Botanica - Horsham

On Friday at 19 o'clock we arrived to find the restaurant with many empty tables – strange when booking for a weekend evening is some weeks in advance. we were met and asked if we wanted to sit in or outside. we decided to have a cocktail outside before we go back to our table. it is a beautiful place; outside view over the country in south lodge and the natural swimming pool and terraces below. very nice. in restaurant was airy, light and done very nice again. this is what they pay, although unfortunately the experience of eating in botanica is simply not suitable for the place itself. the menu is good. there are no appetizers, only several types of brot and the list of main courses is not particularly inspiring. I couldn't find anything I liked the look. Anyway, we ordered and were told that eating a little slow in the coming, as a large order had just been placed by another table (but the restaurant is only 10% full of the focaccia that we ordered as divided nibble, then came almost immediately (but what it was, 2 thick slices cold bread served with olive oil and, not balsamic, but a kind of malt or other sharp. it was generally quite unpleasant and we left it. then the main course came to us. my wife had something called gundi and I had seabream. the first tasters were in order (and our server made sure that they were wondering if everything was good), but when we found that my fish was cold on places, the kartoffels were not boiled with the gnudi and also not the “blood mary fries (basch chips with paprika on them) we ordered as side. yes, we ate it and no, we did not complain at that time – sometimes the ones who know that it is not so good to wash slowly over them and then they are exposed and just think about going home and that we did in less than 90 minutes. very unsatisfactory of what we had eaten and then think the price we paid £108 actually. to that end; under par and uncooked eating, no starter, very expensive drinks (Medizin cocktail £15) children run around the tables (yes, in an allegedly relaxing health saving) and a 12.5% service fee (for which we had to go to them to pay the bill only to allow us to go home). style over substance, smoke and mirror, inspiring and indifferent. we had a better meal in the garden center for £17 on the following Sunday – recommend to do the same. in the did has this latest post pandemic experience (but yes, it is post-pandemic now allowed without saying to this price) my wife has taken in the ground and I know that we go to jack-in so called fine restaurants experience as they just don't, and simply not worth it.

Four of us went to birthday dinner and eating was amazing. fresh brot and dips, delicious vegetable small plates, followed by pheasant, vegan burger, pasta and steak. have we made a pudding? yes. the restaurant is highly recommended and is...back

Had a nice meal in botanica for our 17th high season. the restaurant is lovely, with views of the beautiful grounds and the staff are very friendly, welcoming and attentive. eating is absolutely delicious! for beginners we shared the brot with oil and balsamikum, with fresh tomato and mozzarella. my man had the steak and I had the beautiful ricotta and artichoke tortellini. delicious!

I love the fresh food and the atmosphere of this restaurant. I had brunch here and next to waiting with the waiter almost forgotten part of our order it was amazing. the picked pineapple in ingwer, granola and kokosmilch was surprisingly beautiful. Well...haved grounds for a walk forward or before. only the thing in the garden that could lie through the exchange as very dirty, so I could not use .. for a hotel of this quality I would expect that this will not be overlooked. Overall, I recommend this restaurant and can not expect to go back for more.

During our two-night stay at South Lodge, we dined at Botanica for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on both days. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with a modern and bright ambiance, and we thoroughly enjoyed all of the delicious food. The staff was exceptionally friendly and efficient, and we loved the outdoor terrace for dining or drinks. The menu offered a variety of healthy and tasty options, with decent portions and a selection of small, large, and sharing plates. The wine and drink menu was also quite impressive. Kudos to the staff and management for a faultless experience!
