   Today my friend and I asked if we could have a coffee and food at the Botany bar. An extremely grumpy old guy at the bar was rather rude saying: "it's fathers day, we're fully booked" He did have a valid point but instead of being rude he could have apologised but offered uscoffee or drinks. His attitude and hospitality have completely ruined my previous good impressions of the Botany. Thanks to that rude man, I will never be back. He has lost customers for the Botany due to his rudeness. Original review: Lovely bright dining area with views out over greenery at the back. My friend and I just had a coffee and I had a cake with mine. They do a deal with a cake and coffee for £5. I liked the decor and the lovely green views. The menu looked tempting and I think I will come back to give it a go. Just had another lovely stint at the Botany, this time, my friend and I had our dogs and sat in the nice beer garden out the back. I was blown away by how dog friendly all the staff are. Our dogs got a fabulous treat, I tried to catch them eating it but it was so tasty they had finished by the time I took the photo!

   This is the second time we go. Today it was more of a Restaurant visit, and the Sunday Roast did not disappoint, the creme brulee was also very good. Impressed with the place, the staff, and the food is sublime. Will return very soon.

   What a lovely dining experience - we were running late due to traffic and called ahead - great reassuring response - all the dishes were top notch ( Cullen Skunk, Pakora and burgers ) - great hassle free service - we will return

   My local. Staff are friendly, food is great and only 5 mins from home. Lovely atmosphere on a winter evening with the log burner going and nice outdoor seating for when it is sunny. Cant complain!

   What a super find. Great selection of drinks inc plenty of Gins. Small but super menu selection (think Gordon R has been around). Shout out to Abbie running one tight ship! And to Kiran a top barman who is also a new Dad. Make sure to ‘put one behind’ to congratulate him. Gutted I missed the Englishman young Joe! He’s another one of the crew. Top bar. And top chefs. Ps photos were at 11pm on a Wednesday night. Place was busy as earlier.

   Great, trendy hip and relaxed modern European restaurant. Service was friendly and unfussy and food was really good. Really unexpected for the area but worth a visit. Nice for a few pints after work as well. Bit on the pricey side but worthwhile as standards are high

   The Strathmore is a classic pub that recently had a modern makeover. It has a large open pub space with tables and couches and also a separate back dining area. The food is pub grub with a bit of upscale touch (maybe a bit too pricey). It has a decent draft list and cocktail menu with a large list of gins. Although, the beer taps have a bit too much macro lager and not enough interesting craft beer for my taste. It has a small outdoor patio with nice views over a large yard. Sunday lunch was tasty, although the roast was a bit overcooked and somewhat under seasoned. Overall, a solid local addition.
