Seasonal British Dining Near the West End
A short walk from Phoenix Theatre, The Orangery TCR brings seasonal Modern British dining to the heart of London’s West End.
Beneath the restaurant is London’s largest indoor hydroponic farm, where herbs and greens are grown on site throughout the year and harvested fresh each day for our menus.
Each menu reflects the season’s harvest and pairs it with carefully selected British ingredients, offering a fresh approach to urban dining rooted in health, flavour and sustainability. From leisurely lunches to pre-theatre dinners, every meal is shaped by the seasons and the finest produce available.
For a truly memorable meal, the Chef’s Table places guests within the farm itself, surrounded by the ingredients that inspire each menu. It is an immersive dining experience in central London, shaped by its unique setting.
