What diners say

No diner ratings yet.

Ratings are diners’ own experience. They don’t make a dish safe; neither do we.

Where this comes from

Allergen answers come from the menu’s labels first, then the listed ingredients, then a model’s judgement checked when unsure. How allergen status is decided.

Questions about The Botanist

Does The Botanist have gluten-free options?

Yes: 16 dishes are gluten free as served, and 6 more can be made gluten free on request, from the menu read 9 Nov 2026. Each dish shows whether the venue labelled it or it was read from the ingredients.

Is The Botanist coeliac friendly?

The venue notes: “The menu says it contains allergens and is prepared in a kitchen that handles nuts, shellfish and gluten; the venue cannot guarantee food…”. Eatcrush reads each venue’s own menu and says where every answer came from. It never calls a dish safe: kitchens share fryers, boards and flour, and menus change. If you have coeliac disease or an allergy, confirm with staff before you order.

What can be made gluten free at The Botanist?

Lima Bean & Saffron Dip (GF option available); Burrata with Sundried Tomato XO (GF option available); Blue Mackerel (GF option available); Grilled Half Shell Scallop (GF option available); Angus Flat Iron Steak (400gm) (GF option available); Broccolini (GF option available).
