Finally What You All Have Been Waiting For...

The Botanist, Alderley Edge opened Tuesday 2nd October.

We set out to produce an interior offer not catered for in the village of Alderley Edge and lay to lie the ghost of the old No15.

Everything you can see and touch is bespoke, all the timber is hand picked from reclaimed timber yards, the metal work has been designed and produced specifically for the project. All the light fittings are unique and carefully designed emulating a botanical twist.
Even the tables and chairs are all refurbished and individually commissioned for the project.
An intimate feel has been created with props and stunning hand crafted botany cabinets which are filled with interesting antique props from a bygone era. You can see old botany books, original testing equipment and watering cans, it’s almost educational!

The Botanist can be described as proper pub with a twist and a pinch of humour.

The Botonist Spectacular Lighting



Today on site the first lighting circuit was switched on....and it looked great!!
Below shows the feature chandelier which hangs in the main bar area. It is made from an ancient waggon wheel, spruced up with some blingey glass items to give it Alderley Edge approval.


 
For the main restaurant area we chose to have illuminated ceiling coffers....
 

And for the amazing conservatory area/old granddad’s shed we had to create something very interesting....
