Seasonal British Dining Near the West End
A few minutes from The Palace Theatre, The Orangery TCR offers a calm, relaxed dining experience in the centre of London’s West End.
At The Orangery, menus evolve with the seasons, shaped by what’s ready to harvest each day from our underground hydroponic farm.
Just metres from the kitchen, herbs and greens are picked at their peak and paired with carefully selected British ingredients, which shapes every dish. The result is a food experience that invites guests to explore depths of flavour.
For something more intimate, the Chef’s Table offers guests the chance to dine inside the farm itself, surrounded by the growing produce that informs each plate. It’s an immersive experience unlike anything else in the West End.

Introducing The Orangery Farm
The Orangery Farm is the West End’s first indoor hydroponic farm. Built in partnership with Square Mile Farms, it uses vertical growing methods to cultivate plants in nutrient-rich water under LED lights.
Fresh ingredients travel straight from the farm to our kitchen throughout the year, and guests can see the produce growing on site, experiencing the connection between farm and fork. It is this relationship that defines dining at The Orangery and makes every menu its own.
