The Tree top Cafe
Overlooking The Sanctuary grounds, the Tree Top Café serves a section of delicious vegetarian food.
Enjoy your meal in the sunshine on our decking, in the grassy picnic area beside the fragrant herb garden; or dine under the canopy surrounded by rainforest creatures and learn about recycling from our colourful displays.
Our Tree Top Café is an eco-friendly establishment. We endeavour to use local suppliers (thus supporting the Cornish economy and saving energy on transport) and fair-trade products such as our teas, coffees and chocolates. We aim to produce as little waste as possible and to recycle the waste we do produce. To this end we now provide recycling points to Sanctuary visitors and to the surrounding community. All food waste is composted and used in the Sanctuary gardens and orchards, which in turn provide food for the monkeys.
Menu options include:
From the bakery:
Home-made pasty with pickle & side salad
From the grill:
Veggie burgers either topped with onion & tomato/ hot jalapeno peppers & cooling salsa or roasted portobello mushroom
Sausage sandwich with home-made red onion marmalade
Hot dog, topped with caramelised red onion, tomato relish & wholegrain mustard
As well as a selection of sandwiches, dipping platters, home-made soup and for those with a sweet tooth traditional cream teas and a separate ice cream parlour which sells Roskilly’s Cornish organic ice cream and a wheel-chair accessible seating area.
Open during Sanctuary business hours (11.00am-4.30pm, Sat-Thur).
Starting from just £3 a month, you can help to offer a home for life to a monkey in need.
