  “The staff: incredible friendly and helpful with a smiley on their faces! Sorry to say, but the food is now a little bit pricey for what offers. But you go there for the atmosphere and for a chat, not for the food. Recomand it!”

  “Had a lovely Sunday breakfast followed by a Fairy Nuff walking trail. Food quality and portion size okay, wished the pancakes were freshly made but they were out of packet, tasted fine though. Coffee on the thin side.”

  “Lovely place for brunch with the usual baked items & cheesecake slices. My hot breakfast was good, but the scrambled eggs a wee bit overdone for my liking. Gluten free toast available. The tea was hot & a generous serving. A great place for people to meet & gather, we were not rushed on at all & the staff very friendly. Highly recommended. Toilets available.”

  “Wow what an amazing cafe/restaurant. One of the best toasted sandwiches I have had for a long time! Served with salad. Offer a large selection of teas and coffee. And the cake selection well just check them out the caramel cheesecake was heavenly ! Thoroughly recommend!”

  “Went for Afternoon Tea, a belated birthday present. Had to queue to be seated, but it was very busy, however a table had been reserved for us. Food quickly arrived and looked delicious. Only down side was only filter coffee and breakfast tea included, I usually have decaffeinated drinks. Maybe they should look at that or allow you to pay extra. It was very busy, so noisy and we struggled to get more coffee for my husband. Maybe they should give you a small pot. For the price it was very enjoyable and would definitely return.”

  “The courgette and avocado cake was delicious!!! The cafe was clean, friendly staff, a good menu with lots of cakes and food. Good quality food and value for money. You can also buy £10 gift vouchers for the cafe, these can be used to buy any food or drink item.”

  “Have popped by a few times now. Plenty of parking and when it gets busy, there is an over flow car park too. Toilets are available if needed. The garden centre is large and has a lot to offer. Even has a lovely walk around the back. Or you can just sit by the lake and enjoy a cup of tea and maybe a meal. The cafe is a lovely place. Ladies are always helpful and polite. Food is nice enough and not over priced. Yet if your a vegetarian, you'll have very limited choices. But a nice slice of cake usually helps me through such limitations. There is something for everyone though. If your in the area, pop by and enjoy.”

  “Friendly and helpful staff look after you well at this wonderful garden centre cafe, whether you sit outside by the lake with the ducks or inside in the comfy booths. Cakes are great and the coffee and tea give you a lot of choice. Fairly standard lunch menu is a good quality and all at a fair price. Wonderful place to take an older parent or a young child. Why not walk round the lake and meet the fairies before feeding the ducks.”
