About Four Seasons Terrace Cafe

Four Seasons Terrace Cafe sits inside Hayes Garden World in Ambleside, with a dining area upstairs from the main shop floor and a terrace overlooking the garden centre. Orders are placed at a till, with a queue at busy times, and portions run large. Dogs are welcome at designated tables, and a dog menu is available for them alongside the regular menu. The cafe is walk-in, with no reservations needed. A farm shop has been added inside the same building, and a large car park serves the site with plenty of spaces.

Customer Review Summary

Generous portions of breakfast and lunch dishes draw the most praise, with reviewers naming a tuna mayo jacket potato, a chargrilled chicken salad with cous cous, mac and cheese, and sandwiches. Friendly, welcoming staff come up repeatedly, along with the terrace views over the garden centre. Vegetarian options and a breakfast menu are also mentioned. Several visitors describe a busy room, with queues at the tills and a wait for a dog friendly table when only one person was serving. The sharpest criticism comes from returning customers who say the takeover by a chain has changed things. They describe a minimal, canteen like menu, a short choice of underwhelming cakes, an apple pie with rock hard apples, dry chips and a small scoop of ice cream, and some say the prices felt too high. One visitor who drove a long way left without staying. One reviewer who brought a dog found comfortable seats and a dog menu.

    “Super friendly staff. Very nice garden centre breakfast was delicious 😋 as wwaas the coffee ☕️. Restaurant staff welcoming from the start.. The supervisor was so lovely. Really lovely and. Clean. The decor was so nice and fresh too... so nice to sit outside and eat while looking at the stunning views. The whole shop was fabulous so much to look at and buy the choice of plants were amazing. And recently they have a farm shop to inside. This is a bit pricey. I liked the fact that they had a Hugh pet selection from treats to beds and. More. Was quite hot inside felt sorry for the staff having to wear those thick red polo t.shirts on such hot days...maybe owners could looking into changing this for thir staff on hot days... lots of carpark spaces to. Only one thing that was annoying was the toilets these are situated right at the back of the shop. None in Restaurant so if u need the loo b4 u eat be sure u go 1st as the restaurant dining area is upstairs!.”

    “Lovely restaurant to come into for some breakfast/brunch before browsing in the garden center, or some lunch/dinner after beinf in the garden centre. The menu has a wide choice of meals and the portion sizes are very generous. Vegetarian options are available both in the breakfast menu served until 11:30am, and in the lunch menu. It is also possible to book in for afternoon tea. Dogs are welcome on 5 tables inside the cafe which are clearly signed, and there is an outside terrace are which has a lovely lookout over the garden centre when the weather is nice. The staff are all incredibly attentive and polite and made my grandma and I feel very welcome whenever we go.”
