Having researched dog friendly places to visit during our stay in Chester, came across this place. Visited on a Thursday night and had dinner in the bar area which is dog friendly. Had a great acoustic guitar player providing entertainment, great atmosphere and the food was excellent. Opted for the sharing kebab which came with 3 hanging tiers of chicken, lamb and prawns. Could have done with extra bread but that was the only downside. Very ornate decor, perfectly in keeping with the Chester vibe. A must go to anyone visiting!
We ate late on a Saturday night. They had live music so it was quite loud. The service was super friendly and smiley. We had a sharing platter and pie of the day (Shepherds pie) all was super good- including the shepherds pie quick I was dubious about.
The sharing platter had 1 component missing but we were allowed to substitute with another item- great service.
Our 1st visit to Chester. Googled and found this little gem! Wonderful Sunday roast! The calamari is so soft and tender. Lovely peas and prosciutto soup! The dinner was just fantastic 😍
Can't believe I've not been here before! Such a quirky little place.
Each member of staff were so welcoming upon arrival. Booking system was easy to use.
The cocktails were amazing! And as for the food...WOW!!
We had 2 alcoholic drinks, 2 hanging kebabs and a side of haloumi fries and the bill was just over £50. Great value for the quality of food!!
We will definatly be visiting again.
I also had a lovely surprise to have recieved a complimentary drink as my husband mentioned to one of the staff it was my birthday. Thanks Botanist ❤️
Best eggs Benedict I think I’ve ever had. Gorgeous setting and service was second to none. Made our date that much more amazing.
We will be back 😊
We stopped by here during a short stay in Chester and we were so happy with it. My partner had the pork belly hanging Kebap which was super tender and delicious for him. I had the vegan meatball hanging Kebap! Absolutely amazing! Also, they were dog friendly so we could take our Balu with us :)
The live music on Friday was so good and the staff was very nice and friendly. Highly recommend this bar to everyone.
My daughter chose The Botanist Chester for her 18th Birthday lunch with quiet a number of us and it was most definitely the best choice.
The whole experience was outstanding before we went, during and after.
We used the pre ordering process as we were a large number of people and a number of different restrictions due to allergies, health conditions and preferences and it went seamlessly.
I can not recommend the venue enough, the waiting staff were friendly and attentive and were exceptionally busy throughout the time we were there.
The food and cocktails were absolutely top quality.
Value for money is always a big deal breaker for myself and as this was a special occasion I was prepared to be a little more extravagant but with the food, drinks, atmosphere and quality of service the money paid was more than worth it.
Highly highly recommended!!!
Thank you to them for making my daughter birthday extra special and fantastic.
A relaxed day out in chester, we saw this place tucked away down a little ally it was packed we had to wait for a table, so we went for a wander round the cathedral close by . I think service depends on your server. Ours was not the best! Although very friendly, not the fastest, the table next to ours got their food long before us even though we arrived and were seated long before them. That said, food was delicious we had the two courses and a beautifully presented Gin . Very quirky decor
The food was very good and really tasty. We went for my sister's 40th birthday and as a kind gesture, my sister was given a free drink! Lovely place and would definitely go back.
Absolutely gorgeous. Our first time them and will deffo be back. Brilliant service, food was gorgeous and definitely worth the money
It is a very rustic and cozy restaurant serving some top quality food. The staff was really friendly. We were taken care of by Hannah who was very kind and friendly.
We had calamari fries, crispy mushrooms, fish and chips, lamb kofta, Halloumi fries. Everything was delicious and worth every penny. I will definitely visit this place again.
We booked part of the restaurant which was on the back and it gave us a nice private place to enjoy a birthday party. Staff were nice and polite. We all enjoyed the night.
First time eating at the botanist with the family and it's definitely a place to go back to, totally faultless
Ordered 2 vegetarian roasts they were so delicious. The pastry is very filling and veg is tasty. Plenty of side veg and gravy too. Starters were lovely; hummus and cauliflower buffalo bites. Can’t comment on dessert as we were too full from the main to order any!
We were seated immediately, we booked in advance which I’d recommend as they were busy. Staff attentive. Service was good
