The Makers Kitchen

A superb freshly ground cappuccino with beans roasted locally from Monsoon Estates of nearby Stratford-upon-Avon

We’d highly recommend trying their poached eggs with locally roasted asparagus or their toasted feta & beetroot bagel. Finish off with a generous portion of their cherry & almond cake

The menu changes by the season where you'll find refreshingly different choices from your usual cafe staples; bagels, terrines, ‘on sourdough’, alongside homemade cakes and locally roasted coffee

Americano (£2.80), cappuccino (£3.15), tea (£2.75), thick Greek yogurt (£6.50), roasted asparagus & poached eggs on sourdough (£9.50), fried or poached eggs on toast (£7.50), beans on sourdough (£6.50), pork, apple & rosemary sausage roll (£8.50), spiced vegetable sausage roll (£7.95), soup of the day (£6.00), simply sourdough (£3.00), cakes (from £3.00), flapjacks (£2.75)

Bikes can be left in their dedicated courtyard bike racking or alternatively beside the outdoor seating which conveniently also is a rather lovely sun trap

Groups of all sizes will have no trouble finding a spot here, there’s a large number of tables in the sheltered outdoor terrace alongside a good selection inside the light & airy barn too

Situated just a mile outside of the Georgian Warwickshire market town of Alcester there’s quiet, scenic roads aplenty nearby. Once refuelled why not head east towards Shakespeare’s birthplace at riverside Stratford-upon-Avon, travelling through the villages of Wixford, Barton and Welford-upon-Avon. Alternatively head west towards Worcester through the roads around Feckenham, Hanbury and Oddingley
