The Botanist Alderley Edge

Wifes Birthday treat. Staff were pleasant, service was slow they did recognise this by not charging for the wine. Shame as went to Alderley Edge as a day out

Attended a birthday celebration meal and the Live singer was terrible. So loud you couldn't hear the person sitting next to you speaking and the singers voice sounded like a cat being drowned. Very poor as the food was decent but the singer was atrocious and ruined our evening.

Food and service first class.

Great decor, menu was limited but seems like the speciality was the hanging Kebab was prominent on the menu.

Very polite and friendly staff making you welcome on entry. Service was good and the food excellent. Very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. A great place to dine.

We have been many times before and as my youngest son later commented this was by far the worst experience we have had here. We were a party of 7 celebrating my wife's birthday (later grudgingly acknowledged with a complimentary glass of wine). In no particular order - rude, unsmiling, disinterested waitress (the manageress said she was one of their top performers!). Indifferent food quality - £31.50 for a shared mixed hanging kebab with cold prawns (we didn't risk sending them back to be re-heated, or worse....) and bullet like lamb koftas. Food, cutlery, serviettes carelessly dispatched on the table (iphones are expensive you know!) a card machine thrust into my face with me having to extract a please before I paid, and oh yes, a 10% service charge automatically added to the bill (we were too beaten to argue the toss by that stage). We were offered 20% off our next visit, but why would we want to go again? Let's face it, there are other places in Alderley Edge.
