In a city renowned for its dynamic food culture, The Orangery TCR on Tottenham Court Road is leading the way in sustainable dining. As the West End’s first restaurant to integrate a hydroponic and vertical farm, The Orangery is redefining how sustainability and exceptional dining come together.

A Fresh Take on Sustainable Dining

Sustainability isn’t just a philosophy for us – it’s woven into everything we do. At The Orangery we combine innovation, sustainability, and exceptional food where urban farming meets culinary artistry. Guests dine surrounded by greenery, savouring healthy, sustainable dishes crafted from on-site harvests.

Sustainable Dining

Our Approach

Our on-site vertical farm is the heart of our kitchen. Here, we cultivate pesticide-free greens, herbs that form the foundation of our menu. This approach allows us to reduce food miles, minimise waste, and support a more sustainable way of eating. Beyond our farm, we source ingredients with sustainability in mind, collaborating closely with local farms, fishermen, and growers to ensure ethical and responsible sourcing practices, creating a holistic, environmentally conscious approach to every dish we serve.

What’s on the Menu

Our farm-to-table concept brings hyper-fresh ingredients straight to your plate. Guests at The Orangery can expect to explore seasonal dishes that highlight the best of our harvest. Fresh, nutrient-rich salads featuring farm-grown greens and herbs, while our main courses make the most of locally sourced produce. From roasted vegetables and comforting pasta dishes to carefully prepared fish, meats and plant-based options, every dish reflects our commitment to bold, natural flavours and responsible sourcing.
