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 5 January the cafe will be operating as a takeaway only in line with lockdown restrictions. The menu still 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. Just click here for the full menu.
