About The Wolseley

Specialties: Breakfast, Lunch, Afternoon tea, Pre-theatre, Dinner and late dining. Established in 2003. In 1921, Wolseley Motors Limited commissioned the architect, William Curtis Green, to design a prestigious car showroom in London’s West End.

The grand, atmospheric interior with its towering pillars, arches and stairways was testament to the great ambitions of The Wolseley Car Company. Unfortunately, the cars did not sell well enough and by 1926 the Company was bankrupt.

Barclays Bank acquired the building and the new branch opened in April 1927. William Curtis Green was recalled to design managers’ offices (now serving as a bar and salon) and a banking counter, as well as a post box and stamp machine, still on display today.

Corbin & King then acquired the site that became
The Wolseley, opening in November 2003. It had long been an ambition to open an all-day brasserie/café in the European style, which The Wolseley has fulfilled.

    Specialties: We’re an authentic family Italian restaurant and cafe that’s been focusing on providing freshly prepared, home cooked dishes since we opened our doors over 100 years ago.

    All dishes are available all day, whether it be a freshly cooked breakfast or muesli with freshly squeezed orange juice to a homemade steak pie served with hand chopped chips or a rich spinach and ricotta cannelloni. ‘Fish and chips’ is served once a week on a Friday- fresh cod or seabass in homemade batter, fried and served with whatever you please. Established in 1900. Priamo Pellicci bagan working in the cafe in 1900 and it was here that his wife Elide brought up their 7 children single handedly whilst running the cafe below to keep the family after her husbands death in 1931. Elide is the E.Pellicci who’s initial is still emblazoned in chrome upon the primrose- hued vitrolite glass fascia and her portrait remains inside the cafe, she and her husband counterbalance each other eternally on either side of the serving hatch in the cafe.
    Nevio Snr.was born upstairs and he ran the cafe until he passed away in 2008. Head of the family business today is his wife Maria who has been cooking here since 1966 and possessses a natural authority and charisma that makes her a worthy successor to Elide.
    Son Nev Jnr.,daughter Anna and cousin Tony makes the Pellicci cafe family complete.
    Pellicci’s boasts an ornate panelled wooden decor carved by carpenter Achille Capocci in 1946 and thanks to his handiwork has been awarded
    grade II status by English Heritage.

      Specialties: We are an independent coffee shop, deli and apéritif bar started by friends of Italian, Australian and English extraction with a shared passion for quality coffee, food and wine. We draw on a shared wealth of skills and many years of experience in hospitality and business to blend the very best of Italian and Australian café culture. We hope to become a hub for the coffee-drinkers of Fulham and a destination for London’s growing community of die-hard espresso pilgrims.

      The primary focus of our business is quality (Allpress) coffee and the skill of our barista in producing rich espresso and smoothly textured milk.

      Our food and drink selection emphasises freshness, simplicity and quality.

      We only use the finest quality, natural ingredients and we make a big effort to use organic produce wherever feasible.

      Many of our suppliers are family owned and much of our food is home-made, by or for us. Established in 2013. Opened in June 2013.

We are open from early morning to mid-evening for breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in between, including your mid-morning take-away coffee. Established in 2015.
