"Was disappointed with the brunch, refills were slow for the drinks. I had booked in advance and specified this was for my birthday celebrations and for 9 people, the table and area I was given was poor compared to every other table/ group, we had two uneven tables joined together. Made it hard to communicate with each-other as it seemed like we were on 2 separate tables. With the food even though I wrote in the notes when pre-ordering about how we wanted the steaks cooked the lady still came over and asked how we wanted the steaks cooked, when I said to her I had written it in the comments she said she hadn’t checked the comments so took it again from me. I said I wanted my steak medium rare and I was served a medium- well done chewy steak and had to send it back and wait for the correct cooked steak whilst everyone else was eating! A few of my friends went for the chicken, all of them complained about how dry and tasteless it was, very disappointing especially having to pay £60. I had paid a deposit on the booking of £160 yet the staff still presented me with a full bill without deducting the deposit amount from the total bill and stuck a whooping £67.50 service charge. So I had to go up and get it rectified. They clearly had not clicked on my name when processing the bill because had they have done this it would not have happened. I saw the man click on my name and it said on there that I had paid £160. For a £60 bottomless brunch I expect better food and more drinks. I go to brunches often and have had better food and much more drinks and paid much less. This did not feel like birthday celebrations and quite frankly I was disappointed with it. Why have a comment section if no one bothers to read it? Botanist you need to do better!"

"our last group visited this year, and the chef and andy and his team have looked after us exceptionally well, and we promised that we would return. we wish we hadn't booked on andys day. first our server has managed our needs very well with pre-lunch drinks, but then everything fell apart when our group of 10 was shown on our table. it was 20 minutes for our wein and half an hour for our easy lunch order to deliver to our table and what a disappointment it was. two main courses 18 were miniskule. a tomatensalat consisted of 3 discs with a dressing, and the mushroom dish was similar size and eaten in three mouthfuls. all the other courses were in many respects inadequate from size or instruction. commentary about the table were very negatiw, and there was a comment that we should ask the nearby chippy if they would deliver! complain about the size of the portions (that we have erroneous starter sections, were made to our server that introduced someone we had assumed was his manager (beard/pongtail) who did not seem excessively affected. he could only comment on the finest local ingredients and did not seem inclined, or have the autority to adjust the bill of main to starter price for the chosen courses. instead of following the point, we have made our dissatisfaction known and paid and abandoned. as a group we meet for lunch two months and our expenses annually are 2,5k with much more spent on family and friends. it will be spent elsewhere"
