The Botanist York, Exclusive Hire

Met friends for a Christmas catch-up meal. The atmosphere was busy but relaxed. Service was quick with polite waiters. The food (both vegetarian for us and meat for our friends) was delicious, well presented. The waiter asked if anyone had allergies and this was well managed. We had the crispy halloumi, lamb kofta and chicken hanging kebabs, which were delicious. Next, we had raspberry cheesecake and sticky Toffee pudding, and again, delicious. To top it off, the restaurant is dog friendly. Well done! This was our second visit and it certainly won't be our last.

Lovely little side room for our work Xmas do had an incident with a spilled drink from.staff but dealt with well. Had the Christmas menu shared starters, hanging turkey kebabs and sticky toffee puddings all round. It was amazing food.

This was our final stop on our Christmas trip to York. What a fantastic little place. It was a really busy day as it was the first Saturday in December, a lot of jolly Christmas Market goers We stayed for around 1.5 hours and had a few drinks between us. Pricing is about what you would expect for this kind of bar. Pleasant, hard working staff who were really under the cosh with the amount of people in. Didn’t have anything to eat, but my partner Infact did have dinner at the Newcastle one the day before and said it was absolutely superb! Well done all round
