Applejacks in Cambridge

Excellent garden centre. Suitable for taking children as they have their own play area. Restaurant serves delicious meals

Friendly and helpful staff help this garden centre to be my go-to place for getting just what you're after. Had been bought some small bay trees and some pots, so just needed some compost. A quick Google to the RHS site had me looking for some John Innes no.2. The good signage got me to the right place. There was a massive choice and a pallet full, plenty of stock whatever you wanted. Lots of trolleys to hand got us through in no time. Glad to report that the once pot holed car park has been fixed so getting back to your car without getting wet feet is now possible!

This is a fantastic garden centre with a huge variety of outdoor and also indoor plants. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff who are always happy to help and show you around. Inside there are two cafes, a wide selection of garden accessories and furniture and also a large selection of gifts and food items

A fantastic garden centre hidden away in the fens. Quality plants at competitive prices. Great gift selection and artisan food section. A lovely little coffee shop and also a restaurant. Child friendly with a pedal go-cart track and a small park which are free. Crazy golf available and an ice cream parlour. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Only found out about TPGC from friends last year, been a few times now, a comprehensive range of garden paraphernalia, plants and niknaks, nice food in the restaurant too

We always love coming to Twenty Pence Garden Centre, it’s our favourite, probably because it’s independent. We also love the food area, and the cafe is very accommodating to us and often our dog. On this occasion we took our grandson there, with a view to going on the go karts and then wandering around the shop, which we always enjoy. Sadly, our grandson fell over and grazed both his knees. We were immediately asked by a member of staff if we needed a first aider but we thought he was ok. A few minutes later our grandson was upset and so we asked for a first aider. We waited only a moment for the first aid box to arrive, and our grandson was very carefully cleaned up, and after sporting two plasters, this seemed to make his day. I would like to thank John for looking after our grandson so gently and for making what could have been a horrible moment such an easy one. .

Lovely Sunday roast and some fabulous flowers 💐

Quality items at very reasonable prices

We had a strange experience just now, I picked up a creme egg on the way out, but when I started to unwrap it I could see that it had been unwrapped before and was dirty and dusty (maybe dropped on a floor?). My husband nipped back in to swap it for a clean one, and the manager was really unpleasant and confrontational about it to him, although he eventually did get a new one. I mean, it's only a 99p creme egg?

Went to get a drink and a piece of cake from the orchard. Only able to get cake if you buy a toastie. What a stupid and pointless rule, ruined my whole weekend. Kids are crying. Well done

Very nice food, generous size meals and lovely setting

Went for sandwich 40 min queue cafe was in chaos

extremely nice place, wonderful restaurant, nice friendly staff, clean and tidy

Good food reasonably priced. Good for gardening and furniture

It’s a smart well stocked garden centre. It has two very good cafe/restaurants and the food is actually very good although a touch expensive

I had a delightful visit to Ely Wilburton Garden Centre! It’s such a charming spot, not only for plant lovers but for anyone looking to enjoy a relaxing day out. The garden center itself is well-stocked with a fantastic range of plants, gardening tools, and decor, making it a perfect stop for gardeners of all levels. The highlight for me was the cute cafe—it’s an absolute gem! They offer a great selection of both hot and cold foods, perfect for any time of day. I had a delicious meal and was thoroughly impressed with the homemade cakes. They were incredibly fresh, and the flavors were just divine—definitely a must-try! The whole experience was made even better by the friendly and welcoming staff, creating a warm atmosphere that made me feel right at home. Whether you’re visiting for the plants or the food, Ely Wilburton Garden Centre is a fantastic place to unwind, shop, and enjoy a lovely meal. Highly recommended!

What a lovely cafe called Applejacks inside twenty pence garden centre, we all had jackets potato which came with generous toppings and a delicious side salad, we also had lovely homemade desserts and enjoyed in the lovely and cosy conservatory. The service from the tea was 10/10z

It's ok, overpriced for many things in there. Restaurant demonstrated how bland the food is. No seasoning and meal cold by the time I sat down.

Great garden centre with everything you could possibly want for the garden plus gifts, toys, foods. Good cafe with wide range of drinks, cakes and hot meals. Reasonably priced.

Good place for plant's indoor and outdoor, good for all types shopping. The food halls are good value and lovely food

We had a lovely time. Especially impressed by the cafe and the choice of gluten free food available. The staff were so helpful and friendly, we will definitely be visiting again

These guys do not respond to emails, even though they sent them. The staff dislike discussions about serving GLUTEN FREE AND DAIRY FREE items. They all give different answers. Then staff on the tills start discussing you behind your back (actually not behind your back as your still shopping, in front of them) as your proved right yet again and they didnt like it! Its not a life choice for some its a matter of life or death. So not really a laughing or snorting matter in this case! Come on Applejacks, you cater for vegans, Vegetarians, Gluten free or Dairy free, so why cant you cater for those that are GF and DF? And when Tracey eventually responds to emails, perhaps read the email correctly, and get facts correct, instead of trying to prove that the garden centre is right and we as customers are idiots and are wrong!! Sadly again on this occasion we were correct, Applejacks doesnt serve Gluten and Dairy free food, nor does the other small cafe, unless your wanting a proper meal! The garden centre as a whole is great all year round, for plants and gifts, and we will continue to visit as its one of the best and cleanest we have been to

Yummy food. Lotsa plants. Good selection of other things

Big shop and decent restaurant.

Good garden centre & restaurant

Just had Sunday lunch here, was not nice at all. Gravy like jelly tough leeks, cold veg. Really not an enjoyable lunch. Disappointed, it's gone down hill.

Banging Sunday roast, glorious coffee, outstanding cakes, a world of beautiful plants, an overly tempting shop of gifts and wares AND a Christmas market. What more can you ask for?

Went for a lovely coffee but Mr.P gave in and had the full English which.looked amazing.

Very impressed with this garden centre. It had been a long time since I'd been and it is now a regular visit for us. It is substantial in size with a number of activities on top of garden centre shopping. 2 excellent cafes. Always a good experience

Yes.. Always enjoy looking around but did not buy this particular time but had lovely stock x

Always a marvellous brekky, 5, 7 or 9 items. Excellent range of Christmas items and stationery, and garden plants. Lots of spacious parking, including for campers. Dog friendly. People friendly. Toilets.

Nice friendly place good service good range of produce

Changed alot since I was last here, due to the weather was able to do much outside but the Christmas set up was good, need to try the food next time which could uplift the rating to a 5 or could go the other way 😂

Good garden centre but better experience for cafe / indoor gifts than actual plants etc.

Nice place to go. Easy parking. Friendly helpful staff. Lots to choose from. Nice food and drink

Covid safe, friendly and helpful service.

Really lovely and great food too.

Great garden centre. Lots of choice of plants. Large shop with good range of products. Cafe food very nice especially the posh fish finger sandwich - would highly recommend! Christmas selection fantastic

A basic garden centre with nothing particularly special about it. It's also rather expensive. There is nothing available for twenty pence as far as I could see, so the intention must be to mislead customers.

Very tasty bbq pork and a lovely meal. Well stocked for xmas. Lot's of goodies for Christmas 🎄

Good garden centre. Lots of child friendly things to do great for families

It’s really dated. For some reason has two restaurants. Lacks charm, prices aren’t amazing. Just didn’t feel cosy - it’s a garden center sure but I’ve been to many more beautiful ones in Cambridgeshire. Doesn’t have a deli counter or butchers which I like in other places. Has parking, absolutely loads of it too.

Lovely place for a peaceful visit. Cafe is good too.

This is my first experience here to meet a colleague for coffee. The staff were lovely, and they informed me of the roast dinners prepared and served at a reduced rate on a Tuesday for local pensioners. How lovely and amazing is that! I managed to have a couple of roast potatoes that were left over and would highly recommend them. I also had a wander around the garden furniture department and observed some beautiful pieces. Worth a look.

Much better layout and presentation of plants of late. More of an enjoyable experience rather than just a place to get the essentials.

Great restaurant with lovely selection of cakes and cooked items. Lots of tables inside and outside. Dog friendly. Good outdoor and indoor plants at reasonable prices. Outdoor garden items aplenty and good prices. Easy, free parking with lots of spaces. Friendly staff.

Lovely garden centre with a good selection of plants and a super gift section. Has a restaurant and a coffee bar.

We went inly for the play area. We bought grazy golf but that was pointless..the moment my 3 year old saw kart's and sand pit she wanted to go there. She played there for 2 hours. There are slides, climbing rope, kart's, sand pit with some things in there. The place was very quiet between 2-4pm.

Usually, quite a busy place. Cafe was rather slow today.

My family and I had lots of fun doing mini golf. We then went to the cafe and got a drink and a bite to eat which was delicious. The staff are very friendly and professional which makes twenty pence garden centre a wonderful place to be.

Fantastic coffee restaurant and great variety of plants and prices

Just queued for food - one side was closed so a bigger queue on the snack side - asked for the gardeners breakfast ( full English) at 11.04 as if took a few minutes longer to queue ( their fault) - girl behind till informed me breakfasts finished at 11.00 am - she checked with kitchen but breakfast was closed at 11.00 am - so then I ordered my wife her choice of a toasted sandwich ( Brie and cranberry ) but told they are only sold from 11.30 am 😩😩🤣🤣😩😩🤣🤣- so came away with two coffees and observed a line of unhappy customers- duty manger called but no help whatsoever other than to say they are looking at it for the future - poor attitude to add to ridiculous rules of when certain foods are available - not your finest hour Twenty Pence - you may have been voted best garden centre - but not by us who will now go elsewhere to find something to eat !!!! Mike and Susan

Just stopped for a cuppa but the garden centre seemed well stocked x

After a long drive through France we needed a pit stop .. We looked on Google and this place popped up.. Crazy golf for the kids and a doggy play area for Dexter.. We spoke to one of your employees called Alyson with a Y not an I.. She said that.. She was lovely and told us all about the twenty pence garden centre and recommended the pizzas... They were delicious ... She even passed the Dexter test which is a rarity.... You have a credit to your team there with Alyson with a Y.. Well done and thank you.. PS the kids cheated at golf....

Perfect little town garden center but I had to deduct 1 star because it doesn't have enough big plants it has a bunch of small ones but not big ones Other then that it has great food with a blissful ice cream shop and some decent mini golf really a one off thing though

We only went for lunch, which was excellent with a wide selection of dishes and sandwiches etc. Recommended.

Lovely staff, a whole range of gardening equipment, plants, gifts, foods, etc. Very nice cafe, dog friendly with an agility area, mini golf, play park etc. Good parking and disabled access. Xx

Excellent, lovely independent garden centre. Cakes to die for, never mind about the diet

Nice garden centre. Good food in cafe. Roast dinner today

Had a wonderful lunch. The panini was delicious and filling. Definitely will have this again

Good garden centre with a very pleasant coffee shop.

Lovely garden centre. Definitely visit again

Popped by for a quick look round and a cheeky breakfast. Very nice, helpful staff and good choice across the store

The best, most varied, generous roast lunch I have had in a long time. Thick, soft roast beef, Yorkie, stuffing, 8 veg and unlimited gravy for those of us who like a lot. Kind attentive staff...and the plants are good too! Brilliant. Will return whenever I am this way.

A very nice and well-organised garden centre with not bad prices.

Fabulous Garden Centre, beautiful plants at the moment!

This is some were you do browsing lots of things you want but don't need

Only short visit seems okay unable to make a full rating

Fantastic breakfast here and great you can select what you want and make your own breakfast your way. Definitely would come back again.

Lovely staff, nice atmosphere, great kids area

A very decent garden centre with cafe and restaurant.

Good Saturday menu. I felt the Saturday menu choice is better than the Sunday.

The food is great. Pensioners roast on Tuesday is very good. Whilst a little remote the garden centre is excellent for plants and gizits. We'll worth a trip out.

Just been into Twenty Pence. The lady at the till was so engrossed in conversation with her friend, that she scanned the items and gave us a receipt without saying hello or acknowledging us as customers...in any way. Glad I didn't spend more money. We'll just go to Oakington next time.

Very pleasant experience, nice children's play area with a sweet little shop selling lovely ice-cream.

Only used the restaurant. Staff extremely helpful and polite. The vegetables needed a little more cooking, the carrots were hard.

Great nursery, they have a huge selection of plants, shrubs trees, vegetables seeds etc. Lovely inside area with anything you want or need for garden and house, bird seeds, houses, feeders etc. It's a must go to Nursery, oh they also have a restaurant and a new patio area outside to sit and eat.

What a garden centre brilliant staff and super clean toilets and an outstanding cafe/restaurant

Lovely selection of plants, also nice selection of goods inside, ideal for finding gifts. Restaurant is good too.

I personally don't like walking around garden centres, but my partner loves it. This place had a large parking area, big enough for my large van. Inside they had a large selection of plants and equipment, cafe, food shop, ice cream parlour, and even mini golf. A nice place.

Lovely garden centre, could easily spend afternoon there. has a bit of everything apart from plants etc, has garden furniture, jams local cider wine and various artisan foods, toys cards & lots of lovely bits & bobs. Outside area for kids, and dog play area, they also sell ice cream for dogs! Restaurant and coffee shop food & drinks high standard.

All good nice stocked garden centre.

Love this garden centre so much to see very well stocked with plants and other stuff for the garden. Also have a drink and something to eat.

Fantastic garden centre. Fabulous products. Great area for children too. Not overly expensive either.

Variety inside and out, good food and cake

Great selection, wonderful company and so fun!

Went for afternoon tea with friends, and it was nothing special whatsoever.

Well stocked with lovely plants but rather expensive so spent far too much. Nice cup of coffee in the restaurant. Cakes on sale in packs not too nice but probably chose the wrong ones. Everyone has there own taste so just try.

Love this garden center! They have a little bit of everything. Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Even if I'm running in for only one item, I always end up getting more. Love there restaurant! Nice to have something like this so close to the village.

Enjoyed the cafe and great selection of plants. However, very disappointed I couldn't find lavender, (which I can't believe you haven't got) so asked two men. One had no idea and asked another member of staff, who went off but never returned with an answer. Mrs P. Law

Great little garden center with a nice cafe. People always really helpful!!

Coffee and scone with butter after shopping. Cheese scone with butter, pickle and cheese £4.00 No thank you, just the cheese scone with butter - £4.00 !

Sunday roast great wish it was not 50 miles from home.

Nice flowers but could be cheaper. The deli is good and sell excellent cakes. There is now a pizzeria in the deli which serves decent pizza.

Lovely garden centre, great cafe and cakes

Fantastic service food brilliant staff very helpful and friendly

This is the first time in several years I have visited this garden centre. A lot of money has obviously been invested in bringing the restaurant and shopping facilities up to date. We visited on a Sunday and had some food and had a look around the retail area. The food was nice, but the service area was badly managed and organised. Staff were serving customers in a disorganised way which was confusing and also annoying. Though the tables were generally clean in the restaurant more attention should be paid to ensuring the space is also clean too. The retail area holds lots of interesting gifts and gardening tools, plus BBQs, plants, etc. In all, the place is well run, nicely kept, but it's a shame about the annoyances in the restaurant. Prices here are higher than Dobbies or chain garden centres but that's kind of what you expect from an independent.

On visiting today we went to the orchard pizzeria for 2 coffee's and were told that we could not have them unless we purchased food. THEY

Lovely place with so much choice and plenty of it. The cafe is worth a visit. Lovely staff especially Sarah who walked us round twice for items we couldn't find. Very personable young lady. Will be going back

A nice garden centre that does a fantastic sunday roast dinner, paninis and cakes. There's also a pizza cafe as well. Sells a good selection of pretty much everything you'd want to find at garden centre
