Arcadia Garden Centre in Hambleton - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely place to go, cafe is very nice

Amazing selection of plants and the Gardeners Retreat restaurant is lovely with great food

The shop and nursery are lovely if you don't mind a 2 mile hike to find everything.. Especially the cafe which is up a hill basically..It wore my 86 year old mum in law out! The configuration is all wrong.And then you have to leave going all the way around the nursery again when the car park is through some gates that are locked and there was no need to walk all the way back again ...Very annoying place and i wont be returning with my mum in law any time soon..Sorry..

Visited cafe before shopping in the Garden Centre. My wife is a regular but this was my first visit, As it I was a hot day I unusually decided to have the Chicken Tikka salad, but was told they didn’t have all the ingredients to make any of the salads. Instead I had the turkey pie with chips & peas. The chips were superb. All the staff were especially helpful and friendly.

Great split sight with a huge food hall, great indoor and outdoor plants; plus a great dinosaur themed play area

Ate in the restaurant. I think you are taking advantage of the OAP clientele. Over priced for small portions.

Lovely place to shop,great sale prices,plants are very good.

Excellent good choice of plants

Shame, could be so much better. The play area stinks of raw sewage and the food is very average and over priced. The scoops of ice cream are tiny! Way over priced. Our kids where so disappointed.

Quiet but friendly place, there's a decent selection of patio furniture to look at considering the size of their building. They also had a decent selection of bedding plants. I bought a plant, but it was tricky to pick one because I found a lot of them had long roots coming out of the bottom of their pots. I'm going to watch the plant, to see if it does well after its root trim.

My go to garden centre with helpful staff, lots of well looked after plants etc. I usually leave with more than I went for. Great cafe, clean toilets and also sell gifts, shoes, lots of other things, beautiful at Xmas as well. Wheelchair accessible as well, my husband uses one.

Always a good quality and good place to visit good staff and lovely food cakes out of this world

Can’t praise the staff in the restaurant highly enough! Helpful, friendly and amazing with my 3 year old grandson who was being very difficult! He calmed down and thoroughly enjoyed our visit - thank you ladies, you now know toy tractor do not run in a straight line!! 😂 Food excellent, staff amazing, experience of our visit perfect!!

HAVE BEEN TO BUY PLANTS AND ALWAYS CALL IN FOR TEA AND A CAKE OR LUNCH STAFF VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. ALSO DOG FRIENDLY WHICH IS GREAT AS WE CAN MAKE A NICE TRIP FOR US AND OUR DOG WHO LOVES WALKING AROUND WITH ALL THE NICE SMELLS .

Good variety, wide stock to tools and everything else a gardener would need.

Good selection of plants and vegetables.

We enjoyed our drive from Northallerton, and there is plenty to look at,, helpful staff and the food hall had good food though a bit pricey

Great store, plants, shoes, gifts,toys, pet beds, food and treats. Lovely cafe, dog friendly. Serves delicious food plus carvery.

Good range of plants Easy parking

Very busy in restaurant but nice meal Getting a bit pricey

Garden centre is nice, however we had a Sunday carvery which wasn’t. The veg was soggy and chewy and my wife had the veggie option which was all the veg plus veggie sausage. Unfortunately the sausage didn’t turn up even after asking twice for them, so my wife just had a plate of vegetables for the same price as a standard carvery despite you serving veggie alternatives.

Family group for Father’s Day breakfast (9 of us) staff were polite and attentive, served by twins who were great, food was served in a timely fashion, few bits missing from big complicated order, sorted immediately with no wait, enjoyed it, the food was lovely and made the day. Thank you.

Great selection of plants as you can see in photos, go for a look round and can't stop buying, great place for a day out.

Great got everything we wanted great place to visit

Lovely garden centre. There's something for everyone here. It was my first visit but I'll be back again. The plants were really good and healthy looking and reasonably priced. The staff were very helpful. The displays were good. The cafe was excellent. We didn't get chance to look at all the other stuff they had but there was plenty to see. The children's areas looked good too

Very enjoyable day out. Excellent garden centre, cafe and unusual gifts.

Garden range is great, relatively reasonable prices. The cafe has a good choice of food, we had the carvery which wasn't amazing unfortunately, soggy tasteless vegetables and Yorkshire pudding rock solid. The cups/mugs/teapots served for coffee and tea we're also quite dirty and looked as if not washed properly. Staff did apologise and I was given cleaner ones, but still not great.

Plants and other items where a bit pricey, however the selection was very varied lots of plants I hadn't seen before.

Had a lovely time here bought some gorgeous plants loads of choice great prices the restaurant was lovely too fast service friendly staff

Interesting place to visit, plenty of gardening products available and other nick nacks also nice coffee shop / eaterie well worth a visit.

Great plant selection. Stroll all day with restaurant for nice food. Great garden centre - my favorite in the area.

If you enjoy a good cup of tea don’t go here. Both myself and my mum took one sip and it was vile cheap teabags, come on Arcadia it’s a cup of tea it’s not hard.

Love the garden centre and little dinos but the food has gone down hill so over priced for what you get 9.99 for 2 sausages beans and chips on a kids size plate wasn't even cooked nice but apart from the food love it

Good size lots of plants and fruit trees gift shop and garden furniture.

Good range of products with some useful offers

FIRST VISIT TO THIS GARDEN CENTRE VERY PLEASED WITH PLANTS ON SALE PURCHASED A CAR FULL COULD NOT GET ANYMORE IN ALSO PURCHASED DRINKS AND FOOD WHICH WAS GOOD ONLY THING WAS THERE WAS ONLY ONE DOG FRIENDLY TABLE INSIDE WHICH WAS TAKEN AS THE WEATHER WAS NOT TO BAD WE ALL SAT OUTSIDE MAYBE A FEW MORE DOG FRIENDLY TABLES WOULD BE REALLY GOOD FOR DOG OWNERS. WILL RETURN IN A FEW DAYS AS STILL HAVE LOTS TO PURCHASE STAFF VERY HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY MANY THANKS SUE CORPS

Fantastic place: the food is good too

Excellent food and atmosphere. Great selection of drinks

Fantastic place - huge range of plants and the restaurant has a big gluten free menu.

It's a very nice garden centre there's also a restaurant and play area for kids bit expensive like looking around but can get plants cheaper elsewhere still worth a visit though

Great plants well looked after.not brilliant on outdoor Dec's tho

Love love this garden center. It has a natural beautiful flow around it. Dangerous for your pocket but great for a step count lol. Great value for money across the board for home and garden items. You can never have enough shoes, plants, ornaments and cake right?

Lovely garden centre and the Sunday lunch was 1st class, I would recommend it to anyone to go

Always popular cafe, tasty carvery. Lots of options for plants 🪴 good value and offers changing regularly

We go here a lot with both sides of our family. However on 3 occasions now there is a particular member of staff (lady with tattoos) didn’t catch her name and she is so rude speaking to people like they are stupid. I actually dread her being on the till. It’s such a shame because the rest of the team are lovely, food is lovely and nice garden shop. However after our last visit we won’t be returning.

Called here recently and spent a few hours deciding what’s plant and pots i needed for my garden also called into restaurant for some light bites,lovely food and good atmosphere as was getting busier also nice clean areas with plenty of seating,also lots to see and buy in each departments in garden centre all staff very friendly especially tall young lad who was a fab help and professional and arranged delivery of one of my plants .we spent a bit of money in garden centre after a few questions to pleasant and knowledgeable staff.would recommend to all .we will be back

This place never fails to amaze me, always have what I want,

It was so busy. We managed to get a seat but when we saw the queues to buy your ticket and the queue to collect your dinner we decided to leave but the Carvery did look really scrummy.

Lovely place and friendly staff. Well worth a visit. Play area for children and pottery craft work shop.

This place is huge, plants seem good quality, they have some nice outdoor furniture selections, there is a cafe on site and staff are friendly.

Not impressed with cafe called in today ordered cheese burgers after paying for them staff came out and said they had no burgers only had chicken burgers it was served with chips which were obviously frozen they were so chalky and dry you couldn't swallow them I wanted a cake out of second display cabinet got told I couldn't have one as they were for tomorrow I wasn't the only person asking for cake out of second display cabinet in my opinion a sale is a sale not saving them for next day very bizzare so I got apple pie it was cold and apple was hard like undercooked it wasn't cheap cost over £36 for 2 of us !!!!

Lovely garden center lovely cafe home made food outdoor and indoor play area lots of free parking

Huge Garden Centre and well presented

Arcadia garden centre is great for all your gardening needs, there is everything you could want from hoses to greenhouses and everything in-between ,the café is lovely with a nice menu, the biggest problem is the very strong smell of drains or sewage which can be quite strong and nauseous.

Well stocked well looked after plants, flowers and veg

Reasonable price and well stocked

I visited Little Dinos Soft Play with my two daughters. It was my 3 year olds birthday so we thought we’d treat her and her little sister to lunch out and a play. My 11 month old was in the ball pit playing with me when an older child grabbed her dress and scratched her face and head until she was screaming. The mother pulled him off after a few seconds and very casually just said “oh sorry about that.” My baby’s face was bleeding and covered in scratches so I immediately picked her up and removed her from the area. A few minutes later another parent who I know from nursery approached me to ask what had happened so I pointed out the little boy and said that he had grabbed and scratched her. When the mother of said boy came over and started screaming and shouting at me saying that I was “calling her son” and asking if I wanted her to “batter him” to make me feel better over the incident. I responded by saying that I was simply letting my friend know what happened as she could see the damage to her head. She continued to scream and shout in my face and tried to get her friends to join in. I just walked away and took my baby to get cleaned up and put a cold compress on her head. Around ten minutes later the deputy manager came in to speak to me and the group of women started shouting over “oh she’s got the manager involved! He’s only one! Grow up!” And kept saying it was an ‘accident’ - take a look at the photos, it was no accident. She looks like she was mauled by an animal!! I hadn’t notified anyone, it was a different member of staff who went to get help after she saw the mother shouting at me while holding my bleeding baby. The deputy manager then spoke to the women and did absolutely nothing, she seemed more annoyed that she now needed to write an incident report. She kept saying “kids will be kids” but the issue was the aggressive mother who was shouting in my face while I was holding my baby and my toddler nearby. She just left them to it and they were continuing to say things about us. So we just packed up and left. The entire place felt incredibly hostile and didn’t feel comfortable letting my girls play with that child still in there after seeing the damage he caused in only a few seconds. All we wanted was a nice trip out for my little girls 3rd birthday and we left with an upset toddler after witnessing a group of women shouting at her mother while holding her baby sister. And my 11 month old full of scratches all over her face and head. This is completely unacceptable, that place is supposed to be a fun and safe place for our children. Parents should not be able to act like that with no consequences whatsoever. The way we were treated was absolutely disgusting and having multiple children witnessing it too with no staff member standing up to deal with it. I now feel like I’d think twice before bringing my daughters back here if the parents can act worse than the children. I’ve since had an email response from the centre but it was from the deputy manager who I was complaining about. So I feel this is just inappropriate and it should be passed on to higher management

Excellent shop and lovely cafe, reasonably priced

Very big poorly signposted inside. You have to walk through umpteen areas to find what your looking for. A bit like a supermarket, hoping you'll buy something else other than what you came for.

Have passed this garden centre on several occasions and not realised how big it is. Apart from the obvious plants and gardening equipment there is a large area devoted to garden furniture and outdoor dining,an area selling pavers shoes, an area for clothing, one for toys and another with displays of jewellery,soaps,scented candles ,pictures and soft furnishing to name but a few. There is a large cafe/ restaurant selling a good range of snacks, drinks and meals and there is also a carvery. Within the cafe there is a designated area for those with dogs. The children's play area looked OK and although we didn't go in,there was a separate indoor soft play building. Definitely worth a visit

Food is out of this world and the service is amazing

What a lovely place to look around. And so cheap also well worth a visit for you gardener's

Lovely selection of plants at a fair price.

Always enjoy a visit. Huge dinning area.

Nice garden centre with amenities for kids. Nice restaurant if a little understaffed and lengthy counter service. If you do visit the restaurant, be prepared for a long walk to the exit for if you have walking difficulties.

Love going out afternoon lunch and buying my plants and bought a nice blouse

Staff informative about plants .Good parking area. Prices not bad, very clean restaurant on site

Always good to look around. With lots of free parking

Poor lighting and not very inviting.

Great selection of plants and garden bits etc. Lovely cafe

We had afternoon tea staff very attentive and food really nice

I went here for the first time with family. Had the carvery. I asked for some turkey and some beef and was given some wafer thin slivers of each. The stuffing ball was hard and dry. The Yorkshire pudding was like a huge stumpy cone with the consistency of card board. The carrots, despite having some herbs sprinkled on them, like the cauliflower and the broccoli and the gravy were all tasteless and the whole meal was Luke warm/verging on cold. The roast potatoes were OK, and the horseradish sauce was good. Far superior carveries to be had else where so wont be returning in future.

I came specifically for the softplay area for my one-year-old. Unfortunately, it was pouring rain, and to reach the softplay, I had to navigate through the garden center, which was leaking in various places due to the heavy rain. Some sections were closed off because of the rain, and although the garden center displayed a nice selection of trinkets and plants, part of the outdoor plant area was flooded and inaccessible. The softplay area could have been better maintained; the floor was sticky, high chairs were covered in gunk, and even the tables, which should be easy to wipe down, were sticky. The overall cleanliness was lacking, with bits scattered around, and the restriction on wearing shoes made it uncomfortable, especially considering the less-than-clean condition inside. If the cleanliness improves, it could be a great place to visit, but as it stands, I wouldn't feel at ease returning.

Cafe ok but no butter on muffins which were bit stale and rubbery eggs too many beans on top of a very flat omelette disappointing visit.

Delicious food great gifts love pavers shoes too.

A good place to find well-grown and well-maintained plants for your garden. Moreover, their Sunday Roast is superb...!! 😍👍🏼🤤

Visited today at lunchtime and very disappointed and annoyed with cafe staff and service..paid for order of 2 meals waited 30 mins as busy to ask where our food was to be advised been out and could not locate table etc, gave table number that was on the table at point of order.Lady on till very apologetic and advised would get meals out, after approx 10 mins saw our meals come down the stairs but the servicing woman took upstairs, when she was walking back down stairs we had to wave to get her attention…she came over gave us our meals and proceeded to tell us not advise but tell us that it was not the proper table number as 38 was upstairs, acting like was our fault that the table number was incorrect….terrible customer service and to top it off she forgot the butter for the jacket potatoes….again had to go to the main service area to get butter and advise of the service of the staff, again lady on till was apologetic and understanding. Due to delay of meals was overly hungry also the potatoes had been reheated, worst food we have had from cafe as normally very good , but only takes 1 member of staff with attitude to ruin a day out.

Really nice place. First time visit. Breakfast was delicious

Liked walking around the place, a bit nippy inside though. The cafe is superb. Staff couldn't do enough. The food was exceptional. Fantastic carvery. Couldn't fault it

Great Seasonal offers. And plenty for the pets and Kids 1st visit and an excellent 1 indeed. Looking forward to going again.

Went over for a look at their Christmas display and buy some new tree decorations and it was by far the best in the area. Well done the team that set it up.

Nice garden centre, the old folks love it

Visited several local Garden Centres looking for winter plants. They all looked dead apart from Arcadia's selection. A good choice and all were very healthy...

Eeee this was much bigger than I remembered from back in my youth!

Wonderful Christmas displays year after year

Great place for a good pot of tea and a decent fresh scone,

Ordered food for 6 and got drinks promptly. It then took 40 minutes for food to arrive and even then only after we went up to ask about them. The food was warm at best, as if it had been left under a hot lamp and the Omlet was cold. We sent it back, waited 20 minutes and then went and asked about it, we were given it only for it to be cold again. To be fair to the staff it was fairly busy and they were apologetic but we spent more time waiting than we did eating. Very disappointing.

A nice garden centre which is very popular. This place can get very busy. Its great cz the place is big with and outdoor play area for children and a cafe with hearty food. I do believe in my option it is quite expensive that's why I have taken a star off.

For the price the breakfast is decent and the ingredients are all of good quality

We ordered at 12:21pm and 30 minutes later, still hadn't received the food. We went to enquire about it and was told that it was just coming. 15 minutes later, it still hadn't arrived. Finally, after voicing concerns, 30 minutes, it arrived. It's obvious the order had been forgotten about, even though we had been told it hadn't. Absolutely disgraceful service. Will not go here again. Quite sad as the food is okay. It definitely needs a shake up in the staff. It wasn't short staffed.

Great for the kids, really Christmasy and the sort play is ideal for toddlers

Lovely friendly staff 😊 one of the few garden centres that remain a garden centre and not aisles full of expensive tat. Some other garden centres have totally forgotten what a garden centre should be. Let's hope it doesn't change.

Lots of choice.christmas decs are fabulous

Very nice Christmas decorations had a lovely meal in cafe they also do a carvery

I went to Arcadia with my daughter in law and grandaughters .The christmas displays were lovely the gurls really enjoyed them .We then had a drink and cake in tge cafe .It was delicious .

Love my Christmas visits here. So many bright and beautiful decorations 😍

brilliant, sells a large variety of merchandise and very spacious and pleasant to look around. Cafe lovely too

Nice food - in fact the burger and a few chips were very good. However, prices were disappointingly high, especially over £3 for a half pint bottle of soft drink. Worst of all, all the crockery has that gritty feel that means they were washed in a dishwasher that was full of food residue - leaving everything with a thin layer of other people's leftovers. Frankly disgusting, I had to clean my tea up with my shirt sleeve to make it fit to use. The second cup of tea came with the same quality cup :(

I took a group of oap friends for lunch yesterday all paid £15 per person for xmas lunch and i was disgusting lunch was cold and veg under cooked and the desert cake was stale i would advise anyone planning to eat here give it a wide birth it's a rip off god knows who cooks the cold food il will not recommend arcadia cafe to anyone
