The Botanist is launching an under a tenner set-price lunchtime menu, hoping to help ease the cost of living crisis. The chain, with sites on Deansgate and Didsbury as well as in Alderley Edge, Knutsford and Chester, will unveil the new menu across all its UK restaurants.

It will feature a range of dishes costing £9.95, including variations on a number of their menu items, including a chicken katsu and noodle salad, a Philly cheese-steak sandwich, and fish and chips with mushy peas and tartare sauce.

It’s also offering its ‘hanging kebabs’ on the cheaper lunch menu, with flatbreads and hummus. The idea behind the menu is to ‘encourage people to continue socialising in restaurants and bars without worrying about spending too much money, whilst concerns around the cost-of-living crisis continue to grow’.

It comes as restaurants and hospitality businesses across the country face growing concerns over inflation, energy bills and rising costs of raw materials across the board.
