ETM to open pub at Broadgate Circle this month


ETM Group is set to open a new pub in the City, within the £20m Broadgate Circle - the food, drink and leisure scheme. The company's first late-night venture will open on 15 April.

The Botanist Broadgate Circle will occupy 7,986 sq ft split over two levels: a ground floor bar and restaurant and the subterranean Soda Room.

A raised dining area, bar and al fresco terrace on the ground floor will cater for a total of 158 covers. Key design features will include a central feature bar.

Open seven days a week, the restaurant will cater to weekday lunch, dinner, light bite and Sunday lunch trade with signature dishes to include: shellfish platters; tuna tartare; Iberico pork shoulder with pickled nectarines and nasturtium; confit duck burger with blue cheese and a selection of prime cut steaks.

Downstairs, Soda Room will be open until 2am Wednesday-Saturday with the option for private hire on Mondays and Tuesdays. The sleek space will have a 150-cover capacity with pre-bookable booths, a dancefloor and live DJ nights.

An extensive list of international wines, including those from an Enomatic wine dispenser, will sit alongside premium draft lagers, cider, spirits and of course the innovative ever-evolving cocktails that The Botanist on Sloane Square has become synonymous with.

An estimated 250,000 people pass through Broadgate every day. Its catchment extends to more than 7.1 million people with a total comparison goods expenditure of £12.75 billion per annum.

Cafes and restaurants already at Broadgate include Gaucho Grill, Arancini Brothers, Rocket, The Liberty of Norton Folgate and Gatti’s, in addition to pubs and bars including Corney & Barrow, The Fleetwood, Jamies Wine Bar and The White Horse.
