I went to buy a handbag that was a bit over priced but decided it’s better to support a local business. However when I approached what I thought was a till there was a woman behind a counter with a mask at-counter that looked like a till. The woman said to me “this isn’t a till love” no oh sorry this isn’t a till - however you can pay over there. As a result I walked off and didn’t buy the bag. However in contrast the cafe was lovely and we had a very tasty eggs benadict and tea. The cafe staff are lovely and friendly we will definitely go back to the cafe but I not be using the shop again. Avoid the shop but use the cafe.

This garden centre has a good quality range of outdoor plants, well displayed as well as gardening accessories. It’s indoor range of home and gift ware has recently been considerably reduced to make way for a range of women’s clothes. Whilst it all appeared to be reasonable quality and competitively priced, this is a shame and not what I would visit a garden centre for. We stayed for lunch, which was table service rather than queueing at the counter. Track and trace forms were required to be filled out at the entrance to the restaurant although the member of staff in charge was not wearing a mask and was not socially distancing. We still had to go to the counter to pay which seemed to defeat the object. The menu was more limited than usual but food was well cooked and presented and service was quick and efficient.

very disappointed in the hygiene precautions. One waitress kept pulling her mask down under her chin when talking to customers. At times she touched her nose. Customers were not required to sanitise their hands on entry and payment had to be made at a till near the servery and not at tables.

I had a day off from work and decided to have a wander around as you do sometimes!! I picked up some bulbs and other items and decided to have a lovely coffee and a bite to eat. I decided on a lovely beetroot wrap filled with tuna and other goodies which melted in my mouth. It was freshly made and the side salad was very fresh too, not like some places I have been whereby the side salad at times looks as if it had given up the will to live!! A lovely experience all-round which I can highly recommend.

I’ve only been to this restaurant 3 times. The first time I ordered soup and a roll. 45 mins later it still hadn’t arrived even though the restaurant was fairly quiet, when it finally came, after a prompt from one of the assistants who noticed I was still waiting, there was no roll. The second time we waited almost 30 mins and it was a little busier. The third time the restaurant was very busy with two large parties, we ordered and were served within a few minutes. Seems the quieter they are the longer you wait! There was also a member of staff openly discussing her wages with the supervisor for all to hear while we were waiting to order! Food is average and I think a little overpriced for what it is. Restaurant has no atmosphere with no cosy corners for a private conversation.

13 of us booked with some other 30 people, lots of kids waiting to see Santa. The kids enjoyed themselves. The food was ok, in a warmed up canteen sort of way, plates of white bread were given in place of toast - most unsettling. Cost cutting corners for sure and a far way off since the garden centre has changed hands. It is now part of Blue Diamond! Probably wont go back for food, I did however buy a lovely Sansevieria trifasciata...

Called here with several family members which is our first time since taken over by Blue Diamond group. I had big breakfast bap, my wife scone and jam and then for our grandson beans on toast. We had various hot coffees, mocha and hot chocolate. All very tasty, particularly breakfast bap with quality bacon & sausages, egg cooked to perfection

My friend and I arranged to meet here for what we thought would be a reasonably quiet time to enjoy coffee, cake and a private chat. No soon as we'd been served by the very pleasant staff were we disturbed - very noisily - by 2 sets of parents with their offspring. WHY do some parents believe that their 'time out' in any cafe/restaurant allows them to give free reign to their kids/allow their kids to run, noisily around disturbing all other diners (but not then!!) put their

Called here for lunch with a friend on a Friday. I had coronation chicken sandwich which came with crisps and coleslaw. My friend had gardeners spring green vegetable soup with egg mayonnaise & watercress sandwiches. We had a traditional tea and flat white as our beverages Very busy and had to queue for a while. I must say the quality of the coronation chicken sandwiches has dipped considerably! -they used to be so good but now decidedly average

Visited the garden centre and the café. Food and drinks were reasonable and my vouchers were accepted.

Called in with family members to both shop and have breakfast. I had the full english equivalent.My daughter had the veggie breakfast and my wife eggs beans & toast. We had flat whites and hot chocolate. Service friendly and food came out quickly. All looked appetising. And tasted good

Our party of nine visited on bank holiday Monday! When we arrived our table was put out near the soft play where we asked for and was all clean and well presented which was very pleasing, 3 of us had fish and chips and the fish was great and good portion but the chips were a tad greasy, all our other meals were ok puddings were good and a nice coffee! Prices were about par! Waitresses were very friendly, The kids loved the soft play which was safe and contained!baby changing was clean! Loads of parking but limited family parking! Had a walk round the shop and it stocks lots of nice products. Will visit again.

I had a quiche with salad and chips which cost £8.50. It was horrible. No love had gone into the preparation. Greasy chips. Salad hacked into chunks. Coleslaw sloppy and full of onion. Quiche was so tough I could hardly cut through it. I struggled to eat even a small amount leaving most of it. To be fair a lot of people were eating fish and chips which looked ok but I would not recommend the cafe on the basis of what I ate.

As nearby residents, and plotholders on the adjacent allotment, we are regular visitors to the garden centre and its restaurant.

I have been for afternoon tea with a number of friends over the past two years, usually with a Groupon Voucher and it has always been value for money with delicious sandwiches and cakes. I went with a friend last week and paid full price, which admittedly is not expensive but I expected the same quality food that I had had previously. The sandwiches where like truckers sandwiches. They were cut into quarters with the crusts left on and made with thick bread. The cucumber pieces were cut so thick that the sandwich would not stay together. The scone, jam and cream were fine but the cakes were nowhere near up to the usual standard. Will not be going again until I know it’s improved. May I add that the Staff were all extremely pleasant and helpful.

Stopped for a quick lunch. Told there would be a ten minute wait for food which was fine. 40 minutes later no food and when we enquired were told the machinery and microwaves were down. Food when it arrived was pretty bland and tasteless. Wouldn't go back.

This is a nice little garden centre, that is made better than most by the excellent food in the restaurant. It is probably worth a visit just for one of their cream teas !

Called here for lunch on our way back from shopping. First, I should say this place is an attractive place to eat-well designed and spacious. Customer service very friendly. I ordered a special of cornish pasty, chips and peas and my wife had ham and cheese sandwich with salad. There was nothing special about my “special”- chips were dry and tasteless as was the cornish pasty and hard peas , which from its appearance texture and taste had clearly been cooked in microwave. Would have rated, lower but for the fact that my wife’s sandwich looked good and she said she appreciated the quality of the ham. Will probably return as nice atmosphere and have had great sandwiches here in June and October last year but will avoid hot food!

We called in here on a very cold afternoon, we only had hot drinks, but the service was very good , friendly staff , very clean tables , free water available. Drinks were very nice

Called her with several members for a late afternoon snack on the penultimate Wednesday in November. My family had a variety of cakes and hot drinks which I understand were good. The last few occasions here I had ordered a coronation chicken sandwich, as they were so good. I ordered again the same again, this time rather than a cake, a big mistake! I could see when the sandwich and salad were delivered to my table It looked nothing like previous ones. Plenty of chicken but the sauce was a different colour and little of it, meaning the sandwich was dry. I didn't particularly like the sauce, which was more of dark brown colour. My cappuccino was okay. Would rate my experience as poor today but for the fact that the others thought there cakes were good/okay.

Three of us called here for lunch on a Wednesday .Really good choice of dishes on the menu .My wife had mushroom garlic soup with sliced bread and I had a gardener’s lunch soup and sandwich, which was tomato & basil and the sandwich had coronation chicken filler. I had a regular cappuccino .Our friend who was with us had an egg mayonnaise sandwich which came with salad and a coffee. Her dish came out in very good time, but I had to chase ours up after 16 minutes. A friendly & very helpful lady enquired of the kitchen where our dishes were and they came out shortly. The soups were really delicious and my sandwich one of the best coronation chicken ones I have eaten .Spontaneously staff said that management have offered us some free beverages because of the delay so my wife & I had a free cappuccino each. Excellent customer service-really impressed and not often experienced!

Called here for lunch with my wife and a mutual friend .Spacious restaurant and a good selection of dishes on lunchtime menu. We had coronation chicken, soup and bread and flat white .All well-presented and tasty once more. Friendly staff.

Desayunamos con la esposa y los dos teníamos el desayuno inglés completo. La comida era muy agradable y bien caliente. Sin embargo, tened en cuenta que es caro, si quieres tostada es extra y si quieres té es extra. Sólo teníamos el desayuno y el té y llegó en casi 20 libras.

Llamado aquí para el almuerzo con mi esposa, hija y nieto. Muy buen ambiente aquí y muchos asientos y adecuado para familias. Impresionado con el servicio de un pequeño problema con algo fue inmediatamente corregido y personal ir más allá para solucionar, superó mis expectativas. Teníamos pollo coronación y sándwiches de jamón y queso con blancos plana y un refresco - todo muy sabroso!

Yo y mi pareja visita más Sábados ni Domingos con mi abuela. El personal es muy acogedor y amable y educado y realmente no puedo hacer más para hacer de su visita una experiencia agradable! Sigue siendo nuestro lugar 1 calle de elección para un café y comida!

Now Wyevale Garden Centre ,last time we came here was terrible but when we called in on Saturday for afternoon tea it was so lovely,well presented and the staff couldn't do enough,will definitely be going back.I normally don't like scones but the Christmas scones were beautiful and melted in my mouth.

Mid morning afternoon tea visit.Last year we came and it wasn't great... This year was fantastic. A real improvement with the sandwiches and the scones were delicious. The Christmas scones had nutmeg, cranberry and orange inside. Could have definitely eaten another or two. Cafe busy would be worth a visit 10/10 Sorry photo taken after we finished :-) Yum yum

Called in here for lunch with my elderly mother ( in a wheelchair ) .Well what a wonderful experience , the staff are all friendly and very helpful .The food when it arrived was lovely . Hot and tasty , the cafe area was lovely and clean . Will definitely be back

My mother & I called for a reasonably early breakfast .Very good menu choice. I ordered the full english breakfast and my mother the traditional english breakfast. This was accompanied by a pot of tea and a flat white .Service was slightly slow at counter, but this was a very minor niggle as food came out quickly, looked very good and tasted just as good too .made a nice change having fried bread too as well as toast! .Couldn’t fault it .Flat white nice and strong

Called here to purchase some plants and for a light lunch. The garden centre itself is well stocked and laid out and is often our “first port of call” for anything in the garden! The restaurant is very inviting as always with very good customer service and friendliness I ordered coronation chicken sandwich on white bread and my wife the same, but on brown. My wife immediately noticed that her bread was dry. I was able to confirm this-she also said mine was too. Not good for both white and brown bread to be so dry! The coronation chicken filling itself was full of flavour, but hardly any chicken & mostly mayonnaise! However my wife’s pot of tea was good so was my victoria sponge cake and cappuccino .Regrettably an average rating overall here today!

Haven’t been here for breakfast for a while and took opportunity as a member of the Garden Club for the 2 for £8 breakfast’s .Really lovely seating area and very inviting. Counter meticulously clean and very friendly server. We had the 2 large breakfasts and large cappuccino and filter coffee. My cappuccino was tasty and appreciated it being hot! Great value with quality sausage, bacon, and tomato mushrooms baked beans, black pudding fried bread fried egg and toast! On the basis of today this restaurant is “on the up”

Absolutely brilliant.....three friends and I went there for afternoon tea. The service was brilliant....the waitress (I think her name was Melissa) couldn't have been more helpful. It was a wonderful experience

We called here to purchase some plants and to browse .The outside areas are well stocked with plants, shrubs ,seeds trees and other horticultural products and garden furniture Inside the variety of well stocked merchandise continues with the addition of gifts and novelty items etc.

If you fancy taking out a second mortgage, then you'll be able to eat here to celebrate. Lunch was abysmal. The latte coffee was extremely bitter and barely drinkable, the tuna and cheese sandwich was ok but the size of a thumbnail, the coleslaw was made in sour cream (why?) and the salad siding was a clump of iceberg lettuce that quite frankly looked like it'd been picked out of the bin. Then, you consider how much you've just paid for it all. For some reason, the ceiling lights kept going on and off. Then, on again. Never again. A totally miserable experience.

Severn of us went for my birthday breakfast we arrived just before 9 am ,The breakfast was on special offer very good and good value ,They could do with more staff.Just after we arrived there was a coach party so they had to waite a bit.It is a goodgarden centre and resturant .the resturant has a children area so can be a bit noisyThere is also a very good kitchen company on the grounds highley recommended

Very very average! Found the menu quite boring and not very exciting...plus it being quite expensive for what they were offering. I ordered a bacon, mushroom and cheese toastie, it came with a few crisps and a 'side garnish' if that's what you want to call it, it was pitiful!!

went here with my granddaughter, we went to the cafe for a drink, spent over £11.00 then got charged another £2.00 for the child to play for 10 mins while me and my husband drank our drinks. My granddaughter did not spend the whole time in play area as she also sat to drink. The next time we were out went to a place that doesn't charge so much for a 10 minute play, no we won't go back !

Visited the garden centre on a spur of the moment visit last weekend.We haven't been there in a while and couldn't believe how much this garden centre had gone downhill.The outside plants looked all in a sorry state and even the Ribbons the staff were tying on did nothing to help !!The staff were a bit of an unfriendly bunch maybe it was too much time standing out in the cold.There didn't appear to be as much choice in the giftware department as usual .We decided to skip the restaurant as it didn't look that clean.Disappointing as we only live a Stones throw away

Our family came here last Friday morning after we'd been to a funeral at Worcester crematorium. It was perfectly located for us to convene for coffee, brunch and a chat after the morning's proceedings. We had booked in advance and were pleased to see an area in the cafe had been set aside for us; the tables were decorated nicely and we received table service as there were so many of us. We ordered an array of breakfasts, from bacon sandwiches to a full English, all of which were well-cooked and brought out quickly. A special mention on the flat white coffee, very nice!The staff were efficient and friendly and, considering the circumstances, we had a nice time.

I visited last week and had a nice time. Pleasant atmosphere, helpful staff and enjoyed my lunch and scone. I would recommend it.

A super garden centre near WorcesterYou can simply go to the cafe and meet friends....great foodThe plant section is excellentGifts etc....very good indeedNice toilets too!Small soft play area for little childrenGarden furniture pretty good

The Worcester Heart Support Group walking section meet once a month for a walk followed by lunch generally at hotel, restaurant or pub.This month we tried something different and were pleasantly surprised. Our party of 21 were seated altogether at tables which had been pleasantly laid out specially for us and were pleasantly greeted by staff who throughout were most efficient& cheerfulMost of us opted for Sunday lunch which was a choice of Turkey or Beef both delicious with ample accompiaments & vegetables (limited choice but abundant quantity with staff repeatedly asking if we wanted more).Some opted for other choices off the board were equaly pleased. Puddings were to die for my personal choice was a white chocolate sponge which was not over rich but exceptionally deelicious & obviously home made.All this for £ 8.95 for the 2 courses, wine etc available & superb coffee.Overall we were very pleased and will no doubt return as a group or individually in the future.

We have been occasional regulars at Blooms now Wyevale Garden Centre. Breakfast has been good, lunch also. But it has had a make over.We went for lunch. Oh dear! New tables not attractive. Place not very clean. There were to trays of finished plates etc on our table - no-one seemed interested in coming to clear away (On one occasion a member of staff walked past on their way back to the kitchen, carrying noting and ignored them).I had sausage and mash which was OK but had an odd taste in the mash. I think it may have been curry but they don't serve curry, do they? My wife had the fish and chips which she has always enjoyed in the past. The fish was tasteless and the batter was thick, hard and bright orange.It may be a long while before we return - and we live just two miles away. A really disappointing visit.

This is a review for the cafe. I'll keep it brief. The food took half an hour from point of order until delivery - just what you need with a toddler in tow who had eaten his 'lunch box' by the time my food came - if you can call an order of something completely different arriving counts. The server didn't look overly bothered that I had been given fish instead of veggie quiche - I'm a VEGGIE and don't eat fish. She stomped off with it and another FIFTEEN minutes later the right dish arrived by which point I had lost the will to live as I was hungry and dealing with a bored child.I will not return.

I visited the restaurant with a friend and her two children. Before we sat down a grumpy member of staff came over saying "if the kids are playing you need to pay first". She was going to pay when we ordered as with every other time. Coffee and cake were nice, refills were available at a discount

went into the restaurant not knowing what the food would be like, we ordered our breakfast i had traditional and my partner had great british, it was served by the chef and she was very pleasant and helpful, the breakfast was lovely, we ordered to coffees which came with a smile. Overall nothing was to much trouble and they were very helpful. Spot on.

Went to the garden centre to browse round, we decided to stay for lunch, the meal was beautiful and good price, we met the chef she came out to make sure our meals were satisfactory. We will definately be returning. Many thanks

Visited recently and had a fabulous Sunday lunch beef was cooked to perfection. New chef i am told she is a credit to them.I will definately be back.

Went for cake and luxury hot chocolate. I am a gardening club member and therefore had my cake reduced ... The staff were very helpful and very pleasant and nothing to much trouble!! Looks clean and tidy after refurbishment but the sunshine was out so enjoyed seating outside !!

Me and my husband went to the garden centre for lunch, i ordered the fish and chips which was beautiful and my husband ordered the home made soup and sausage and mash, the soup was well presented and the bangers and mash lovely, i understand they have a new chef, well done.

Visited recently and enjoyed my experience. After the refurbishment i think things have improved, seating area looks far better, staff were very helpful and efficient and i enjoyed my fish and chips. Compliments to the new chef :) I shall be visiting again

Lunch time meal of quiche and salad was lovely and I asked for an extra shot of coffee which didn't seem to be a problem (it has been elsewhere) would eat here again and enjoyed looking round the garden centre

Ordered fish chips for other half, as seen someone else's. When it came it looked more like the size of a goldfish, chips were under cooked. Very poor.I ordered quiche, salad new potatoes.Wow if u blinked u would miss it, quiche was bland, tasteless, the salad was no salad just a few cress leaves, with a pansy for good luck or not.! Complained. The young lad tried to be helpful.That is not a salad as stated. Awful. We use these premises a lot, but seems since it had a refurb an change it is not up to the standerd of the price we paid. Most staff are not the same an the new ones don't seem to know fully what to do the Can't say I will be eating in again better value else where.

I went with my husband to use our 2 meals for £10 voucher. Being a vegetarian who does not eat eggs I was disappointed to find that the veggie choice was quiche, chips and salad. I asked if I could just have chips and a larger salad and was offered fish (I don't eat fish either). After some time of negotiating a lady who was on the coffee service area offered to do me a baked potato, beans and salad, which I accepted. This duly came and was adequate. My husband's coronation chicken salad, he said was very tasty.

Had a groupon offer cream tea for this place. We have been before for coffee and we where not disappointed with our cream tea. Good food, fresh and nicely presented. The staff are very helpful and nothing is to much trouble. We will go back again very soon and would recommend this place.

Went there for lunch on Monday. I had quiche,salad and chips. Salad fine, chips lovely but the quiche was horrible.It was over cooked. Tasted like it had been reheated in a microwave. I did eat it ( not the pasty which was inedible - just a discusting grey colour ) as we were in a hurry to get to an appointment. I did show the waiter (justin) when he walked past and he just said ok !!!!! No-- I'm sorry about that and I'll let them know in the kitchen !!!!! No way to get repeat customers

Went here for breakfast had the standard fry up .. it was actually very nice and good value for money.Nice comfy sofa to chill out on after with a nice cup of tea. Would definitely return

Nice surroundings and friendly staff but panini was burnt black - see picture. Not sure how it's possible to get something so simple so wrong.

Went here whilst having mother done down the road. Friendly staff and very helpful good array of garden plants and good accessories shop. Has breakfast in cafe fast service and very clean surroundings also got a garden card for wyevale garden centres so will use again.

Short staffing meant queuing and the staff that were on were exceptionally slow. We had to repeat orders for drinks and food several times. Little or no eye contact and generally poor customer service. The odd smile or friendly comment might help alleviate the painfully slow service. Shame you have to walk through the whole garden centre now to get to the cafe, though don't think I ll be returning!

Visited here on a Thursday afternoon to use our Amazon Local voucher for afternoon Tea for two .We were served egg mayonnaise and baked ham and cherry tomato sandwiches, with scone with clotted cream and jam, a square of chocolate brownie each and an individual pot of tea and a medium filter coffee. Service was good and friendly and we had only a very short wait before the food was delivered to our table. Everything tasted great and the scone was a surprise –it looked just OK but was one of the best I have had- full. of flavour! Very good experience here today

Stopped to have a look around the garden centre and saw menu for lunch and so as tempted by huge choice had a lovely lunch. Huge seating area, with an area for children to play, separate area if required for grown ups to be away from play area if needed. Seating is very decorative. The lunch was delicious and good value

This is a great place to meet up for coffee and lunch in very pleasant surroundings even if you don't want to purchase from the garden centre. Staff friendly, tables could be cleared a little quicker! but overall a nice experience.

We have eaten here on a regular basis for the last few years but recently it seems to have gone downhill. The menu has changed and not for the better. It is now only jacket potatoes and sandwiches with a few other items on the specials board. The staff are young and unexperienced. The meals were disappointing with very tired salad.

My friend and I met at 12.30, wondering whether to have lunch. I was surprised how quiet it seemed at a peak time. Compared with my previous visit, there seemed to be grey few people around. After looking at the menu my friend and I thought it pricey and even bypassed the cake, just having coffees. Serving us still seemed to take a while because the young man serving us was hampered at the till by a colleague trying to sort out a food order. We sat and enjoyed our coffees over a very long chat. As we were doing so, one lady staff member seemed to be getting by confused over food orders and as tables started to fill up it was clear that customers were waiting longer than they had expected.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the breakfast I enjoyed there, at 11 am. It was a reasonable price and it was varied and nicely presented- all appetising and there was plenty of it. I was on my own but felt quite comfortable with the friendly, 'family' atmosphere.

We like coffee and cake here sometimes and when the right chef was on duty the food was good. The service can leave a lot to be desired and as for the service in the garden centre itself, it doesn't exist. The gardening staff can be helpful but the staff on the tills are slow and more interested in chatting with their friends than serving customers.

A milkshake and coffee cake, a disappointing milkshake but fantastic homemade cake would defiantly recommend it! A friend had water and an underwhelming panini without pesto as there was none and not mozzarella as advertised just cheddar. Next time maybe just a coffee and cake :)

We dropped into the cafe after looking around the garden centre. We only had a coffee and it must have been stewing for at least an hour or more, it was very bitter. Looking around at the decor in the cafe it was apalling. Cheap plastic leather looking seats, a ceiling which was like the inside of a long decayed greenhouse and lights which must have dated back to the 1960s.The garden centre itself has good plants but the interior sales areas were cheap and badly designed. Constant tannoy announcement combined with poor quality music rounded off the expeience. The houseplants wer good.

Purchased tea and cakes and the clotted cream was 10 months out of date and looked and tasted terrible. I returned to the counter and told this is normal and ok because "it has been in the freezer".

First trip coffee machine broken. Ok have cold drink (fancied a latte but never mind) also ran out of fish for the fish and chips meal. Female staff at counter were apologetic and offered scampi which we accepted. Tartare sauce was awful though. The meals were smallish portion for the price paid. Second trip about 10 days later ... coffee machine still broken, no fish and chips either sense of de ja vu although this time sulky man on till. Asked him if we could have scampi instead his reply "we don't sell that". I said we had it about a week ago and he said well we've changed the menu. I think he couldn't be bothered to find out if there was any. We left and probably won't go back. Also extremely loud with young kids everywhere as ball pit opened !!

We went to the garden centre for a nice lunch with the grandkids, when the person on the till had put 3 teas down, when one of the pots was hot water. When going to get the refund, for the overpriced pot of "tea", we were told that the young boy on the till, that he could not give us a refund, as he did not have the authority. We waited for 25mins before getting cakes, and the duty manager was at the till. She was happy to give the refund, but refuse to, instead of putting it back on the card, knock it off the cakes. We then had to pay for the cakes, we decided in cash. She then gave us a stare of death, as we counted out all the small change and shook her head.

Took my mother for an impromptu visit to buy a few things and to have breakfast. Sort of self service, you order at the counter and your breakfast ,apart from drinks is cooked and brought to your table .Service was good and friendly but breakfasts were overpriced for what you get ,£7.99 for a large breakfast(more medium sized),Last came here for breakfast few years ago & quality of bacon & sausage ,not as good now . However the one Hash brown that I was given was very tasty. I noticed the price of cakes in the restaurant was high with a fresh cream cake almost £3! The garden centre itself is well worth a visit.

8 quid for a full English, took quite a while to arrive, hash browns were of the frozen variety, baked beans a mushy gloop, presumably kept in fridge and reheated., sausage was over cooked so skin was rock hard, eggs variable and were a million times hotter than the rest of the dish. Didn't try the black pudding. Service on the hand seems good , feel sorry for the front of house staff having to serve this slop.

Recently had lunch here. Terrible leek and potato soup over priced.We ordered Toast which never arrived. When we queried where it was, we were told extra slice of bread was with the soup! This was for someone else! Ham and cheese toastie was awful.Over priced all round.

We went on a Sunday and found that unless you booked a table it was self service, (if booked waitress service). Which we could understand as it was quite busy. We were served pretty quickly but found no vegetarian options on the menu, in the end the staff agreed to do baked potato without the bacon filling, then to come back and say they had none left, we ended up with a toasted sandwich, with cheese and onion, if your a vegan you may as well forget it. Although very pleased to see soya milk available. The service was quick and the food good, although a little expensive for what you got.Nice garden centre, and clean toilets.

We were well-catered for in every sense on a snowy Sunday at lunchtime. The car-park was clear which was good as we had a people in their 70s and 80s, in our party. We called in and had a very good Garden-centre lunch, shepherds pie and baked potatoes. The potatoes were huge and the fillings were more than adequate!We were expecting 'OAP' portions and we were pleasantly surprised.

The cafe in Blooms is very pleasant to sit and while away your time with a nice coffee and decent sandwich etc. We have been several times and the food has been good but not exceptional - the service used to be very slow but they seem to have sorted out some of the problems, and things run much more efficiently now. Ham and mustard sandwich with chips was good but have not had a full meal there although others eating at the same time seemed very satisfied with what they had been served. Worth calling in if you are visiting the garden centre and need to take the weight off your feet for an hour!!

Lovely venue, friendly service. Food could be better as just had a sandwich which I had to send back as bread was stale. They replaced without a problem though.
