Pip's Palace · Rabbit Cafe & Farm, Great Haywood

The visit

A calm hour with the rabbits, and something good to eat.

You get a table and a time, the kitchen looks after the rest, and the rabbits do exactly as they please. Gentle, unhurried, and lovely with children.

Book

Reserve your hour

Pick a room, a date and a slot online. A small deposit holds the table and keeps each room quiet enough for the rabbits.

Sip

Order from the cafe

Barista coffee, loose-leaf tea and homemade bakes; plus a few carrot-and-rabbit specials we could not resist.

Mingle

Meet the residents

Sit on the floor, offer a nibble, and let the braver ones come to you. Our team is on hand the whole time.

The rooms

Different rooms, different breeds.

Each area has its own character and its own rabbits, so every visit feels a little different.

The Lop Lounge

Floppy-eared and unbothered

Holland and French Lops dozing on cushions. The gentlest room; a favourite with little ones.

The Meadow

Bright and busy

Nethies and Mini Rex zipping about the run. More energy, more binkies, more giggles.

The Palace Court

Pip's own room

Home of the king himself and his growing family of kits. Our quietest, most watch-and-wonder space.

Who it's for

Not just for the little ones.

Booking keeps every room calm, and the rabbits always say hello on their own terms. That makes Pip's Palace work for more people than you might think.

Families

A proper day out

Gentle, screen-free and hands-on, with the team beside you the whole time. A lovely first meeting with animals for small children.

Grown-ups

A calmer hour

Plenty of people come without children, simply to slow down, cradle a rabbit and drink good coffee somewhere quiet. Ask about our calmer weekday slots.

Rabbit lovers

All the soft, none of the hutch

Renting, allergic at home, or just no room for a rabbit? Come as often as you like. Our regulars get to know Pip by name.

Gifts & parties

Something to remember

Birthdays in the Lop Lounge, gift vouchers for the animal lover who has everything, and small private hire for a treat.

Proper cafe food, with a carrot habit.

Everything you would want from a good cafe, plus a handful of specials that lean happily into the theme.

Who is Pip

Every palace needs a king.

Pip is Elliot's grey rabbit with striking blue eyes and one that always sits a little low; a birth quirk that became his signature. He is calm, curious, and quietly in charge. The kits you will meet are his.

Stickers, tees, bunny-ear headbands and hand-thrown dining sets, all carrying Pip's crest.

Kind words

Loved by little ones and grown-ups alike.

★★★★★

Our two came out beaming and calmer than I have seen them in weeks. The carrot cake did not last long either.

Booked for my daughter's birthday. The Lop Lounge was pure magic, and the team were so gentle with the little ones.

I came for the rabbits and stayed for the coffee. Pip is an absolute character; we have already booked to go back.

★★★★★

An hour here does more for my head than anything on my phone. I came on my own to unwind and left completely lighter.

★★★★★

The bunny-ear shortbread is dangerous. The whole family is obsessed and the merch is gorgeous.

★★★★★

We rent and can't have pets, so this has become our monthly fix. The rabbits actually recognise us now.
