Botanica Hall is an all day restaurant, bar and social space on St John’s Road beside Clapham Junction station. The large, light filled venue moves from morning coffee and relaxed daytime working to dinner, cocktails and music later in the evening.
Coal fired pizza is a central part of the food offering, with margherita sitting beside combinations involving smoked cheese, spicy sausage, honey and plant based toppings. Fried dough parcels, arancini, padron peppers and other Italian inspired small plates provide food for sharing.
Brunch brings together sweet and savoury daytime dishes, while pasta, fried chicken, salads and substantial Sunday roasts broaden the menu beyond pizza. Group feasts and sharing packages allow larger tables to combine several dishes without everyone ordering separately.
Cocktails, wine and beer accompany the food from afternoon into late evening. DJs, bottomless brunches, cocktail classes, private events and areas suited to gatherings give Botanica Hall a flexible identity beyond that of a conventional restaurant.
Address: 1 St John’s Road, Clapham Junction, London SW11 1QN, United Kingdom
