Nestled in the heart of the Manx countryside, surrounded by lush plantations and winding bridle paths, The ManxSPCA Tearooms provide the perfect escape for those seeking delicious home-cooked food, a relaxed atmosphere, and a warm welcome — all while supporting a worthy cause. Located at the headquarters of one of the island’s oldest and most respected animal charities, this charming café is more than just a great place to eat — it’s a hub for community, kindness, and animal welfare.
The Tearooms offer a wide-ranging menu that caters to a variety of tastes and dietary needs, with a strong focus on freshly prepared, locally sourced ingredients. Whether you're popping in for a quick bite or settling down for a leisurely brunch, there’s something for everyone.
Highlights include oven-baked jacket potatoes served with a generous side salad and your choice of fillings — from classic tuna mayo and prawns in Marie-Rose sauce, to a hearty vegetable and lentil chilli or home-cooked ham. For something more traditional, try their much-loved all-day breakfast featuring bacon, sausage, eggs, beans, toast, and a hot drink. Or, for a lighter start to the day, the avocado, chilli and poached egg on toast is a vegetarian favourite.
The lunch menu offers a comforting selection of salads, sandwiches, toasted paninis, soups, and hearty mains like ham, egg and chips or prawn cocktail with salad and bread. There are also daily specials, alongside vegetarian and gluten-free options — and kids are well catered for, too. You’ll find toasted teacakes, scones, doorstep toast, and chips with cheese and gravy among the many home-style options.
After your meal, why not indulge in one of their homemade cakes or desserts, often baked fresh daily by the dedicated team of volunteers and staff? Pair it with a locally roasted coffee, hot chocolate, or a traditional pot of tea for the perfect treat.
The tearoom’s conservatory is dog-friendly, complete with water bowls and biscuits for your four-legged friends. It’s an ideal stop after a walk or cycle, especially with nearby trails offering scenic routes through the countryside.
And perhaps most special of all — every penny spent in the tearoom directly supports the work of the ManxSPCA, helping to care for and rehome hundreds of animals every year. Whether you're an animal lover, a foodie, or simply in need of a peaceful retreat, The ManxSPCA Tearooms is a heartwarming destination worth returning to again and again.
