The Cellarium Cafe and Terrace at Westminster Abbey is set within the Abbey itself, offering dining and afternoon tea across two distinct spaces. On the lower ground floor, the medieval Cellarium provides a vaulted stone setting with original architectural features that create a calm, atmospheric backdrop. Upstairs, there is an indoor dining area which boasts a glass ceiling with views of the Abbey, and a small outdoor terrace is a lovely sunny spot during the warmer months.
Open daily for breakfast, brunch, lunch, Sunday roast and afternoon tea, the cafe caters to both visitors and locals alike. Breakfast options include classics like full English, vegetarian breakfast, homemade pancakes, bacon sandwiches and eggs Royale, alongside more experimental offerings like spinach labneh and wild mushrooms on toast
The main menu features starters such as soup of the day and roasted pepper bruschetta, followed by dishes including pan-fried sea bream, grilled sirloin steak, winter salad and a hearty chicken sandwich. Sides range from skin-on fries to marinated grilled broccoli, while desserts include pear and sage cream pavlova, white chocolate pistachio cheesecake and apple and berry crumble. Sunday lunch centres on a traditional roast served with seasonal vegetables, Yorkshire puddings and gravy. A curated selection of sparkling, white, rose and red wines complements the menu, alongside soft drinks and hot beverages.
Afternoon tea is served in the historic Cellarium and includes homemade scones with clotted cream and jam alongside sweet pastries. An extended version adds savoury items such as truffle and egg sandwiches and hot smoked trout and hollandaise vol au vents, with tea, coffee or sparkling wine available.
