After an extensive seven-year renovation, The Orangery restaurant at Kensington Palace reopened on May 1, 2024. This much-anticipated reopening will offer a refined blend of royal tradition and contemporary cuisine, set against the backdrop of the palace’s historic and elegant gardens.
The Orangery, originally built in 1704 as a greenhouse for Queen Anne, has undergone a significant transformation. Throughout its history, it served various purposes, including acting as a supper house during the summer months. The latest renovations have been described as a “spatial reimagination. They preserve the architectural integrity while updating the interior to reflect its heritage and modern dining needs. The design work, led by StudioKKD, incorporates exquisite finishes like Verdure tapestry wallpaper and velvet fabric designs, enhancing the grandeur of the setting.

The menu at The Orangery is now creatively reimagined to blend historical culinary traditions with innovative modern dishes. It will feature locally sourced British ingredients, emphasizing sustainability and the support of local growers and producers. Lunch offerings include dishes like Wye Valley asparagus with pink grapefruit and pomegranate, and London smoked salmon paired with capers and pickled shallot rings. The Orangery will also offer a Royal Afternoon Tea, which promises an array of luxurious treats like Castle Farm Lavender Éclair and traditional scones with Cornish clotted cream and blackcurrant preserve.
This reopening marks a new chapter for The Orangery and reestablishes it as one of London’s most prestigious dining spots. Guests can enjoy a unique blend of culinary excellence and historical ambiance right in the heart of Kensington Palace.
