Thumbs up for Shakshuka at the Roundwood Park cafe

I popped into the Roundwood Park Lodge cafe for lunch today with a friend. There was a warm welcome and time taken to describe the dishes on offer. The cafe serves a mixture of traditional meals, with a special children's menu, and Middle Eastern dishes prepared by the Egyptian chef.

We chose the shakshuka which was freshly prepared and very tasty:

There is plenty to tempt you if you are just popping in for tea or coffee:

The cafe has had a makeover but still attracts families. Children are able to use the attached play area or the toy corner in the cafe while their parents relax and chat.

Highly recommended!

Roundwood cafe reopens in time for the Easter Weekend

The weather forecast isn't great but one bright spot for the weekend is the welcome news that the Roundwood Lodge Cafe will be open for business.  The cafe in Roundwood Park will be open 7 days a week from 8am until dusk.

UPDATE: The Lodge, Roe Green Park, to be converted into a cafe

The Lodge on December 20th

Brent Council has granted planning permission for the conversion of The Lodge, on Kingsbory Road, fronting Roe Green Park, to be converted into a cafe.  It would include at outside seating area and toilets that would be accessible to park users as well as customers. This would operate on the same basis as the facility in Roundwood Park.

The cafe seatingwould be in an extension that will be built to blend in with the existing building.

The current state of the building (above) xhows what a challenge refurbishment present.
