The Botanist

This was our first visit to The Botanist, accessed through Leopold Square in the centre of Sheffield. A pretty, plant-themed pub and restaurant in an old school building. We loved the panelled walls and high ceilings. There was even a small glass house and a pagoda seating area, though both were only accessible via steps. The rest of the restaurant was level. Lift access To the restaurant itself, which is upstairs, was more straightforward for me than it was for my family using the stairs, I’m guessing - because they got lost! I booked online, and made it clear I would need a wheelchair friendly table, but also requested somewhere tucked away for the sake of my son, who has been feeling easily overwhelmed recently. They did indeed give us a table tucked in a corner, though my wheels wouldn’t fit all the way under it. Hey ho. I was close enough.
