Based on Chester’s St Werburgh Street, The Botanist is renowned for crafting cocktails infused with natural herbs and plates filled with foraged delights. However, another string to its bow is the restaurant and bar’s enchanting brunch menu. While it offers a range of brunch classics, each dish is infused with the eatery’s passion for fresh ingredients.
Eggs for every occasion
A beloved brunch staple, egg dishes are favoured by many for the meal sandwiched between breakfast and lunch. Poached egg on toast leads the Botanist’s brunch menu but offers diners a wide range of accompaniments including hand-carved ham with hollandaise sauce, smoked salmon, spinach with roasted garlic mushrooms or avocado topped with homemade tomato jam.
Omelettes are also accessible served with buttery granary toast and loaded with creamy mushrooms or haddock fondue.
Meat feasts
A seven-ounce rump steak leads the meat treats for brunch at the Botanist, served up with two fried eggs and Lyonnaise potatoes. Carnivores looking for decadent delights can indulge in Croque Monsieur with ham and melted Gruyere between French toast slices and topped with an egg or the Breakfast Burger, stuffed with streaky bacon and Cumberland sausage.
Sweet treats
For those seeking sugary delights, the Botanist serves buttermilk pancakes. Layered up with banana and maple bacon, pancakes come drizzled in syrup.
Bottomless cocktails
Finally, those brunching for birthdays and anniversaries will find it easy to celebrate. The Botanist’s signature bottomless brunch cocktails include Bloody Marys with rosemary and smoked garlic and pink grapefruit and peach sangria, along with brunch favourites like Bucks Fizz and Prosecco.
