The Botanist Trinity

The food menu focuses on barbeque and rotisserie-style dishes, with options like sausage and mash, cheese and onion pie, Thai green curry, and a rustic deli-style menu with shareable starters.

Signature dishes are the hanging kebabs, available with different proteins and vegetables. These kebabs are served with chips and a chilli, ginger and garlic butter sauce. The Botanist also offers a Sunday roast with classic proteins like beef, lamb, pork belly and chicken.

Vegetarian options are available, like the veggie kebab and deli board.

Allergy information can be accessed via QR codes on the tables.

The Botanist offers an intriguing array of botanically infused cocktails, crafted by resident mixologists. The drink menu features martinis, mojitos, Manhattans and other classic cocktails, each with a unique herbal twist.

Signature options like the Red Pepper and Porcini Manhattan and the Fennel Floridian showcase the establishment’s knack for experimentation. You can also build their own botanical drink by selecting from the array of infused spirits, wines and liquors.

For beer lovers, there’s a selection of bottled brews plus four cask ales on tap.

Non-alcoholic ‘mocktails’ are a good choice for those wanting something nice to sip.

The Botanist offers a relaxed and unique atmosphere, with rustic, shabby chic décor reminiscent of a Victorian greenhouse or potting shed. Hanging plants, wooden shelves, and antique gardening tools adorn the walls and ceiling.

Tables and chairs have a homemade, mismatched style, adding to the jumbled aesthetic. Lighting is provided by unusual fixtures such as sifting pans and traditional oil lamps lining the bar. Patrons can enjoy their botanically-inspired cocktails under this warm, welcoming glow.

An outdoor dining area lined with patio heaters allows guests to appreciate the secret garden vibe, no matter the weather.

The Botanist hosts a lively musical bingo night. And regular live music acoustic sets are scheduled for the weekends.

The Botanist is located in the basement of the Trinity shopping centre on Boar Lane in central Leeds. The Trinity Church is next door.

It is easily accessible by public transport, located in the heart of the city centre close to the train station and with bus routes on the doorstep.

There is a platform lift into the main entrance of the restaurant. If you need support working this – it can be temperamental! – you can request assistance from a member of staff.
