Lovely food here. Went today been going for years. For some reason the entrance we always go in had a barrier in the way. Had it not been for a customer interrupting his lunch and telling us the entrance was further down. We would have left and probably never returned. A lesson learned hopefully.

I have tried all the garden centers in this area, and I have to give credit where credit is due, the food is amazing and good portion size, sometimes we have to wait for a seat as there always so busy, we would rather wait for a while rather than eat somewhere that you feel doesn't give good value for money, staff so obliging and happy, the place is very comfortable and this makes it for me a wonderful place to eat out, chill and relax,

Best ploughman’s lunch I’ve had. Lots of variety and homemade products. Only changes I would make would be less salad and replace with some grapes, celery or apple. Can’t wait to try their breakfast.

Arrived at 1.45 ordered quiche of the day for my husband from specials board. Sorry sold out. So he chose something else. I then ordered 2 jacket potatoes for myself and sister in law. Sorry sold out. She chose something else. I asked what pie of the day was from menu. No pie of the day as it’s too hot! We ended up with tuna sandwiches. They should remove sold out items from specials board. Looks like they have a good choice of food when actually they don’t. Won’t be returning any time soon. Very disappointing.

We visit here for all things gardening and also the super restaurant. All staff are, without exception, helpful, knowledgeable, and very happy to help. The plants are fabulous, a huge variety, and always look very well cared for. Because of my husband's very poor mobility issues, we are very happy with the 'no dogs' policy. The restaurant staff have always been incredibly helpful on our many happy visits. Thank you and well done to all lovely staff.

We visited the cafe for morning coffee and cake only. It was not that busy so we decided to sit down. Some of the seating cushions did not look good, quite a lot of stains on them, eventually we found a table that looked ok. We both went to the counter to look at what cakes they had, I am gluten free so it is not easy to find a selection of cakes. The lady behind the counter was miserable, disinterested and quite abrupt, dealt with me as though I was the oddball and basically said that this what they had. I decided to have a cappuccino whilst my wife had a mocha. Both were quite frankly very bland and tasteless. The price was ok if the coffee had been any good, we left after drinking half of our drinks, we should have gone to Garsons where coffee, cake and service is 10 times better, the saying you pay for what you get is so true.

Top class Fantastic garden centre in Titchfield, not far from the motorway. It has everything you need, from seeds to indoor plants, out door plants, items for the home and garden, gifts for anyone, cards, the list is endless. As for the cafe....... One of the best we have ever been. All good is cooked to order and all home made cakes. Do much to choose from and they don't scimp on the amount you have. Despite prices everywhere going up, you sure have a harty meal or snack at reasonable prices. Staff ate on the go all the time, either delivering food and drink to tables, or clearing away, and it's so nice and clean. Each day if your name is on the blackboard,you get a free hot drink. It's certainly a place to visit, in fact we gave been twice just this week. You won't be disappointed

Tea shop settings with restuarant prices. We visited with our friends for Sunday lunch. They advertise roast dinner on Sundays. However, we arrived at 1pm and the roast wasn't on that day. Very little else to choose from, but we had pie of the day. Steak pie and chips with quarter of a tin of baked beans with a drink and cake cost us nearly £50 for 2 people. I had to queue for that too!

This is a lovely garden centre, with a distinctive, personal ambience about it, being located in the immediate vicinity of Titchfield Abbey. It certainly has a less overtly commercial feel about it compared to some other garden centres I've visited recently. The site was a field until around 1930 when a house and greenhouses were built as part of a nursery complex. Further greenhouses were later added, nearly doubling the area under glass, but these were subsequently abandoned and remain derelict and overgrown, albeit out of sight to customers today. The site transitioned from being a nursery to a garden centre in the 1960s. Stewarts took over the Abbey site in late 2016 from the Q Garden Company and has steadily invested in upgrades since then. This has included modernising the café area and customer toilets. Despite the garden centre being fairly modest in size, it sells a good range of plants, shrubs and related products. Staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. There is also a Maidenhead Aquatic outlet in the premises. There is plenty of parking available. I did use the café but only ordered a pot of tea (£2.55) which actually provided about two and a half cups’ worth. Food on offer included freshly made sandwiches; cakes; various versions of cooked breakfast; baked potatoes; a pie of the day with potatoes and seasonal vegetables; a vegetarian pie option and a roast on Sundays. There is a kids menu. The café had a lovely atmosphere about it, being light and airy and with a very pleasant family buzz. There is outside seating available from which you can see the Abbey. Orders are brought to your table and you can choose any free table you want thanks to the use of an ingenious GPS enabled table marker system. The service I received from the lady serving at the food order point and from the young waitress who brough my tea to me was flawless – friendly, efficient and polite. From my experience, I’d definitely recommend Stewarts Abbey Garden Centre.

think i found the most expensive place to eat and drink. A cup of tea CHARGED at £2.55 per cup is scandolous and over half hour to be served and was not even lunch time, asked for a slice at cake at nearly £5 and told I could not have it as they did not know how much of it they had already sold as they were stil making up orders, do they only have 1 cake and not able to count Better off down th eroad, cheaper, cleaner and more efficient

Came to see Santa’s grotto which we pre-booked. Stopped in cafe at 3.30 for something to eat before our slot to see Santa. Menu was very limited (could only order from small appetites menu) no choice at all but to have a sandwich (one slice of bread) with chips. Spent £40 on 4 small sandwiches and teas, hot chocolates. Service was poor despite it not being busy. Food came before drinks and so we had finished our food by the time drinks turned up. Roof was leaking and both myself and my daughter slipped up on wet floor as the roof was leaking. Would not come back to eat here. We were ver disappointed indeed.

Thank goodness the young lady I asked about planters on my entry was not an attitude of every one who worked here. Only asked where they would be, A flung hand 'over there'. Coffee shop was heaving, but of course Sunday what does one expect? This was surprising as the staff in here were friendly and approachable. Even when I claimed I was called 'Andrew'. ha ha.

Called in this morning for a coffee and a scone and then asked for a slice of steak pie to take home for my dinner. I was told that was not possible as I might get food poisoning after I warmed it up and could therefore sue the garden centre. I offered to sign a disclaimer as I have done in other establishments where required but was told that was not possible. Very disappointing.

We have eaten here quite a few times and it is a superb experience. The Ploughman's is half a large Scotch egg, half a pork pie, a small Cumberland sausage roll, 4 sweet peppers filled with cream cheese, salad, caramelised onion chutney, a hunk of bloomer, a large wedge of extra mature cheddar, and the same of apple smoked cheese. Heaven. My wife normally has the smashed avocado on bloomer served with salad and fries, normal or sweet potato. The afternoon tea for two is something else with cakes about petit four size, a selection of sandwiches, scones plain and fruit, Roddas clotted cream and jam. With refillable tea. I have never been brave enough to try one of their baked potatoes as it looks as they go past to some brave soul to require a rope, crampons and a flag once you reach the summit. The staff are lovely and will explain exactly what you are getting on the afternoon tea and will change any of the sandwiches you may not fancy. It is said that you should never go shopping hungry, this is the exception that proves the rule.

I visit this cafe sometimes 3 times in a week. I feel totally safe. They really have covered the Covid prevention brilliantly. Have watched them sanitise tables AND chairs thoroughly. Well spaced apart. Even before the new measures came in the staff were all masked up, unlike other establishments I have visited. Food is well priced and always good. Just a shame they have to restrict their menu and can no longer make proper meals.

Came here with the family (2 teenaged), there was some frustration that you could only have items on the menu ie if a sandwich came with an ingredient you didn’t like, the cafe was not prepared to leave it off). The coffee is standard stuff out of a machine, and the cakes are fantastic. Covid measures are one of the best I’ve seen

We had looked forward to visiting Stewart's Abbey Garden Centre at Titchfield for some time, and finally did so today. Sadly a lot of the stock was vastly over priced by comparrison to other garden centre's and even supermarkets. It was an exceedingly hot day and I was looking forward to getting indoors, only to find there was no air conditioning and it was stiffling. On the plus side the social distancing that I haven't seen work properly anywhere else, actually seemed to work here.

It’s such a relief to find a nursery, that has such excellent plants. Plus interesting takes on old favourites. Fairly new to the area and it has taken three years to find this good plant centre. Lovely positioning next to the Abbey, would suggest having a peak in there too. When open...

As part of a family get-together, we've been coming to this Garden Centre for a number of years. As well as buying plants and other garden items, we've usually had lunch in the café. The omelettes have always been absolutely incredible, with good fillings and side salades. Today I had the (genuinely home made) steak pie with vegetables, and quite honestly, if I hadn't had a very light breakfast, I would have been severely challenged!!All vegetables were freshly prepared and NOT overcooked, and the pie itself was delicious and filled with steak cooked to perfection. After a long pause (!), I had a piece of lemon cake - again home made with a cup of coffee.

We went here for a quick “Coffee and cake” after we looked at the bedding plants. The coffee was really nice, and the cake was lovely and fresh and tasted “Homemade”. One of the nicest cakes I have had in a long time and all for a very fair price.The toilets were very clean and tidy, which is always a good sign. We will go back again soon, for another slice of cake and coffee, I think.

What a lovely place to spend some time on a wet and windy day. We went here to have a look for some new house plants after a friend told us to go.We found a large carpark, lovely pots and plants, and very friendly and helpful staff.

Also, the toilets were clean and tidy, which is always a good sign. So please go and visit this lovely garden center.

I arranged to meet friends for coffee here a few weeks ago. The setting is very good and even well behaved dogs are allowed. The cafe is very clean, however there is usually a queue and they are quite slow at serving. I would definitely visit again. The garden centre is also good. On the smaller side but competitive prices and a good range of products.

My husband and I regularly visit Abbey nurseries and will have a drink and something to eat in the cafe. On this occasion we decided to bring our teenage kids for some lunch. I appreciate the cafe was busy but was disgusted at the rude attitude of the young girl serving and the fact our meals were so small as each piece of pie was being cut in half to make extra portions. We had to ask to add vegetables and potatoes to our meals and were then charged nearly £50 for 4 unacceptable meals with drinks. We will not be visiting again and will strongly advise friends and family not to either.

A well set out garden centre. Plenty to see outside and inside. Large choice of plants, potted and seed packets. A large selection of garden tools and ornaments. The gift shop has a large selection of items from jams and pickles, books and soft toys, kitchen utensils and mugs. The cafe is dog friendly and well staffed by helpful friendly staff. Was clean and well set out. The food and drink was a little expensive but there was plenty and it was very tasty. There is also aquatics store which has a massive selection of fish. A great place to spend an hour or so.

I have used the garden centre for many many years and enjoyed the good range of plants and very helpful staff.We were out near the nursery the other day and decided to pop in for a well deserved cup of tea and refreshments.Pleasant cafe and staff but a bit slow due to customers not being sure on the hot food they wanted.Cake portions almost too big,perhaps a third less and a little cheaper would be great.My date flapjack delicious but very very sweet.Will go again when near.Just a comment on the toilets,they need a revamp as have been dark and old tiles for many years.Do get them brightened up like the rest of the garden centre.Maybe a makeover for 2020.

While in the garden centre on a Wednesday morning we decided to have breakfast. We stood there for nearly 10 minutes while the 2 ladies in front picked their items for breakfast. The member of staff couldn’t of put the food on the plate any slower and kept wondering off as she ran out of items. By now I was loosing the will to live. We decided to go ahead of them and just get a coffee and not bother with breakfast. The person doing the coffee was so miserable and just as slow getting a flat white and a cappuccino. All in all it took just over 20 minutes to get 2 coffees with only 2 people in front of us. We’ll go elsewhere in future. We weren’t the only ones having a moan as the people on the next table said the service was appalling.

We were regular customers when this garden centre was known as 'Abbey Nurseries'. It was a quirky individual garden centre with lovely plants at reasonable prices. The tea room sold tasty homemade cakes and although the surroundings were a little run down, it somehow added to it's charm.

We stopped by for breakfast. Service was so very slow it was painful! Lots of staff around but all very slow and one member of staff even stood watching the toast in the toaster rather than keep serving. Wouldn't have minded that much but the toast was still burnt. We were asked if we wanted more done but we didn't want to wait any longer and the queue was growing. Lots of people were waiting such a long time and their hot food must have been getting cold as they were waiting. Could really do with someone to sort out staff efficiency which would really help to give much better service and avoid customers having to wait so long.

Went for breakfast today. Lovely food, but on the expensive side- however the quality was good- especially the sausages! The restaurant is in a glorified greenhouse which meant that it was a bit hot sat in the sun (some panels have been covered in insulation to block out the sun which was better). The fish department was very good - and the children enjoyed finding dory and nemo, and my sister enjoyed feeding the fish!

Not been here before and decided to give it a try. Visited with family and have to say it has probably the best aquatic centre I’ve come across - small granddaughter was fascinated by the numerous tanks of small fish and corals. Anyway, noticed there’s also a restaurant and decided to give it a try whilst we were there. Plenty of indoor seating plus outside patio area - almost empty on the weekday we visited. Menu sufficient for all tastes - hot food/salads/sandwiches/cakes etc - would say prices are slightly above what you might expect. It was a hot day but I fancied soup and although on the menu, it wasn’t available - surely it’s not difficult to cross it off the menu board? However, what we did have was fine and just nice to sit under a parasol at a table outside (where there’s a large and colourful raised flower bed). From our table you could see top of nearby Titchfield Abbey.

Always shop here for our gardening needs. Always find them the most reasonable cost, best variety and quality of product. They have never forgotten that they are a garden centre first and foremost. Bob the Shed is knowledgeable and helpful as are all the staff. Whenever we have the grandchildren we take them to the Aquarium centre located in the central building to feed the fish. one pound buys you a little pot of food and the fish can be fed by hand. The Christmas Santa is the best there is and the most value. Have no bad words to say about this Garden Centre. Oh and they do a loyalty scheme too so if you are a regular user like us you get even more value.

We were three adults, a baby and a dog. We decided to visit because Stewart's Abbey Garden Centre is dog friendly (providing dogs are quiet and well-behaved), so we chose to eat lunch here for this reason. There was plenty of room for the dog and the pushchair, and the overall venue was pleasant. Our arrival, at 11.35am, however was ill-timed, since breakfast had ceased. and lunch did not begin until 12 noon. We ordered hot drinks (coffee very good, tea average) and waited until the hot food was served. The staff were friendly and efficient, and the food filling, but uninspiring.

For a nursery this offers a selection of cold and hot food. It is far too expensive. Paid over £7 for a bowl of chicken broth which was average. There has been a big price increase since the takeover by Stewart’s from Abbey nursery which is fine if you can deliver value for money. Much better options further down the road.

This garden centre and cafe has really improved since being taken over by Stewarts and is well worth a visit.We came in for a coffee but ended up having breakfast as well.It was nicely cooked and served by friendly staff.The cafe has been greatly transformed with new flooring,new seating and a brighter and pleasant outlook.There is good menu choice and most items are reasonably priced.

Set at the rear of a beautiful garden centre, this self service restaurant offers a good cuppa and a range of light meals and baked goods. Unfortunately there isn't much of an atmosphere as it is a really large area and feels more like a canteen. It did however look like they were starting to make some changes - will definitely go back.

We went to the nursery to buy some things for Mum's garden. The man in the shed was Matthew and he was very helpful with all the advice Mum needed. The order included free delivery. The plants all looked very healthy and we got points on our loyalty cards. We then visited the shop and bought some very reasonable cookery and allotment books. The shop is also well stocked with lovely as well as useful things to buy. We found it to be very reasonably priced. They do a wonderful breakfast in the morning which is really cheap. Many people visit the centre just for the breakfast at just 3 pounds for 6 items. There was no vegetarian option or choice of eggs though. The service was a little slow but they did their best. Dogs were allowed in the café too. There is a good sized car park and a recycling scheme for all your unused garden pots and free broken crocks and boxes.

Lovely little garden centre cafe. Good for tea, coffee and cake or just a cooked breakfast. Could get very hot in the summer as it is situated inside one of the large greenhouses.

Pequeño café escondido en la parte trasera del jardín, personal muy amable, el desayuno delicioso todos recién hechos, así que bien merece la espera de quince minutos. £5. 99 para un desayuno completo inglés es fantástica relación calidad-precio. No probamos las croquetas en esta visita pero que parecía bueno.

Ahora llamado jardín stewart el café de aquí es realmente vale la pena una visita. Se llena por una buena razón. Relación calidad-precio y la variedad son geniales. Un montón de cosas sin gluten y gran variedad de tartas caseras. Chaqueta de patatas. Se mantendrán durante todo el día. Pollo y bacon era realmente bonito.

Decidimos almorzar mientras la alimentación el pescado en el centro de generación, con los niños. La cola era muy larga, y por desgracia fue el esperar una vez que su pedido había sido tomado. Esperamos 45 minutos para 2 patatas chaqueta y un sandwich. Aunque la comida era muy sabrosa cuando llegue!

Esta es nuestra primera visita del año y el problema con su pedido sigue siendo el mismo - muy mal! ! Había 5 personas delante en la cola y tardaron 15 / 20 minutos de espera para realizar mi pedido. Sólo hay un servidor tomar la orden, entonces ve y hace que las bebidas calientes, recibe la tarta o empanadas luego toma el dinero. El té y el café sale de esas máquinas infernales que parecen tomar una edad para hacer. Esto fue un jueves (no un fin), seguramente no es la ciencia rocket tener una persona extra en las horas pico para ayudar. La comida era excelente como de costumbre y lo recomendaría.

Mucho tiempo de espera para ser atendido. Señora antiguo era sacar dinero por ella misma, los pedidos y haciendo las bebidas. Habría hecho mucho más sentido para una persona que recogerá el dinero mientras otro bajamos la cola y comenzó a preparar o servir las bebidas calientes en particular porque había otros de personal disponible. Algunas personas dejaron la cola ya que estaba tomando demasiado tiempo

A good spot to warm up in this garden centre. The lunches are good with the sandwiches particularly generous and good value for money.

Llamamos para comer un bocado a la hora de comer - la tortilla de jamón y Bab Turquía eran excelentes. El tiempo de espera para que se sirva comida era no más de 10 minutos. - que estaba bien. El problema era el tiempo de 20 minutos. poner una orden de cola en el mostrador para comenzar. El derecho a una señora en la órdenes de pago y además, tomando el té y café haciendo así. Como cada comida en el almuerzo tiene una bebida caliente la solución sensata sería tener una persona extra cuidando de ellos. O es que es demasiado fácil! ! ! ! Le habría dado una estrella extra que el servicio era mejor - no pedir todo el mundo es joven y puedes aguantar mucho tiempo. No estoy seguro de que los perros también deben ser permitidos en el área de comer - no muy higiénico.

The portions are adequate and the prices are reasonable. Sandwiches always have a lot of filling but aren't drenched in mayonnaise. I also like that dogs are allowed in the cafe.

Slightly off the beaten track but well worth the detour, you need a car really to get there but good free parking onsite. The restaurant was fairly quiet for a Friday night so we got a nice table in a window alcove. The meal is varied and our food was very good. I would recommend

Was so very disappointed, after everything we had heard we were expecting great things. On arrival we were ignored and not acknowledged for 10 minutes. The venue is very attractive and well laid out, there is generally a positive ambience except the initial welcome. The food did not live up to expectations, all was bland and although we all had different dishes they all tasted the same, no chillies or spice in the meals . The place is quite pricey and sadly it was definitely not worth the money. Real shame

As usual, the staff were lovely, as was the coffee. Unfortunately though, the shop is in desperate need of a fly zapper! As every time I’ve visited lately there have been so many flies! I really enjoy going to the shop, but lately all the flies have made me think twice, which is such a shame.

Myself and my partner popped to The Golden Lion and we hear the food is meant to be good. We ordered a Croque monsieur and a Croque Madame. Our food was served to us by the lovely Yvonne, and on first look it was very presentable and looked amazing. We both were very impressed with the presentation of our food and on first taste we both said "that's amazing". Steve came to check to see if everything was ok and we told him that it was incredible. I would highly recommend this pub for food, the staff are very friendly and the chef is incredible and a credit to the pub. Thank you Jamie, Steve and Yvonne for making our experience at The Golden Lion a Fab one. We look forward to many more.
