The Cafe

With direct access on to Waterlow Park, the cafe at Lauderdale House is a popular spot with dog walkers, park users and local residents.

From 12 April the cafe is open for takeaway and outdoor table service in line with roadmap instructions. The menu features many of our signature recipes - from totally indulgent chocolate brownies to delicious healthy salads - which you can takeaway to picnic in the Park or pre-order and take home for lunch or dinner. The cafe toilets are still available for cafe users. 

You can now order your favourites online through our Click and Collect service – everything from a special indulgent tea selection to ‘heat at home’ tasty suppers that the whole family will love.
