Butts Green Garden Centre & Cafe in Stafford

Stopped off for coffee here but promptly left after being told an Oat latte was £4.25. I honestly couldn’t believe it. Talk about day light robbery. Sorry but compared to other places this is a joke. You are just ripping people off.

We visited this garden centre a few years ago and we're in the area again, so thought we'd drop in for lunch. The menu was varied, but quite expensive. I've never been to a garden centre and seen a meal for £22. I think it was salmon. The plants looked a bit sad too, and not very well looked after.

We were looking for somewhere last minute that was still serving breakfast and we stumbled upon this place that we’d never visited before. The welcome was very friendly and we were sat outside amongst flowers in the peace and quiet which was lovely. Ordered a full English and a sausage sandwich and have to say both were delicious, especially the sausages! We were allowed an item change on the English breakfast which is unheard of these days and no trouble for them, and also a drink off menu, so that was greatly appreciated. All the staff we encountered were really friendly and polite and we’d definitely return!

Expensive but worth it for the peace, Yes I can see that people complain about it being expensive but when you sit here in the sun and it’s quiet it’s worth every penny

Dreadful. Drinks came out fairly quickly. Then toast which was cold. The meat breakfast came out after some time & then i waited & waited. Partner had nearly finished & my Veggie breakfast came out. I pointed out it had been rather a long wait before I got an apology. I then asked for a free coffee & the waitress said she had to ask but I did get one. Felt so fed up by then & partner had finished. Toast all very cold by that stage still on my plate. Most went in a doggy bag which I took home for the seagulls. An expensive waste of time!

Out for a Sunday drive we discovered this fabulous cafe! It is just perfect! Avocado & poached eggs on sourdough toast very tasty and moreish. Full English spot on. Will definitely be returning.

£30 for a sandwich and tea for two Regular visitors , can’t understand how they got to that price It’s not possible to be that expensive

Doubled the prices since last year scandalous prices now. More over priced than food in London or on the coast. This is a garden centre in the middle of nowhere !!

Took some friends here for afternoon tea, the setting was lovely and the service was very good, but the food was only average. The sandwiches looked messy and you couldn't tell which was which. The cakes and the scones were not that fresh, a little bit hard. I have paid allot less and had better at other places. I would certainly come again for a snack as its a lovely place, but I wouldn't recommend afternoon tea.

Nothing but good freshly made food and it's CAKES (mmm), service can be a slow but they manage and the staff are friendly, visited a few times this year (2022) always the same re service, inside and out seating, sometimes a bit slow to clear tables but the food makes up for it, and the garden centre itself isn't large but it's good. Worth a visit if your in the area it's not that hard to find but it's definitely ticked out of the way.

Love the cafe at this garden centre, it's a bit of a hidden find unless you know the area but worth seeking out. Had a lovely slice of coffee and walnut cake and it was just perfect!

When we are riding in the area, this is our go to place for a pitstop. It was cold today so the chance for a cup of tea and bacon sandwich was very welcome. The cafe is excellent with seating both indoors and outdoors.

I visit Butts green when ever friends or family suggest brunch or lunch it’s fab . Plenty of parking and great plants and a real plus delicious fresh coffee Lovely menu with proper specials often made with ingredients grown on site . Deli attached last time I visited I bought freshly made beetroot scotch eggs outstanding Lots of out door seating but also inside friendly helpful stuff

Fantastic staff and food for tow adults and young baby who they were very accommodating towards. Would go again and tell others to go.

We had a lunchtime snack of toasted sandwiches and coffees. The food is good, freshly prepared and tasty. Nice setting. Compared to other similar garden centre restaurants in the area we felt it was on the expensive side. (The garden centre itself is small, and while many of the plants looked fine, some were "past their sell by date")

Regular haunt for great food coffee and service. Luckily we live quite nearby so visit on a regular basis . Over recent months an amazing job has been done to make it COVID safe with the ever changing rules Lovely place to also find gifts and plants of course

First time I had been here, very helpful staff and excellent homemade cake, my grandson aged 3 said the chocolate brownie was “very tasty“. No problem with social distancing Deserves 5*

Looking for a lunch venue that was open but not too busy. First visit here and lovely setting in garden for the cafe. Great food and pleasant helpful service. Had the quiche really good. Will visit again.

Really cute place, so warm and cozy, quick service, lovely staff, the breakfast was huge and really really good.

Great stop. We were on a Thursday country cycle ride and popped in for cake and tea but this quickly changed to bangers and mash for me and a generously filled bacon sandwich for my mate. If I were a local I’d definitely make this a regular get away. The fire and cooking smells added to the very comfortable ambience and it was difficult to go back out into the cold and continue the ride. Lovely staff as well .

I cannot speak more highly of the food and service. It was extremely busy and the ladies were very polite and friendly . I have never had a better breakfast and trust me I have eaten in some good cafes. Personal charming. No wonder you come highly recommend .Well don we will be back

Excellent Breakfast plenty of choice and great service. This is the sort of place you could go for breakfast and stay on to have coffee and cake. With the weather outside not that good the log fire and warm welcome is great. I had the full English and it’s one of the nicest things I’ve had recently. Definitely recommend this place for breakfast and lunch

Arrived for late lunch 24th July, having checked 4.00pm closure on website, and at 2.40pm, confident of being in time for 'last orders' for hot food. Double gates closed, but not locked and no notice on them. Drove round corner to see if alternative entrance, but no. Went in to enquire. Staff member met me to say closed early because hot weather. That was the day before hottest July day, so guess same thing happened 25 July. With increasing global temperatures, I'd always check they're open before visiting. Disappointing and unreliable.

Saw a sign for Butts Green Garden centre & cafe & thought we’d give it a go. Great little find! As it was so hot we both ordered the ploughman’s. Wow! It was fab. The coffee was nice too. We want to go back

Visited today for the third time for lunch. Little chilly despite the sun, so really lovely to see the fire burning in the grate on arrival. I love this tea room - the styling is much to my liking and the food is excellent. Must admit I have only stuck to the Welsh Rarebit as I enjoy it so much, but my companions have had something different on each occasion and not been disappointed. Have only tried the Bakewell Tart cake, which is delicious, but all the other cakes look just as tasty and are all hand-made. Will definitely return and recommend. Well done for getting it just right.

Lovely friendly cafe serving a surprisingly large menu. Understand everything is freshly made on premises and it certainly tastes good. Sweet potato and chili soup with walnut bread was a wonderful experience. Certainly plan to visit again and try the breakfast.

Have visited here before about a year ago and wanted to find somewhere mid-afternoon to take my son for a sandwich for a late lunch. The staff were friendly and it's a nice environment, but sadly on this occasion we were disappointed with an unannounced 43 minute wait for 2 x toasted sandwiches. My son had a chocolate milkshake which was £3 and served in quite a small glass... It clearly had ice cream blended in, which is always good for a thick milkshake, but very little evidence of chocolate flavouring.. It was a light beige. My chorizo, mozzarella and tomato toasted sandwich was £7.95... That's pretty expensive in my view, though it was served with a very small bowl of salad leaves and some plain crisps. This is a nice little cafe, but I wouldn't return. Maybe they were having an off day, but had plenty of staff and wasn't packed... So not sure why such a long wait for the toasted sandwiches.

Great Breakfast freshly cooked and alway nice and hot. Lunch menu limited but very good for such a small kitchen.

It’s a regular on my list, whether it’s breakfast, lunch, coffee & cake, never disappoints. Everything freshly cooked/prepared. Cakes all made in the open kitchen. It’s a lovely spot - sitting outside or indoors with the log burner - both are a delight!

This is a lovely little garden centre and cafe tucked away, but easy to find as signposted.

Nothing better than a spot of brunch or lunch after a walk at East Hanningfield Resovoir. Great friendly cafe within the garden centre. Every visit has been fab food, service and reasonably priced. Beautiful cakes too.

I love visiting here, food is great, lovely selection of cake, always clean and tidy, lovely atmosphere, staff always friendly

Beautiful little find out in the wilds of Sandon. I love the cat snoozing in front of the fire while we had tea and cake. You can watch your food drinks being prepared which is always comforting. Very nice and well worth a visit.

My wife and I have been here a few times. Always busy, but people don't seem to mind sharing tables. The food is always freshly prepared and includes some unusual combinations, today I had a pancake filled with beetroot and feta, served with a salad and dressed with a fruity brown sauce. My wife chose a baked potato with coronation chicken and salad. Staff are helpful and friendly. Altogether and good experience.

Eaten here many times, lovely setting, surrounded by a garden centre which is high end in terms of quality, But reasonably priced.

Okay so the garden centre on first impression doesn't look much - but the Cafe itself is wonderful. Food is good, well cooked, well presented and every one of the staff is genuinely friendly. Fish platter was excellent - highly recommended - in so much so that i had to get an extra knife and fork for the wife who wanted to share it !

My wife and I stopped here for lunch again today - as always service was prompt, polite and food was very good. Very reasonably priced, fresh food and very nice coffee and cake. I often stop her with friends for a mid bike ride coffee and it never disappoints.

Had the fish platter for lunch which was okay but a small portion for the money and the end of the smoked mackerel was inedible. The kitchen area could do with extractor fans as the burning oil/fat smell engulfed the room and left my clothes, and myself, needing a wash.

I love this cafe in the Butts Green garden centre. They always welcome cyclists and however many turn up they seem to cope. The food is freshly cooked and of very high quality. It is in a very peaceful setting just off the Great Baddow to Danbury back road, just as you leave the village of Sandon. The staff are always very friendly, it’s very clean and the outside area overlooks the beautiful plants and scrubs they sell, so what’s not to like!

My husband and I went for afternoon tea - the food was delicious, the cafe is really beautiful and homely and the staff were really kind and didn't rush us - would recommend!

Took wife and mother here for a midday tea/coffee but ended up staying for light lunch as menu was very appetising. Plenty of parking and a pleasant garden centre to visit but the tearoom/cafe is main attraction for me. Staff were very attentive and comfy fireside seating made it an enjoyable outing.

came for a weekday lunch, had a lovely ploughman’s , really tasty and filling. Also indulged in a cream tea,...

Me and my boyfriend came for a coffee and a late breakfast here on a lazy Saturday - what a...

Tuve que hacer un viaje a Chelmsford, decidimos parar en la ruta para un vistazo por el jardín luego del almuerzo. El menú era variado y a un precio muy razonable. Pedí un sándwich en pan de salmón ahumado con alcaparras, nogal, nueces picadas y una ensalada con un aderezo. picantes El resto de comidas eran Welsh rarebit y cangrejo, aguacate y ensalada de nuez, croutons. Pedimos dos cafés y una bebida fría, luego tuvimos unos 20 minutos de espera para la comida. La comida era deliciosa y la izquierda nada. Nos las arreglamos para resistir las tartas caseras en oferta. . . Estaba bastante lleno, así que esperábamos que esperar un poco. El servicio y la relación calidad-precio excepcional y era un entorno encantador. Esperamos volver pronto.

Esta es mi primera visita en más de dos años. Todo es el mismo pero con más asientos laterales. Excelente menú, el ambiente y la amabilidad. El menú ofrece productos frescos locales que está bien presentado. Era como si nos quedamos aquí ayer. No podría haber sido más perfecto

Sara loves her gardening and I love my food, what more can I say? Both boxes ticked! First impressions on arriving.... it's usually busy which means people like It, it's a little bit off of the beaten track with no passing trade so people.who know it's there go there for a reason, the garden centre it's self is very charming , staffed by some very friendly people who know there ONIONS and are quite happy to talk you through ideas for you garden, inside the cafe I am always shocked st the choice of freshly cooked dishes there are available, not your plain cafe food but things with a twist amazing home made cakes, resterant food in a cafe .. all I can advise you is try It, if you have an hour or two to spare , you really can't ho wrong

Great to catch up with friends, great selection of cakes, can recommend the minted lamb burger, will be back for sure!

The prices charged for a meagre bacon sandwich were excessive to say the least ! Friendly enough staff, but that's no compensation for being insulted. A pension only goes so far, so we shall look elsewhere.

Nice garden centre and nice surroundings. You need t know that this place exists because it is not so easy to find along the narrow lanes around Sandon in Essex.Food is fine but not spectacular. The ladies were happy with their scones - my friend and I were a little disappointed with our bacon sandwich; a bit basic in two thin slices of brown bread and a piece of bacon on each side.We'll forgive the hiccup on the drinks order :-)

Lovely little cafe within a delightful garden centre. Lots of outdoor seating if that's your preference. Good selection of freshly cooked & very tasty food. Would recommend it.

The café is within the garden centre, right next to the car park and main entrance.Good choice of freshly prepared food, with much of it locally sourced.Order at the counter, food and drinks are delivered to your table.Ploughman's is always a good choice!

This is a favourite spot ~ have reviewed before ~ it is never disappointing ~ always a delight!Just popped in for cake yesterday ~ Lemon drizzle ~ very delicious!Love the coffee cups ~ a nice decent size.Lovely to sit outside & enjoy sunshine ~ equally lovely indoors when log burner is on.Food is all freshly prepared/baked by Lisa & her team.It's a delightful spot ~ lovely countryside spot ~ just 10 mins centre of Chelmsford.Always worth a visit ~ breakfast ~ brunch ~ just cake ~ all delicious.You can wander round the garden centre & gifts ~ all colours your visit.Never disappoints ~ give it a try!

Thank you to all the staff in this cafe for a lovely Mother Day, afternoon tea.Atmosphere was very friendly and relaxed, staff were very helpful and efficient.Sandwiches, scones and cakes were well presented and very tasty, there was plenty to eat, and we had several pots of tea ( at no extra charge) All in all a really nice relaxed afternoon for my husband and I and my parents.It was the 1st time we have visited the cafe/garden centre, and we will definitely be returningThank you all once again

Super spot in the Essex countryside. Breakfast was cooked to order with good quality local produce. Delicious coffee, friendly staff and several contented cats who come for cuddles. Nice wood burning stove kept us cosy. Cakes looked yummy but I didn't have room, maybe next time.

I would just like to make you aware that our recent visit was delightful. The food was all fresh and home cooked. The log fire was very welcome, staff were very polite and although busy we didn't have to wait. Will be back soon. Thankyou again. X

How my partner and I just adore this place!We can buy almost anything we need for the garden and unique pieces for the home followed by a visit to the amazing Cafe Owner Lisa and her fabulous staff always give us a huge welcome we like nothing better than poring over the delicious home made food on the menu. Lisa has taken the cosy feel good factor to another level with the beautiful decor in the cafe there are even sleepy cats curled up by the fire that live at the Garden Centre. Everything about the place is warm and welcoming which is why we love it so very much.The food is excellent always great value beautifully presented with a rustic feel to it. We have enjoyed countless breakfasts lunches and afternoon teas and are always eager to return. If you have not yet visited the Butts Green Garden centre I urge that you do! You really are in for an absolute treat!

Popped in with hubby and we were immediately welcomed and offered a table. The menu is vast and varied. The eggs Benedict are better than I've had anywhere. Home made soup was delicious also. Good portions and all home made. The log fire was on and atmosphere very friendly. Great value. Will be back very soon xx

There is a cafe attached to the garden centre. We visited yesterday so log burner was on and Christmas decorations up. Would make nice visit in the summer when you can buy some plants at the same time. Easy parking and bit difficult to find depending where you come from. Food looked excellent and we shall be going back in New Year to sample - only coffees this time. It did feature well in Essex Life. It's worth a visit if you closeby the area.

We both had the full English breakfast which was of good quality but quite pricey. A breakfast for £7.95 consists of a sausage, a slice of bacon a tomato, a egg, a flat mushroom and baked beans plus two slices of toast. Tea and coffee is not included that's an extra £2.50 for a pot. That said it is a nice cosy place to dine. The garden centre itself is very sparse it maybe just because it's winter, it was the first time I have visited so cannot comment further.

We visited my cousin in Chelmsford and she suggested that we went on Saturday for breakfast. Glad she did for it was a very good choice. On arrival we were met with a very cheery staff and there plenty of them. It is a small restaurant and it was very busy. There were five of us but we managed to squeeze in and proceeded to enjoy a very pleasant breakfast. The food arrived and was of a generous portion. Three of us had the "Full English" the others scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. We re ordered coffee and all the time there was a steady flow of customers. At no time were we rushed and there was a steady flow of friendly banter. The bill was just under £62 for everything which is pretty reasonable in todays marketplace. A very good way to spend a couple of hours. Look forward to returning when we re visit Essex. There was a full menu so I guess it is good for lunch as well. Have no idea when it closes!

Me, my nan and grandad love finding hidden gems. Having been here and reviewed previously and after seeing a couple of bad reviews I couldn't help but say what a great place this little cafe is! Always offering great specials and a variety of hot and cold food. It is a shame how small the cafe is as so many walk in with not a table to sit at and have to go elsewhere which doesn't surprise me as I could never fault this place. Having cute cats help too!

Sadly, that was where it ended. Myself and friends popped in last weekend to peruse the plants on offer, and after finding ourselves a little underwhelmed, decided to cheer us up with a snack and coffee. The little Cafe attached to the centre was not especially busy it seemed, but having to wait 30 minutes for our ( Incorrect!) order to be delivered did not have a positive effect on our outing.We do try to make a point of supporting smaller local businesses, but on this occasion, I think my friends and I will have to look elsewhere, sadly.

Popped in here Monday (3rd) after a recommendation from a friend. To say the service, and food were mediocre is being kind. I hope the owner reads this and takes action, the brassy puffy faced blonde serving looked like she had been on a bender the night before, and it reflected in the disinterested service. It would also have been nice to warm the ice cold plate before shovelling the food onto it. It's a real shame, as I went out of my way to visit, but should have gone to M'cdonalds instead. At least they serve you with a smile! Owner, if you read this, take action !

We visited this lovely little garden centre while staying nearby. So nice to find one that isn't part of a chain. The cafe was lovely with lots of outside seating, and a varied menu. We were there for breakfast first with a good basic menu and lots of specials. My husband had a great full English but I had Welsh rarebit. Yum. We returned the next day for lunch and had delicious pork burgers. Would certainly recommend.

My wife and I visit Butts green regularly, and have tried most aspects of the menue and have always found them excellent.The people are friendly and welcoming and seating is in and outdoors subject to weather conditions.Parking is good but the cafe does get busy and you can wait for your meal sometimes as each meal is freshly prepared, but it ais worth waiting for.The food is well presented and the value ok, and I wood recommend Butts Green any time.

We were looking for somewhere for a late breakfast as we'd been to a friend's party the night before and wanted to break our journey back to Hampshire. Arrived at 10:56 so literally just in time for the full English! Really nice quality food (especially the mushroom) portion size perfect for us, good service and lovely spot on a sunny day to sit and relax, looking at the plants.

Eaten here many times ,for a garden. Centre what a fab choice of food! Highly recommend the breakfast, the staff have always been vey polite and friendly , surroundings are great, peacefull and relaxing , if you want to take a bit time out with good food try it, you won't be disappointed

Been here on many occasions as it is local and APARENTLEY child friendly. Always been with friends. Today I went alone as I was near by, baby was hungry as was I. It was very busy, only one table free so I asked if it was ok to sit there, was told no problem, order sandwich and drink ok as alway, nothing outstanding but nice sandwich, I finished my sandwich but my little baby still breast feeding, had a car seat, nappy bag and feeding baby, got asked to move as someone in a wheel chair wanted my table, obviously I'd finished eating and new business was more important to them, then letting my baby feed. This table was not the only wheel chair accessible table, but I was the only single somewhat vulnerable person in there. No one else was asked to move! And they quite easily sat the man in the wheel chair at another table as a kind gentleman offered to move. Breast feeding in public is not always the easiest thing, the least a cafe can do is treat you with respect and give you the space and time to feed! Terrible behaviour never going back!

A relaxing gem of a cafe lovely staff and good choice of food especially for those with gluten intolerance They are also dog friendly

Opted for the salad special, was delicious and it was a big portion! Other members had the burger and the soup and both said they were also tasty. This is my second time coming here for lunch and I'll definitely be returning. I love the vintage looking sets they also have in the garden centre, their beautiful and I will be coming back to make some purchases!

This place is one of my favourites! The food is amazing, and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is great, and I fell completely in love with the little ginger cat that was only a few weeks old when I first met him! The outside area is perfect for those warmer days and the inside great for those not so warm days. The only problem is the service is exceptionally slow when busy. We visited recently and waited ages between different courses. There was absolutely no order to which they worked, we watched people go up after us and receive theirs before us on a number of occasions. When people went to the till they were served immediately which only back logged the rest of the orders. Surely orders that have already been placed should be prioritised? They're keen to take the money but not so keen on delivering what you've ordered. We waited an hour for deserts. These deserts were all ready and in the containers at the side, it would've taken seconds to pop them on a plate and bring them out but instead we waited ridiculous amounts of time. We did raise the issue at the time but were simply told that it was on its way. It's such a shame because I love this place, but having such slow unorganised service makes us go elsewhere as we simply don't have the time to wait around.

I've visited several times for lunch and for tea and cake and definitely recommend! The cafe is in a fairly small, but really cosy cabin within a lovely, out-of-the-way garden centre near Sandon, not far from Danbury Lakes. On a sunny day, there's a lovely terrace too. Everything we've eaten here has been delicious and home made and we've always had friendly service. There's a friendly cat who came to sit with us at our table and then curled up in her basket by the fireplace. Very homely and relaxing.

We are in the process of landscaping our garden when Butts Green Garden Centre was recommended to us. Beth is the general manager at Butts Green who for £100 attended out home address to see see what flowers and shrubs would be most suitable for our garden. We then attended the garden centre where Beth helped us choose colour schemes and designed a plan bespoke for us. The garden centre itself is small but well equipped which also sells gardener furniture and nik -naks with a lovely cafe on site...Whilst as the garden centre we stayed we stayed for lunch and what a hidden gem that is. There is a choice of fresh homemade cakes and scones, sandwiches, toasties and breakfasts as well as lovely tea and coffee... well worth a stop.

The cake was good but we waited 40 mins for sandwiches and that was before the power cut. They had 4 staff on but only one making food. Given the out of the way nature of its location, I didn't like it enough to go back.

On arrival had a very warming welcome from a member of staff, who showed us to a quiet table for two. brought the menu within seconds and took order for drinks. Gave us a few minutes before asking if ready to order. Varied menu, so it was hard to choose. I settled for a Ploughmans which came with different types of cheese, ham, pickled onions rough cut home made bread, and a 'hot' pear chutney (tasting is believing). My wife chose a fish platter, which included salmon and crayfish, as well as the rough cut bread. All was prepared as it was ordered, so a little extra time to wait was acceptable. All in all a very nice meal in excellent surroundings.

A great place to visit at any time of year - cosy with the wood burner in winter (shame the armchairs are no longer in front of the fire!) and glorious in the summer, sitting on the terrace listening to the birds and water features. Perfect setting, tucked away enough to still be 'a secret'. Good home cooked food and changing 'specials' menu. Great for special occasions or just for popping in for a coffee. Has the added bonus of the garden centre and a variety of unusual gifts at reasonable prices (not forgetting the donkeys at Easter!) The majority of staff are friendly (a couple could be more welcoming) and tables could be cleared and cleaned quicker but overall a lovely, friendly and relaxed tearoom. I visit regularly and have recommended to lots of people.

Found this place when I was out cycling and stumbled upon it. Since then I've visited about five times in the past 2 months.Food is delicious with a rustic feel. Service is excellent and they do a loyalty card and take part in the 'Cake Escape' scheme.

Thoroughly enjoyed a late breakfast here on Saturday. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating even though we were over the time for full English breakfast. Food was tasty and home made, served quickly and by excellent staff. Would definitely recommend it especially as "garden centre time" is upon us gardeners. Will definitely be returning..

Popped in here for a quick coffee. Staff very welcoming, fire lit and cat asleep! Food was tasty and served quickly. Too cold to go round garden centre but will return.

I'm writing this review from Weatherspoons feeling very let down, trying to smile and enjoy Mother's Day with my wife and daughter. We should be in your cafe.I booked a small family breakfast for mother's day. We arrived and sat at our reserved table, so far, so good. The cafe was busy as you would expect for mother's day. We were sitting happily for 10minutes until another family arrived and there was a problem with their table. There was some shuffling of tables but there was still a problem. We were asked by the patron 'can you move tables'. There was no please, sorry or excuse me. We were given the impression that we were in the way.We didn't have a problem moving tables. It would be a minor annoyance and wouldn't put us out. Unfortunately this is where the problem began. As we left the table I had booked it became clear that the new table wasn't inside the warm cafe but outside on a bracing March morning.This left me torn between staying and making the best of it and walking away. As none of the staff could be bothered to assist us or apologise we had little option but to walk away.Before we left my wife spoke to a member of staff to complain. Again there was no apology and no understanding. She left, on her day, in tears. I left gutted.The whole point of today was to surprise my wife and, after breakfast, for her and my daughter to choose a rose together. Maybe create a memory. Thanks for ruining this.That's why I find myself, not out of choice, in Weatherspoons. Everywhere else was full. It is mothers day after all.

This little cafe is a gem - a treasure for so many reasons. The food is presented with so much care, the ingredients are thoughtfully chosen to be first class and local. The owner and the main chef are talented beyond words, and they produce top class food. This is why we have made this our haunt for so many months now, and this review is by way of thanks for such wonderful service. Being vegetarian we have so many menu options here that are unique and healthy!Inside in the winter you can enjoy a roaring fire, and outside in the summer months, the scent of flowers from gorgeous cushioned seats and beautiful mosaic tables. This is a very special place to enjoy, and is a reflection of so much attention to detail, both in the food and the service which is second to none. There is nowhere in the area to compare with this little treasure, nowhere.

I came across this tea room by accident and have been back many times since. Ideal for hot home made soups in front of a woodburning stove in winter and delicious salads outside on the veranda in summer. Good food,varied menu and nice helpful staff. Well worth a visit. JG

Have been here a few times to meet family and friends for just a a coffee and also for breakfast and lunch, firstly the menu is so varied and all home cooked fresh ingredients make all the difference, the atmosphere is so cosy with the wood burner lit in the winter, no better way to spend a Sunday morning, I would absolutely recommend a visit here, once fed and watered have a look at the gift shop some beautiful things to buy.

Lovely homely feel to the cafe with friendly staff , who made us feel very welcome.There is an extensive menu for breakfast through to lunch plus a daily specials board and a fantastic choice of freshly made cakes and scones . The food was delicious and well priced . I have been to a few tea rooms in the area and this is by far the best in my opinion. Highly recommend a visit !!!

Located in the sticks so you need to know where you are goingSmall garden centre. Met friends for a coffee. Arrived and found a nice little cafe. Would have helped if those serving gave a friendly hello and they would be over soon. Instead totally ignored us for an extended period. Once the waitress arrived she was friendly enough. The couple of drinks took an age to arrive. Shame really as I was not encouraged to return due to slow service.

Food OK, service poor. Our order - even the drinks - took forever to emerge and was incomplete when it finally arrived. We still ended up having to pay for their mistake though.

Wonderful little place, well tucked away. Amazing food, helpful and friendly staff, well priced. Doesn't look much from the outside but when you walk through the door is like walking into a comfortable dining room in someone's home. Warning: lots of beautiful eclectic knick-knacks and art pieces about, you may well go home with more than you planned!

I don't usually do reviews but felt that this place deserved to be recognised.We have eaten here on a couple of occasions but I always have the open smoked salmon Sandwich on Walnut Bread Fantastic !!! The Tea/Coffee is very good quality the Homemade scones and cakes are to die for couple that with friendly unhurried service A hidden Gem

We live about a mile away & visit regularly ~ it is always superb & absolutely excellent value!!! Staff are lovely ~ everything freshly cooked/baked. Delicious!!! Today had 2 poached eggs with Avacado drizzled with chilli oil served with Granary toast ~ Lemon Dizzle Cake followed ~ as always an absolute treat for the taste buds ~ it is simply the Best Tea shop in the area!

Friend took me here yesterday for lunch. Great experience, good food & very friendly staff. I had the salmon open sandwich, very well presented. Great cuppa coffee as well. Went whole hog and finished with another coffee + cake. Bakewell cake yum! Worth a visit.

I had the sausage sandwich and mum had beans on toast with an earl grey and breakfast tea which was lovely. Friendly staff and lovely little dog. Cafe cosy and nice decorated. Looked round Garden Centre and Gift Shop after, very nice.

I've been to Butts Green several times for lunch and every time has been perfect. Sandwiches are fresh and generously filled, cakes are delicious and there are always interesting dishes on the specials board. The staff are all friendly and chatty, and service is quick. A perfect spot for lunch and brunch!

I visited this coffee shop with my Mum & 18 month old Daughter on Thursday. We ordered the Coffee & Walnut cake & the scone with cream & jam with tea. We really enjoyed it, especially My Daughter. The staff were really friendly especially with my Daughter & she absolutely loved the 3 cats that they have. Lovely garden centre & lovely coffee shop. I will be returning soon to try out the lunch menu for sure. Thank you

This Garden Centre is only 5 mins from our home and a firm favourite. The outside decking is a very pleasant place to sit and looks over the flowers. The cakes are all freshly baked and the staff very helpful and polite. The coffee is good and there is a range of leaf teas available served in a large teapot (no dunking tea bags here). In the winter there is a log burner inside to create a warming atmosphere. Having tried most of the cafes in the local area this one is the best.

We recently discovered this lovely garden centre when meeting up with our daughter. We were enormously impressed with the attractive layout of the nursery, the tasteful merchandise, and the exceptional home-made food. We would certainly recommend this to everyone, and will definitely come again.

I love this cafe/garden centre/gift shop. Privately owned ~ the little cafe is superb ~ everything is cooked/baked on the premises. Recently changed hands new owner & staff are stamping their mark.Food is delicious with a nice choice of sandwiches/salads/platters & specials..... Cakes are divine especially the Pecan Pie.There is indoor & outdoor seating ~ log burner for winter days...Well worth a visit ~ we are regulars ....Not really for large groups as quite small .....Nor a place for a special meal not their market!!!Lovely venue to meet friends/family for coffee cake/brunch ...

A family favourite for brunch. All day breakfasts are delicious and freshly cooked to order. The eggs are free range and the smoked salmon with scrambled egg option includes lavish portionsLots of visitors seem to drop in on .their country walks and the menu specials change dailyThe tea is proper leaf tea and there is a loyalty card with a free drink every six visits.For those who have a sweet tooth,the range of freshly baked cakes and scones is impressive and service is helpul and prompt.
