The Bar Convent Café...

The Bar Convent Café is well known locally for its relaxing atmosphere, beautiful surroundings and peaceful, secluded garden.

We are open Monday to Saturday for Breakfast, Morning Coffee, Lunch or Afternoon Tea.

We offer a fresh daily selection of tempting Homemade Soup, Cakes and Desserts. Sandwiches made to order and our 'Specials' Board changes regularly with tempting new dishes and mouth-watering Puddings from our in-house chef, Val Russell. Please click here to see our current Café Menu.

We endeavour to cater for a variety of diets including Vegetarian and Gluten Free and we are able to cater for special requests in many instances because we cater on site. There are always gluten free sandwiches and cakes available and all menu items are clearly marked 'GF' for your convenience. We only use Free Range eggs in our baking and menu items.

Speciality Coffees are now also available and as an ethically aware organisation we offer only Fair Trade hot beverages. Please click here to see our selection of Hot Beverages. We also source our Fruit and Vegetables and our Fresh Meat and Fish from local Yorkshire suppliers in an effort to reduce our carbon foot print and support the local economy.

The Bar Convent Café is the perfect place to meet family, friends or colleagues and on a fine afternoon what could be nicer than to sit in our peaceful garden enjoying afternoon tea just a short walk away from the bustle of the historic sites of York.

We can take party bookings up to 10 people in the cafe. You can book now by calling on 01904 464910 or you can book larger parties and Evening Events through our Meetings and Events Administrator, by using our on-line Event Enquiry Form or by calling on 01904 464907.
