Bottle warmers in the Mother and Baby Room off Base Court and staff are more than happy to provide hot water so that a bottle can be warmed in the catering areas.

There are several dining options available on site, including the King's Kitchen Cafe, which offers light refreshments, sandwiches, and pastries. For a more substantial meal, the Tudor Kitchen serves up classic English dishes using ingredients grown in the palace's own gardens. Healthy options are available at both cafes.
