Crown's Café

Crown’s Café sits just outside the wire, near the main gate to MOD Lyneham. We welcome staff working on the base, visitors to the Museum and anyone else looking for a quick coffee or leisurely lunch.

In a relaxed atmosphere, you can enjoy breakfast rolls, homemade cakes, fresh barista coffees and a hot food menu that includes freshly made sandwiches, jacket potatoes and paninis as well as daily lunch specials. For our youngest visitors we have special lunch packs and tasty hot options.
