Good evening ๐ ladies and gentlemen happy Sunday to you all today we had a trip to the garden society which is local to us lovely food friendly service freshly made great value and atmosphere there Christmas โ๐ shop is now open which is well worth a visit plenty of parking ๐
ฟ๏ธ and disabled too hope you enjoy your visit too.
Great food, really nicely laid out and lovely sitting eating food with birds singing next to you! Only thing that let it down slightly was the lack of customer engagement from the older staff. The younger ones were happy, chatty and engaging. The older ones who we were served by at the cafe and till were just plain miserable. Shame really.
Beautiful place with delicious all-day breakfast and brunch. I personally felt that the ingredients were really fresh, especially the beef patty which weren't greasy at all.
Taking a look at the garden shop outside was a great experience as well. I loved the layout of each flower and plant; very pleasing to the eyes and to navigate.
I would recommend visiting via car as there were no pedestrian access i.e. no footpath on the main street leading to this location when I followed Google Maps.
Food was nice, staff are friendly. Few issues with the card machine when we visited which was slightly inconvenient. Food was served quickly after ordering.
Wow, what a fantastic breakfast! A really lovely place to visit with a great selection of food and drink.
Additionally, the garden centre side of it stocked high end, great quality products. From clothing to chess sets!
Definitely worth a visit.
We will be making this our regular spot to visit.
Family and dog friendly too.
We went for the coronation afternoon tea, our first time going to this place, and the staff were friendly. My partner is gluten-free and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the food and she said it tasted good (as did mine).
The only thing we had was timing, everyone was waiting for food and we didn't get our hot drinks until we had eaten two-thirds of the food.
Otherwise would happily go back again, food was good and we might have just been unlucky!
I really love coming to this garden centre for coffee with friends and a peruse around the shop. They have some lovely glass vases, and pottery for unique gifts, a small jewellery outlet in store some beautiful pieces for around the home and some excellent plants and water features.
The shop itself is split from the cafe by a small bird aviary to watch while having a hot drink. The cafe itself is really nicely decorated and has a lovely ambience. There are plenty of tables inside and a few outside for when the weather is warm. They serve delicious cakes, a small but tasty hot food menu and teas including fruit teas and coffee with a choice of syrups, for an extra treat.
My first time at this garden centre. I was really impressed. A huge variety of goods for sale. We stopped for lunch and although the menu offered steak and kidney pudding it was not available which was a disappointment. The meals and drinks we ordered were delivered as fast as lighting โจ. I cannot remember such fast service anywhere else I have visited. Everything was first class and I enjoyed watching the wee birds in the aviary on the back wall.
Went for a baby shower today at the Potting Shed in the Secret Garden. We had fantastic service from the lady with short black hair. Beautiful venue, delicious food. The lady came in and out stealthily, so as not to disturb us but making sure we always had anything we needed. Only issue was wasps but thatโs not really their fault, they did have fly swatter things which one of the wasps used as a fairground ride. ๐ Would definitely return!
Festive Afternoon Tea at the restaurant was super. Food and drinks were great. Was lovely touch bringing out some sausages for the pooch too. Staff were welcoming. It was busy inside, but the venue was small. We're now planning our next visit back and perhaps indulging in the Winter Garden afternoon tea next time. Nipped into the shop afterwards and yes loads of Christmas decs to choose from but we were pleased to pick up some unique Copenhagen tableware.
Stunning place for breakfast or coffee. Beautiful shop although the prices were high
Dropped in by chance on Bank Holiday Monday and plenty of tables. Good size portions and a few Vegan options. Very tasty freshly prepared brunches. Nice surroundings inside and put. Recommended.
Great food always. Service was a big chaotic which we understand was down to some training in the kitchen. My personal preference is for food to be served on plates, but, it was excellently presented and tasted great to. While we were waiting, we were envious of all the other food that came out, especially the breakfasts.
I love this place! Yummy restaurant, gorgeous plants and very very tasteful housewares
Brunch was fantastic, the food is delicious, the garden centre is dangerous on the old wallet! The range of plants is astonishing!
