Blackbrooks Garden Centre Restaurant - Lower Dicker in Wealden

Oh this place has gone downhill !! Have been here before meeting family for coffee and browse. This time more things off menu, run out. What they had was cold. Tiny cups of coffee. Garden centre, low stock, plants dead or uncared for. Maybe they are closing down? We won't be back.

Both my grandson and I had the breakfast, my grandson didn’t want the sausage, tomato or the toast but couldn’t remove from the order. I asked for well done bacon but this didn’t happen, the mushrooms were nearly raw so I didn’t eat them and the toast was still very soft and hardly toasted, the half of a tomato needed to be cooked for longer. All in all not an enjoyable breakfast and not to be recommended based on this visit which is a shame as I’ve been going to Blackbrooks for a number of years and always enjoyed a lovely breakfast.

Proper flippin pisstake, lets be honest. The lightest of light lunches with nothimg to drink, no coffees, etc. Egg and cress sandwich £9.95 NINE NINETY FIVE FOR AN EGG AND CRESS SANDWICH...... Hot Quiche a tenner Ham, egg and chips £14 So that's no coffees or cake, which would have been almost a hundred quid. Have you completely lost your mind, I mean.. Are You Alright ? Can I see the eiffel tower or something ? Taking the PISS.

We opted for Smoked Cheese, Tomato and Onion Marmalade Paninis. They took an age to arrive, when they did only two of us received our food. The third had to wait a while again. The paninis were awful. Tasted of raw fish!!! Am now thinking 'cross contamination ' as they also prepare Prawn and Crayfish sandwiches. Not planning on eating there again.

Was travelling from Norfolk and was recommended this cafe for breakfast, what a disappointment, plate was swimming in grease bacon not even cooked properly rind was raw, mushrooms so black, took 20 mins to arrive yet only 4 people in cafe, would not recommend to anyone, can honestly say this was the worse breakfast ever.

A birthday lunch for my mum's 84th birthday. I combined a lunch for my mum with a look around this garden centre which she had not previously visited. We both had the baked potato with coronation chicken, salad and coleslaw I needed no dinner that day. Portions are large and this lunch was really filling a warm summer day meant we chose cold drinks and the choice is plentiful. Service was also very good and staff are friendly and welcoming.

Stupidly expensive poor quality food!. Paninis with no filling in centre, quiche and salad £9.80 … teaspoon of coleslaw.. the most pathetic miserable meal.. hapless staff .. please dont bother.

I ordered a toasted cheese sandwich which when it arrived seemed to have been made with nasty processed cheese. I was able to peel it all out from the sandwich as it was all stuck together like a gooey mess. When I complained about it, there was no offer to rectify the disappointing meal, no offer of exchange or discount. I then complained to the company through the website but got no response whatsoever. I will not be visiting here again nor recommending to anyone else.

Nearly £9 for a jacket potato with tuna seems quite expensive even in these inflation times. Came with side garnish of salad. The superfood salad was better value. Latte coffee was excellent. Good range of cakes although did not partake. Cafe inside and outside seating. Staff were friendly and service was efficient. Could have been a little warmer inside. So would go back but just think it could be improved in little ways. Maybe more like it’s sister branch in sedlescombe which feels more cosy.
