The Abbey is continuing the ancient Benedictine tradition of providing hospitality to visitors. The Cellarium, part of the 14th century fabric of Westminster Abbey, was where the monks kept their stores of food and drink. Now the Cellarium café refreshes this tradition of hospitality.
The Cellarium serves delicious salads and traditional British lunches including Fish and Chips every Friday.
The cafe is split over two floors with a terrace on the upper floor with views over the towers of the Abbey.

Excellent meal. And, whilst seating was fine, my preference would have been downstairs not up.

Service was poor. Later arrivals received their drinks before us and the food, when it came, was not as ordered. This was corrected, with apologies, fairly swiftly but it was disappointing, especially as the erroneous dish was obviously not a main course.

The staff here was so accommodating. I planned to have afternoon tea by myself but ran into my son and his girlfriend and they asked to join me. The hostess graciously provided us a larger table, and we had a lovely, unhurried experience. For London, the prices were excellent. I would love to return to this charming spot.

Very enjoyable lunch in the upstairs part of Cellarium (worth booking an upstairs table). I had the wild mucshroom and tarragon fregola which was delicious. Ambiance is relaxed, the room light and airy with unusual roof scape of Westminster Abbey. Service was hit and miss. Despite me booking, there was no acknowledgement of this, order taking slow and general lack of attentiveness. This wouldn't stop me going again, but it's a shame for a hidden gem in Westminster.

Two waiting staff only on the top floor, which dropped to one. This is no reflection on the staff as they were rushed off their feet but service was slow . Both waiters were very hard working, pleasant and fast moving but were continually apologising for the slow service- clearly under staffed and overwhelmed by the lunchtime rush It took 30 minutes to pay! On the plus side, great location, good food and very pleasant team. Nice atmosphere.
