The Rig by Silver Oak

The Rig by Silver Oak is one of the food-and-drink stops worth knowing about in Ely: it brings locally roasted Silver Oak coffee into the centre of Ely. Because the roastery itself is based in Littleport, the café creates a useful connection between Ely’s visitor economy and a wider Fenland producer story. As a café, it works naturally into a daytime visit rather than requiring a special evening journey. It can provide the pause between heritage, shopping, walking or countryside stops that makes a longer day in Ely practical, while also supporting the independent businesses that give the Fens their local character. Menus, service times and opening arrangements can change seasonally, so visitors making a special journey should check the venue’s current information before travelling.
