HRH Princess Alexandra opened the new Refectory in July 2001. The Catering team enjoy welcoming pilgrims to this new and exciting eating place. Pilgrims staying in our accommodation can choose between bed & breakfast, half-board or full board rates and all will enjoy the wonderful new surroundings.

The Refectory offers a wide choice of meals - special diets are catered for. Packed meals can also be provided with advanced notice.

THE NORTON CAFE BAR

The Norton Café Bar (pictured right) is a very popular spot; all visitors - pilgrims, tourists or passers-by are welcomed. The Norton Café Bar is normally open throughout the year between late January and early December (from 10 am until  11.00 pm during the Pilgrimage Season); in the winter months the time of closing may be 4.30 pm - this depends on the number of pilgrims in residence.

A wide selection of specialist coffees, teas, homemade cakes and sandwiches are available. There is a light meals menu which is available between 11.30 am and 2.00 pm. The Norton Café Bar is fully licensed and a wide range of wines, beers/lagers  (both bottled and draught) and spirits are on sale. For those pilgrims eating in the main dining room, glasses or bottles of wine can be purchased in the main Refectory; wines, beers and spirits can also be taken from the Café Bar up to the Refectory.

With doors opening on to a garden terrace, the Norton Café Bar provides both indoor and outdoor seating.
