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.

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.

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 Years out of date, smelly and generally dirty.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.

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Due to new sales-boosting layout of garden centre, it is impossible to walk straight through to the restaurant- reminiscent of IKEA, which I no longer frequent. I had the breakfast sundae which was rather disappointing- granola was very dry and yoghurt so thick that it was very hard to eat. And although menu stated “fresh berries”, there were none. My husband had fried eggs on toast, which he really enjoyed. Pleasant staff and speedy service.

Haven't been for a while to the place. The garden center looks lovely and clean as it seems to have had a refurbishment. As we were there for an hour or so, after a while we had to use the toilets (ladies) in the restaurant. Dear lord! They smelled of urine, there was toilet paper on the floor, dirty sinks, and dirty hand driers - which clearly have not been wiped for a while - Even though there were lots of signatures behind the door stating that the toilets were checked, we couldn't help but wonder what is actually "checked"!? Maybe the next refurbishment could be the toilets?

Well appointed garden centre and restaurant. The large car park is also convenient to stop on in, for a walk along the river Itchen in either direction. This gets a bit crowded at the weekends and summer holidays and floods if the river is high. Now refurbished inside. You have to walk through the houseplants, household goods then ladies clothing to get to the gardening stuff, then there's no going back. Excellent range of garden plants, including veg, bedding and perennials. The garden at the back has been refurbished and the goats' enclosure enlarged Still extremely dog friendly :) There is a short, circular walk by the river (turn left as you come out of the front door) as well as the Itchen Way nearby.
