Drinking and dining favourite The Botanist has announced plans for a new bar and restaurant in Sunderland.
National operator New World Trading Company has confirmed it is bringing the brand – already a hugely popular fixture in Newcastle – to the city, complete with its famed botanical interiors, quirky cocktails, signature hanging kebabs and live music. The Botanist is set to open in a unit beneath Sunderland’s new Holiday Inn, which is taking shape on Keel Square.
One of four retail and leisure spaces at street-level beneath the hotel, the move will create around 60 new jobs, as well as delivering a stylish new venue for residents and visitors to enjoy. New World Trading Company, which has 34 venues across the UK including in York, Manchester and Chester, said the move to Wearside was one it was sure would be a big success.
