The Botanic Road Bar & Eatery is situated in the heart of Churchtown Village. They have recently extended their food service hours from 9.00am – 9.00pm serving Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.
As you enter you are welcomed by a magnificent setting, a delightful marriage of the original beam work and luxuries of modernity. Tables toward the front have a wonderful view of the picturesque village. For those who have not booked and are waiting or simply want a quiet drink there is a cosy ‘Snug’ upstairs to start your evening off with winged back chairs and sofas.
The new ‘Small Plates’ menu (a selection of refined small plates) offers a wide variety of mouth watering dishes. I had the King Prawn Crostini and Baby Chorizo drizzled in Honey off the ‘While you Wait’ section whilst my friend enjoyed the Cauliflower Beignets, they were delicious. To follow we ordered the Slow Roast Belly Pork, Crispy Chill Beef Noodles, Pan-fried Sea bass, Crab Scotch Egg with Seafood Bisque and Bubble and Squeak. The food was outstanding! Our dishes arrived in a continuous flow throughout the evening which allowed us to enjoy each dish. The sociable style of dining they have created is a wonderful concept, there were a few groups of friends in enjoying a drink and the atmosphere was buzzing. To finish we opted for the ‘Assiette du Jour’…. Wow! A selection of four small desserts, a perfect end to our meal.
Chefs Andrew Whitehead and Cameron Brown clearly have a passion for food, a fabulous balance of flavours, top quality ingredients and beautiful presentation. The menu caters for all from Gluten Free to Vegetarian to Vegan.
The service from the front of house team was equally on par. Greeted with a smile on arrival and professional, friendly and knowledgeable staff. They really couldn’t do enough to ensure we enjoyed our evening.
I would highly recommend the Botanic Road Bar and Eatery, fabulous food, service second to none and beautiful surroundings- a real gem!
