Plenty of parking, good range of homeware and garden essentials but expensive. Spacious inside with a Christmas area and cafe. Difficult to find staff for help. Cashier was flustered as she made an error with the customer before me, so she needed to refund and start again, which took ages, then she was a little unfriendly /blunt with us. Good range of plants, shrubs, trees, and these seemed reasonably priced.

Great garden centre. Been coming here for years. Used the like the cafe/restaurant but changes made over the past year are quite disappointing. Having to wait for 10 minutes for a coffee after paying at the counter is not good. Used to take two minutes to wait at the till and take it to the table with you. A backward step. Cafe interior feels dull now compared to other garden centres. Will visit again but won't use the cafe. Shame as it's our nearest garden centre.

Stopped on drive home as just off the M25. Nice place but strange food times. At 11 15 could not do the pancake breakfast as it ended 1100. So asked for a sandwich and that starts at 1130. Like 30 mines of nothing but drinks. Just a bit strange. Anyway food was good and nice place. .

We did not intend to stop here on our journey home but I am so glad that we did. We,(4 of us) took advantage of the restaurant on site which was lovely and spacious and had a good selection of food to choose from. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The garden centre itself is huge with a terrific variety of products. Well worth a visit. You will not be disappointed.

Whilst consuming a very indifferent cherry scone a waitress came up to me and asked me what did I think of it? I told her I didn't like it, she replied "nobody else does either!" Apparently the Cook likes to experiment, that she can do but not on paying customers surely?

Excelent selection of plants, family Caffè and shop with a variety of items from all you will need for your garden, to gifts, cards, pampering items, clothing, pet care section, homemade food for sale and much more. During Christmas I used to take my son to post his letter to santa there and we still go for a visit to Burston during Christmas to get everything we need for special events, gardening and Christmas. Or just for a nice afternoon out. You can take your dog too!

Now, if I have to choose a garden centre, then I would certainly raise both arms to this one! I’ve been visiting this centre for some 45 years! And notwithstanding the fact that it’s an around 30 mile round trip, it has the variety of flowers, shrubs, trees and much much more. And friendly, knowledgeable staff that makes the visit not just that regular visit, but an event! And their Christmas trees are amongst the finest, and with over 4 decades of buying ‘Santa’s trees, some 4 each year, I think I’ve said it all!!

On my recent visit to burstons restaurant, I was surprised to see lack of cakes, lack of personal touch. There was no atmosphere, no colour, tables were bland, used to have flowers on the tables that brighten it up. Cutlery you now collect, before it was part of custoner service. We ordered jacket potatoe and 3 times we sent it back, cold each time. The manager came over and was extremely rude. I spoke to Jill who seemed to listen and take into account all that I said and would look into it... The restaurant has changed from a restaurant and tea room, to a cafe. Not the service I expecting. I have been coming here over a year and it's lost all the atmosphere over the last few weeks. Really hoping it will change back I come at least 3 times a week.

An okay garden centre with an extensive range of plants and other items. If you like plants you'll probably like this place. My reason for rating it 3 stars, however, is two-fold. Firstly, I am an avid visitor of garden centres (because of my mum really) and have been to much better ones - I mean this both in terms of the range of items and the food options at the cafe. Secondly, the items here were rather expensive in comparison to it's competitors. So, overall I'd say this place is just alright, but I won't be going back.

Has an aquatic centre so automatic 5⭐️ But lovely little garden centre, bit of pain to get out onto the 414 if it's busy but just have to floor it 😉 Cafe was very busy so unfortunately didn't manage to visit that. Loads of indoor plants however, with loads of helpful advice around on what ones to get/ how to care for.

Mother’s day lunch was an absolute shambles. Took an hour for our starters to come and when they did it was thoroughly underwhelming - Soup and half a baguette, pate with a single slice of toast , and a mushroom which was all cold by the time it arrived. Waited another 40 minutes with no sign of our mains or our plates being cleared so cut our losses and left. Young staff moping around didn’t seem to care no one was getting their food. Why have a preordered set menu if it isn’t prepared for when people arrive!!! Dreadful.

Really sad visit today. There are no signs at or near the santas grotto to say you have to pre book. There was no queue. After sat fir a few minutes we were told wgats your booking. We had to then explain to our daughter why she couldn't visit santa. May I suggest putting a sign so other parents don't have to disappoint there child. I usually love this garden centre, but today you've severely disappointed and let down. Adited to add: Jill has emailed me And has basically criticised me for not avidly following them on social media. After I responded she has then gone on to say there is signage. I have highlighted a problem that signage is not obvious or clear and all Jill from burstons has done it criticised me and make excuses along with critiquing masked by empty apologies. Not a nice attitude from Burstons at all! Clearly they are not going to make any improvement on this, which is very sad.

Ordinarily I love this place! But I witnessed such awful treatment of an employee that I’m shocked! This female burston staff member started yelling and publicly embarrassing one of her burston coworkers on his lunch break in the cafeteria! I could see how embarrassed the boy was, I felt very sorry for him! Need to train your team to do better and have respect for each other. If he did something wrong you tell him quietly! Ruined my lunch!

Ordered the full breakfast except the black pudding (not keen), changing the order was not a problem. The food arrived fairly quickly, was presented nicely and tasted amazing. A member of staff appeared to check that everything was ok, and then left me alone to enjoy me breakfast. If you want a treat breakfast, highly recommended

It’s a lovely building set right in the heart of the town centre. That being said you could literally go to this place for twenty years and the staff would still not interact with you; and or acknowledge you’d ever set foot in the place before. To say most of the staff are sullen and don’t appear to want to work there is an understatement. Tacos are very good and would recommend everything on the menu.
