Situated a stone’s throw from the Royal Observatory, the Pavilion Tea House (run by Company of Cooks) has white picket fences surrounding lush greenery, making its grounds a safe haven for children to play, as well as a prime spot for taking in the magnificent City views from the outdoor tables. In winter, you may prefer to sit on the mezzanine level inside, which is bathed in natural light even on the most dreary of days.

Hot food is ordered at the counter, but delivered to your table; pizzas with crisp bases and peppy toppings (chorizo and caper, artichoke and mushroom) are great value at around £5. An unctuous salmon and dill fish cake was on the pricier side at £7.25. Decent sandwiches and baked potatoes are also available, though you may prefer to drop in simply for the Fairtrade tea and coffee, a glass of wine or a hefty slice of cake.

Awful. What could be a marvellous tea-house with cream teas, cucumber sandwiches and the like, is a stale 'get them in and get them out' coffee shop where staff hand you drinks made from a vending machine. This could be a wonderful place for locals and tourists to enjoy something old-school in our oldest Royal Park. But it really is completely bland and stale. Avoid.

Great location and lovely outdoor area - but the chooclate cake we had was overpriced, dry and stodgy. The beer was warm and overpriced. The interiors had all the cheer of a university canteen. Such a shame because they could do so much more with it.
