The tearoom is open daily from Saturday 2nd March 2024 10am – 4pm.

The Bolton Castle Tea Room is run by our enthusiastic in house team and is situated in the castle’s impressive Guest Hall. Visitors have been welcomed and enjoyed hospitality in this part of the castle for over six hundred years and we are continuing that tradition. A tempting range, including vegan and gluten free options, of homemade cakes, tray bakes, scones, sandwiches, quiches, pasties and other treats are available, such as our Bolton Pie, along with a selection of teas, coffees and soft drinks. Locally sourced produce is used wherever possible.

You are welcome to visit the tea room without the need to purchase admission tickets to the castle.

The Tea Room is accessed via a flight of stairs into the castle.

Unfortunately we do not allow dogs into the main tea room but we have provided a table and chairs just outside for dogs and their owners. You can also sit in the top area of the gardens with your dog as we do provide a take away service.

Please note that any large groups must be booked in advance and the tea room occasionally closes when weddings are taking place in the castle. Please see our visitor information page for more information.
