Afterwards we can have another stroll in the botanics and then make our way to The Orchard (5 to 10 mins walk). Sunday Roasts of Beef, Lamb and Chicken are available along with many other menu choices. The table is booked from 4pm for 2 hours. I will need a pre order for Sunday Roasts nearer the time to guarantee availability.
