A new era of dining arrives in the heart of the city as The Orangery Tottenham Court Road officially opens its doors. This central London dining destination is built around hyper-local produce, a modern British menu and farm-to-table practices, offering an innovative dining experience.
The Orangery TCR boasts the largest on-site hydroponic farm in London, growing fresh, pesticide-free ingredients directly beneath the restaurant in partnership with Square Mile Farms. This produce forms the foundation of an ever-evolving menu and ensures true farm-to-table dining.
By blending advanced hydroponic technology with vertical farming techniques, The Orangery Farm achieves a yield equivalent to 1.1 acres of traditional farmland, demonstrating a more sustainable and space-efficient approach to urban agriculture. This approach not only addresses the challenges of food production in growing cities but also demonstrates a scalable model for the future of global farming.

Positioned in the heart of London, The Orangery TCR is just moments from the world-renowned theatres of the West End, the British Museum, and the shopping streets of Oxford Street and Covent Garden. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast, dinner, or a pre- or post-theatre meal, The Orangery TCR's offers a Modern British menu that reflects the best locally sourced ingredients.
With a focus on quality, the restaurant sources the finest British produce, from premium meats and fresh seafood to artisanal cheeses and heritage grains. The result is a menu that blends modern techniques with the depth and character of British food.
The walls of the restaurant display thriving crops, while the Chef's Table, located within the hydroponic farm on the lower ground floor, offers a one-of-a-kind private dining experience where guests can enjoy a bespoke tasting menu surrounded by the very produce featured on their plate.
Community commitments
Beyond delivering an unparalleled dining experience, The Orangery TCR is deeply committed to community-led initiatives. As part of its social responsibility mission, the restaurant actively runs educational farm tours for local KS1 schools, colleges and universities, inspiring the next generation about the importance of environmentally conscious food practices.
The Orangery Farm also offers local educational events such as gardening clubs, community harvests, and seminars on urban farming. These activities not only make a positive impact on local communities but also align with The Orangery's broader mission to enhance the health of people, society, and planet.
While 70% of the farm's fresh produce supplies the restaurant, the remainder is donated monthly to these schools, communities and charities across Camden.
