Welcome to
The Rookery Café
ON STREATHAM COMMON
The Rookery Café is your dog-friendly café on Streatham Common serving specialty coffee, all-day breakfast, and brunch with wonderful views looking west across one of London’s most vibrant communities.
We have indoor seating (pre-book or walk-ins) and plenty of large parasol-covered outdoor seating—perfect for families, dog walkers, and anyone wanting to enjoy the common. Venue hire available for celebrations and private events. Come fly a kite or pair your visit with a drink from the nearby Inkspot Brewery.
Follow us @therookerycafe for updates.
We can’t wait to see you.
Food & Drink
There’s something for every taste, even your four legged friend!
We’re open seven days a week for al fresco and indoor dining, or to grab something to go.
We’re fully licensed, so you can enjoy a carefully selected wine, craft beer or locally distilled Hayman’s Gin alongside your meal. For our youngest guests we serve Cumberland sausages, chicken goujons, chunky fish fingers with French fries, simple toasties or pasta with homemade sauces, plus plenty of treats.
Afternoon Tea on the Common
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
