The restaurant is accommodated within two rooms, the former Orangery built in 1870 and Queen Victoria’s former Prayer Room built in 1880, which are separated by two small interlinked lobbies The Terrace Restaurant is currently the primary indoor space available at Osborne for wedding breakfasts, offering capacity for c80 for a sit down meal. Its current main use, however, is as a restaurant for the day visitor to Osborne with covers of 125 (55-60 inside the Terrace Restaurant, 40 outside & 25 in Orangery) and offering a menu that is competitively priced and makes good use of local island produce.
