About this space

The Botanist, Bath is a gastropub-style restaurant defined by a botanical theme and richly detailed period interiors that span multiple levels.

Design: The interior combines classical columns and an encircling mezzanine with patterned tiled floors, brass pendant lights and a mix of banquette and freestanding seating for a formal-yet-relaxed dining room.

Features: The venue includes a staffed central bar serving botanical cocktails and an in-house kitchen service. A PA system and speakers are installed, and hosts may supply their own music or bring a DJ. An upper gallery and several seating zones allow the floorplan to be arranged for separate groups, and accessibility features cover Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, a step-free guest entrance and accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Groups and teams seeking a relaxed, dining-focused hire or a sociable, bar-centred reception across multiple levels.

What sets it apart: A mature indoor tree rises through the venue's central bar beneath a glazed ceiling, creating a singular architectural focal point.

What guests say: The venue provides friendly, professional service and fresh, well-executed food. The dining rooms are welcoming and accommodate dogs near the bar area.
