The Botanist Barnsley

Absolutely loved this place! Cozy atmosphere with a botanical twist — both the open-air terrace and stylish indoor space are perfect. Great for big groups or intimate catch-ups. We enjoyed a relaxing tea break here: one strong black tea and one with milk, just the way we like it. Peaceful vibes, friendly staff, and a beautiful interior make it one of the best spots in Barnsley. Can’t wait to come back!

It was me and my partners first visit yesterday. Upon our arrival we couldn't find a staff member to be seated so we walked around looking for one. There was no wait at all to be seated even though it was a busy Saturday. We liked the atmosphere and the decor and the added little touch of popcorn to snack on whilst we waited for food. The lady who took our orders was a bit ditzy and forgot that we ordered drinks and asked us again 5 mins later, she then took our food order. The wait for food wasn't that bad. Both meals looked good. I had the ultimate chicken burger and my partner ordered sausage and mash. Mine was toppling over on to it's side with how much was in it, I had to take it apart to eat it, not really what you should do with a burger. It was dripping with oil and the bacon was overcooked and rock solid which made it difficult to eat. It tasted ok but not amazing. The fries that came with my burger were bland and unseasoned and not at all appealing. My partner says that his meal wasn't amazing either, there were some hard bits in it which he thinks was burnt onions. Which put him off. I thought it looked good but he said he wasn't impressed he says it looked like it was pre-prepared and warmed up. Not really the quality of food I'd expect for £20 per meal. Unfortunately we won't be returning.

Really nice experience, great value for money. Staff were so nice. Meats were really tasty. Good selection for the buffet/sides. Nice wine menu. Cute flower wall beside the bar when you walk in
