Seasonal Tips for Richmond Park Visitors
Spring/Summer: The park is busiest from April to September. Pre-order collection to skip the queue after your walk. Our lighter dishes like Chicken Tikka Salad and Fish Tandoori are perfect for warmer months.
Autumn/Winter: The deer rut (October) and winter walks call for warming curries. Our Lamb Rogan Josh and Chicken Madras are ideal for cold-weather refuelling. Delivery is popular during darker evenings — order online and relax at home.
