Restaurant and bar launches in York

BAR and restaurant brand The Botanist has officially opened in Stonegate in York bringing 60 jobs to the city.

Owned by New World Trading Company, The Botanist has moved into a 5,000 sq ft site, its 11th location to date.

With 100 covers, it is smaller than its Sheffield counterpart, which opened in June at a 10,000 sq ft grade II-listed site in the city.

The Botanist also has sites in Manchester, Chester, Alderley Edge, Birmingham, Leeds, Newcastle, Marlow, Farnham, Knutsford and Sheffield.

General manager Ciara McAppleton McDaid said: “After lots of hard work over the past few months it was a very proud moment to officially open the doors in York this morning. The opening follows The Botanist Sheffield launch last month which has already been a huge hit so far with some really positive feedback, and so I hope York is just as successful.”

The York site will be open from 10am – 12am.
