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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Such a wide selection in all departments.

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

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

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

Went there yesterday the scone I had was stale and had to take it back was given a replacement

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

Delightful place. Plants are amazing well looked after and vast choice. Coffee shop serves great food in a lovely setting

Lots of good products , not cheap but definitely worth a look.

Brambridge had everything a gardener could want. There was plenty of parking, a nice restaurant which we had lunch(although it sounded like the staff in the kitchen were having a competition throwing pots and pans at walls - what a racket!!!) The food was nice, I had a goats cheese salad which was a small portion for £13-. The garden centre itself had a lot of very nice plants with a good selection and all were extremely healthy and well looked after. There is another area of kitchenware which is also very nice, with a lot of luxury items which would be suitable as a present for someone. There is a toy section and a card section, so if you’re looking for a gift, this is the right place to go. I went with friends and we had a nice time ((apart from the pots and pans throwing competition in the kitchen). If you do eat in the restaurant, choose a table that is far away from the kitchen area!

The buffet is not perfect, but the gardening is great.

Lost of plants but they are so expensive there

Lovely garden centre abit more expensive than the average

great food, really good choice of plants, lovely setting and cute goats to stroke!

Beautiful garden centre but cafe and toilets especially need a major refit as look very old and unclean

Only had a quick look around this garden centre, but from what we saw, it was good. There are some areas for buying gifts, clothes, furniture and then obviously plants etc. It was all nicely laid out and tidy. Car park at front was large and no issues parking despite it being fairly busy.

Lovely to walk round and even grab a cuppa, cake or a meal.

Lovely garden centre,so much to look at some great ideas for presents,had ciabatta in the restaurant but was disappointed with these had a Philly steak which my daughter said was under seasoned and I had the tuna melt but was disappointed with that too,enjoyed looking round though

Very nice place , however toilets could do with a revamp and to be cleaned more frequently. But has more than what you will need for the garden, with clothing and cakes and lots more.

First time we had a meal at the garden centre cafe, Prawn Marie Rose Baked Potato tasteless, old potato, soggy salad. Signature burger raw in the middle and salad soggy. Cakes are fine here but certainly will not have a meal again. Not worth the money.

Blue Diamond must make a fortune from this gold mine of a garden centre cum cafe cum department store. It's always busy and you can understand why. Great plant and garden selection. Good cafe. Very varied range of gift items inside, particularly at Christmas. And goats too! Ps. August 2021. All change! The plant sections outside are relatively unchanged, but inside it's now just a series of soulless caverns. Shame.

Bought a couple of beautiful Calatheas at a reasonable price and had a perfectly OK cup of coffee. There were some lovely clothes on display too.

Plenty of choice on offer. Very efficient staff.

Lovely to sit outside at Brambridge for hot drinks and a slice of cake. Especially when the tiffin is amazing with lovely thick chocolate. Of course other cakes are available but very pleased with what I chose!!

An amazing selection of plants and garden materials, outdoor cooking equipment and a huge range of gifts etc. The main reason to visit, apart from the range of what’s on sale, is the staff. Really attentive and knowledgeable. Bravo!

We have been to Brambridge several times and the garden centre and shop are lovely and always well stocked and with a huge range. They have some great offers so you can find a bargain here. The restaurant can be very hit and miss though and on our last visit we were really disappointed. The lattes were great but the lunch and cake were both not great. The staff are lovely but some of the products let them and the garden centre down.

Fabulous! Great choice of plants. Amazing Quality. Lovely restaurant and huge shop. Well worth a visit

Lots of lovely things to buy. Cafe was great too. Look forward to going back soon.

Plants were of superb quality, staff exceptionally friendly and helpfull

Lots of interesting gifts as well as plants. Really nice restaurant too.

This restaurant is in need of a total refurbishment, the ladies toilets were disgusting & had a very unpleasant smell. Food was overpriced & disappointing, also hygiene standards not great . Will not use this restaurant again .

It's ok. Cafe food isn't amazing.

This is a very nice garden centre with a wonderful and varied selection of plants. There is also a great selection of indoor and outdoor home goods as well as clothing, cards, books, and a lovely cafe. The customer service is always very friendly and helpful. It is a great place to spend a morning. But I always end up buying more than I intend to!

Nice garden centre, great choice of plants, helpful staff and well stocked shop floor. Can get hot inside and it is a little manic in the first part of the shop where all customers need to follow same route (similar to IKEA method)- and it does get cramped on a busy day.

My friend and I love going there, love everything about Brambridge Garden Centre.

This is the third time we have been and I thought that the cleanliness would have been better. The cups had marks around the rim and the tea pot was not much better. The Waite is not good either, and the chair could do with a good clean . The only good think about this garden centre is the garden section, clothes and models. The cafe needs to check their crockery.

Was hoping for better, but sadly disappointed. Ordered x2 full English breakfasts, husband's was OK but nothing special.. mine well... fried eggs had x2 pieces of shell in, hash browns were under cooked, tomatoe was cooked one side and cold and hard the other, butter pack was put on top of he toast, resulting in a greasy mess when I went to open it. Black pudding was under cooked and gritty. As for my Earl grey tea... oh my!! The tea pot was dirty and badly chipped as was the cup, I had no where to put the squished strainer The table wobbled despite a solid base .... all in all ...not a great breakfast sadly. On a positive the lady that served me was lovely.

Really lovely! So much more than a garden centre. Great place to go for gift ideas and we loved the clothes and shoes too. Excellent plants too but a bit pricer than I normally pay for annuals. Definitely recommend though and great place to spend a few hours.

Always enjoyed visits to Brambridge, loads of new stock yummie food.

A bit pricey for breakfast but well cooked and tasty 👍

Shop bit overpriced, food in cafe always very good, toilets are a disgrace.

Great place to find inspiration.

Always think plants are overpriced here - but there are bargains, too, if you're prepared to search...

Great as ever, love the new layout indoors and plant selection was excellent.

Lovely garden centre overall with a beautiful restaurant. Plently of choice on the menu and reasonably priced. Quite large and filling portions. Amazing coffee. Will be going back. Defiantly worth a visit for a day out.

I always find the staff friendly and helpful and products well displayed

Felt like in the middle of nowhere when we stumbled across this lovely garden center. The restaurant looked nice although we didn't have time to go in this time

Plants, plants and more plants. Oh and plenty of ideas for gifts. Coffee shop is nice too

False advertising! Don't even bother going here, it's a complete waste of fuel. They said they were open on their Google opening hours but decided to randomly be shut with no notices yesterday. Wasted half an hour driving, £10 getting there and had a VERY upset 2 year old who was excited to see the goats. Very unimpressed, I will never be returning. If you can't even be honest with your opening times what the heck else are you lying about?

We visited the garden centre on Wednesday. After a long trek through several departments we arrived at the cafe. After choosing a table we had to move our chairs due to the rain which was dripping through the roof! The Cappucinno that I ordered wasn't very hot and I think you'd run out of chocolate sprinkles!!!! (It is listed on the receipt) The price was really high because you charge extra for oat milk......haven't come across another cafe that does this for alternative milk!! £3.75 for a cup of coffee!!!! Our first and last visit I'm afraid.

Great garden centre with high quality plants. More expensive than other garden centres but most of the time, you're getting great quality stuff

Lovely place. Always nice to meet up with friends for a coffee too

Had lunch and very disappointed with ploughman's, very poor quality for £11

Very nice but thought the price of cakes was excessive. Even at 14 slices it works out at £59.50 if you sell all the slices before they go stale. But judging by the comments that wasn't going to happen today.
