In Horto launches pre-theatre menu in Southwark
In Horto, translated from Latin to ‘In the Garden’, has reopened in Southwark, following an extensive refurbishment and menu development.
Offering modern British cuisine with European influences, the menu is centred around sharing plates, incorporating locally sourced ingredients, with all dishes prepared over their bespoke brick oven.
In Horto sources ingredients from Borough Market; Lake District Farmers and The Ginger Pig, with Neal’s Yard offering a selection of British cheeses.
All shellfish is sustainably caught off the Dorset coast via Portland Shellfish, with an array of vegetables sourced from nearby farms.
The use of smoke or fire is used in every dish at In Horto, where their brick oven is at the heart of the menu. Designed for sharing, the menu is divided into snacks, starters, mains from the oven and sides.
Dishes include a whole baked Tunworth, with garlic confit, truffle honey, white crab meat, charred baby gem and brown crab mayonnaise and snacking chorizo with honey and mustard.
Heartier options ‘from the oven’ include a whole sea bream served with green sauce, beef and bone marrow pie with root vegetables and red wine jus, and baked cauliflower with four cheese potatoes. desserts feature indulgent classics with tarte tatin, vanilla ice cream, chocolate mousse, honeycomb, salted caramel ice cream and tiramisu.
Complementing the culinary offering, the In Horto team has curated wines from Liberty Wines and their neighbouring sister site Tap & Bottle, alongside a handwritten list of special bins and vintages.
A selection of classic cocktails include Dark & Stormy, dark rum, ginger beer, angostura, Pepino picante (In Horto’s take on a picante); tequila blanco, lime, spicy agave, cucumber, and a Classic martini, gin or vodka, olive or twist.
