Went a quiet time of day. Guides were helpful, tours were available. Not of activities going on today but the primary school kids were being taught by period actors.
Lots to see. We come here quite often because the coffee is very good 👍 Today there wasn't a great deal of choice of cakes but the raspberry sponge was fresh and good.
Although it is a bit on the pricey side, the members of staff are extremely kind, friendly and polite. They make an effort to keep the place neat and they engage in great conversations with the customers. They are genuinely nice people.
The cafe within Fort Nelson's visitor centre called cafe 1871, is a good place to grab some refreshments before or after you’ve explored the fortress and Royal Armouries museum. As well as tea and coffee, it serves light meals including soups, baked potatoes and toasted sandwiches as well as delicious cakes and muffins. It's a fairly modern cafe with free WiFi and seating both indoors and outside with great views.
The staff and management have improved the visitor experience here a lot since re-opening. The silhouette experience was thoughtful and moving, the wind gently blowing the silhouettes on the skyline was an effect that has to be experienced. Its a shame the cafe has greatly reduced its hot food menu, but the only choice baked potatoes are well presented and service is good. A good day out for all age ranges.
