The Botanist Newcastle

I have visited The Botanist before for a few beers (not the best selection hence the 4 stars.. better beer selection would o made it a 5 star). But not for food until a meet up with my sitting for a late lunch n av gotta say the food (whilst yes it was expensive) was absolutely tremendous so much so I went for a bottle of Red wine which complimented the steak (which was cooked medium rare n just the way I like it) perfectly. Will I return? If the chance arises.. yes

Lovely but extremely expensive when the majority of your £10 drinks are 90% ice. I attended a birthday there and the food that was provided was lovely. Again let down by the fact they provided no serving utensils so people literally took to taking handfuls of chips when they could have supplied tongs. There was also nothing to scoop the dips onto your plate with.
