Blockley Cafe

Situated in the heart of the picturesque and peaceful village of Blockley in the Cotswolds, we provide a retreat for the local community, foodies and those exploring the stunning area of outstanding natural beauty which surrounds us.

Just a short drive from popular tourist hot-spots, villages and towns including Chipping Campden, Moreton-in-Marsh, Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water and Broadway Tower, we provide an all-year-round peaceful haven, away from the hustle and bustle, for foodies and families alike. We are disabled friendly.

There is free Wi-Fi throughout and we allow well-behaved dogs in downstairs.

Our menus, inspired by the seasons and the ‘local produce on our doorstep’ feature something for everyone. We are proud to work with some of the finest supplier’s and artisans, cooking as much as we can from scratch in our kitchen, making us far more than just a café, whatever time of the day.

Whether it’s a coffee, breakfast, brunch, lunch, doughnut, pastry, dinner evening or a glass of wine, to dine in or take away, we can cater for all tastes. We are also open for all day dining Wednesday to Saturday so you can enjoy our varied menus at any time of the day, relax with a Gin and Tonic or feast on our artisan boards. As well as gourmet dinner evenings, we hold workshops combined with a meal.

Our Cotswold stone home adjoined with Blockley Village Shop, was built six years ago, funded by the local community and Lottery Fund. The Shop and Café now continue to flourish under separate private owners who lease the building from a committee which represents the community.

Craig Stanley became the proprietor of Blockley Café in 2017, with his passion for providing a great place for all to enjoy delicious, seasonal and local food, stemming from his upbringing in the village combined with the knowledge and experience gained from working in some of the Cotswolds finest country hotels. This also means Blockley Café is a chef-lead business, one of the key attributes that we believe set it apart from many others with attention to detail and a meal that’s not only delicious but achieved with as much skill as the artisans who supply our ingredients.

2021 sees Craig acquire an additional property in Moreton-in-Marsh with new business partners Simon and Julia Wright. He is inspired by all that’s been achieved here so far and by his desire to expand. This new venture will be separate from Blockley Café but the businesses will work to complement each other and reflect Craig’s ethos of local and seasonal produce throughout. As a Blockley born and bred lad, Blockley Café will always have a special place in all that he does.
​
Craig and his team can also cater for a whole host of occasions from parties, baby showers, hen parties, birthday meals, weddings and many more, creating tailored catering solutions to your desired taste and budget to offer unforgettable experiences. This can be at the Café, a local venue or your home.

We hope we can welcome you soon.
