The Bottling Plant

An exclusive yet inclusive Barbican Restaurant cocktail lounge

Welcome

Welcome to our award-winning restaurant and cocktail lounge.

We offer a unique dining experience in an historic setting. Our name pays homage to the building's heritage as the original bottling site for Plymouth Gin, and we are conveniently located directly opposite The Distillery.

In our lounge area, you can indulge in locally roasted coffee and homemade cakes, and explore our carefully curated cocktail menu and wine selection. Traditional Devon cream teas are served daily at lunch-time, whilst our exquisite afternoon teas, perfect for special occasions, require a reservation (48 hours in advance).

We are proud to have received two prestigious accolades over the past year. Our commitment to quality and innovation was recognised with the One Rosette Award for Culinary Excellence 2024-2025, a testament to our dedication to outstanding cuisine and service. In addition, and more recently, we were honoured to be named Best Seafood Restaurant of the Year in the Southwest 2024-2025 by Prestige Awards, celebrating our passion for delivering exceptional seafood experiences.
