The Orangery

About The Orangery

The Orangery sits inside Kew Gardens near Kew Palace, a light-filled glasshouse where families refuel between the treetop walkway and the pagoda. The self-service layout runs cafeteria-style with a few hot mains daily — roasted half chicken, Korean-style cauliflower, haddock in tomato sauce, plus a salad bar and a tempting cake counter. "The hot foods have 3-4 main options," one regular notes, and the portobello mushroom side earns repeat mentions. Kids find space on the terrace where birds swoop for crumbs. Highchairs are available, buggies navigate easily, and Kew members get 20% off. Peak lunch queues snake through multiple counters, coffee at one, hot food at another, then checkout, so arriving before noon or after 2 p.m. avoids the crush. Best for a sit-down break mid-garden ramble when everyone needs proper plates.
