About
The Flying Monk is a café, kitchen and bar at 1 Bradfield Manor Farm, Hullavington, about 5.5 miles (9km) by road south of Malmesbury. It opened on Wednesday 26 August 2026, in a restored Cotswold stone barn that CAMRA lists as the Flying Monk Brewery's former café and tap, with a change of management in August 2026.
It opens from 10am to 4pm, Wednesday to Sunday, and serves breakfast, brunch and lunch dishes. It takes no reservations: you simply turn up. Groups of eight or more are asked to email first so the team can plan. It is a daytime place, with no evening service, so it suits a late breakfast, a coffee or lunch rather than dinner.
