The Botanist - Cheltenham

If you're looking for somewhere to eat where the food and service are excellent, then this is a good place to start. It's rather on the expensive side, but I'm happy to pay more if the food quality is high, which it is here. The only slight downside was the volume of the music a bit too loud for dining. Also, being summer, the doors were all open, which allowed some of the noise from the music and resultant loud voices of customers to be dispersed outside; I suspect during winter, with doors closed, the sound level would not be condusive to holding any conversation whilst dining. All in all, though, an excellent venue for food and service, plus if you find stairs difficult they have disabled facilities on the ground floor very helpful.

Poor quality and rather tasteless food. Suggest this place focuses on drinks as food not worth it even with the discount

We had a Caesar salad which was ok (was better the last time we visited). However helped by the fact that we had 2 mains for the price of 1!

Disappointed with the limited food choices, our booking was at 1pm they opened at 11.30/12 and 2 main course were already unavailable!!

We didn't try the food, but had a couple of cocktails. They were on the average to good scale. They were slightly undersized, and slightly overpriced. The service was lacking, as there was only one barman doing drinks for the whole bar and restaurant. (there is no table service in the bar). Its a nice place though, I expect it will be very busy on a Friday/Saturday night.
