Cafe Rosie in Forest of Dean

Lovely service, nice meals, good prices. The surrounds are standard, but you are here for a reasonably priced bite and the flowers.

Mean attitude towards elderly. We could not pay for breakfasts and leave items. Does it matter who has the smaller sizes?

Hard to find this establishment on TripAdvisor as the cafe is in Roses Garden Centre.It is in a row of 3 garden centres and is the most reasonable.Cafe Rosie is light and airy and all on the flat,there are toilets there as well.They have a very varied menu and daily specials.We only had coffee as there doesnt seem to be Gluten Free options due to the inability to isolate certain wheat containing foods.However it was very nice there as it was our first but not last visit.

Wonderful lunch today in cafe Rosie. On the specials board we chose Shepherds pie and a Pork apple and sage pie. Both came with vegetables and gravy. Absolutely delicious. They also have a lovely brand of coffee. Thank you.

A large pot of tea and two English breakfasts were perfect. Good quality ingredients served on hot plates. The tea pot served 4 cups. The staff were friendly and efficient and the premises were clean. A party of 4 plus children came out of the free play area and bought a pot of tea for one and then proceeded to get cans of drink and their own food out of their bags.

Had a great time today at Roses Garden Centre with my 2 year old nephew. We enjoyed a good quality English breakfast, chose to sit outside and my nephew loved the outdoor play equipment. Staff were friendly and food was served timely. Then we used the indoor soft play area which my nephew absolutely loved. It was also really clean and obviously well looked after. Bought a couple of nice products from the shop. Will definitely be returning.

A nice cafe, good coffee, cakes and food. The garden centre is not bad value either. Their covid safety arrangements are well thought out and work well.

We popped into Rosie's today for a quick snack. I immediately ordered 2 coffees with sandwiches, one of them toasted. The coffee arrived within 5 minutes but we found ourselves still waiting for the food 40 minutes later. People were coming in after us & being served their food! In the time we had been there, the people that were in front of me when ordering had been served a cooked meal & even finished it & we were still waiting. I eventually went to the counter to enquire as to why we were still waiting & as I did this another gentleman had the same question for them. He had waited 20 minutes for his soup! I was told they were just being prepared, hence, We waited a further 10 minutes, so I went to the counter to get a refund, telling them it was ridiculous to have to wait 50 minutes for such a simple dish! My husband was on his way out of the door when the sandwiches came out, so we had to sit to eat them. There were at least 4 staff working there & it wasn't particularly busy. They just weren't organised.

We visited cafe Rosie to use the soft play equipment which was brilliant. Perfect for our kids who are 2&3. We also purchased kids meals, jacket with chilli and a cheese scone. Prices were about right although service was extremely slow and food was plonked down on the table with not even a smile. The kids cutlery was brought over about 15mins later by a different lady who was much nicer. Will defo be back to use the soft play but doubt we will use the cafe again

Popped in for coffee and tea during heavy rain whilst shopping. Prices reasonable and well laid out, but waited 15 minutes for just a tea and coffee to be delivered, too long really when the café was only half full. Menu looked good.

We found this cafe as result of detouring to buy plants on our way to visit a relative in Mid Wales. Set in a proper plant nursery. We visited on the way there and way back. The ambience was good: no loud piped music, floor and tables clean. Good coffee on 1st visit and one of the best cheese scones I have ever had in a garden centre. Although we arrived after 3pm on 2nd the person serving made up baguettes freshly. Salad was not just the usual 1 slice of tomato and a lettuce leaf that you get in more corporate establishments. We will probably take same detour again.

Situated in a little garden centre is this gem of a cafe. Clean bright and friendly service with good choice of food and snacks. Reasonably priced. Definitely go back now we’ve found it on our next trip.

Rude staff in the cafe and would not rate it on cleanliness either. Dull atmosphere to say the least. Young man in the shop was very helpful and one of the positive sides to this business.

Stopped in for a bite to eat for breakfast and ordered two bacon baguette to take away . Ordered some juices which were lovely . This is where the positivity stops . After dealing with a curt lady at the till who had the immense stress of making two coffees I was surved . Ordered two bacon baguette at nearly £5 each . Sat down to wait . 10 mins later they arrived I took them to the car. Well .... disgusting . Bacon barely cooked . Oven cooked baguettes were raw . Totally inedible! I personally would of been embarrassed to serve this . New to the area and thought we would give it a try but would recommend anyone to drive past and use the garden centre next door ! Much better !

Called in yesterday on the off chance.....what a lovely cafe. Only intended to have a light bite but the Sunday roasts looked so good we couldn't resist them! We will definitely be back again. Highly recommended......

Popped into Roses garden centre and decided to try Cafe Rosie. We were greeted with a smile, the tea and scones (homemade) were quickly served and very enjoyable. We shall go again when we pass that way

Had one of the best breakfast I have had for a long time, knew it was fresh as you can smell the bacon cooking and it was a nice sized breakfast. Staff very friendly and helpful, coffee lovely and hot will be returning again soon.

Regularmente Café Rosie. Es el café más bonito por millas alrededormuy limpias y un fabuloso menúcomida recién preparada. Tortas caseraspersonal es encantador y muy duroes siempre muy ocupados en allí, pero bien organizado.Me quedé muy sorprendido por los comentarios anteriores.He sido un cliente habitual durante años y nunca he visto ninguno de los problemas reportadoses una pena que la gente a expresar sus opiniones negativas en línea en vez de hablar con el personal o la gestión de primera.

Probamos el café como el centro jardín Rosie más grande de al lado había una cola enorme. Ojalá nos hubiéramos quedado en la cola como desperdiciamos toda una hora de nuestro viaje aquí. Llegamos a encontrar cada mesa desocupada apila la vajilla utilizada: yo llevo una pila de platos en la cocina y me dijeron que ponerlas en el suelo como todos los demás de la superficie también amontonada con vajilla sucia, así como un tranvía en el restaurante. Pedimos el plato de jamón que nos dijeron que era servido con pastel de cerdo, encurtidos y ensaladas y una chaqueta de patatas. Tomó 50 minutos para nuestra comida y cuando no, sin duda no vale la pena la espera: no en el pastel de cerdo (casi lado plato mediano) placa, una pequeña cantidad de iceberg triturados y 2 tomates cherry, no reducido a vestirse, insípido jamón. La patata fue superficial, con chaqueta igualmente aburrida ensalada de paquete en el lateral.

Metimos en cuando estuve buscando lo que es un jardín encantador

Este restaurante/cafetería situado dentro de un jardín, uno de los tres en la carretera en Newent. Preferimos mucho este lugar para el lugar más grande en la puerta de al lado, lo que me parece bastante caro. En esta ocasión, optamos por un desayuno preparado y un chocolate caliente y tanto resultó ser una buena elección, el chocolate caliente, como uno de los mejores que he probado en mucho tiempo. El desayuno caliente estaba hecha de una salchicha, dos lonchas de panceta, dos huevos, frijoles y champiñones junto con dos rondas de pan y mantequilla. Mientras que un huevo estaba un poco hecha y la otra ligeramente cruda, no resta mi comida me gustó. Mi esposa tenía un tocino baguette que venía con una ensalada y ella disfrutó su comida.

It is a bit of a throwback to a bygone age.Quirky forties feel to it which I found quite appealing. We only had soup and a roll and a pot of tea for two but it was delightful and we will definitely be visiting again.

We tried this so called Restaurant out,and wish we hadn't,the service was terrible,the old lady,the owner was extremly rude,rude to her staff and we waited a lifetime for our soup which was ok,but we noticed b,ad hygiene,with a pair of secateurs on the kitchen side nd the toilets were filthy!More like School canteen than a cafe,rubbish rubbish rubbish!will never come here gain!

Mediocre food, not a very good selection of cakes. Waited too long for our food and was served by an extremely rude old lady. Would not return.

Love this little gem of a garden centre,fantastic cafe on site,all staff very friendly.all food is delicious I have tried most of the menu.the garden centre gifts are not all the run of the mill items you would find in larger group garden centres.I have always found the plants and flowers reasonably priced in comparison.definately worth a visit.

We dropped in for a quick snack and coffee on our way through and sadly wished that we had not, as it took over an hour to serve soup, which my companion said was good and a baked potato, which did what it said on the tin

Cafe Rosie is situated in one of three garden centres in very close proximity on the outskirts of Newent. Whilst not as big as the neighbouring Three Shires garden centre, it has a good selection of products and of course Cafe Rosie. It is clean bright, has a good selection of meals and snacks and all at very reasonable prices. Add that to pleasant attentive and polite staff and i makes for a cafe worth visiting.

We visit this garden centre quite regularly and often have a snack or afternoon tea. The garden centre is well stocked and reasonably priced. The café is very good and the food is freshly prepared, tasty and reasonably priced. The staff are friendly and helpful, especially the team in the café. The only thing that lets this garden centre down are the toilets. They really are awful. On our most recent visit, the toilets looked as though they hadn't been cleaned since the last time we visited about a month before. My husband needed to use the gents but he said it was so filthy that he used the disabled one instead, which he went on to say, wasn't much better.

We like this cafe ! Nice staff, and tea, coffee and cakes are all good. Its meals are simple - e.g. panini, baked potatoes, pizzas, soup - but again all good. The room is nicely decorated and spacious, with tables not too close together, and a children's play area right outside. We thought the toilets were fine. The cafe is in a large but independently run garden centre, which has an interesting range of gifts. Like another reviewer, we used to go to the big, well-known garden centre and cafe next door, but this cafe is much quieter and nicer. We use it when on nearby walks e.g. Betty Daw's Wood nature reserve, or Dymock Woods, or round the lake in Newent, or the walk inside the Three Choirs Vineyard just up the road.

We used to go to the larger garden centre next door for a lunch break on the way from Aberystwyth to our daughter in Basingstoke. However, the cafe/restaurant there has not impressed on recent visits so we looked at this little enterprise. It's hidden deep in the Rose's Country Fayre garden centre. It's never been crowded and in the couple of times we have called, we have received excellent service and food. The soups have been delicious and filling and they do a proper bacon butty, on thin bread and with crispy bacon. Prices are very reasonable. The only quibble is that the toilets are adequate only.
