In Horto

In Horto is a restaurant on Southwark Street in Borough, brought to London by the team behind Flat Iron Square and Goods Way (TVG Hospitality). The Latin phrase ‘In Horto’ translates to ‘in the garden’, with the inspiration for the restaurant drawing on themes of nature and pastoral tradition to create a rustic dining experience.

In keeping with this, a host of natural materials have been used throughout the space to evoke the feel of a botanical garden. Characterful brickwork, foliage displays, wooden beams, woven lampshades and wooden benches encourage relaxed, communal dining, while a vast in-house, bespoke brick oven can be seen in the open kitchen where it turns out a seasonal menu of rustic plates.

The menu has been designed primarily with a sharing style of dining in mind, with guests able to order dishes ‘for one’ or ‘for two/three’. Diners can choose from a concise selection of mains, as well as breads and sides, with examples of dishes including whole-baked cauliflower with four cheese potatoes, garlic and parsley, cod fillet with fire-roasted ratatouille, herb and preserved lemon salsa, roast chicken with crème fraiche, vermouth, garlic potatoes and leeks, and slow-cooked lamb shoulder with harissa vegetables. A choice of olive oil bread or a tear and share loaf can be ordered alongside, with either burnt onion butter, nduja butter or aubergine dip.

Discover a series of garden-inspired cocktails where botanical ingredients are placed in the spotlight. Opt for something simple such as a Cucumber and Elderflower Tonic made with cucumber, lime, elderflower tonic and gin, while the Bumble Fresco combines blackberries, mint, bourbon and ginger beer. A broad wine list offers bottles from exceptional producers and vineyards around the world, while a focus on organic and biodynamic labels is in keeping with its all-natural ethos.

In Horto is committed to using local suppliers wherever it can with an emphasis on sustainability and seasonality.
