I recently visited the Botanical Gardens bar and had a fantastic evening, thanks in no small part to the wonderful staff, Laura and Sam. The bar itself is a hidden gem, offering a serene, botanical-themed atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. The decor is a perfect blend of nature and modern design, with plenty of greenery that really lives up to the name.
Laura and Sam were incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout the night. Laura, with her extensive knowledge of the drinks menu, helped us choose some outstanding cocktails, each crafted with care and creativity. A beautiful new drink which we all tried. The Botanical Gardensâ signature drinks, infused with fresh herbs and unique flavours, were a highlight. They were, mixing up cocktails with flair and always ready with a recommendation or a quick chat.
What really stood out was the personalised service. Laura and Sam took the time to engage with each guest, making sure everyone felt looked after. Itâs rare to find a bar where the staff contribute so much to the overall experience, but at Botanical Gardens, Laura and Sam do just that.
Overall, if youâre looking for a bar with a great atmosphere, exceptional drinks, and staff who truly care about your experience, Botanical Gardens is a must-visit. Laura and Sam have set a high standard for hospitality, and Iâll definitely...

There is basically one sandwich on the menu which also comes in a vegetarian form, sweet potato chips, some cuban style crisps and cuban doughnuts. The wait time for a sandwich is longer than you'd expect. If you wanted to come here for something to eat and a few drinks you're best bringing about...
