The Garden Café, managed by our talented chef Sorrel Ferguson, is the perfect retreat from the buzz of the outside world. You might find us outside in our very own kitchen garden picking fresh herbs for our salads or pulling some rainbow chard from the earth...

Relax in the knot garden whilst indulging in a delicious seasonal lunch or a slice of divine cake baked in our galley kitchen that morning.

Our vegetarian (and often vegan) lunch menu is served from 12-3pm Monday to Sunday and changes every day according to what is in season or is ready from our veg patch. Barista style coffee and garden inspired cakes are served from 10.30am-5pm (4pm on Saturday and Sunday) by our friendly team.

There cannot be a prettier outside table in Central London
