Raise a cocktail to National Gardening Week at the Botanist!

Celebrate the great British garden without having to get your hands dirty this National Gardening Week (10 - 16 April) with The Botanist.
 

Mark the occasion by selecting from the collection of botanical cocktail blends, made using fresh fruit and greenhouse herbs, served in a secret garden setting of greenery and foliage centred around the iconic nine metre tall sycamore tree.  
 

There’s also the option to escape the city centre and head up to the bar’s own backyard in the form of the roof terrace overlooking Grey’s Monument. Complete with garden sheds and picnic benches, as well as a full-service bar serving its much-loved cocktails, choose your blend and drink up with one of Newcastle’s best views. 
 

In addition, look out for garden-inspired dishes on the food menu such as garlic mushrooms served on a trowel and blooming deli boards featuring a salad pretty enough to give you allotment-envy!
