Refreshments

There are several catering outlets at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo, but some of them operate seasonal opening hours so check before a visit for up-to-date information

Wildbitecafe 2 ZSL Whipsnade Zoo offers a variety of food in different areas of the park.

As well as using ethically sourced produce, we are also conscious of the miles that produce travels before reaching your plate.

We use as many local suppliers as possible to ensure the food you are eating is of the freshest and highest quality possible.

We try our best to cater for all needs so our chefs are always on hand if you need help with your food choice at the Wild Bite Cafe.
