Somerset Rural Life Museum has welcomed a new café provider with an established reputation as a family-run business that offers a warm welcome.

The Grain Store Café, located within the museum, is now run by father-and-daughter team John and Charley Higdon. The pair also run My Fine Deli, a café, restaurant, and deli on Glastonbury High Street. Customers can drop into The Grain Store Café for their daily brew and enjoy indoor or outdoor seating in the enclosed farmyard. The cafe is also ideally situated for visitors going to Glastonbury Tor. You don’t have to be visiting the Museum to go to the café and free-on-site parking is available to customers.

Charley said: “We are so excited to be expanding our business and look forward to developing The Grain Store Cafe into a bustling destination for local people and visitors to the town. The outdoor seating area offers fantastic views of the Tor and is a convenient stop off on the way to one of Glastonbury’s most prominent landmarks. We’re also conveniently placed to serve the Redlands estate, meaning that residents don't have to walk all the way to town to get a decent cup of coffee.”

The food on offer at The Grain Store Café showcases Somerset’s great-tasting produce. A variety of breakfast and lunch options are available, all made with fresh, local ingredients. The lunch menu includes light bites, ploughman’s, mezze boards, sandwiches, and homemade soup of the day. These include vegan and gluten-free options. Customers can also enjoy afternoon tea with indulgent cakes and scones, or perhaps a beer, cider, or wine in the sunshine of the enclosed farmyard.

The Grain Store Café is open Tuesday to Sunday 10.00 am to 5.00 pm (Easter to 31 October) and Tuesday to Saturday (1 November to Easter). Find the café on Facebook @GrainStoreCafe
