Rotherhithe’s Brunel Museum has announced that it’s turning a riverside terrace next to the museum into an outdoor cafe.
Regular attendees to Dulwich market will recognise the Coffee Box van, which offers coffees and juices. On Sundays, Coffee Box will be joined by Dhaclhini, a bespoke cake and brownie maker.
The open-air cafe will be open Sun-Fri, closed on Saturday.
The Museum is now looking to local food as a way of generating income following a difficult year. Katherine McAlpine, Director said: “We know how difficult the past year has been across the tourism, leisure and hospitality sectors. This is a way of us working with local providers to be able to help them sustain their business at this difficult time”
The Museum is just behind Rotherhithe railway station.

Why closing on Saturdays? That’s when they would have more clients, I would think?
Totally agree, seems bonkers to have a market here on a Monday but yet not on a Saturday?
The suppliers are probably at another location on that day.
The coffee box is based ah East Dulwich Farmers Market on Saturdays. That’s why. Could always pop down there for a nice day out x
Not to worry, there is great coffee nearby at St.Mary’s Church and Surrey Docks Farm.
Could it be something to do with Saturday being the Jewish Sabbath? Brunel was Jewish.
