Hot Drinks

Did you know that you can receive a 25p discount when you bring your own reusable cups for your hot tea or coffee. If you’re looking for something stronger, we have a great selection of craft distilled spirits, local ales from West Berkshire Brewery, an ever-evolving selection of wines and of course, some prosecco for those special occasions.

We have a selection of syrups that make a perfect addition to our hot drinks with our Caramel, Vanilla, Hazelnut, Pumpkin Spice, Cinnamon and Toasted Marshmallow, for only 50p extra. For a little extra, try marshmallow and cream for 75p. For the grown-ups there is the option to have a splash of Baileys, Malibu or Caramel Rum.

In the mood for a sweet treat? Indulge yourself with a delicious baked good from Camilla's Cakes available in our Café Bar.
