A concept like no other, offering a soon to be world-famous selection of botanical cocktails, craft beers and ales, champagne and wine.
Way back when T.S. Eliot would breeze along West Street, with a poem forming in his mind, he'd often stop in a quaint bar for refreshment. Today we still welcome poets, explorers and riverside ramblers with nature's concoctions.
Food was hot and tasty but the fish and chips looked like a child’s portion. For £16.50 it was way overpriced! Service was excellent but there was only one other group in so it should have been. The desert menu was very small- if you don’t like cookie dough there’s not much selection!!
Booking for two. Were seated quickly despite it being a very busy. Waiting staff very attentive throughout meal. We ordered wings for starters and hanging kebabs for main. All very tasty, portions a bit on the small side the fries were on the cold side but put this down to how busy they were. Didn’t put me off finishing them! We stuck around in the bar for the live music and the staff kindly came to find me returning my scarf I had left behind. Overall would highly recommend. Food would have been 4 star had there have been more and the fries were hot. I also found the cocktails were very sweet.
This is a lovely venue, and we met up with a friend for lunch here. It was fairly quiet so for me, a person who is Autistic, that was ideal. That's where the positive ends. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with our food. Very expensive for very small portions. The sharing kebab when it arrived at our table, we thought was for just 1 person and another would be on its way out. Alas, this was not the case. For £32, we expected more than 2 pieces of chicken, beef and shrimp each. And 1 flat bread to share between 2 was a little cheap. I am also not a fan of restaurants automatically adding a service charge. That is for us, the diners, to decide at the end of the meal. I appreciate that times are tough financially, and restaurants have high costs with staff, business rates, electricity......... but charging high prices and not delivering value for money is not the solution. Unfortunately, we would not recommend this to friends and we will not return.
I had a lovely afternoon at 'The Botanist Bar' My friend and I chose a table at the front of the bar with open windows, giving it an indoor outdoor feel, perfect for people watching and vintage car spotting if that's your thing. Really nice chilled atmosphere for a sunny afternoon. The bar man recommended a classic margarita (perfectly made), We snacked on 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.
