A few wartime posters (and the occasional anzac biscuit) are the only reminders of conflict at this tranquil café, where hot daily specials (white bean and vegetable broth with parmesan, for example) sit alongside soups, salads and sandwiches. Food-lovers will relish the forthcoming Ministry Of Food exhibition, focusing on the impact of World War II on British culinary traditions.

I'm very surprised by the two-star rating. Having been to many galleries and museums, and working in a gallery myself, I felt this was the best museum cafe I've come across in a long time - much better than the several Peyton and Byrne and Benugo museum cafes and restaurants I've visited. The cakes are very enticing and the soups, stews and sandwiches all beautifully made. The cafe itself is very light and airy, and kept very clean. However, most of the credit must go to the staff - I visited on several occasions and each time every member of staff was friendly, helpful and very efficient. Oh, and they do damn good jam tarts.
