The Pavilion Café
You'll find the recently refurbished Pavilion Café at the top of the hill by the Royal Observatory.
Built in 1906, this octagonal building is topped by a dovecote with a weather vane depicting Nelson peering through his telescope. In fine weather, make the most of the large gardens at the front and rear. In winter, The Pavilion Café offers a cosy and welcoming atmosphere.
Food & Drink
The kitchen serves breakfast and a variety of hot dishes including pizzas, burgers and salads. For those on the go, a selection of fresh salads, sandwiches, and cakes are available to take away and enjoy in the park. Our seasonal pop-up in the garden is an ideal spot to relax with a drink among friends - you can treat yourself to grilled dishes and selection of cold drinks.
Vegetarian, vegan and dietary requirement options available.
