The Makers Kitchen

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

We’d highly recommend trying their toasted feta & beetroot bagel alongside a slice of their sweet Bakewell tart or double chocolate Oreo brownies

The menu changes by the day and refreshingly different from your usual cafe staples. bagels, terrines, ‘on sourdough’, alongside homemade cakes and locally sourced coffee

Americano (£2.80), cappuccino (£3.15), tea (£2.65), pepper & onion on sourdough (£7.50), feta & beetroot bagel (£7.50), ricotta & pecorino terrine on sourdough (£7.50), vegetable soup (£5.50), Bakewell tart (£2.75), flapjack (£2.75), cakes (£3.50)

Bikes can be left on 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 their 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
