At Hocus Pocus Play, Fairford

Magic Beans Cafe

Savour the Moment Together

Doorstep sandwiches, premium coffee, fairy-tale sundaes and a warm welcome — right beside the lake. Open Wed–Sun, 9:30–3:30.

More Than Just a Café

Nestled beside the beautiful Fairford Waterski Club lake in Gloucestershire, Magic Beans Cafe sits at the heart of Hocus Pocus Play — a place where families come to slow down, share a meal, and make memories.

We serve freshly made doorstep sandwiches, gorgeous premium coffees, scrumptious brunch dishes and eight fairy-tale themed ice cream sundaes — all crafted with love using high-quality local ingredients.

Our cakes are baked fresh by local bakers, our ice cream comes from Dolcetti Ice Cream Company, and every visit feels like a little adventure.
