There was a notice saying aplogising stating they were understaffed so a full menu may not be available.
But all the staff were clearly working extremely hard and were attentive. You wouldn't have known.
Very busy and there was a small wait to be seated.
You could have a light bite or lunch.
We opted for lunch.
Our meals were very reasonably priced and perfectly acceptable.
However, sadly my friend didn't enjoy her main at all (pesto, quinoa salad) and she isn't a fussy eater at all and felt something tasted odd.
Normally I would have mentioned it but the staff were working so hard and were so kind, I didn't have the heart.
I do feel that £2.30 for a small bottle of water is unreasonable; which my friend had.
I opted for tap water.
Good traditional cafe/restaurant with a very big garden centre attached! Quite attractive large inside seating area and reasonable outside terrace overlooking the garden displays.
Good menu with plenty of gluten-free and vegy options.
Great food and very helpful staff.
Lovely hot chocolate and latte.
Inside the Whitehall garden centre 😀
Had a fantastic meal with family, so there was six of us. They actually use real tea cups and tea leaves!. Staff were very attentive. Food was absolutely brilliant. It was obvious the had a fantastic chef. Wonderful deserts. The place was spotless. Will be going again.
Lovely place to sit and watch the world go by ..... Good food and charming staff, all within a great garden centre......My only comment is that they do not serve real chips and these tiny little twigs that end up being cold and mushy.....and please make the full English breakfast and all day item rather than finishing at 11 am
Lovely Cafe, the food and Service are both amazing. Hubby and I enjoy popping in for breakfast as a treat. I just love their Eggs Benedict, definitely the best I have ever had! And the Cakes.. 😲 💕
Great coffee shop, bright and airy, with easy access. Relaxed outside seating on the terrace with parasols to keep you cool. Excellent choice of lunches, desserts and cakes. The staff are lovely and keep everything immaculately clean. It's not the cheapest place to eat but it's good value for the quality on offer.
Fabulous coffee and cake today. The lime, lemon and orange cake was absolutely delicious, my friend had the Bakewell tart which was fab.
After a good look arround always have a snack and cup of tea..its has nice selection on the menu,this time I had the Beef Burger and sweet potato chips with salad washed down with a nice cup of tea.It was very busy being near the end of November with all the Xmas displays going on so we had a bit of a wait for our food but it was worth it in the end very tasty.....👍
After a walk around the yet again amazing Christmas display everytime . We made for the restaurant for what was supposed to have been a light lunch or a cup of English tea we settled for soup carrot cake and a burger. The food was amazing even in the busy Christmas rush. The staff was amazing, service was outstanding.
Lovely tea room, the staff were ran off ther feet and work really hard. We had to wait 30 minutes, but the staff and food were lovely
Stopped here for a cappuccino and a cheese scone and were very good,after had a look around
This is a nice place to have a good tea or coffee and food. The prices are just a little higher than usual but it's quiet quality and spaced apart tables, the service and the helpful staff justify this. The only criticism I have is that the menue has changed and smaller"eats" like a simple bacon sandwich - which they used to serve - are no longer available and they were very good. That apart, good food well served in pleasant surroundings. Worth a visit. Disabled friendly . Somewhat cheaper cafeteria available. Outside play area where a packed lunch or snack can be enjoyed . Free car park and great garden centre. Can get busy when the schools are on holiday and when the weather is good. Christmas decoration displays are stunning.
Absolutely love their smoked salmon and anchovy Caesar Salad, but find the croutons a bit hard going after a while ... though saying this, it's not a problem just to leave them to one side ... it doesn't deflect from the dish itself.
Their Charlotte May Rose wine is extremely good, especially with the above meal.
Finishing off with a latte and a decent slice of coffee and walnut cake and you leave feeling suitably satiated!
Very busy lunchtime. Service was excellent, food good 👍
Took mum inlaw out for cream tea. Which was nice
