Park Life Café at Towneley Park
Historically, The Old Stables were utilised as one of the two horse stables that served the Towneley family - historians believe that the building was erected sometime in the 16th century. Converted into a café in the early 1900s, the Old Stables underwent a huge renovation and reopened in 2023, featuring character, charm and an inviting space and atmosphere for the residents of Towneley and the surrounding areas to enjoy.
Fuel your adventures with our freshly made food, from a thoughtfully constructed menu that offers something for everyone. Feast on a Full English Breakfast or savour a sausage sandwich in the morning. Heading into the afternoon, choose from a wide range of cooked-to-order delights where you can experience our Signature Brioche Burgers, Ultimate Toasties, Loaded Baked Potatoes and more! Why not indulge in our range of homemade cakes and bakes too?
Just popping in for a post-walk brew, then we’ve got you. Warm up with a Barista-crafted coffee made using our unique ‘Life Café Blend’, roasted in partnership with Clifton Coffee Roasters, who pride themselves on their environmental and sustainable and ethical approach to sourcing their beans from around the world. Or if you need a thirst-quencher after a day of adventure, you can cool down with an Ice Cream Milkshake or Infused Lemonade.
