Consistently great. We love coming here! The food is always amazing and good value for money. We’ve never had any issues. The cakes are amazing too! Our boys love the meat pie ☺️
The ladies are so friendly and welcoming and you can see how hard they work ☺️ Highly recommend!

The garden centre looks great but we had Sunday lunch at the olive tree restaurant. Their food is normally first class, but today's wasn't. The roast potatoes tasted like they'd been reheated and we're just warm and not nice, same with the Yorkshire pudding and stuffing. The meat was excellent as was the vegetables, although they were tepid too. We did mention this when paying and received a discount. I'm hoping it was just because they were very busy.

Roast dinner for £16-17 - one of the worst roast dinners I think I've had. I came here on recommendation and had heard good things, so I was really disappointed. Potatoes were dry and clearly microwaved, mash wasn't great, the meat was ok but not good enough to justify the rest of the meal. Small portion, low quality food for a relatively expensive price, for example my local garden centre has similar quality food for slightly less in terms of price and you can fill your plate with everything except meat and Yorkshire puddings. The only reason it's 2 stars instead of 1 star is because the kids meals were ok, decent portion size and the chips were nice enough. It's rare I'll write a review so it's testiment for how bad it was. I begrudgingly cleared my plate but it was more because I had spent the best part of £50 rather than enjoying the food, definitely won't go back or recommend it to anyone.

We visit every few months with an elderly relative. The staff are consistently fantastic and welcoming, the food is always hot and fresh and it's a great experience. The fish and chips (large) is always huge and delicious, fresh, flaky fish. Other people with me had curry, lasagna and the brie, bacon and cranberry ciabatta which they all said were delicious.

You can have a browse around the well stocked garden centre as well, the prices seem to be relatively competitive and they have a good range of stuff!

Thought this place was a really nice Garden Centre,we had drove up from the midlands in atrocious weather and we were looking for somewhere to eat,we had a very nice snack in your very nice restaurant which was pretty busy at the time, but we got served very quickly by excellent staff.
We love looking around garden centres,yours was very well stocked, with quality stock,liked your indoor plant section, nothing still in sleeves which is a big plus,all well watered and not a bad leaf anywhere a credit to you,all in all really good visit.We shall be back.
Great Christmas display.🤗

Had a Sunday Lunch. Thought the mash might not be fresh potato’s two mini roast potato. Wouldn’t go for Sunday roast again.
Didn’t think it was value for money
Staff were pleasant. Cafe/toilets clean. Might do a midweek sometime

Good Afternoon
I visited your coffee shop today with my husband for a light lunch
We placed our order with the waitress.
I was having a warm sausage roll and a date slice my husband ordered a warm sausage roll and a scone
Our sweet order arrived first followed by my husbands sausage roll then our coffee's
But no sign of my sausage roll I noticed the date slice didn't look particularly appealing and sliced a tiny bit off to try while waiting for the rest of our order to arrive
The date slice crumbled and on trying it it was clearly stale to the point of being inedible . We caught someone's attention and said we were waiting for our second sausage roll , they said they would attend to it , I also told thus waitress that the date slice was very stale and she confirmed it didn't look nice and that it should have been removed from sale as past sell by date?
The waitress that originally took out order then came over and yelled at me that I hadn't ordered a sausage roll , I stated that I had and my husband confirmed that I had she still argued and insisted I had not .
She then offered to get me a sausage roll but as my husband had almost finished his by then and after being yelled at and technically called a liar I chose to just stick with my coffee
A little will later someone else came over I can only assume the cook as she had food stained pinny on came to apologies for the date slice and tell me the rest of the stock of them had been removed , I said it was very stale this person then argued that it wasn't stale just crumbly
My husband then went on to pay for his items and our coffee's and again staff argued the point of ordering and the condition of the date slice .
I left hungry and quite appalled by the service I received
We both feel the customer service aspect of today was nothing short of terrible
And will not be returning to your store and coffee shop.

Lovely little garden centre with lots of bedding plants, bushes, shrubs & various trees to suit all budgets. Also have lots of homeware products too. It has a great cafe too where you can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee or perhaps something stronger & if you feel like a spot of lunch the food is excellent. The cake selection is out of this world, it’s definitely worth a visit just for their cakes & all food & bakes are cooked on the premises. Would highly recommend a visit!
