Le Gavroche at The Lawn, Wimbledon: a practical, insider guide to the most coveted table in SW19
Quick Summary
Le Gavroche at The Lawn is Wimbledon’s most exclusive hospitality space: a private, Roux-led tasting menu with curated wine pairings, the original cheese trolley, and official Centre Court seats. Tables are strictly limited (2, 4 or 6), positioned inside The Lawn opposite Gate 5 with buggy shuttles, garden access and live music. Prices vary by day: lower-demand dates start in the low £2,000s + VAT; peak days (including finals) rise substantially.
What it is (and why it matters)
Le Gavroche at The Lawn brings the spirit of the legendary Mayfair restaurant—closed in January 2024 after 57 years—into Wimbledon for the fortnight. It’s an ultra-premium pop-up inside The Lawn, created by Wimbledon’s official hospitality partner Keith Prowse in collaboration with Michel Roux Jr. Expect a tasting “Menu Exceptionnel”, paired wines, and the theatre of the famous cheese trolley, all within a discreet dining room a minute from Centre Court.
Location and flow
The venue sits inside The Lawn, directly opposite Gate 5. Movement to the show court is quick, with buggy shuttles available; that matters when you’re pacing lunch around the order of play. After dining, you can spill into the English-style gardens for live music, whisky and cigars, or watch changeovers on the giant screen.

Pricing, demand and availability (what to expect)
Pricing varies by round and day. Recent public guidance places entry-level days from the low £2,000s + VAT; at the top end, finals-weekend dates have been reported well above £6,000 per person. Inventory is tiny and often sells out months ahead—particularly since the Mayfair restaurant’s closure intensified demand. Treat any figures as directional; live availability shifts quickly.
Who this is best for (and when to consider alternatives)
High-stakes hosting
