Roots & Berries at The Garden Café
The Garden Café run by Roots & Berries occupies the ambient Great Cloister of Strawberry Hill House and enjoys glorious views across Horace Walpole’s 18th century naturalistic garden.
The café offers daily baked morning goods, delicious light lunches freshly prepared in the kitchen and tempting cakes and cookies for afternoon tea from their own bakery in South West London. The Roots & Berries team of chefs use seasonal and local ingredients and cater for all dietary needs.
Enjoy barista coffee from Curious Roo Coffee Roasters in Chiswick or a warming cup of tea from the Bellevue Tea Company. You can also enjoy something stronger with a range of excellent wines (including organic), craft beers, or a Hayman’s Gin and Fever-Tree tonic.
Open all year round, our café welcomes every visitor with a warm greeting and a smile. We are proudly family-friendly, featuring a safe outdoor garden that gives little ones plenty of space to run around and burn off excess energy.
Come and enjoy all that we offer in the unique setting of Walpole’s Gothic castle!

Afternoon Tea at Strawberry Hill House
FROM £29pp
Thoughtfully prepared by our chefs and bakers, our seasonal Afternoon Tea brings together warm scones, delicate savouries and beautifully crafted little cakes—all served on a classic tiered stand, with a selection of loose leaf teas from around the world.
*Includes a £2 donation to the wonderful Friends of Wandsworth Common who help ensure this beautiful green space is so well cared for all to enjoy.
Kids Afternoon Tea now available!
Our little ones haven’t been left out! Our Kids Afternoon Tea comes in two options: Tots (recommended up to 7yrs) at £9 per child, or Junior (recommended 7-12yrs) at £15 per child. Both are filled with kid-sized favourites, from crustless sandwiches and artisan buns (Junior menu) to our very cute hand-iced hedgehog and duck biscuits.
There is a colouring-in sheet to keep little hands busy, plus a complimentary bag of duck food for a post-tea walk in the park* — it’s much better for our feathered friends than bread! And the proceeds from every bag help support the wonderful local groups who care for the green spaces around our cafés.
Just like our Adult Afternoon Tea, you can pick from Classic or Garden (vegetarian) menus for each child.
To order simply select the relevant Kids Afternoon Tea in the drop-down when purchasing an Adult Afternoon Tea. Alternatively, contact Carlotta directly for bookings of more than 6 kids or if you want to only book kids teas alone. Email enquiries@rootsandberries.co.uk
*Excludes The Rookery Café on Streatham Common
