Brambridge Park Garden Centre Restaurant in Winchester

Easy parking good selection of plants. Nice restaurant fantastic cakes.

Well laid out, lots of choice and the plants are of excellent quality.

Good selection of plants but a little pricy

Visited the local garden centre for a spot of lunch and looking for present inspirations. Brambridge has a wonderful range of items ranging from the home to garden and toys, not the cheapest but some interesting items that you won't commonly find on the high street. Also prices are higher vs your local B&Q/wickes etc but the range and quality surpasses anything you can find there so well worth it if you are after something special. Also visited the on site restaurant, very busy at lunch time so grab a seat where you can, ordered 2 toasted ciabatta, one ham cheese and tomato, the other a ranch chicken, bacon and cheese, both served with salad leaves and crisps. Came out quickly even though it was busy, the lady offered a choice of dressings that was a nice touch if you don't like dressed salad. The salad was fresh and fine enough, crisps were ready salted and nothing special. The ciabatta was a good size, warm and filling is adequate for the price/portion. Couldn't taste the bacon in mine but otherwise was tasty.

Very pleasant and helpful staff. Range of products is excellent. Cafe is good, especially for cream teas!!

We go here quite often for our garden supplies. Staff are very helpful and lots of choice from a plant perspective. The restaurant is also great and serves nice food.

A nice garden centre with a good range of plants, garden things and other stuff including home made items, clothes, candles etc there us some lovely things here. Some goats and a small train (Easter - October, Saturdays & bank Holidays, extra cost but not much) do good for the kids too.

Brambridge is a lovely garden centre, big variety of plants and a lovely cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. It's very popular so gets very busy, it's also fairly high end I would say, so it tends to be a bit pricey but they often have offers and the plants are good quality.

Many items to look at wonderful.plants and a very good restaurant with great choices

Over priced breakfast - if you can find your way through the IKEA styled route through the garden centre then paid over £34 for 2 English breakfasts - brown sauce on request only! Never again.

Shock! A big DOG sat at the table on a customer seat, head over the table! The fact that this lovely place is situated in the middle of the countryside where dogs walk & do their business. to then allow it to sit witt it's behind on a seat someone will sit on, is disgusting, unhygienic and appalling!! Do people place their naked bottoms on seats? I am a dog lover, but would never allow my dog to sit at the table. Come on Bambridge, that's going too far!!!

Love this place bit expensive but the plants are very healthy and they even got petting goats out the back.

Bought a plant na put for mother's day present and was very disappointed to find we had been charged separately for both the plant and the pot when they were together on the display and it was far from clear that they were separate items

Lovely garden centre with loads of different plants garden bits and more . There are resident goats here who are awesome to visit . Plenty of parking and a cafe for refreshments.

If you need a particular plant, you are sure, that you will find it: it's a very well equipped shop!

Lovely garden centre, everything you need, also nice cafe.

A nice, if not very distinctive experience. Didn't shop for plants today, but bought gifts for mothers day. A good range of gift items, but the price can vary when it comes to value, i find. It isn't a large building by any means, but they do cram quite a bit in. Had lunch in the restaurant, which was also good, but maybe not worth the 23 pound for one main, an apple juice and a sponge slice. It does however have a better outdoor seating area than other garden centres nearer me.

Great cafe, good selection of plants and other sundries

Lovely garden centre with a nice big cafe with a pleasant outdoor area. The staff are all approachable and nice. Only minus a star as the toilets are very dated and not in a great state.

A nice garden centre with a reasonably priced cafe. The latte was £3.50 for a regular size with many seats outdoors

Excellent service in the restaurant

Love it here. Great selection of gifts and clothes x

Brilliant quiche and the freshest salad I’ve had for ages! Pauline, the waitress was lovely and very helpful.

This garden centre actually sells plants.. sure they have the usual clothing, gift items and toys but they also have a good range of plants outside and general gardening goods inside.

A deceptively large and spacious garden centre. It has a very good selection of all sorts of items at a reasonable price. The restaurant has a good selection of food and cake again at a reasonable price.

Always friendly but very expensive. I never come away empty handed. You can get some decent sale trees and shrubs. The toilets are a bit tired. Given the prices in the shop and restaurant they could spend some money on them.

Great little place to have a browse round on any day of the week come rain or shine. Cafe is large and a good selection of food staff polite and helpful. Car park is big and has lots of spaces too.

One of my favourite places,great cafe ,toilets and so much to buy.

Really good for an outing with kids because they have the trains and birds of prey if you go in the summer. There's also a great river walk nearby. The garden centre has everything you need and staff are very helpful and knowledgeable on their plants. The cakes are a little disappointing in the cafe but the rest of the food and drink is great.

I had Croque Madame which absolutely delicious with Tasty strong cheese succulent ham with just the right amount of mustard and perfect seasoning. Thank you

Lovely garden centre. So much choice. Good quality.

We love going here for coffee and teacakes Friendly staff and good coffee

Perfect place if you want to get busy in the bushes with your girl

The garden centre itself was nice, spacious , had plenty of choice & generally a decent one xpwrience, so this could be a 4 out of 5. The cafe however is a 2. We stopped off after a walk. We had 4 hot sandwiches and 2 drinks ( about £52). The sandwiches were really poor, whole panini, not cut, hardly any filling, we also bought a beetroot side salad, which was the worst thing me and my partner had ever tasted, like purple slaw coated in raw curry powder, it was really bad and tiny. We swapped crisps for chips with 2 sandwiches for an. Extra £5, the cops got left as they just weren't that good. The teapot was badly stained, one of the cups had a crack in it. The toilets, omg, for a food outlet and a decent garden centre are an absolute disgrace, like a dodgy pub from the 80's on a good day... They are in need of full revamp. I definitely wouldn't recommend the cafe. On a positive they do a blue diamond loyalty scheme for drinks so if you collect stamps that's a bonus. There are better garden centre coffee shops close by. The garden society is lovely and the one in the way into Fair Oak has just been re-furbed and well worth a try. Give this one a swerve

Nice food. Excellent service from all in the restaurant.

Nice place to buy plants. Nice cafe

We went to Bambridge mainly to see the Christmas displays which were very good. We also had lunch which also was good and tasty served in good time in some nice surroundings despite the staff being very busy and cheerful. Overall a good experience and would visit again.

Great range of stock, especially around Christmas time.

Loved the singing reindeer and the choice of Christmas decorations was spectacular. Lovely Christmas village with moving parts, pretty expensive though. I did get some bargain planters and the staff were very good

Always packed with people who don't know where they are going. The cafe is horrendous. Food is completely flavourless and overpriced. £14 salad was lettuce with afew croutons and boiled chicken. Place is so loud and never clean enough. Videos shown were taking on a Monday. Can't imagine how busy a weekend would be.. You can tell this was made for old people with no taste buds and too much money to handle. Goats r cute tho. Good for kids if you're rich asf Full review of the entire place available on my YouTube: @cordelia_cooke

Nice place, but it's adopted the classic Blue Diamond one-way system. If I wanted to shuffle along, shoulder to shoulder through giftware, I'd drive a few more miles to IKEA. UPDATE..and now the queue to the tills is like Primark.

Good selection of products helpful team

Given the weather this weekend I visited the garden centre on the recommendation of friends to see the singing reindeer and the decorations. I’m assuming that the staff failed to get the memo on ‘Xmas cheer’ as not a smile could be found on any of them. Having sat to have a bite to eat I can only guess that given Santas age and the fact he’s had his winter fuel allowance cut - he feels it necessary to make his money robbing visitors on ‘upgrades’ to their lunch. For just £2.50 you can add chips instead of crisps to your hot sarnie……..that gets you 10 cold chips to accompany your cold ciabatta!!

Amazing Christmas displays with a fab breakfast too.

Beautiful place to browse, but expensive and far too many badly behaved whining kids!

Sadly they are lacking on their Christmas decorations for sale this year, with very little choice and offering the same options for over 5 years in a row now. It's boring, a real shame. Staff are absolutely amazing, though, and couldn't be more helpful.

Great shopping and nice tea room. The Christmas displays and range of products are fantastic too

I always visit Brambridge at Christmas time to top-up my Christmas decorations as I believe they stock the best selection in the area. The only slight problem with this visit was it was very busy and the queues at the tills were horrendous. (But it was a Friday afternoon...)

We recently visited Brambridge and while the garden centre itself was beautiful we found the restaurant to be an uncomfortable and disappointing experience. While waiting at the till, I noticed that the workers were no longer serving at that station, but I wasn't sure where to go or what to do next. I stood there for a while without being acknowledged. It would have been helpful if someone had explained where I should wait or directed me to another counter. While the food and drinks were good, I felt the lack of attention made the experience less enjoyable. I would recommend that the staff be more proactive in guiding customers, especially when there are changes in where to order or pick up. A little more communication could go a long way in making the experience smoother for everyone.

This visit was made in the run up to Christmas. Set up for Christmas, almost any declaration and gifts for most people are available A very good and large garden centre. Outdoor area for garden plants , ornaments and many more items for the garden Inside area for clothes, bird seed and feeders, garden tools also kitchen utensils just to name a few Restaurant serving a selection of meals and snacks.with large inside seating area. There is also outside seating for the brave or better weather. March 2023 Plants have arrived for the Summer etc. Very good selection.

Great restaurant and decent garden centre close to lovely river itchen walk

I have been coming here since I was a kid. It is easy to get around and there are fun things like goats for the kids to look at.

A beautiful garden centre. Always love coming here with my little dog. Lovely café and a lovely place to de-stress. Fully recommend.

Best for plants. A great selection of good quality and well priced shrubs and trees. Helpful and friendly staff.

What a nice find. Although I was in the area for ages, only stumbled across this recently. Good coffee and cake in a large restaurant.

Such a lovely display of Christmas bits, was a a delight to visit and loved the singing reindeer

Fabulous garden centre with everything you’d want for a wander round on a Sunday afternoon! A great selection of indoor and outdoor plants, gifts and homewares.

Excellent Christmas displays already.

I love coming here its so relaxing and lots to see. Beautiful displays And a lovely new winter drink Bakewell latte.

Wonderful bulb selection now waiting for a colourful spring.

I absolutely love this garden centre. The staff are always so willing to help on all fronts. They are always incredibly easy to approach when in need of knowledge and information. Not once have I been let down. A wonderful garden centre , and full to the brim with wonderful goodies.

Great hot chocolate! Lots to see and buy

Great to walk around seeing all the Xmas things lovely clothes to. Went for a 🍰☕️ was really nice BUT the service was diabolical the lady that served us was so rude !!! Would not go to cafe again,!!

Excellent service and staff very friendly, good customer service. All in all, the best place to be

Huge variety of plants, very helpful and friendly staff. Restaurant's food and service is great

All sorts of stuff you didn't know you needed. A very pleasant afternoon out with nice tea rooms. Good for Christmas present shopping. Easy parking.

Price's can be expensive. Went to buy a small cherry tree but they were asking £60 for it. Well out of my price range

Lovely place but wicker chairs in restaurant very uncomfortable

Never fails to deliver. Always a pleasurable experience.

Such a wide selection in all departments.

A superb garden centre with so much fabulous merchandise on offer, and lots to see and experience.

Lovely garden centre , nice food and coffee.

Omg we love this garden centre. We now live in West Cornwall and certainly would love to have a Brambridge there. Such lovely items, nicely laid out. Good spacious car park and brilliant you can take a dog too. Thankyou.

Nice garden centre. Lots of parking and nice range of goods.

A great cafe. The perfect place to meet friends and enjoy tea/coffee and cake before wandering around the amazing garden centre.

Great garden centre and gift shop. They have a wide range of indoor and outdoor plants, gardening accessories, furniture and clothes. A nice cafe too. Lovely Christmas displays which they are just starting to build. Plus, loads of free parking.

Took my mum today for her birthday and wanted to treat us to lunch rather than just coffee and cake, unfortunately my hot chocolate was not hot which was changed to a hot one, mum’s jacket was ok but nothing special, the toasted ciabatta with ham, cheese and tomato was vile, bread was wet and soggy under the ham , not from the tomato, cheese was tasteless and hardly any , it looked microwaved not toasted , salad undressed, crisps were the best part , think I paid about £9 , waste of money, won’t be returning unfortunately I actually couldn’t eat it , unpleasant, very disappointing, how can you mess up a toasted sandwich !!!

Good little cafe for a nice afternoon catch up with friends. Had a look around the garden centre and treated myself to a nice plant. Good service

Good value and delicious lunch, sat in comfortable chairs in the garden area. What could bebetter

Excellent selection of plants and interesting house/garden things. Lovely cafe!

Lovely centre, so much to look at, and buy. Superb roast too

Huge range of plants, nice cafe too.

The garden centre it’s self is lovely however the staff my mother and I encountered in both the centre and cafe were extremely rude and not helpful at all, when asking for plan food, just cheese baguette I was told that if it’s not on the menu she won’t do it.. however baguettes very much were on there and went asking if I could have something else minus one item as I couldn’t eat it she refused. The service at the counter was just extremely unpleasant

This morning went for coffee at Brambridge in some trepidation reading some of the very poor reviews. I hadn’t been for many years. It obviously doesn’t compare to Haskins in West End, and the walk you are forced to make in order to get to the restaurant is absolutely ridiculous. However, the food I had was fine. The cakes though did not look at all appetising. The toilets were absolutely spotless and d so the poor reviews on that score clearly have helped. Because of the tedious walk to the restaurant I won’t be in a hurry to return.

The garden centre is pleasant to walk round with a good selection however the cafe is expensive although the hot chocolate was very nice and hot

I love this garden centre! It has a huge range of products (not just garden-related) and is a great place to buy unusual gifts. It even has its own branded "Cerulean", very nice and inexpensive clothing range . It also has a lovely restaurant. Well worth a visit.

Lovely selection of stuff to browse. Had a nice coffee

Staff brilliant and lots to look at nice coffee

Pleasant spot for breakfast but let down the gents toilets. Years out of date, smelly and generally dirty. The hand drier has only candle power level of drying. Manager should vist "In Excess" to understand what is a welcoming toilet.

Nice garden centre. Lots of variety. Plants, kitchen stuff, seeds, tools etc. Toilets ok. Cafe quite nice, all a bit pricey. Good carpark. Scenic walks along the river Itchen close by.

Good range of plants. Spacious both inside and out. Dogs still welcome, which is a great help. Check to make sure you get any discounts advertised on the shelves, when you get to the till. On 13/8/2024 we went to have lunch at the restaurant but found no seating in shade, and the orangery was too warm, so we had to go home for lunch. There was plenty of seating but no sun shades available - some of the sun shades looked to be broken.

Fabulous place this was my first visit but won't be the last. Lovely cafe onsite definitely worth a visit

We visited the garden centre today as a party of 5 adults and a baby. The restaurant staff were very accommodating and as it was a very hot day they found us a cool spot for the baby. The food was excellent and well priced. My husband has a garlic allergy and the supervisor and chef could not have done more to help us unlike many other restaurants we have visited . The shop was well stocked and the plants were well looked after. We had a ride on the train which was also brilliant and the staff very knowledgeable and helpful. The centre and restaurant have 5 new converts and we will all return. Can’t thank you enough

Lovely cafe with l8vely, friendly staff

Great garden centre, lovely tasty lunch with family, great service and atmosphere 😀

Well I think this garden centre is a very sexest shop loads of lines of clothes for the female and not a male section at all ,it's as if the male species walks around naked and doesn't wear clothes,will not be returning, i understand it's a garden centre but if your going to cater for women it should also cater for men also especially in this day and age . Very poor

Always brilliant. Don't even mention Christmas.

Now you are directed to walk around a one way (IKEA like) system to get to the Garden plants; with NO cheap meal incentive at the end :-(

It's a lovely place , with lots to see and bye 💛

Lovely coffee and toasted tea cake. My friends bought clothes, lots of plants as well Really well stocked garden centre
