Cocktails inspired by the best of botany are served

terrace with a drink or bite to eat. Soak up the view
on a summer’s evening or make a special trip for the
昀椀reworks at the Lifeboat Festival on 8 August but be
sure to get there early.

popular venue – booking advised.
Expect: A vast collection of gins plus a varied menu
