  “Went for Sunday lunch. Ok roast dinner, turkey was delicious. Good selection on the menu although they'd run out of coffee and walnut cake and the vegetarian, Moroccan stew. Friendly staff. Wasn't impressed by the loud, scrapping of furniture across the floor next to us while we were trying to have a conversation.”

  “Popped in for breakfast after a stroll around South Cerney lake with the dog. Staff were very attentive and friendly when showing us to a table. Placed our order and it was at our table in a few minutes. Good choice and excellent value.”

  “Staff were very good and the food was nice. Layout of the restaurant vs the coffee shop is a bit confusing with pot plants blocking walkways etc. All in a good experience and felt we could enjoy our lunch without any stress.”

  “A very disappointing experience. It was the end of lunchtime and it seemed like the staff couldn’t be bothered anymore. The food was poor: a toastie swimming in melted cheese, lukewarm chips that had clearly been sitting around for hours, a chicken breast dumped in a bun with fatty bacon, a boring salad with no dressing. We had to get our own cutlery and seek out someone to pay. We gave this negative feedback and the staff member was apologetic and said she would report it. She didn’t look very surprised! I won’t be going back and will stick to the cafe for coffee and cake in future.”

  “My original, extensive review has disappeared so here's a VERY concise review. Clean throughout. Spacious. Food average and pricey. Staff hit and miss. Very well stocked. Great location to arrange meetings.”

  “We went in at first and had a coffee and the most delicious vanilla slice. Both were very good,the slice was one of the best I've tasted. Mind you for the price it was it should've been. After walking around the garden centre and indoors for a bit longer we decided to have Sunday lunch. It was a good decision. They gave you a lot of meat and veg,was a nice sized plate. And at £15 a head it was well worth it. It was really tasty,the Yorkshire pudding was huge. It was such a tasty meal. Definitely better value than the cream slice. The staff are really friendly. One good thing they ask you before you order is if you have any allergies. Was very impressed that they did this. It shows they're on their A game. Well worth the visit.”

  “Very nice cafe if a little long (10 mins approx) to get served. High quality cakes and coffee. Large, high quality selection of plants, flowers, trees, seeds and bulbs and small starter plugs such as geraniums. Play area for kids. Kids toys etc. Nice day out.”

  “On our visit to the Dobbies Garden Centre which now has a Lakeland shop,Hotter shoe shop,Sainsbury’s with a Butchers & Delicatessen &. Aquatic centre,we popped into the restaurant for a drink and a bite to eat,I had the Angus beef burger with French fries & coleslaw the Mrs had her usual toasted tea cake with strawberry jam all washed down with a lovely cup of tea....It was quite busy had to wait a while to get served but it was well worth it.....So if you are visiting a can recommend this restaurant for your refreshments....👍”
