Delightful cafe at Fulham Palace
This was quite a find!
We certainly didn't expect to find such a delectable tea room when we went gallivanting to Fulham Palace!
To get to it, you need to go in at the front gates to the palace, and then, at the entrance to the palace (an archway that leads into an inner courtyard into the palace), you take a right turn, following the path round to the right... and then when you see green lawns ahead of you, look to your left, and there is the cafe :)
It is nondescript, stylish and upmarket.
It opens up onto the palace lawn, where families come with their children, scooters and trikes... there were loads of buggies here! - and a picnic, and they settle down for the day.
You don't have to eat at the cafe to make use of the lawn and surroundings, you can just come along, bringing your own basket of edibles, which is nice I think. (No entry charge to get into this section of the palace grounds either).
They have a variety of snacks (cold and hot), like cupcakes and croissants, as well as light meals and sandwiches too.
They offer the usual hot beverages like tea, coffee, hot chocolate etc. too, as well as cold beverages.
We had a cold drink as it was a warm day, and I had a slice of chocolate cake.
Hubby had the carrot cake... which was nice, but a little disappointing. The icing was a tad runny and the cake itself, although soft, didn't have that much carrot in it, was too vanilla-like.
If you are in the area, this is definately a lovely place to come and relax.
