    First time here at this location and I loved it. The greenery everywhere is so inviting. We had the…read moreraspberry and vanilla cheesecake which was so yummy. I also had an old fashioned which was lovely. They had a live band which was really good. The service staff were really friendly and efficient. I will definitely visit this spot again

    The Botanist in Sheffield is quite hidden away in Leopold Square in Sheffield city centre, close to…read morethe City Hall stop on the Supertram network. It's probably the only bar and restaurant to also be a maze, its HUGE and other than outdoor seating it surely doesn't feel like you're entering a restaurant. They have 3 sets of two doors but strangely only one is in use and there is no sign for this, once inside you basically go back on yourself into a dark, dingy, horrible corner where they have the lift. After leaving the lift, finding the main restaurant is equally as puzzling and difficult. Admittedly, the decor in the restaurant is unique and innovative and true style of The New World Company restaurants, albeit I preferred the Media City branch, there were many similarities with trees, huts etc. It to me felt like an old bank or barn but refurbished, possibly even a potential wedding venue. I dined here during an ongoing promotion where they offered 40% off the food bill in January and ordered my regular Chicken and Chorizo Hanging Kebab which would usually come to £13.95. I did notice the menu to be slightly stained and sticky however service was reasonable with the waitress (Becca), seems to do a lot, despite not being overly busy she seemed to have a huge workload due to them appearing understaffed and she still worked in a friendly and polite manner which is commendable. They do also offer a set menu all year round however this still at £12.95 for two courses this still ends up costing slightly more than the 40% off promotion, so I have no idea why I was offered it. Also, I found it strange that they labelled dairy-free and vegetarian on both menus but only NG (non-gluten) on the regular menu, meaning if you did order from the set menu, you'd have to cross-check between them. Sadly the slight cleanliness issue which arose with the menus seemed to continue with the cutterly (ready on the table) which also wasn't entirely clean sadly which also is uncommon by usual Botanist standards. I did enjoy the majority of my kebab, while I do feel the garlic seemed to taste more overpowering and heavy than other branches, I did also find the meat on the ends to taste a little chewy and overcooked, while the middle was fine. It still had some good flavours and was rather enjoyable and certainly warranted good value for money, even at 50% off. Certainly not the best branch of The Botanist I've been too, but my food was still pretty good, as was most aspects of my experience. I do feel a lot of small improvements do need to be made, however, only warranting a three-star rating for now.

    I tried to get fish & chips with a pint after market day, but it was after normal lunch hours. The…read morebarkeep was kind enough to direct us to 6 Poor Folk - THANK YOU!! This place is a hidden gem right in the middle of town. The menu is eclectic and magnificent; from mussles to sausage sandwich. All done from scratch and all wonderful! The beer & cider selection is also excellent. So good we've been back within the month! I highly recommend! Staff is very friendly and spot on with recommendations.

    Very well done, in fact I enjoyed the experience here so much that I forgot to take any snaps! But…read morea great addition to the Knaresborough scene and one that seems to be suitable for any occasion. We popped in on Christmas eve to meet some friends for coffee and sat upstairs where it's quite intimate but also roomy, with a balcony looking over the main bar. The coffees were good and we snacked on a few bites while the kids had some tasty avocado on toast. I was eyeing up the burger menu for a good hour before deciding I'd just grab something back home - damn I wish I'd had that burger though as I can imagine it would have been good! Very friendly staff, a great old converted building, great selection of craft beers - yep - ticked all the boxes for me! These guys must be mind readers too as when trying to coax me in for a drink later on they actually said "we have a great selection of Japanese Whiskeys if you're into that" - and yes, I am so I know I'll definitely be back in very soon when next in Knaresborough!
