Roots Cafe at Rougham Estate

Roots, nestled in the heart of the Blackthorpe Barn complex on Rougham Estate.

With a storied history spanning decades, this location is a convenient out-of-town chill-out spot to meet up, a cosy gathering place for the community, now open throughout the year. For breakfast, lunch, coffee and cake, we hope Roots will become your go-to destination. Everyone is welcome: walkers, cyclists, families and dogs.

First Come, First Served

We operate on a first come, first served basis.
Reservations are taken for groups of 6 or more on weekdays only.

Children

Come and visit as a family; there is a section on the menu specifically for children. Highchairs are available as well as a baby-changing unit.

Take-Away Available

Teas, coffees and cakes are available to take with you – perfect when taking the dog for a walk. Order at the front counter.

Well-behaved Dogs Welcome

Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the café with a paws-on-the-floor policy; they will be welcomed with their own bowl of water.

Please keep your dog under control and ensure that your dog does not disturb other people’s enjoyment of the premises or block passageways.

Vegans and vegetarians are catered for and, whilst we do our utmost to accommodate dietary and allergy requirements, gluten, nuts and animal products are used in the kitchen.

We stock gluten-free bread and serve some gluten-free dishes. Dishes that have gluten-free options or vegan options are shown on the menu. Please ask if you have any queries when ordering.
