Shakespaw Cat Cafe, located in the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon, offers a unique and relaxing environment where visitors can enjoy a variety of meals and beverages while interacting with resident rescue cats. The cafe serves breakfast, lunch, and afternoon tea, featuring a menu that includes sandwiches, hot food, afternoon tea, cakes, scones, leaf teas, and barista coffee, all freshly prepared to order.
The decor is vintage-inspired, creating a homely atmosphere that complements the presence of the cats. The cafe accommodates up to six people per group and maintains a strict policy of no children under the age of 10 to ensure a comfortable experience for all guests. Visitors are encouraged to respect the cats by refraining from picking them up, holding them, or surrounding them. Additionally, the cafe does not permit sparklers, birthday candles, balloons, or table confetti to prioritize the safety and well-being of the cats.
For those interested in supporting the cafe, gift vouchers are available, valid for up to a year, which can be used for entry or to enjoy a classic afternoon tea. The cafe also collaborates with Peppers Pet Rescue to provide shelter and foster homes for rescue cats, assisting in finding them permanent homes.
To ensure a visit, reservations must be made through the cafe’s online booking system, as they do not accept bookings over the phone or by email. The cafe is open from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM on weekdays and from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM on weekends, with closures on Tuesdays during quieter times.
