What a Summer so far! The Pavilion Café prepares for the last jazz evenings of the year at Greenwich Park

The team at The Pavilion Café, opposite the Royal Observatory in Greenwich Park have loved hosting our Friday jazz evenings and are so pleased to see the increase in guests coming to visit... and returning week after week.

 

The audience has got bigger and busier, with families and friends gathering for this relaxed music, food and drink event each week. It's great to see people bringing their own rugs and making themselves at home on our lawns whilst the kids play with the traditional wooden garden games (the really little ones have even been known to have a boogey!). The musicians of Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music are incredibly talented and it's been great getting to know them.
 

We've two more jazz evenings this year before we relent to the shorter and cooler evenings, but they'll return next May. See you Friday!

 

 

 

Update on Greenwich Park and The Pavilion

Thank you to everyone for showing an interest in the Pavilion at Greenwich Park. We are delighted to say that work has now started on refurbishing the building and all being well we should be open for the first weekend of the Easter Holidays.

So on to the name…our research showed that when the Pavilion was first opened it was called the ‘Royal Observatory Refreshment Pavilion’. The Pavilion has had several different names until the current signage for ‘Pavilion Tea House’ was installed approximately 8 years ago. The change to ‘The Pavilion Café’ will enable all visitors to the park to have a clearer understanding of the wider range of food and drink available throughout the day, and for families to enjoy on our summer evening late openings.

We want the Pavilion to be enjoyed by the many different people who visit Greenwich Park – and for our name to convey that this is a place for everyone, with a menu and atmosphere to appeal to all. We are very mindful of the heritage of this lovely building and would welcome any information on its history and identity.  

Please do get in touch with any information, anecdotes or memories of the Pavilion.

Thank you, Creative Taste.

Creative Taste Wins Greenwich Park Catering Contract

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Creative Taste has been awarded a 5 year contract to provide catering at Greenwich Park's cafés and kiosks.

From 7th November, Creative will be operating The Pavilion Café, The White House Bakery and three kiosks in the oldest enclosed Royal Park which dates back to 1427.

Along with complete makeovers which will include improved lighting and seating, all areas will benefit from a new focus on fantastic British catering and local produce at its best, with abundant displays of delicious food changing throughout the day to suit the customers needs.

Having had the pleasure of working with The Royal Parks previously at a number of events in Regents Park and Hyde Park, where this Christmas brings our 7th year at Winter Wonderland, we are really looking forward to the prospect of growing our relationship over the coming years.  

We look forward to welcoming you all to Park in the next few months!
