The Mouse Hole - Vale of White Horse

Tucked down below the museum is this tiny little coffee/tea shop. Hot drinks are just £1 and despite the lack of space, you are encouraged to stay a while with books for adults and children.. crossword books... a dressing up rail (just for children

Visited the Mouse Hole after visit to museum during stop off in Abingdon for coffee and cake. Genuine warm welcome by friendly staff. Reasonable prices and good cake !!! Would recommend

The staff are always friendly, the food is simple but always delicious, the setting is quite amazing and the prices are very reasonable. This is my favourite cafe in town, without-a-doubt.

It is fun to go down under the museum to have lovely fresh food and drink. The sandwiches are excellent as are the small salads and lovely cakes. Down in a side room is the old pump machinery that kept the mouse hole dry many many years ago. A fun place to visit.

We visited this little cafe for lunch with my 5 year old son after being recommended it by a friend. We were not disappointed. From the warm welcome of the staff, to the delicious food, nothing was a problem. There is even a little area off the seating plan, where little ones can learn about the history of Abingdon water pumps and watch an old pump work whilst waiting for their food. The cafe is situated in the basement of the Abingdon Museum, so after (or before), you can pop into the museum for a nostalgic look back into the history of the town.
