary this periodically. We serve a good range of coffees, teas and cold drinks together with a choice of cakes, savoury snacks and lunches. Our soups, which are always handmade must be tried to be appreciated. If you fancy a more substantial meal then check our Chef’s daily specials.
Please come and enjoy the relaxed and friendly atmosphere. On colder days we offer shelter, warmth and comfort, with the great lakeside view. In the warmer months our decking is a star attraction which has attracted much praise. We are currently open from 10am to 5pm on all 7 days per week until further notice. We sometimes close later subject to the weather and numbers of visitors. If you have not yet visited, please see the map below or head to Barkers Lane. At the entrance drive straight on under the 2 metre barrier. We look forward to seeing you.
