The Larder at Ventnor Botanic Garden

As each season arrives, the chef here at Ventnor Botanic Garden keeps a keen eye on his favourite garden-grown ingredients, ready to pick the many fruits, berries and vegetables when they’re at their best and most flavoursome.

Those which don’t make their way into the fresh dishes served in edulis Restaurant and The Plantation Room Café are turned into jams, preserves, cordials, larger, beer and syrups ready for sale in the Puya Boutique.

Whether you love the robust and warming wintry flavours of our Piccalilli or the sweeter summer tastes of our Crab Pear Syrup; they’re sure to make perfect gifts for loved ones at home or mementoes of your visit.
