Our Gallery Café serves home‑cooked dishes at lunchtime, buffet‑style, with seating in the Refectory or the courtyard garden. Hot and cold drinks, along with freshly baked cakes, are always available.

Chef Amy has cooked internationally for over three decades, mastering cuisines from across the globe. At the OG, her ever‑changing repertoire includes bibimbap, Moroccan tagines, Malaysian curries, Austrian schnitzel, Mexican chilli, and Poké, to name just a few. From Tuesday to Friday, she prepares two Dishes of the Day, complete with sides and house‑made dressings. One dish is always vegetarian or vegan, while Tuesdays often feature her celebrated Laksa noodle soups, widely regarded as among the best in London. Be sure to check the weekly menu to see what’s on offer. If you’ve saved room, the dessert trolley is irresistible. Homemade delights such as carrot and orange sunshine cake, spiced pumpkin loaf, pecan pie, and more provide a sweet finale to your meal.

Amy’s legendary hospitality, paired with uncompromising quality and service, unfolds against a backdrop of contemporary art. With its warm atmosphere and distinctive character, the OG Café is a true hidden gem for lunchtime in Holborn.

Booking is required for groups of five or more guests.

The Café offers a 10% discount on lunch dishes for:

  • Guests renting the Club or Theatre Rooms
  • NHS staff, upon production of credentials
