Café & Restaurant

The Black Faced Sheep Café & Restaurant is known for it’s warm welcome and delicious food. We are proud to say there is not an panini in sight! 

Instead, you will be treated to homemade focaccia served with our famous bruschetta’s, delicious soups, fresh salads and our well-known cakes to round it all off.  Our food is freshly made to order and all baking is done on site, something we are very proud of. 

PS – Don’t forget to ask the story about the yellow bucket when you visit!
