Raglan Castle Cafe is next to the Castle and has good outdoor spaces - in front of the cafe and at the back where you can sit and have a great view of the valley and hills. Good coffee and a variety of toasties, baguettes, sandwiches as well as hot food and quiches, Nice place to rest before or after your visit to Raglan Cafe.

Average selection you’d expect of somewhere like this, but took quite a while. Seemed to be a decent number of staff but had to wait a good while just for a sandwich and some toasted tea cakes. Very friendly staff though

We stopped here after visiting the castle, the staff were lovely and made us and our 2 dogs feel very welcome. We sat outside looking across the fields with our chicken baguettes, which were delicious and well filled. Lovely food, lovely cafe.

The cafe is a short walk from Raglan Castell and well worth a visit with a fairly standard range of savoury and dessert items on the menu. The staff are very pleasant and welcoming. The interior of the cafe offers a half dozen or so tables but there are three exterior seating areas and all with pleasant views or surroundings. It is an ideal place to visit after investigating the castle.
