The Botanist Bar Restaurant

Amazing food, really good service and friendly staff. The lovely lady that served us was so sweet and attentive. Would go again, best place to take family out to eat!

Had the roast pork belly and the cookie dough dessert my only regret was that I couldn't finish everything. Will be waddling home for a well-earned nap and I will definitely be coming back to try more of the menu.

The food was amazing and our waitress was so accommodating! It is pricey but so are most of the places in this area! Reccomend booking before going because it is pretty busy! We got the plant based burgers and a hanging meat free meatball kebab! The sweet chilli fries are quite sweet fyi! Loved the mac and cheese! Would definitely go again!

Enjoyed a lovely lunch with my wife. We selected the vegan sharing platter and couple of sides. Were full but had room to share a desert, a vegan frangipane which was by far the best vegan desert we've had in ages. Knocks the socks off the other chain restaurants that can only manage salted caramel, sorbet, or no vegan ice cream options. Bravo, Botanist! All was enjoyable and the service was excellent.

I enjoyed a delightful afternoon at The Botanist Bar. My friend and I opted for a table near the front with open windows, creating a lovely indoor-outdoor ambiance that was perfect for people-watching and spotting vintage cars if that's what you enjoy. The atmosphere was wonderfully relaxed, ideal for a sunny day. The bartender suggested a classic margarita, which was perfectly crafted. We also indulged in some spicy fries and calamari.

Restaurant was very pretty but extremely loud with the noise from all the youngsters in the bar as well as the very loud guitars and singers. There were four of us in our group and we could hardly hear each other talk and had to shout at each other. The next day I had a sore throat and hardly any voice. I would not go to the Botanist again on a Saturday as it’s obviously for teenagers getting drunk. Maybe it would be worth a visit during a week day lunch time.

Greeted by a beautiful exterior we knew this would be a nice place to enjoy dinner. And well it was mostly...the food itself was tasty but portion size was very average especially the hanging kebabs which are one of their champion dishes. One thing they handled well was allergies as one of our party members had many. We were able to speak to the chef prior to arriving and he informed us of all the things that he was and wasn't able to eat. Prices were pretty standard across the board as far as English pubs go, that is to say still pretty expensive. They gave us a pleasant outdoor seating area for our dog which was a nice touch as well. So far so good but ultimately the lack of availability o...

The Botanist features an interactive allergen menu that allows you to access it on your device and select the relevant allergens, showing only the dishes that are safe for you to eat. This is a great feature because it eliminates the need to discuss what can be altered with the waitstaff. However, one downside is that the choices can be quite limited depending on your allergens. We ordered the Salt and Pepper Pork Belly Hanging Kebab and the Lamb and Mint Pie (all of their cakes are gluten-free!), and both dishes were excellent. A couple of notes about the meal: the potato sides and mushy bases were rather pale, so I added an extra portion of Creamed Cabbage with Smoked Bacon, which was also...

The Botanist features an interactive allergen menu that you can access on your device, allowing you to select your specific allergens and see only the dishes that are suitable for you. This is a great concept since it eliminates the need to discuss dietary restrictions with the waitstaff. However, a drawback to this system is that, based on our allergens, the available options were quite limited. We decided on the Salt and Pepper Pork Belly Hanging Kebab and the Lamb and Mint Pie (all their pies are gluten-free!), both of which were exceptional. I do have a couple of minor criticisms regarding the pie: the portions of mashed potatoes and mushy peas were rather small, leading me to order an a...
