The Orangery Café

From delicious scones and bakes to seasonal soups and coffees, there's a tasty treat for everyone at the café. Food is prepared fresh daily, using produce harvested from the Kitchen Garden. Whether you’re looking for a refreshing ice cream, a quick snack or longer lunch, our selection is available to eat in or take away.

When you order a hot drink and bring your reusable cup, we'll give you 25p off as a thank you for helping the environment.

From plot to plate

The historic Kitchen Garden is currently one of the most productive walled kitchen gardens in London. It provides the café with produce all year round, from pumpkins to peppers, and raspberries to redcurrants.

Please ask the team for more details or some recipe inspiration. All coffee grounds and takeaway cups from the café are composted and used in the garden.

Allergen information

Most of the food and drink served is prepared on site in our kitchen, using a wide range of ingredients. As a result, we can’t guarantee that any of our food and drink products are completely allergen free.

If you have an allergy or intolerance and would like ingredient information about the food and drink served, please ask the staff, who will be happy to help.

Always check when you visit

Visited before? We sometimes change our recipes to improve quality and flavour, including the ingredients. When you visit, please speak to one of our team to check the current allergen information for your favourite dish.

Thank you

Every cuppa or tasty treat you buy helps us to continue looking after places for everyone to enjoy.
