Braintree Garden Centre in Braintree

Terribly overpriced for what we got. Ordered scampi & chips. Got 5 scampi & I wouldn’t even say a handful of chips. Cost £11.50 each totalled nearly £30. Could have gone in the pub next door for the same money & had a decent meal. Will never return for a meal.

Nice quick service, all of the food was correct and warm when it arrived, the waiters aren’t in your face but are happy to help whenever

Extremely friendly helpful staff! Called and asked them to hold a plant behind the till for me and they happily did! Many thanks to the staff that helped!

Great food nice to have area for customers with dogs friendly staff and lovely garden centre nice for lunch or coffee and cake, tables available and cleared quickly to allow others to be seated .

Had lunch with a friend and had a small dog with us. Really welcoming with dog friendly area as part of the main restaurant. Lovely lunch and excellent service. SO much better than the Stanway branch I visited 2 days ago where we had to sit in the freezing extension because of my 4 legged friend. Have also had excellent carvery here on a Wednesday. Well done!

The Sunday Carvery is absolutely amazing and great value too. Was extremely busy, but service was great, you get decent slices of meat (not the wafer thin slices that others give you!) and so many vegetables to choose from. Highly recommend

Have visited this garden Center on numerous occasions and have enjoyed the meals in the restaurant. The menu is good and varied on certain days they have a carvery, we haven’t had that but it did look very nice. An excellent thing about this restaurant is that they have a separate area for visitors who like to take their dogs with them, if someone is not keen on dogs it means they have a separate area away from them. The food is very good and reasonably priced and freshly cooked, the staff are friendly and polite. The garden centre itself has a great selection of plants and gardening items, a lovely place to wander around. The Christmas section is just being sorted and looks very festive already.
