Lovely carvery meal at Arcadia near Stokesley today. Unfortunately the inner automatic door remained open so when the outer door opened everyone in the lower floor area was subjected to cold air from outside. The two automatic doors are supposed to create an airlock to minimise heat loss so this needs fixing asap.

Xmas section was very good however the poor score is attributed to the service and quality of product in the cafe We asked for the advertised ‘Winter Warmer’ special drinks however were served 2 bog standard and not that pleasant drinks instead When my wife queried why our drinks didn’t look the pictures on the advert behind the counter she was told we couldn’t have those as they weren’t on the till? Why advertise then Unfortunately after really enjoying the Xmas section we left with a poor opinion of the place and went to Cherry Hill to buy our decorations

A good display of christmas goods to look around which keeps the little ones entertained also. Pleasant garden centre with reasonable prices for garden equipment Play areas inside and out for the little ones with a cafe that serves lovely food however the tea to drink is very unpleasant. There is also a food hall for families to enjoy away from the play area.

This is my favourite garden centre. The selection of quality plants, indoor shops, amazing cafe. Memories made with the children , dinosaur's, play park . Disability friendly, large car park . The staff are knowledgeable and friendly . It's a gardener's delight that all ages can enjoy . Recently, the Christmas shop opened with the end of Halloween . My friend & I couldn't resist having our moments , finishing at the till with our winter pansies & Christmas decorations . Also, lunch in the cafe . Fun photos . Thank you Arcadia .

ARCADIA GARDEN RESTURANT Never again will we return. There are certain standards that people have and this place isn't mine. The resturant is like walking into the 70s. The bread on the sandwich was grey and limp the lasagna was orange cheese with no flavour and hardly any meat and of course the chips are frozen oven chips terrible. I should have know as soon as I walked in but I didn't and paid £29 for 2 meals and I couldn't face eating the sandwich so left it. It wasnt even worth explaining to any staff as they truly think they are serving good food. The quality of food is terrible and the place is too big. Again it's about standards and some diners will think it's the best! Please dont reply with apologies as in other comments as it is not good enough!.

A super garden centre with a great choice of items and products for the garden. At this time of the year your needs for Xmas decorations, trees etc are well catered for along with items as presents. There are also clothes and shoes to choose from. After that there is a walk through the trees with dinosaurs and sand pits for the children to play in sending at a wonderful cafeteria with a wide choice of items to eat and drink

First time in here after passing on my way to work numerous times. I didnt get far round as spent most of my time in the Pavers shoe shop which is just to the left as you go inside. My Mum, sister and myself ended up buying shoes and boots instead of plants. Will definitely visit again but put some blinkers on as I enter.

First visit today with family that live in the area. Will definitely be visiting again. I am gluten free and the food in the restaurant was absolutely top notch, the selection was excellent and the cakes were out of this world. A full shelf of gluten free cakes to choose from! I have not been anywhere that has had such a large amount of GF cakes, I was in cake heaven so had to pick 2 different ones to take home with me. The staff knew how important GF food was for me and were very reassuring about the cakes being GF, and the portion sizes were fantastic. Customer service second to none, well done to everyone there.

The large range of plants in this garden centre are usually in good condition, even the ones on the sale table. It's a bit of a wandering one way system around the site. My wife isn't keen on the cafeteria "it's like a large open canteen with no atmosphere " but I haven't been there myself. The Pavers shoe shop is popular and they have occasional savings on the already discounted shoes. Lots of space to park.

I like Arcadia, it's a good place to visit. Whether you're on a horticultural jaunt or looking for unusual gift ideas, I'm always happy when my wife suggests a trip there. Having seen some unusual boots on a recent visit, I suggested to one of our daughters that she might like to have a look at them. We went, and she was indeed interested in a couple of pairs of Dr Marten 'look a likes' at a fraction of the cost. Bouyed by our purchase we went to the cafe for a drink and snack, which diminished our visit somewhat. Biscoff brownie (I think) and fruit scone with jam (clotted cream not available) called to us, and we yielded to temptation. Gosh, I wish we hadn't. Both were dry and majorly disappointing. Oh-so-near to an excellent experience.

We love a day out here, we usually go at Christmas but we thought it would be good to go in summer so my children could enjoy the outside play equipment too. We had a carvery lunch first which was nice. Quite pricey but we enjoyed it and would eat it again. When we went to the little dinos soft play, we were really disappointed. We've been before plenty of times but this time is was absolutely filthy. To the point I took my baby out, out of fear he might put things in his mouth. The floor tiles of the soft play had gaps between where they had moved and inbetween you could see the filth on the floor. It looked like it hadn't been hoovered underneath for months. It was VERY noticeable, so there's no way staff could tidy up the soft play and not realise it needed a hoover. When we sat to have a drink, my partner pointed to the corner of the window by the door way to enter the building and the build up of cobwebs was unbelievable. I feel like my outdoor, spider infested garden shed would be a cleaner place for my children to play.

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.

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.

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.

The food here is amazing in the 80s it was the place to be for food and drink. Then it went through a few management changes and went to being very quiet. Well now it's back with a new owner and the food the staff are spot on. We had Chicken Parmos with chips and garlic sauce and it's the best weve had . My 6 year old wanted more the open fire was nice and cosy making the Christmas experience more magical. Nothing was too much trouble colouring pens and paper were given to my little one . it's the little extras that make this place extra special going above and beyond 🧑🎄🧑🎄🎄🎄👌

Reserved a table online for a small family reunion. Clearly a popular spot and there were a lot of people milling around outside and drinking outside the pubs on the main street. Service inside was good and there was a good choice of food which was very tasty. Sadly there was a large group of well watered men booked onto the table next to us, in the area by the bar, which completely spoilt the last half of our meal as we simply couldn't hear each other talking. It was a real shame that staff didn't consider putting us in the other part of the restaurant where there were several empty tables all evening, or relocating us for the last part of our meal when it would have been obvious we could no longer converse or hear. .... this would have made all the difference. (It would have been awkward having to ask to be moved ... but care from front of house staff could have carefully relocated us.)
