Heads up for any coach drivers, car park is a disaster in a coach, there's not enough space for you to park a coach without having to move back and forward so you don't block the place.

We called in for lunch at the garden centre. In fairness the food here is always good. The deserts are un real and definitely worth a try. The portion sizes are crazy. We had 2 of the panini's with bacon, chicken, brie and caramelized onion, it was nice. HOWEVER Their queuing system is possibly the worst queueing system in the entirety of Northern Ireland if not the northern hemisphere....if you want to call in for a coffee and bun, be prepared to queue behind everyone in the world ordering a 3 course meal, getting things warmed and so on. It just doesn't work at all, never has and never will. They really need 2 separate queueing systems, one for those just wanting a coffee and those wanting a sit down lunch. This is why you will wait in queue for around 20 minutes at times as its just so slow. If you are in the area the garden centre is alway an enjoyed place for a nosey about. It is pricey, very pricey but sure window shopping is fine.

Visited on Sunday and first went to cafe, though not very hungry. When you enter, the smell and the look of the food ALWAYS makes you want more than your really fit to eat. Had the absolutely delish potato and leek soup with chicken sandwich, and a raspberry cream tray bake, also a perfectly made 1 shot americano. My wife also had something that was lovely too ( cannot actually remember what she had!!! Price was just over £20+ which is very good for top quality food. Visited garden centre, was able to get everything I came to get. Extremely well looked after plants, which is not an easy feat with plants like cyclamen at this time of year. Decor of garden centre is very inviting and inspiring. Without reservation I would easily say that CG at Donaghadee, (also to be fair at Galgorm and Logwood) are one of the best garden centre groups in Ireland, if not THEE best.

24/09/22 for light lunch to be charged £28.34 for two paninis tea and two tray bakes, given the price you would expect restaurant quality this was not the case. Average panini with processed chicken. Very disappointed.

Agree with other reviews that the restaurant is becoming expensive but it doesn't appear to stop people going to it. Was there Sunday past and it was very busy. Ordered a sandwich, almost £7 (panini costs £9 and toastie £8) though have to say it was freshly made, well filled and presented with side salad, coleslaw and some crisps and actually substantial enough for two. I suppose like others will keep going back as it is a nice hour out to walk round centre and have a coffee or something. Staff who served us in restaurant on Sunday were very friendly.

Always been a favourite for morning scones and coffee. They’ve stopped doing the vouchers for this, but have also hiked up the prices for tea, coffees, scones etc. Coffee and scones for two now costs over £12, even with a regular cup. They have also stopped doing the Sunday hot food buffet and now have a limited choice of hot mains that you can order, which are brought to the table. It’s nice to visit the cafe as part of the experience, but disappointing that prices have been increased to the extent they have.

Always enjoyed the hot dinners here but the menu is limited now. Got lasagne and it was not nice and Im not hard to please. Very expensive too.

Won't be back for food but will call at the gift shop etc as its lovely

We are regulars to the Donaghadee Garden Centre. The staff are lovely, the scones and traybakes are good too, but the price has steadily increased and today we were shocked at our bill of £45. A latte at £3.89 really is overpriced. A scone of £3.29. The bagel with bacon and cream cheese is nothing better than what could be cooked at home - no garnish or side with it. Sorry Garden Centre - we have been loyal customers but now will rethink where to coffee.

Very disappointed.long queue which moved very slowly my disabled mother had to stand for around 20 minutes before getting a seat., And another 20 minutes before food arrived. I have to say the food was of poor value. I noticed a bit of a price hike in general eg a pot of tea at 2.49. soup over £5. I have previously enjoyed many meals there but the sausage rolls were not nice nor were the accompaniments . If I go back it will not be for a main course and not when it is busy.

Bought a coconut slice and coffee and when I was half way through it, I noticed it was mostly green mould!!! It had gone to powder!!!! I went back and was offered a replacement ( no thanks) or a refund! I took the refund but feel they should’ve offered to cover at the very least the coffee and given a voucher for a future visit!!

As a regular visitor to the coffee shop, I must admit the vouchers to creative gardens members are becoming less appealing! In the beginning when the vouchers were introduced, there were always two sets of free tea / coffee. This was a great mutual incentive - brings more custom to the garden centre and also the majority of folk will buy something to eat along with the complimentary hot drink. Then the ‘vouchers ‘ became 2 drinks and 2 traybakes £4.50, then £5, and have now increased even more. Gone are the complimentary hot drinks. No breakfast offer vouchers either, only 2 meals for £16. And sadly, there are better value early bird meals in venues close by. My mum and daughter tried the dinners recently and were disappointed. In saying that, morning coffee and scones are always enjoyed, but must admit, disappointment at the vouchers.. always nice to feel custom is appreciated.

Invited an English friend today for lunch. There were many empty tables but a long queue through the door and outside along the path. Hot food was served quickly but it was almost cold by the time we reached the till as there were not enough staff to serve desserts and drinks. There is one queue to cover all and tables are not to be occupied until food is paid for.

Went for a light lunch. Mother in laws panini was ok if rather light on filling. My tuna mayo sandwich however consisted of two doorsteps of bread with a tuna filling that had the barest amount of mayo and no seasoning, very bland. Worse it was served with a salad dressed in an oily sugar syrup that seeped into everything else on the plate and a handful of cheese and onion crisps which I detest. Would liked to have been asked when I ordered. Had to hunt for a table that had been cleared too. Won’t be returning as expensive for what we got.

We were hungry and my wife suggested the garden centre (ulterior motives) lol. We went into the restaurant, all 3 of us had the "big breakfast fry". It's well presented and plenty on it, a poached egg, a pancake, half soda, two very thick slices of bacon (yummy) and a pork sausage, there wasn't a single bite left on any of our plates, it's not cheap as Fry's go but overall was worth £6.50,. I also liked that they have a water tap for customers beside the seating area with slices of lemon and glasses, it's free of charge so saved us on drinks :) of recommend it if you are passing, also the garden centre is a good venue if you like flowers and trees/plants or gifts 4stars out of 5

My other friend had the vegetarian breakfast on offer which he said was also very good :) the tea coffee etc was also very nice and the food was all out within 10mins of placing the order which is very good time considering how busy it was on this particular day and that I have waited half an hour in other places for a similar breakfast! :) we would denitely all come back again for the breakfast here at creative gardens Donaghadee and would definitely recommend! :)

Two friends and I booked to attend the Ladies Night. We arrived to a welcome of mulled wine and shortbread, along with excellent discount deals for that evening. Dinner was a choice of vegetable curry, chicken curry or peppered pork, served with a good helping of rice, salad and garlic bread.. washed down with red or white wine. It was very tasty. To finish off our dinner, we then enjoyed warm mince pie with fresh cream along with tea or coffee. After a good catchup over dinner, we shopped using our vouchers. We have decided this will definitely be an annual festive catchup.

Food here is not only exceptional but extremely good value for money. I opted for the steak pie in red wine with the veg and my partner for the chicken and broccoli bake. Both were absolutely delicious. A really lovely garden centre all round with lots of colour and a real Xmas atmosphere. My one reservation is as with all garden centres, prices far too high and therefore rarely purchase anything other than plants.

Definitely would not recommend for lunch. I ordered the prawn open sandwich which turned out to be a modest portion of prawns and sauce, what I can only describe as a small salad garnish, and a wheaten scone! For £8.95?? Bizarre combination as scone was sweet... My companion had a sausage roll which was badly overlooked. Disappointing and overpriced.

Food is good but service is appallingly slow, so if you purchase hot food on a busy day (as it usually is) it will be barely warm when you reach the table. The problem is that there is only one pay point, so the queue to pay only moves at the speed of the slowest ditherer (staff or customer)! The restaurant needs as a priority to split the queue into those who are ordering hot meals from those wanting coffee/scones, etc only.

This garden centre has a good combination of plants, gifts and cafe - making it a good place to meet friends or family for a catch-up over coffee, followed by a browse afterwards. I haven’t given it 5 stars as it’s still on the pricey side compared to other places, even with the Creative Gardens loyalty card.

Six of us descended on this popular spot a couple of Sundays ago and to our surprise found that half of North Down had the same idea. The queue was out of the door! However, we persevered and were rewarded with an excellent lunch. That they were able to keep the excellent food coming was amazing. My only quibble was that the plates need to be hot; by the time I got to the till, paid the bill and got seated my lunch was getting a little cold. It was still super. Highly recommended and worth a visit.
