Quick info
About Lakeview Palace Cafe
Lakeview Palace Cafe is a cafe in Hornchurch, set at the Boathouse beside a lake in Harrow Lodge Park. It works as a cafe by day and a restaurant by night, with a menu that blends Turkish and Mexican cooking. Breakfast centres on a full English with toast or bread of your choice and tea or coffee, and the daytime menu extends into lunch and early dinner food. Cocktails are part of the evening offer. Some tables sit right next to the lake, so diners can watch the swans. The cafe is open daily, and food and drinks are brought to the table. The upstairs level can be booked for private family celebrations and weddings, which gives larger groups a space of their own. The indoor seating is air conditioned, and the building has recently been renovated.

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast draws the most reviewers, led by a big full English with toast or bread of choice and tea or coffee, alongside a wide choice of other breakfast options. Portions are described as generous and even enormous, and the food is called tasty and well presented. Close behind is the lakeside setting, with outdoor seating beside the water and swans, plus covered outdoor seating and an indoor space. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and fast, and the menu extends to lunch and early dinner, with one couple enjoying a sandwich, shared chips and a shandy. Others mention a kids menu, vegetarian options and a dog friendly welcome, and two describe a private family celebration upstairs and a wedding. One reviewer calls the cafe small and chaotic, though another finds it very spacious. A post parkrun visitor notes the team coped well with the influx of guests, with food delivered efficiently and tables cleared quickly.

“The most perfect wedding venu, attentive staff checking in on guests, amazing food, great presentation and flavours, great for all adults, vegetarians too, and children with food they will like as an option. With the picturesque view of the lake from the outside seating areas and the most lovely team of staff, highly recommended for a special occasion to make memories. Thank you Ali and family for making the day,and evening, so special.”
