What a beautiful place to visit....❤️👀😁.... The history of the museum is amazing because it was one of the childhood homes to our very much loved The Queen Mother.... and secondly the Bowes Museum collection was so that the people of the UK 🇬🇧 and Worldwide.... could see such beautiful objects that were around at that time especially with French influences.... There are so many artefacts that you would need hours to view them all... To go your own pace and just looking at the many displays takes a good couple of hours.... Remember to visit the well stocked café of foods to fill many an empty tummy... 😋... And don't forget to treat yourself to a small gift....nice selection of things to suit all... 👍🙂

First time here for lunch. I took two elderly friends and it was perfect. The food was excellent and the surroundings were lovely. Overall, the staff were very good, answering queries and helping me with disabled access. What made the experience though was Julie. She went out of her way to make sure we got the best out of the menu and made all three of us feel special. Job well done, Julie - thank you!

Lovely cafe within the Bowes Museum (you can visit the cafe without paying entry for the museum). Visited here twice during a short stay in the area, once for lunch and once for coffee. Good food, good service, nice surroundings, easy parking. Recommended.

What a lovely cafe! Friendly staff and delicious food. We visited today for lunch for my husband's 40th, with our 5 year old son. We sat in a window table with a gorgeous view. I had a sandwich and soup, my husband had the Katsu curry and son had mash and beans, then for dessert I had the best ginger cake I've ever eaten. Portion sizes are generous and the staff is extremely welcoming and accommodating. Looking forward to returning soon.
