The Botanist, Warrington in Warrington

Nice atmosphere, food ok, but the drinks are stupidly expensive, cost us more for drinks than food. EG. One tin of fruit cider a few pennies short of £7, same one os around £1 in Sainsbury's. Then we found 10% added to the bill with no mention on the menu, come on we are not in the US, all here are paid a decent wage by law, adding a large service charge with no prior notice is just not on, won't be returning.

Very enjoyable, music quiz was fun.

Good food and a good atmosphere. Great staff...

Nice serving, friendly staff, delicious meal. Highly recommend.

Both had the Sunday lunch which was enjoyable, however we felt the portion was on the smaller side. Stuffing balls were small for the price too. However service team were friendly and checked on us regularly.

Great works Christmas party held here

excellent venue, superb street food

We visited last week for our works office meal and it was great! The staff were really attentive and couldn’t have done more for us. The drinks and food came very quickly after ordering. There was a singer on who was great and really added to the atmosphere. The restaurant was very busy and all the food that was being brought out looked delicious. Thanks for a great night!

Will is excellent and a brilliant entertaining barman

poor slow service, sat in worst worst area directly behind live music, don't think about talking to people your with, good 20 minutes since starters were finished and no sign of mains, no drinks service at table so up and down to bar, on the whole not a pleasant experience

Booked a table a few weeks ago for a Christmas lunch. On arrival shown to our seat. Other people in area waiting for meals. Service was slow and had to wait for someone to take our drinks and food order. The menu had a good choice but the Christmas menu you can only have a 2 course starter and main but have to order the 3 course if you want a sweet. We decided to order off the normal menu, a fish and chicken kebab. Service was very, very slow with no food coming from the kitchen. When ours arrived the fish was thick in batter which looked like it was out of a box, frozen. The peas with it had too much mint in them and tasted awful. The hanging kebab was alright, but the rocket with it looked limp and out of date. The nan bread would have chipped my teeth if I ate it because it was rock hard. Mentioned this to the waitress who replied, 'It's either to soft or too hard'. Another member of the public had their meal taken away and did not appear happy. I would not return here for a meal it was shocking and a waste of money.

Great place for food and drink. Great atmosphere with live music

Beautiful place, delicious food. 👍👌

Lovely relaxed atmosphere and excellent food. Nice to find somewhere that has a comprehensive vegetarian choice.

Always here for Sunday dinner and been never disappointed amazing food and great atmosphere shout out to Phoebe always outstanding service ❤️

Good trendy Bar, good atmosphere always worth a visit

I attended The Botanist on the 16th November for an evening meal. Inside, the restaurant looks really nice and the welcome from the staff was good. The food was average but the worst part of the meal was the accompanying music provided by two guitarists. It was far too loud, we couldn't hear each other and it was a relief when they took a fifteen minute interval. We asked if the music could be turned down, we were told it would be, but after the interval it was the same volume. Incidentally, the sourdough roll we ordered was rock hard, it should come with a dentist appointment for the following morning. Overall the experience wasn't great

This was mine and my boyfriends first visit. We had the hanging kebabs which we enjoyed. They had live entertainment, which we really enjoyed. Overall experience was great.

Lovely food and drink, staff were great

We dined here at lunchtime today with friends we had a wonderful experience. I have an allergy the staff went above and beyond to make sure that what I ordered did not contain the allergen. The food was well presented, hot and very tasty and the price was excellent. We will definitely return.

Thank you very much to all the staff here. We had our wedding reception here and they were all amazing. From booking with Francesca (I think she was from a central booking email) to the staff on the day they couldn't do enough for us. We were able to reserve an area and were able to decorate the table a few hours before. We had a party of 24 and ordered wine to the tables and drinks throughout being there (3pm to around 10pm) we all ordered food which everyone enjoyed. The staff were very patient and accommodating whilst we were ordering. The venue itself was perfect for wedding pictures. Thank you all again from the new Mr and Mrs Giles.

We dined here during our stay in the area - the service was amazing and so was the food. The live music made the atmosphere amazing. The only issue we’ve had - we did not book as I checked the website and there were loads of slots to book - so assumed they had availability - we arrived and got told 1.5h wait for a table… confused we left and checked the website again. We could book a table in 5 minutes. We came back and said we had a booking and they sat us in 5 minutes… Not sure what happened there…

Cold steaks that were so fatty it was similar to chewing fan belts! Usual big chain putting on a show, with obvious fake concern from staff. Sad times indeed!

Great atmosphere and good place for drinks. Good service and plenty of seating

Very good service & food in an attractive & relaxing setting. Staff were polite & attentive. Coped well with gluten-free diner. Ideal for a catch-up with friends.

Phoebe made sure that us as a family celebrated my sons 18th birthday in a special way The food was amazing and the service was too.. thanks for a wonderful evening ..Ollie enjoyed his complementary cocktail …we will certainly be back x Louise and family

Great service!! Thank you Olivia!!!! Amazing dealing with all our allergies and faffing about :) and being in the side room with a door that could be shut was perfect when dining with a 2 year old!

I brought my sister here today, never eaten here before.... outstanding! It's lovely food, cooked well and tasty. What topped it off was the service we received. The staff members were really friendly and attentive. Next time, I'll bring the whole family! Thank you.

Visited Botanist on Saturday during lunch time and although there was a sign outside advertising the lunch menu from £ 7.95 the lunch menu wasn't available on Saturday (Mon Fri only). We only found out about it when we were sited. Needed to order from the main menu. Food was good, portions small, but we were fine with it. Service was good as well but after some time we were asked if we ok and if we need something else so many times that we felt under slight pressure to order next drinks. Restaurant wasn't full, there was still a lot of space for other potential customers. My friend told me that on her previous visit they were told that they can only have the table for certain amount of time after finishing their food if they are not going to order more. So overall experience ok but could be better.

Love it in there just the service abit slow

Lovely meal again. We have been a few times now and the food is always good. The staff are so warm and friendly.

Firstly, the server was great. Lovely lady. The food was horrific, and the server was clearly embarrassed. I've never had fish and chips that looked, smelled, and probably tasted like it was dug out of the bin and microwaved. The drink service was super slow, too.

The food is really nice it has a nice vibe but I didn’t expect to spent £52 on a Sunday roast

Had my 70th birthday party here, Excellent service, great food and a lovely day had by all.

I had a vegan based, porcini mushroom vegan dish, and it was 10/10. Highly recommended!

Very decently food and a good selection of wines. I really enjoyed my hanging skewer of prawns with Coconut rice

Great service and experience. Venue offers an indoor outdoor romantic feel. Great selection of food in tapas style. However, more dietary restricted offers could be made available to complement some parts of the menu. Staff performed their responsibilities diligently during a gerenal/fire alarm where all guests were lead outside for a few minutes while the alarm was investigated at which point upon return the kitchen had not been reset yet, therefore no food was allowed to be ordered but the bar was still operational. This will not deter us from visiting again, it is a one-of-a-kind venue and the tapas options and cocktail selection is great!

Very nice hanging kebabs. Friendly staff. Fabulous Pot Cocktail ! Just thinking about next time here. I highly recommend this place.

Went here for a works leaving meal. 14 of us. The service was fast and friendly. The good was lovely and I would highly recommend the kebab

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our evening at the Botanist to celebrate a birthday. The food was very good and the atmosphere and live music fantastic. Phoebe provided great customer service throughout our meal.

brilliant service by Olivia, very friendly and did the upmost to ensure our experience was pleasant nice atmosphere in the restaurant

Visited today (05.09.24) nice place, love the water feature on the wall. Very quiet but understandable as was during the day, met by pleasant staff and orders taken. Food is awesome opted for the Dirty burger and the chicken kebab both really nice and good price for decent food / service. Excellent place to go in Warrington for food fully recommended

Great service from Phoebe today 31st August 14:30 .She was very organised and took all our food and drinks orders in great time and was really friendly and helpful .Food was fantastic as always .Highly recommended great service and food xxxxx

Trendy place, great location in Warrington being near the food market, for the price of the cocktail, I would have appreciated more cocktail than ice though, there was a rhubarb one I had for 10.00 2 gulps and it was gone, apart from that would go again

I really like this botanist. The server was super attentive and accommodating. The food is always good and you know what you are getting, and that it will be lovely too (even if the menu is a bit limited compared to other restaurants). Great for family gatherings, catch up with buddies over food and cocktails, or dates - I'd imagine ;)

Great food at Great prices. Relaxing atmosphere.

The food is very nice here but be warned that they automatically add a service charge to your bill. This is a very dodgy practice as they know most people are too polite to point it out.

Love this place but the price of the drinks is ridiculous . There's a few places near by that had plenty in and lots of atmosphere. So come on Botanist sort your prices out and I'm sure your takings will go up...

A bit pricey but the food was fantastic

Visited today, excellent food and service for 9 people. Staff the best in warrington

Great atmosfere, food is so tasty.

Went the other day for a catch up with friends great food and drink selection, James was very helpful and knowledgeable and his humour made the night even better. Will definitely return!

We were looked after by James who was super chatty and a great vibe all round. Food was spectacular couldn’t fault anything! Can’t wait to go back!

2nd time visiting. The venue is very nice and the service was spot on. The foods just below average though. Ordered the steak which couldn’t have been any more fatty and the rest wasn’t great either. Overpriced food for the standard of it. Can’t fault the staff or the decor in the venue but £50 for bad food isn’t ideal.

Lovely inside somewhere different. food was great and all reasonably priced.

Lovely atmosphere and the musician was fantastic. Food was very average and had far too much salt on it. Pricey for food portions

Amazing Sunday roast with a brilliant musician. Special shout out to Phoebe who looked after us throughout the whole visit. Highly recommend… it’s our new Sunday treat!

Went just yesterday with my wife for an anniversary meal and was blown away by the kindness of our server. My wife was looking for a specific type of wine that she has tried while at the races and was struggling to find it. Our sever, Courtney was quick to jump to help and helped my wife with small tasters of the Rosé wine they offered. My wife commented on feeling beautiful after our server compliment her on her outfit and she left the restaurant beaming. The only downside I could find is that for the duration of our meal, we had another server with blonde come over to us countless times and bother us while our server was absent. Other than that, the food was incredible. I had the Pork kebab and my wife had the Halloumi and we were both lost for words at how amazing the food was. Compliments to the chef! The environment inside the restaurant was also beautiful with a large waterfall cascading down the walls and plants lining all the aspects.

Excellent friendly service with great food and drinks. Warm welcome and brilliant live music in the background with a beautiful atmosphere

Phoebe was a great server. Despite being new to the role, she was very helpful giving her recommendations and was always checking to see if we needed anything. The live band made the aesthetic even better!

Made a trip advisor account just to comment on how amazing of a server Courtney it. My son is severely autistic and had a bit of a meltdown in the middle of our meal. She was quick to solve the problem he was having and offer kind alternatives. She walked him over to the waterfall and allowed him as much time as he needed to readjust and as a mother who doesn’t get out much, i’m extremely grateful for the time she gave me to enjoy my meal with my other child. She had some fantastic food advice and knew exactly what to say to make us laugh. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She is an absolutely amazing addition to your team and the managers should be proud.

Great food, beautiful company, bit loud for the talkers in the group!

Great place for pre drinks and food, or just to have a laid-back evening

Nice atmosphere, good drinks with friends and family

OMG their Sunday lunch menu is to die for. Great venue, lovely food, friendly staff and really good live music.

The food was tasty, but it was a bit of a shame that the exact dish I wanted was no longer available and was only mentioned when I ordered it. Then a drink was brought twice in a row where it was specifically stated that I did not want lemon in it and therefore it did contain lemon. There was also a wedding party going on and the music was so loud that we could no longer hear each other. So I got dessert somewhere else.

Style over substance. 1. The menu didnt contain the allergen information in the same way the online menu did. This meant having to scroll through the website rather than look at the paper menu. 2. The spritzer drinks, featuring English botanicals, were awful. The mix was bitter and astringent. Topped with a dried dead piece of thyme or rosemary. 3. The food was average AT BEST. The olives were unpitted, unripened, unseasoned, and therefore like eating salty bullets. My meal was supposed to be a noodle salad with some meat free chicken, and coleslaw. What came was coleslaw with a couple of Noodles and some chicken nugget lookalikes smothered in hot sauce. My friend was equally underwhelemed by her meal also. However, the staff were polite, so at least theres something. Will most definitely not be returning or recommending.

Wonderful service & tasty cocktails. The berry collada was my personal fave. You also couldn't go wrong with the linguine they have here. So creamy & flavoursome

Went on a sunday by myself for lunch before heading down to Manchester; had the Korean Chicken Kebab as suggested by my very friendly server Kourtney! We had some lovely chats about the places I had been and where she wanted to go and overall gave the solo meal a good atmosphere. The ambience of the restaurant was beautifully done, almost reminding me of a forest. The food was also top tier considering the price that I paid. It was about £15 for a kebab and it came with a side too which was a nice surprise. Drinks were also relatively cheap which I was happy to hear. Overall a great experience, staff were lovely and the food was even lovely-er

I've been to the Warrington restaurant a few times and loved the food and the atmosphere so I knew this was the perfect venue for my 40th birthday meal with my friends and family. From the moment I went to enquire to the moment we left the venue after the meal all the team I encountered have been amazing, helping with getting the right spot to be seated (28 of us), selecting the right menu, the pre ordering process, to helping on the day take the balloons and cake early in the day to just dealing with me and my guests on the day was flawless. Everyone commented on the venue choice and the food and how attentive the staff were. Thank you so much to the whole team. I'm looking forward to my next meal there already!

Went on the 3rd of may for a meet up with some long time friends and had some of the best and funniest service I've ever had. Was sat in a large open section with 4 of tm friends before going to rugby. Our server was a funny and chill girl who managed to persuade us all to get desserts. Overall 10 out o ten experience and we'll worth the cost

The food was amazing, great portion sizes and good prices. Friendly and helpful service. Atmosphere was lovely, enjoyed the live music.

Excellent atmosphere, food was amazing and there was plenty of it. The staff team couldn't have been more attentive. Very professional, friendly & accommodating. Would definitely recommend. Thank you for making our evening of celebration memorable for all the right reasons.

We were served by a lovely young girl called liv/olivia, she had only been working there around 4 weeks and was amazing, it's been a while since I've been somewhere and had service so good!

Amazing staff great atmosphere and amazing food will be back made to feel welcome.

This place is amazing great staff and amazing food even got a nice glass of prosecco to celebrate are anniversary. Will be coming again soon.

Food and service of excellence Apr 2024 • Friends This is an ideal location for a fantastic experience. We got seated straight away. Liv, saw to my partners preferences with what we can only call the most exceptional experience we have ever had. The chef even gave a sample to make sure sure my partners expectations were met. We have been to some of the most expensive restraunts in the UK and stillq had better service and attention to detail here. Liv needs to be made an example of how customer service needs to be kept to such a high level her aura and attention to the customers need is second to none. What a fantastic experience we had. Its not fair to say it was just down to Liv... all the staff were equally good including the chef.. If all restraunts were this good it would make it impossible to decide where to go. Well done to you all especially Liv. Thank you a million times for tonight ..

Very nice staff, food average, hygiene needs work.

Had an amazing time on mother’s day! Sat in a very open section of the restaurant that was managed by two incredible servers - a girl with brown and purple hair and a guy with brown hair also. The food was amazing, got the hanging kebabs and service was impeccable. Was also offered a free drink on the house as it was mother’s day!! amazing atmosphere and would definitely go back.

Great vegan options. Food is lovely. Service was great. Aesthetic is very nice! Have been a few times now and enjoyed every time. Very vegan friendly which is amazing. Would recommend!

Evie shushed me. Very rude. She’s great. Questionable music taste but an alright waitress. I think she may have stole a chip though.

I came in for lunch today and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I had the hanging kebab and it was amazing. I Will definitely be returning.

We hired out the front section by the water wall for our wedding reception and it was phenomenal!! There were quite a few false promises on the lead up to the wedding and a lack of communication between the staff (one saying they will do one thing and another then saying no they can’t do that) but on the day it was flawless!! They followed the seating plan I sent across and even decorated the wedding couples table and the cake table with flowers. The service and food was so structured and flown very well. They allowed us to pay before the day so we didn’t have to mess paying on our wedding day. Everything was set up before our arrival and was totally stress free. It was perfect!

Lovely light lunch with some colleagues, can't get enough of those hanging kebabs, will certainly be back with my partner for an evening meal.

Olivia was the best!!! Lovely girl really friendly and nothing was too much to ask for - gorgeous xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

amazing but they add a service charge and it costed 50 for 2 people

We came as a family to celebrate the birthday of a family member who has recently passed away so this had to be perfect… and it was. We all loved the food, service and atmosphere. Thankyou.

First time here and it was wonderful. James made our visit so comfortable and enjoyable. His service and attention to detail was impeccable. It's the first time in a long time that we've eaten out as a group and not had one thing wrong with our order. I wish we could get this level of professional service everywhere. It was well worth the drive from Stockport to meet up with family. We will be back! Thank you James.

Food was brilliant and arrived in good time with fantastic flavour packed vegan options. There was a lovely atmosphere as we requested a quiet table due to some of us having Autism and ADHD. Our server James was super accommodating, knowledgeable and great to chat to! Will be back!

Food was nice nothing amazing TBF but I'd Go back

Been to this place a few times now, really like it, we last went on Sunday Mothers Day!!! 2024 Food is beautiful 3 of us had the hanging kabab delicious 😋 the 4th person had a Burger all lovely. The staff are all lovely love them all, hard working girls and boys!!!

We booked for mothers day - 2 adults with a 4 year old and a 10 month old. Lovely friendly welcome upon arrival and shown straight to our table. Our server was excellent, very well mannered and looked after us. The food was lovely - I had a hanging kebab and my wife had a beef roast dinner. Had seen very mixed reviews on the roast dinners however hers was very good, hot, and plenty of food. The kids meals were brilliant for the price and the desserts were as little quirky and different which is always good to keep the little ones happy. Great atmosphere, and lovely surroundings and decor. I have knocked down by one star as the service was very slow. Food service was fine, drinks service took an awful long time. It also took quite some time to be offered desserts, and again for the bill. Nothing major, just maybe need an extra paid of hands or two on the bar. Overall we had a lovely time, my wife had a lovely mother's day, and we would be glad to return with or without the kids.

Food was lovely and the staff was very polite, but the band was to loud, we couldn't hear ourselves talk

Excellent ambiance, excellent food, always good. Lovely surroundings,

The food was good. The service was great really nice young people. However the music was very loud. There was a duo playing live music and while I'm sure they were very good, they were too loud. When people go out to eat, whether it be with friends, family or maybe on a date, conversation is a major part of the evening and sadly due to the loud music it made conversation without shouting virtually impossible. Sadly the background music between sets wasn't much better. I was with friends, we couldn't chat,we won't be returning.

Luke J was great !!!!! All of us had wine and he served us so friendly and so funny and lovely character, we had a great time ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I took my husband out for his birthday tea. His first experience of the hanging kebab. The food was delicious and the service was fabulous. Thank you to everyone. They even made a fuss of our dog. She enjoyed a few chips as a treat.

We’re only coming back if Brad stays! Don’t send him back to Liverpool! He wants to stay! Says he’s quitting if you send him back!

Brad was the best host ever. great venue, food, and live music. Quality evening. Great buzz in the place. Recommend to anyone that's looking for a place to eat or drink in Warrington 👍🏻
