Not really a proper review as we've never managed to get in due to the "gatekeepers" rather snotty attitude. I hope next time when I will "book in advance" that I get a chance to do a proper review.

The highlight of my trip was the food. I had a gorgeous halloumi and orange salad and it was so fresh and tasty. The halloumi was chunky and really well griddled. A really good cup of tea too - not a guarantee when out! We sat outside in the sunshine and it was most pleasant.

We booked a large party to celebrate a 40th birthday and family get together. Half of us had the Afternoon Tea which was delicious. The other half ordered off the menu and everyone commented on the great food. The service and staff were excellent, nothing was too much trouble. We were all delighted and talking about doing it again. Thank you to all the wonderful staff.

Difficulty trying to make initial reservation as afternoon tea must be booked atleast 24 hours in advance. On arrival staff were polite and friendly. Restaurant not overcrowded. Afternoon tea was amazing and well worth the price as a small cup of soup and chips were also included, a welcome addition in the cold weather. I would definitely recommend this and would return to try other items on the menu.

We were seated in the cafe at a table that was full of the previous customers cake and coffee cups. The table next to us was vacant too, but covered in the same. Whilst we waited for our coffee and hot chocolate, the table next to us was cleaned and ours was ignored and left covered in filth. The lady that served us seemed really inconvenienced by the fact that we only ordered 2 drinks and nothing else. We waited a long time to be served the drinks too, considering that's all we ordered. There were loads of staff serving, so I really don't think there is an excuse.

Having read many of the preceding reviews, my wife and I went along to the garden centre and had a snack over lunchtime on Sunday. Well, I must have caught them on an off day! The restaurant was ok; the service was pretty slow, though initial taking of order was quite quick. Waiting 25 mins for a cup of coffee and a soft drink wasn't really acceptable and although the food followed within a further 5 mins, the toasted sandwiches were tepid i.e. they had been sat on a surface awaiting collection. The glass served with the cold drink was grubby and when I asked one of the staff to change it for me, she looked at me like I'd asked for something outrageous and didn't actually say a word to me! The glass was returned duly washed. The general demeanour of the waiting staff was grim and unsmiling. The quality of the food was so-so. The service was pretty poor. Given that it wasn't cheap, I would have expected (and indeed have had) far better. Oh, one more thing ...... there are several 'hand made' notices dotted about the place and in particular one that refers to the behaviour of dogs - sorry guys this is a nonsense, particularly when you allow a bunch of noisy children to disrupt the peace! Unlikely to be back unless and until you sort yourselves out.

We went on a Sunday and would advise pre booking as we'd previously been unable to dine on other another weekend due to not being able to eat having not booked. Service was slow as it was waitress service taking orders and we had to ask to order and then told we weren't on the waitresses list so had to wait even longer to place order with another waitress Once order was taken food was served ok. Menu covers snack meals and mains and also a vast choice of cakes. We chose jacket spud and filling and sandwich plus side of sweet potato fries which were all beautifully cooked and presented.

Have been a few times now, staff always friendly and is a lovely restaurant. However, my food orders have had small mistakes, like ordering white bread and getting brown, or asking for crisps instead of chips, and getting neither. My only feedback would be a little more attention to detail. No one checks in to see if you need anything after the mains are given. Also, I've always been up for a dessert, but oddly they clear the table of mains after the customers leave. It means we don't get asked if we want desserts or anything else. Just small observations, certainly not enough to put me off going. But I think if it's table service, it shouldn't mean having to constantly try and grab attention for things like drinks and desserts. This has been on every occasion, so not just a one off. So yeah, a little constructive feedback, but overall lovely staff and nice food.

This is a lovely cafe with a great selection of cakes. There’s a simple breakfast menu, and the full fry up was perfect. The poached eggs and salmon was a little bit of a let down, with not much salmon and over cooked eggs on limp toast. Great coffee, and great service though. Looking forward to trying some of their other offerings.

Every aspect of this superb restaurant is delightful. The ambience, efficiency and friendliness of caring staff are a credit to the establishment. The prime objective of visiting is to eat well. We certainly do that in abundance. We have never eaten a meal that we have not enjoyed. The chefs in the kitchen work so hard, their efforts are greatly appreciated. There is a lady called Leanne who is in charge of the restaurant. She manages this extremely well. Sadly, she will be leaving shortly and will be greatly missed. We just hope that it will continue in the same vein.

All of my family love it here at Christmas and visit every year but don't normally see Santa because of the queues. Their grotto is always amazing and understandably very popular, my kids just aren't patient enough. This year I saw that could book and I'm so glad that I did. The grotto looked magical, the staff were great and really engaging with the kids and everywhere felt really covid safe. The virtual sleigh ride was brilliant too, a great addition. My children both said it was the best Santa visit ever! Much needed after this year, thanks Birkacre.

China Box is simply superb for Chinese takeaway. The dishes are consistently delicious, with a delightful authenticity that’s hard to come by. The beef and broccoli is particularly well done, with tender slices of beef and perfectly cooked broccoli, all in a rich, flavourful sauce. The vegetable lo mein is another highlight—full of fresh, crisp vegetables and beautifully cooked noodles. Portions are generous, so you certainly get your money's worth. The service is also first-rate; the staff are courteous and ensure everything arrives promptly and piping hot. Yes the prices went up cuz of covid but it's worth it and they try their best to keep it low which I kinda understand. The other Chinese places taste low quality. If you're after top-quality Chinese cuisine, GO TO CHINA BOX!
