Moor Cafe
Join us daily from 9.30am – 4.00pm
for a café experience steeped in history and local charm.
Where history meets hearty Cornish flavours in the unique setting of Bodmin Jail. Nestled on the edge of Bodmin Moor, our café offers a warm welcome to everyone, whether you’re visiting the jail, out for a walk with your dog, passing through Bodmin, or simply in search of a delicious local bite. You don’t need a museum ticket to enjoy the café – just bring your appetite (pup optional)!.
Step inside our Café this winter and claim the cosiest seat in one of Cornwall’s most atmospheric locations.
Tucked within the towering Gothic walls of Bodmin Jail, our fireside nook is the place to escape the winter rush. Settle down with your favorite drink, listen to the crackle of the fire, and let the weight of history wrap around you as you look out across the historic courtyard.
But be warned, once you’ve experienced a quiet moment here, you’ll never want to read anywhere else.
In need of a new story to lose yourself in? Wander through The Other Side curiosity shop and explore our handpicked book collection, then bring your chosen read straight over to the café to begin your next chapter.
