"We visited the gardens yesterday and decided to have a much needed lunch at the Edulis restaurant. The restaurant itself is pleasantly presented and in a lovely setting. However after sitting down we noticed the crockery and glasses were marked/dirty and perhaps we should have taken this as a hint of what was to come. Three of us ordered the soup and the other a sandwich which came with wedges. After ordering, paying and sitting down, a good 5 mins or so later we were subsequently told that actually there was no soup available and they shouldn’t have processed our order. We ordered sandwiches instead and weren’t charged for the small extra cost. Our sandwiches arrived minus the advertised wedges. The waiter said nothing and was about to walk away when we queried the absence of the wedges. He responded that there were none available and they had been substituted with crisps. A few measly crisps and a rather bland cheese and tomato sandwich I have to say. We vowed not to return, but just when we thought it couldn’t get any worse a large tray of potatoes was brought in from the kitchen and one of the servers proceeded to start chopping them up in front of us presumably to make wedges!! The toilets were smelly and not very pleasant and we noticed the glazing in the lobby areas was absolutely filthy. A very disappointing experience that we will not be repeating. Such a shame as this could be a lovely restaurant if someone actually bothered to care and respect their customers. Instead it appears to be a complete shambles where custom is taken for granted as they effectively have a captive audience. Next time we’ll be taking our own sandwiches and finding a nice place to sit in the gardens. I’m local so will be spreading the word. Simply not good enough!!!"

Still waiting: we sat down to eat almost one hour ago. Lunch time this is not a restaurant it’s a cafe but not a very good one!

We had a super Sunday lunch here after strolling through the botanical gardens. the chef Michael Jackson (yes, really! cooked a delicious roast beef for my husband did a special sea bass for me. Very attentive service from friendly staff really good wine by the glass in pleasant surroundings, with the sun streaming into the restaurant.

Went here on Sunday 16th Feb for an afternoon tea 70th birthday celebration. (Private function). The tables were beautifully decorated ready for our arrival. We were greeted by the head chef and his staff, and directed to our tables. We had tea and coffee while the sandwiches and other bits were laid out on separate tables. There were a selection of sandwiches, crisps, salad, tomatoes and other bits to start, along with continuous tea and coffee. Then we had a short break of about ten minutes whilst the left overs and tables were cleared away ready for round two (the cakes). The cakes were laid out, there were large sultana scones, plain scones, lemon drizzle cake, chocolate brownies, cream...

Having had such a wonderful visit to the Botanical Gardens we had high hopes for this restaurant. It was light and airy with nice decor and we were looking forward to eating there. The first thing we noticed when we sat down were the dirty glasses and cutlery on the table so this did not bode well. There were four of us in our party and three of us ordered the soup which was on the specials board. However, after taking our payment and a short while later we were told that there was no soup. So we ordered sandwiches which the menu stated included a side of potato wedges and a salad but when the sandwiches arrived there were no wedges, just a handful of potato crisps. When we asked the server...

A group of locals who meet regularly decided to visit Edulis for lunch. Two of us had previously enjoyed a lunch there and recommended,not least because three of our group are vegan.I have always loved the venue of the Botanic gardens and am a “ friend” of the garden. There is an upstairs cafe with extended balcony and a downstairs restaurant with outside and inside seating. The setting by the large fish pond is very attractive with wooden seating . Inside the light and airy restaurant has varied seating arrangements, some raised.Service was speedy and helpful. Unfortunately I had cause to complain but my complaint was dealt with in a professional manner .Well done to the waiting staff!The r...

We booked Edulis for dinner on Friday evening. We were really looking forward to having a meal in the beautiful botanical gardens at weekends there is meant to be live music as well. Sadly, this did not turn out as expected. No live music not the fault of Edulis apparently the musician didn't turn up . The menu is very limited only 2 starters and 4 main courses to choose from. No dessert menu. The very young service team were keen and enthusiastic but spent most of their time papering over the cracks. A warm bottle of white wine was presented to us and only fixed using literally every once cube in the building upon this being pointed out why was the white wine not chilled? but the generally...
