About this space

The Botanist Exeter is a restaurant venue defined by a botanical-themed interior that combines dining booths and bar areas under a single, social layout.

Design: The interior pairs dark timber floors and leather banquettes with large-scale botanical murals and suspended foliage. The arrangement of booths, freestanding tables and exposed beams creates a layered, informal dining room punctuated by pendant lighting.

Features: A full-length bar and an open dancefloor provide service and entertainment areas. A PA system and speakers are available, and hosts may provide their own DJ or music subject to the venue's noise restrictions. The venue also provides air conditioning, Wi‑Fi, step-free guest access and accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a relaxed, social evening or an informal seated meal in a plant-led, casual dining environment.
