The Botanist in Leeds have introduced a new budget friendly menu with all items priced below £10, with the aim to encourage socialising during the cost-of-living crisis.
The menu comes during rising concerns surrounding the ongoing cost of living crisis across the UK which sees the price of everyday essentials like energy bills and groceries rising faster than average household incomes.
The Botanist’s new fixed-price lunch menu is aimed at encouraging people to continue to socialise in restaurants and bars without worrying about spending too much money.
The menu will consist of warming, comfort-food dishes as well as signature Botanist dishes all priced at £9.95 each.
Diners can expect lovingly crafted dishes made from scratch upon order by the talented in-house chefs, think home-cooked comfort food classics but reimagined with a modern, innovative twist.
Dishes include a Philly steak sandwich with peppers, onion, melted cheese and onions served with lashings of peppercorn sauce, the British staple of fish and chips with mushy peas and tartar sauce, and a lighter dish consisting of crispy panko chicken served with Katsu sauce and noodle salad.
The Botanist’s famous hanging kebabs will also feature on the menu, guests can opt for Chicken, Lamb Kofta, or Vegan Meatball, all served on a board with a grilled flatbread, hummus and salad with a sauce of your choice on the side.
If you can’t decide what to choose then do not fear, go for the lunch board and select three of your favourite small plates which include salt and pepper chicken, super green hummus and tater tot poutine.
Everything on the menu will cost you less than a tenner and fries can be added for an extra £2.95.
The menu is available Monday to Friday from 12pm to 4pm.
James Scott, Executive Chef at The Botanist said, “People see our venues as their sanctuary, and we want them to feel they still have somewhere to come for respite, to forget about their day-to-day worries for a few hours, especially during this extremely tough time.
“Our new lunch menu offers the same home-cooked comfort food that diners have come to know and love when visiting our restaurants, at a fraction of the cost of our main menu items – giving them value for money but the same fresh, quality, seasonal ingredients.”
