There's nothing worse than arriving back in London after a lovely summer holiday and realisation dawning that nothing good stands between here and Christmas. Thankfully, Chelsea restaurant The Botanist has announced plans for an oyster and fizz pop-up bar in the middle of Sloane Square this September which should perk things up a bit.
The pop-up oyster and crustacea bar will be in Sloane Square between 16 and 18 September and willl serve up a wide range of oysters including West Mersea pearls, Brown Sea Island Dorset rocks and Duchy natives, at £2 each. If you've got longer you'll be able to sit down to half a dozen or a dozen priced at £9.50 and £18. There'll also be other seafood on the menu including poached Isle of Benbecula langoustines, whole dressed Dorset crab and a classic Atlantic prawn cocktail with avocado. Wash it all down with a glass of Chapel Down Vintage Reserve Brut for just £6.
The opening hours are Friday 16th September 11am – 7.30pm, Saturday 17th September 12pm – 7.30pm and Sunday 18th September 12pm – 5pm
