The Botanical Café will the first all day table service restaurant at Kew Gardens and is located in the building formerly known as Museum No.1.
Oliver Peyton, the founder of Peyton and Byrne, said: “We are delighted to have expanded our portfolio at Kew Gardens. This is a really exciting new project, and we look forward to working closely with Kew to grow the ‘Why Plants Matter’ concept through the dishes we will serve and the ambient restaurant space we will create.”
The plant-based British menu, created by executive chef Lawrence Keogh (formerly of The Wolseley), will reflect the restaurant’s location and put an emphasis on natural, seasonal ingredients.
Peyton and Byrne also operate the Orangery Restaurant, Victoria Plaza Café, White Peaks Café and The Pavilion, to cater for the Garden’s 1.35 million visitors a year.
