The Botanist Bar Restaurant

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 waitress was friendly and kept assuring us that our food was on the way. She informed us it would be just 10 minutes, but 30 minutes later, still nothing had arrived. Eventually, someone came out to notify us that they were out of roast potatoes and offered us some alternatives. While that would usually be acceptable, it became clear that they hadn’t even started preparing our meals until after an hour had passed. After waiting for 1.5 hours, we decided to leave, which was especially disappointing since we had a young child with us and needed to find alternative food for them by 9 PM. Overall, it was an incredibly poor experience.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Excellent service and delicious food. As someone with celiac disease, I appreciated the great gluten-free options available.
