Great British Restaurants to Visit this Autumn

The Botanist x Carousel guest chef series takes place 6-10 October with the exceptionally talented Craig Grozier, in-house chef for the Bruichladdich distillery (producers and home of The Botanist Gin) and founder of the innovative dining concept Fallachan in Glasgow. His hyper-seasonal, local, progressive and wild-to-the-core approach to cooking encapsulates the same proudly local ethos that makes The Botanist such an outlier in the craft gin community.

Grozier’s five-course menu will take diners on a culinary journey featuring the best of Scottish Autumnal produce. Expect dishes such as Arbroath smoked sea trout, preserved gooseberries, oyster cream and kohlrabi and Gigha halibut, smoked Jerusalem artichoke, mussels, black garlic and sea vegetables. Coupled with The Botanist’s Pineapple Weed and Chamomile Collins cocktail, this isn’t one to miss.

GLADWIN BROTHERS, VARIOUS LOCATIONS

Restaurateurs and brothers Richard, Oliver and Gregory Gladwin, Gladwin Brothers, who own and operate Sussex in Soho, The Shed in Notting Hill, Rabbit in Chelsea and Nutbourne in Battersea provide Londoners with the very best organic British produce from their family farm where they grew up in West Sussex. A celebration of the glorious English countryside, The Gladwin Brothers also have an online shop stocked with fresh, nutritious and sustainable food boxes sourced directly from the Gladwins’ farm.

They also sell a Farm Fresh Box with a range of seasonal vegetables, the Herb Box packed with an array of aromatic fresh herbs and a changing selection of beautiful cuts of meat depending on availability. New to the online shop is a range of dishes including their signature Beef Wellingtons, pies, pestos, tarts and ice creams for the full restaurant experience at home.

HUNTER’S MOON, CHELSEA

Pub and dining room The Hunter’s Moon on Fulham Road offers a true taste of an English country pub in the heart of London, and is the perfect spot to while away an autumn afternoon. Owner Chef Director Oliver Marlowe’s daily-changing menu is full of light yet innovative dishes using the best seasonal ingredients: warm salad of wood pigeon with onion confit, pancetta, crispy hen’s egg and balsamic, or chilled gazpacho with Cornish lobster, crème fraiche and lemon to start; and mains of Cornish cod with hispi cabbage, baby leeks, chicken tortellini and roast chicken butter sauce; and roasted lamb rump a la niçoise with olive oil crushed potatoes, slow cooked cherry tomatoes and feta.

On top of the à la carte, the specials board offers additional surprises and delights; from tempura lobster burgers to treacle cured salmon steaks. To finish, a range of showstopping desserts such as a raspberry ripple baked Alaska and Eton mess with strawberry and prosecco cocktail are too tempting to refuse.

After graduating from Cambridge University with a triple First, Rosie decided to pursue a career in the fitness industry rather than follow the traditional path of her peers in investment banking. Unable to shake off the fast-paced routine she developed in her City job, she achieves balance by winding down in yoga sessions, escaping on fitness retreats, and going for extended brunches that somehow seem to wind up in a hidden gem of a cocktail bar.
