Stopped here mid journey on numerous occasions. It's a huge garden centre with lots of in house outlets. Main attraction is the very large cafe. Loads of seating in and out and a wide range of food and beverage on offer at very competitive prices. Even when it's busy there's not much delay for food, because of the large number of staff available. Our coffee was good, as was the lunchtime food we chose. Breakfast is good too.

Onsite Vintage Butcher seems always busy and there is a good selection of groceries including speciality locally baked cakes.

It's locality appeals to me but this Nursery is one of three that adequately fill the needs and requirements of the gardener, the large restaraunt more than competes with other units in this area at competitive prices. The plant and garden areas do sometimes appear "Lived In" but then so do most gardens. A large car park appeals but be careful when leaving the road is well known by locals to be a fast one.

We visit this location on a regular basis and eat here, normally enjoying the food. It seems that over the last few weeks things have taken a downward turn. Perhaps the chef has changed I don’t know. I had cod and chips today and my partner had omelette. I thought I had a very large piece of fish but it was mostly batter that was over cooked and there was very little fish and that was dried out. Both of chips were just warm and I feel had been hanging around for a while!! It was such a shame that we have had to leave a negative review.

It's a rare experience to find a garden centre like this one. It feels traditional & unspoilt, yet bursting with gifts, Christmas displays & of course all of the garden items & plants you'll ever need. The whole experience from top to bottom is brilliant! They have a large carkpark with ample parking, a nice large indoor & outdoor garden centre, The Works is here & then you find a real treasure. The restaurant! We love to come every weekend for a spot of breakfast. It has great home cooked style food with very generous portion sizes at really reasonable prices. The cafe is airy & calm with designated dog seating for our woofer. It's nice to find a garden centre that isnt offering food that appears 'fancy' but is just overpriced rubbish. Here you pay for what you get & you get what you pay for. You'll always leave well fed. Stay the same & keep doing what you are doing Avenue. This garden centre is a gem!

Disappointed. Arrived early hoping for breakfast in middle of house moving. Not many people but a cooked breakfast took over 30 minutes to arrive. Sadly plates cold so eggs congealed from kitchen to table and other food cooling fast. Miserable and sullen staff (as they always are). Not motivated in anyway to help or engage. Made to feel like an intruder. Sad as garden centre is a good one and we visit often. We would go to the cafe more if they upped their game.

I cycled from Winchester with a friend who knew this garden centre whereas I was a stranger to the area. I love good ham but I am reluctant as too often you get reconstituted ham (compressed floor sweepings?) however my friend assured me it would be OK. It was more than OK. I had the Ham baguette. The ham was an absolute delight, off the bone, and the baguette was lovely. I found a member of staff and thanked them. My friend had a prawn baguette and thoroughly enjoyed that. Refreshed, fed and watered, well tea'd and coffee'd we cycled back to Winchester. A thank you to the friendly staff.

Food came out in minutes it had been put under heat lamps. My chips were warmish and my cheese burger was overcooked, burnt!!! Disgusting and even worst they had the cheek to serve it!!!. Would NOT Recommend AT ALL. Deserve A Zero!!!!!

We had a lovely afternoon here and have visited several times. I particularly appreciate the large size of the restaurant and well spaced out tables as you don't feel on top of other diners and can usually find a quiet table away from others, plus there's plenty of room to manoeuvre a wheelchair. The menu looks extensive but I appreciate being able to have a small snack such as a bowl of chips when taking elderly visitors who don't have a big appetite. We were also delighted to get rum & raisin ice cream here as so many other places seem to have stopped selling it. Service was good and cheerful. It's very refreshing to visit a family owned independent garden centre and we drove a fair distance to visit in favour of more local ones, which have been taken over by a chain and have become clones of each other. Other customers we spoke to had come from Odiham and Basingstoke and were clearly enjoying their visits too. The checkout assistant in the garden centre couldn't have been friendlier if he tried and had so much time for us, whilst the lady in The Works clearly took pride in her shop within the garden centre and was very friendly and helpful too. Well done to all the staff and we look forward to returning.

If you have all day this is the place to come if you dont mind waiting half an hour for a tea and a coffee. We regularly visit Alton and on the way we often stop here as my partner loves gardening. The garden centre itself is very expensive for what's on offer but we like the works and EWM so this offsets it. On our last visit there was no-one in the queue for the cafe so we decided to give it another try, we ordered a tea, latte and a small millionaires shortbread. There were several restaurant staff milling around and didnt look like they were doing much. There were other diners eating and others waiting for food, after 20 mins we asked a member of staff where our order was, its on its way and after 5 minutes it duly arrived. 25 minutes after we ordered it. In future we shall continue to Alton and either give the garden centre a miss or just bypass the cafe all together. Get your act together.

This was our first visit to this garden center and we were very impressed, there was an excellent range of goods available and the prices compare favourably with other garden centres we visit. The restaurant was clean and well organised and the staff very pleasant and helpful. The food was good and very reasonably priced. The toilets were spotlessly clean and had the advantage of having 'proper' toilet paper and not the awful thin tissue paper used by most places. There was a very good range of plants although if you are looking for larger shrubs this is not the place to go. They had a good range of fruit trees.There is also an Edinburgh Woolen Mill and The Works outlets. Also a small food area as well as the butcher's. All the staff were friendly and helpful.

This place is definitely not The Crown of Old Basing. We reserved in advance, were given a table in an area near the men's loos that stank of urine - nice. We asked to have another table, unsurprisingly there were plenty to choose from, and the owner said aggressively and with attitude 'yeah go where you want'. When one of us commented on his unpleasantness he said 'don't make it about me, I don't have to like you do I'. I've never come across such an excellent standard of customer service before! Needless to say, we left and went to another pub in Old Basing, The Bolton Arms, lovely, I can't recommend it highly enough, it is the exact opposite of The Crown!
