DESTINATION CAFE
The Gatehouse Café is a bespoke destination offering a unique and memorable experience. Set within 7.5 acres of picturesque and productive landscape on the southwest-facing slopes of the Cotswold escarpment near Stroud, you’ll find a beautifully balanced and modern timber frame building adjacent to the original stone Gatehouse Lodge. The café is dedicated to ethical, local suppliers of coffee, tea, and chocolate, paired with seasonal baked goods and delicious soup from the land. It is the ideal place to meet, make new friends, or just be..
The Gatehouse project is the vision of Ed Lister, co-founder of Planit I.E Ltd Landscape Architects, Urban Designers & Visual Story Tellers who love coffee…
