Not my best experience of eating in Knutsford, I like to be able to talk to my partner, sadly last night we could not. Not the best of service up stairs.

Our second visit did not disappoint!! Having discovered that The Botanist in Knutsford is THE dog friendly dream, it was lovely to revisit and re-realise that it still is! Great food served in the loveliest, warm, live music gently, filled, beautifully rustic, surrounds, confirmed that we were right to praise and right to return … thank you.. 🥰👍 We both had the Sunday Roast, me the Pork Belly, him the Veggie Wellington, both were perfect.. the sides were perfectly cooked and presented.. from taste to texture a foody delight all round.. And not forgetting the Raspberry Cheesecake we shared and of course the girls leftover delight, which they ‘wolfed’ down.. pardon the pun .. haha.. 😂😂 Thank you Botanist Knutsford team for a great second showing.. HIGHLY RECOMMEND to all foody dog lovers.. don’t miss out.. 🐾❤️🐾

It is a nice place! Food was tasty and really good in quality. Now for what you pay the quantity it was just okay. I will deff though go back to try the other skewers as the prawn, halloumi and kofta i tried tonight where all very interesting in tastes The waiter Jorge (sorry for spelling) was very helpful, friendly and generous with us.

Really enjoyed the food. Unfortunately on the evening of our visit there was a live musician, and although he was good, we couldn’t have a reasonable conversation with each other without almost shouting The service was attentive and we would have stayed for another few drinks but went somewhere a little more quiet !!

We visited early on a Saturday evening and found our table on the balcony rather noisy - but moved to the back area where it was quieter, with a stunning view of the sky through the roof windows. The food was fine - I would have liked a bit more healthy salad on my 'bowl' and a bit less carby, rather greasy things (but I always want pub meals to be healthier than they are). Staff were pleasant and friendly.

Been here many times and the service has not always been great and I'm pretty sure there was a service charge last time, which we paid despite a few issues. Called in on a quiet Tuesday lunchtime and the young waitress really looked after us. Good sense of humour and nothing was any trouble. Always thought of the hanging kebab as a gimmick but a must on your first visit as it was for my friend, on this occasion. He really enjoyed it. I went for the Harissa lamb with chunky chips and both were first class. No service charge but we tip anyway and it was well deserved.

Overall it was ok. My first impression was that the floors were dirty and sticky. The handrails too. I had a burger and it wasn’t good. It tasted burnt. I didn’t complain because I was starving and tired and didn’t want the fuss. Having said all that, the service was very good.

Haven’t been for a while used to enjoy it as far back as the Knutsford wine bar. But the main problem was the food. They specialise in hanging kebabs which Im not keen on. So I had a sirloin steak asked for medium rare was given a small portion which was cooked medium. Waitress agreed and took it back. Returned with a larger steak this time cooked medium rare. But it was so tough and at least 25% gristle. And it was tough. Left nearly all of it. It cost around £34! The waitress saw the manager and it was taken off the bill. I gave her a tip as the service was so good as she had to keep trekking up & down the stairs. I think we were upstairs as we had our dog with us. Never again! The waitress told us it was a new chef. My dad used to say “you can’t ruin a good steak “ so I guess it was a cheap steak too. I recently cooked Tesco finest sirloin steak at home & it was fine. We won’t be returning! I guess it’s good as a wine bar but not a for food

The Botanist.. the most dog friendly place I’ve ever been too.. it was so beyond welcoming to 4 paws it took me by surprise.. just amazing.. such a great experience.. I’m not always a fan of chain places.. but this was genuinely amazing.. the food, service, the building, everything about it was top level and couldn’t be faulted at all.. but their welcome of 4 paws was next level.. Firstly so many dogs when we walked in.. we were shown to our table and before we’d even done anything, a waiter appeared with a carafe of water for the table and dog bowl of fresh water for the dogs.. 🥰🥰 Then as soon as we had ordered our food he asked if we’d like bowls for the girls and then he produced to cardboard bowls, so that we could save them a little food.. with absolutely no prompting from us at all.. There were dogs pretty much on every other table, on some tables their were several dogs.. the whole place was just lovely and calm, with all the staff being so chilled and dog confident that they created the perfect atmosphere for the dogs to all be so well behaved.. There was also a great acoustic set from a singer with a guitar, who was brilliant, without being too much For Sunday relaxed vibes.. Honestly the best, most welcoming, dog dining out experience I’ve ever had.. so, so, impressed.. thank you.

Quirky place with a good ambience. Food was mixed with the starters being just "ok", the hanging kebabs themselves were really good and real barbecue/flame cooked flavour. The accompanying dishes, rice's, fries, etc. were not as full as they ought to have been. The portion sizes were less than expected across the board The challenge we had was, we were clearly told that we were expected to be clear from the table by 6.30 (1 hour 45 minutes window). No problem. It was clear, we ordered early... And then waited and waited. The starters eventually came. I advised my wife to order her vegan dessert in case they ran out later... She ordered with the main... We waited for a long time for the main courses... (30 minutes? We ordered desserts and made clear we were under instruction from the restaurant to be out, so please speed up the service... All the desserts came after 10 minutes EXCEPT the vegan dessert which had been ordered with the main courses! We waited another 25 minutes with 3 reminders to the waiting staff... Eventually, I had to go down the stairs and get a manager to sort it out. We just made it out in time. I would have given more stars for the food if the quality and portion sizes were more consistent and slightly bigger. Certainly, the service needs attention and if guests are given a window to eat, then the service has to be efficient enough for the customer to meet the expectation... We felt rushed when we would not have been under any pressure if the meals had been served promptly. I hope this is taken in the spirit it is intended!

The Botanist was recommended by my sister, my husband and I went on our 17th wedding anniversary on Sunday 5th May, in the end we had to take our teenage boys too as our day was so busy I couldn’t be bothered sorting them out separate meals. We were seated upstairs, atmosphere was just okay, decor was nice. Service was very good and friendly. Heads up, we spent £133+ on our meal which for an average family I think is extremely expensive. We only had fruit juice or cokes to accompany three hanging kebab meals and one burger meal, hubby had two sides. Gotta say the food was delicious and unique, out of three nights Knutsford dining out, this was myself and my youngest’s favourite restaurant. I had chicken kebab, hubby and youngest had lamb. Everyone was happy. We also had dessert; myself & youngest the smores one, hubby the pretzel one and eldest the banana one, they were all quickly polished off. I’m just shocked at how expensive it was here though I would dine again, maybe without my kids! The costing is why I give just four stars.

We had a fantastic Sunday roast and overall experience at The Botanist! The building is gorgeous and the decor is stunning, particularly the bar and the beautiful lighting fixture in the center of the room. We had the sweet chilli fries, the mushroom Wellington and the roast chicken (with pork stuffing), all of which were delicious. Also, the staff couldn't have been more warm and friendly. There is also a live singer on a piano, who is brilliant and created the perfect ambience for a Sunday afternoon. Knutsford has many lovely restaurants/bars but this is surely one of the best, very highly recommend.

We had four of the two for one kebabs between three of us and one had fish and chips, the kebabs were all lovely, prawn, lamb and pork belly. All came with fries. Three of us polished off the four kebabs n fries no problem, they are not large portions and we are not big eaters.. The dips that came with the kebabs were not very nice but not really needed. The fish and chips with mushy peas were terrible! The batter was over cooked on the outside and raw almost lard like on the inside. We were told this was because is was gluten free. I think catering for the minority has spoiled it for the majority. Not good. Not sure what they had done to the peas, obviously home made but whatever herbs they had in them were completely overpowering. The service was good, the price was good but won’t be going back.

Generally speaking we always have a great time at The Botanist in Knutsford, but our visit on Sunday fell a little below par. At no point did a staff member check in with us during our courses to ensure everything was okay. Another thing we noticed was my friend and I both ordered a roast dinner, and rather than a pot of gravy each there was a small pot to share between the two of us (nowhere near enough and we had to ask for more), and we had a small bowl of veggies to share (one piece of tenderstem each). When paying almost £20 each I would have expected a bowl each. The table beside us did in fact get a bowl each - so what was the difference?! We also had one of the sharing cookie dough desserts which didn’t come with strawberries (despite this being listed on the menu). A small detail yes, but something that is required amongst the masses of chocolate. For well over £100, we didn’t think we got our monies worth on this occasion.

The actual place itself is nice inside and good location. The food was average, my husband had the chicken kebab and said it was lovely, I opted for the lamb kebab but it was very tough. The lady serving us was lovely, when we paid the bill at the end we paid cash and she came over and said I can’t give you any change because we don’t have any! It didn’t matter because it was only £3.50 but the fact we had paid service charge they need to make sure they have change , would try again because we are new to the area and maybe next time just don’t have lamb and pay by card!!!

Place recommend by a friend so we gave it a go. We were asked to pre order with 7 days in advance as we were a party of 17 people. Our food arrived 1 hour after we all sat down. 6 dishes arrived stone cold, 2 of them got sent back to the kitchen and the chef kindly reheated these in the microwave. That’s right. They didn’t bothered to remove the fresh parsley as garnish on the chicken katsu curry and heated that up too. The other 4 were hungry and didn’t want to send back their food to be reheated. We received 3 wrong dishes which were then sent back and the correct ones arrived when the rest of us almost finished their meals. We also received the only 2 starters we pre ordered but after the main course. Service was good although it was busy and not enough staff. We understand the place is busy during Xmas period but when you ask to pre book your food way in advance you would at least expect them to be well organised and the food served piping hot and on time. Overall a bad experience considering the price we paid and the fact that we had to pre order food only for it to be served cold or wrong. Won’t be going back.

Feel like they should have known which menu we had because we pre-ordered. They also didn't know what deposit had been paid when we got the bill and said one thing then phoned me on the way home to say it was a mistake and it was something different. Apart from that the service during the meal was great and we had a lovely time

I was disappointed with my Bang Bang Chicken Salad, the noodles were like rubber bands (not that I've ever eaten rubber bands), which spoilt the dish for me. Next time I will stick with Katsu Curry. I mentioned this to the waitress, but she seemed quite disinterested. On the plus side the affogato coffee mini dessert was spot on, The upstairs dining atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and I would come back again.

We had a wonderful visit to the Botanist and will definitely be returning. We were in Knutsford to take our Beagle, Copper, to Tatton Park and was looking for somewhere dog friendly to get some lunch after. We'd been to a different restaurant on the high street before but on Sundays they had very limited menus whereas The Botanist had a main menu running alongside their Sunday Lunch menu which gave a lot of choice and was a big plus for us. On arrival the staff were fabulous with our dog, giving him fusses and treats and we were really accommodating putting us out of the way. The drinks menu is really extensive, even the alcohol free selection which was a bonus. We had a Sunday roast and a hanging kebab and can recommend both, Copper also enjoyed the veggies! Highly recommended, for dog owners and non- dog owners alike

What a great team!!!!!!! the most attentive staff for a big (40+ attendees) dinner. We've never been looked after so well. The food was amazing too and all guests enjoyed their evening. Thank you team Botanist Knutsford, we will be back :-)

It was a very odd Sunday in knutsford botantist, the staff were preoccupied and told us there weren't things on the menu but couldn't remember what. Then they'd bring our food, it all came at different times and we asked for cutlery and it came about 10 minutes later too. All the tables had some sort of problem, food not arrived, no one taking orders... wasn't the happiest times

It was a fun bingo night with live music, food really nice as always, service slow as always. You need another server, the extra money you would get for drinks per table would be significant. I like the botanist but you need to sort out your service, you always seem short staffed and the waiters/waitresses work really hard.

Our server was fantastic after disappointing food, not much chicken on the hanging kebabs & the chips were disgusting, so hard & inedible. We were offered free desserts as an apology, this was much appreciated.

No cask ales (all 3 were off) and no food so didnt drink or eat. To be fair the kitchen had had a leak but why not update their Facebook page to warn people?

We visited the Wizard Tea Rooms while attending a corporate volunteering day at Alderley Edge National Trust Park, and what a treat the Tea Rooms were! From start to finish, my colleague and I had easy communication with the lovely ladies who run the tea rooms - Harriet and Rachel. They provided us with the menu and prices in advance of the day, and we decided to opt for teas and coffees in the morning, soup and sandwiches for lunch, and another round of teas of coffees after lunch for our group of 26. One week on and I'm still talking about the delicious mushroom and garlic soup, cheese and beetroot sandwiches, BLTs and egg mayo sandwiches! We felt everything was reasonably priced, and the ladies took great care of us on the day -nothing was too much trouble. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Wizard Tea Rooms to friends and family, or corporate companies. In fact, I will be back to visit with my kids and dog for an ice cream (yes they do doggy ice cream too!) Also - the venue itself is gorgeous - seating indoors (all 26 fit inside), but plenty outside too. Really charming old-world feel inside the tea room which we all loved. Many thanks to the wonderful staff for looking after us so well - Alison and James.
