We arrived on a rainy day and were unable to do the tour so we toured the gift shop instead. It had a wonderful variety of items. Prices were decent, staff was kind.

Processed ham, cheese and only white sliced bread

We were a little concerned as their Food Hygiene star rating was nowhere to be seen. Very welcoming staff member and the food was prepared to order. A choice of bread would have been nice. However the toastie was quite nice with fresh salad garnish.
