The Botanist, Kew. Crunch 7. Filling 6. Egg 7. 

Good effort. 
I liked this one. I noticed straight away that this pub was clearly a sister of the Garden Gate which I reviewed recently. The menu was the same but everything else was different. The barman attentive and enthusiastic about the beer (which was all on), the place was clean and most importantly the egg was a different class.
A real looker, with a little bed of rocket and a golden runny yolk. The egg could have used some salt to finish and lost a couple of marks as the white wasn’t completely set. The meat was delicious and was held in by a generous albeit a tad thin layer of crunch. I would however like to see them use real breadcrumbs and forget the run of the mill HP. 7 on 10.
