Grub Kitchen operates on a first-come-first-served cafe basis and does not take bookings. If you would like to eat at Grub Kitchen only, you can turn up as a walk-in, but please be aware that preference is given to Bug Farm customers. Numbers onsite are restricted, so we cannot guarantee that we will be able to let you onsite at busy times if the site is full. If you want to guarantee a visit to Grub Kitchen, then please book a slot to visit The Bug Farm.

Food is served in Grub Kitchen 12pm – 2:30pm and 12pm – 3:30pm during Welsh school holidays. Drinks and cakes are available all day.
