Croft Cafe and Bistro in Cherry Lane Garden Centre in East Riding of Yorkshire

Went today for lunch , I decided i was having soup , they said it was the last portion so that was fine , I asked for no bread which , when it came it was the smallest half bowl of soup for £6.25 , I didn’t want anything knocking off for not having the bread but did expect a full dish, looking at the menu I could of had a small breakfast, or sandwich for about the same price , it’s soup where do they get over £6 for it!!

Visited here and had sweet sour chicken which was awful it looked like the bottle of sweet sour sauce had bern thrown over the meal and the rice was saturated in it too it was a soggy mess l , won’t be returning.

2nd visit in a couple of months, first visit was mediocre, this one worse, was warned meal could take up to an hour, and it did even though 1/4 tables were empty! luckily was having a catch up and coffee with friends. Bland quiche, salad and coleslaw all served on a hot plate, warm salad and coleslaw unpleasant and inedible. Garden centre very reasonably priced though, will go again but not to the cafe.

Good coffee and cakes although the selection is limited. Friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable and spacious.

Food is hot and cooked properly not overcooked, staff were helpful and friendly. It was a lovely meal and the portions were generous, I enjoyed every mouthful the standard of the food would not have been out of place in a restaurant. Beautiful food

I have wanted to try this cafe for a while. I was so disappointed the quiche was so bland worst I have ever has I spotted one piece of tomato in it! My son had sausage & mash which looked really good. Service is so slow. Such a shame it has such a good set up & if managed properly would be a gold mine.

For the price on the menu, we were expecting sandwiches with a bit of garnish but they came with a lovely mixed salad with a delicious dressing and the sandwiches were stuffed with filling. Well done chef!

Visited here yesterday, had cottage pie for lunch which was lovely but what happened to the vegetables,they were obviously frozen, so hard l wasn’t able to eat them so took them home for the chickens. The whole meal was ruined,so why could they not have fresh vegetables instead, the meal was a complete disaster and a waste of money.

This is a lovely place to eat, staff are lovely. The sanitising of the tables, chairs etc is second to none. The food is always cooked lovely and hot. We go at least twice a week

Stopped for lunch on the way to Skipsea having driven from Bury. Good garden centre and store and very good café. I had a prawn sandwich on very nice oatmeal bread with good filling, salad and coleslaw accompaniment. My wife also enjoyed her roast ham and cheese sandwich. Very nice Latte as well.

As long standing customers who pop in for a bacon sandwich after shopping in Beverley, we were very disappointed today and won't be visiting again. At around 1 pm we were told these were no longer available after 11.15 am. Reluctantly we ordered one BLT and one sausage and mash. The sausage and mash was terrible, anaemic microwaved sausage, frozen, not even half cooked vegetables and very heavy mashed potato. My husband ate the sausage reluctantly and left the rest. My BLT was surrounded by far too many salad leaves, peppers, onions, cucumber, tomato and slightly spicy dressing, which spoiled the bacon taste. Altogether a very expensive mistake for poor quality food. We did complain to the waitress who never came back to us, so we left.

Great friendly staff but queueing at counter takes an age due to lack of staff on till. I queued for so long I needed the toilet when I got my drink. Owner should bite the bull it and put more staff on behind the till, the Piotr girl serving looked stressed trying to do 2/3 jobs at once!

I must say I was very impressed with the way the staff dealt with the seating & serving of food in this very difficult time & the food was excellent well done to them.

Met at the door by a friendly masked lady. Advised to sanitise before being taken to our well distanced seats. Shown the breakfast menu which is to be filled out and returned to the counter with your order and track n trace details. A good system..Nice pot of tea came quickly, soon followed by 2 excellent breakfasts. Plenty of beans for a change!!. In many cafes the portion of beans is measly. I was wondering if there was a bean shortage in the world. But not at Croft, a proper blazing saddles portion.We will return.

This little cafe has reopened after the government relaxation of lockdown. The safety processes in place for the cafe were sound including being greeted, safety rules explained, hand sanitisers and a new ordering process with table service. Tables are well spaced out and good for social distancing. You can eat in and depending on the weather eat in the outside section. The menu for food is a little limited at the moment but the staff have put on a couple of items on the specials board. Friendly service as always and what food we had was as good as usual. Would have been five stars were it not for limited menu. Thanks

I visit my local Garden Centre and cafe regularly. The staff are always very friendly and helpful, the cafe is light and airy, plenty of tables and waiting times can be lengthy across meal times.but the food is always delicious

I don't like to give negative reviews but the breakfast here was truly awful I'm pretty sure the sausages were filled with sawdust because there was no meat in them. Bacon pale and under cooked in fact the coffee was the only acceptable part of this experience my friends poached eggs were all hard all 3. And his beans dry and cheap nasty ones sorry but this is the truth. It was decent a few years ago but I shan't eat there again. but garden centre is pretty good so visit that if you want plants etc .

Dropped in, and on the face of it, it's a bright airy nicely decorated cafeThe menus seemed varied, but quite grubby. Printed on paper, but in need of renewingWe decided on the food, and when we got to the tillHomemade Welsh rarebit - don't do thatVegetarian breakfast - stops at 11:30 (which was in tiny writing on the menu)So then we trawled through the menu, and apart from cake, toasted tracker, scones, the only vegetarian food was cheese in various forms in a sandwich or jacket potatoe, mushroom soup, or chips, egg & beansForget it if you are vegan and you want to eat ! Very surprising for a modern cafe to have such a poor choice

On the whole a great garden centre but needs to make its mind up about the dog friendly area in the restaurant and commit one way or another. Three tables as you enter the restaurant where well behaved dogs and their owners are welcome but more often than not already occupied by customers with not a dog in sight meaning dog owners have to leave hungry and thirsty. Please either commit to saving these tables for dog owners only or not, in which case dog owners can take their custom elsewhere without having wasted journeys.

Waited 35 mins to be served at the counter - there were 6 people in the queue. Avoid! You have been warned

We were on route to our holiday home and it was time for lunch. We spotted this place and was very pleased we did. The staff in the cafe are friendly and welcoming and helpful with what was on offer. Food was cooked freshly to order and presented nicely. They have a variety of things to choose from including a specials board and lovely cakes on display. We didn’t wait too long for the food to arrive maybe longer than some other cafes but you do have to wait for food to be cooked - no one has a magic wand! The place had plenty of comfortable seating and play area to occupy children. It was clean and tables were tidied away regularly. It was very busy so, therefore, I assume quite popular. If you are of an impatient nature and can’t wait for food to be prepared maybe Macdonalds would suit better, though you really don’t have to wait that long!

There is plenty of car parking and tables. A kiddies corner to keep them occupied and not running around. Order at counter and meals brought to table. Not a large menu but breakfast, lunch and snacks served. Meals are average cost and well cooked. Lots of cakes and buns to choose from.

I refer to the previous review from Suzanne R and think the giving a 2 star and poor service was a bit harsh. We come here regularly and it is a very busy cafe at times but the ladies who serve are so friendly and overworked, and the big queues are not their fault at the end of the day and nor is the wait for food the chef's fault as it is clear to see they are very short staffed. We enjoy coming here and will continue to do so but please can the management get more staff

Having often shopped in the garden centre and seen how busy the cafe was we decided to give it a go. As it was only 12.00 we thought it would not be too busy. There was only one lady on the counter, taking orders, sorting out drinks and dealing with queries, so it took some time to place our order. We then waited over 45 minutes for our food. My husband said his omelette was very good, but my leek and potato was nothing special. Instead of the roll which was on the menu, there was a slice of bread which was stale.Won't be doing back but I don't suppose this will worry them as the queue was out of the door by the time we left.

The food and coffee is nice but it can take up to 20 minutes to get served if there is only one member of staff on , not great if you are 76 with standing problems. The staff understandably not too friendly (not all) but the coffee is is good. It can get very noisy with children screaming in the play area so if you want a quiet lunch it may not be for you. Based on our last visit and a bit fed up of waiting as they are so short staffed we won't be coming again.

I visited the garden centre today after a friend told me to come and visit. I actually started the day on a magical mystery tour with the postcodes of 5 garden centres but decided to eat at this one as well as shop.

We called in here while on a visit to Beverley. There was nothing memorable about the place. Staff were pleasant, it was clean and parking was easy.

Had to return an faulty item previously purchased in store that done we decided to have a quick lunch before we left.

Popped in for a soup and a sandwich yesterday,it was 11.15am and they didn't start until 11.30am as they were still serving breakfast.

We visited here for a quick lunch with my parents. It was very nice we all had different things. We couldn't fault it. Staff were very friendly. Not fine dining but good good we were all happy with everything.

Had Christmas lunch here yesterday and it was the best Christmas meal I have had. It was lovely and hot and tasty and the turkey was lovely, I would certainly recommend this meal.

Poor customer service ..... add dirty and chipped crockery, a canteen atmosphere and bland food to the equation.... certainly not what paying customers should expect or deserve! I waited several minutes to order - there was only one person taking orders even though there were several in the kitchen and behind the counter. I ordered toasted teacakes and beans on toast. The assistant looked at the clock and declined my order of beans on toast as breakfast had finished at 1130..... it was 1132! I explained I’d been at the counter before 1130 and PLEASE could she accept my order as it was for my 88 year old mum and it was her birthday!!! She politely declined!! Not always fair to blame front of house.... maybe a Senior Management decision!!! But come on guys..... is this really how you should treat customers!?! You could toast teacakes but not a slice of bread for an elderly lady on her special day??! She could have her beans with chips... just not toast!! Bonkers! Take note of the negative reviews.... sort it or close it!!! It’s a shame because the Garden Centre is reasonably priced and carries a good range of goods but unless you address the cafe issues, it will have a knock on affect on people visiting.... these days they kind of go hand in glove. By the way, she had toast when we got home! Birthday Celebrations resumed!!!

Called in with my husband and ordered cottage pie. After Thirty Five minutes and growing concern as the other customers in there all seemed to have a complaint of one sort or another we were served with something that resembled School Dinners of old. The vegetables were cooked to a pulp so you couldn't really tell what they were supposed to be and tasted bland. The Cottage pie had been so overcooked that the mash topping had turned an alarming shade of brown so had to be put to one side to find the meat as you couldn't cut through it. The meat was like sawdust in texture and also bland. I can honestly say it was the worst meal out we have ever eaten . The lady at the next table also left hers and turned to me and said it was awful. The lady behind also left her meal and said on the way out to the young lady serving that it was so burnt she had to leave it and that was just an omelette !!!! Never again a waste of £14 out of our pension !!!

Nice & clean cafe had jacket potato with tuna & mayonnaise which was spot on also comes with side salad which was very enjoyable nice big mug of capuccino too,will be returning.

A Saturday late lunch in October. Not busy at all...yes they did have gluten free cake,,,but this Coeliac and diabetic is trying to avoid cakes...so asked for the savoury options..and yes it was the usual jacket potato and side salad. It took ages to arrive...and was rather burnt, shall we say over done, on the bottom.

Ordered a traditional breakfast i wanted mushrooms instead of egg and an extra sausage instead of black pudding. Was informed "no swaps allowed". I ordered these as "extras" was charged for them and they came on a seperate place, i was still charged full price for the breakfast with no egg or black pudding. Why noy just put the extras on the plate and charge me the standard price instead of been awkward ?!

Came in late afternoon only 12 people in took 10 mins to order food people in back chatting. I had already drank my coffee before my sandwich arrived. Food ok prices ridiculous £5 for a toasted sandwich. The place needs a good clean as well on the chairs at the side residue of food dropped. Staff uniform dirty.

I called in yesterday and ordered the special offer of Tea and Cake for £3.75. Well what a performance that was! I had to wait 5 mins to be served, then the Waitress couldn't find "the offer" on the till. She called another girl who couldn't find it either. They then called another girl who was totally disinterested. After that she called a man, who I assume was doing the cooking. He didn't know either but suggested a way round it. After much huffing and puffing she eventually charged me the wrong price!

Ordered soup and sandwich combo. Coronation chicken and soup of the day which was tomato. In all my years I have never been served with such an AWEFUL excuse for soup. I am adamant that what I was served was a tin of canned tomatoes pulped slightly. All the seeds were still in the liquid which is not a very apt description as it resembled the texture and thickness of blancmange and was completely tasteless. I waded through a couple of spoonfuls but gave up. Avoid at all costs

What on earth has happened to this place? Up until a few months ago the Croft was really good, now its a complete shambles. Ordered two sandwiches which took 45 mins. to arrive. A sandwich and salad on a hot plate? We shan't be going back until this place sorts itself out.

£4.25 for 1 slice of bread and a slice of congealed tasteless cheese and a greasy mushroom. These garden centres are earning a reputation for slow service and exorbitant prices for food lower in quality than a basic school meal of the sixties. Its a captive audience, but there are exceptions in the county and this venue should learn from them. Interestingly M&S; produce similar items some of which are cheaper and mostly much better.

Our group of 28 called here for afternoon tea after a day in Bridlington and although there wasn't enough staff the amount of food and quality was great and if I am ever on that road I will definitely call again

Went to this cafe as was going to look around garden centre. .Wife and I eventually chose cottage pie which was served with seasonal vegetables, we both asked lady serving if we could change vegetables for fries to which we was flattely refused..When food came out 15 mins later..half of vegetables were that hard we both couldn't cut threw them..the cottage pie looked and tasted disgusting. .granted they were hot..however both meals had really large chunks of undiced mince, sloppy watery mash and both were totally tasteless. Wife left nearly all of hers and I left about a third. We didn't complain as we never do..just give bad review and never return..At best a greasy spoon quality not cheap and highly unrecommended.

I am sorry to say this after so long of dropping in with my parents who are in there 80s that this was the last time we will be calling. My parents always have the quiche with chips no salad but when we called last week we was informed that we had to have it with new potatoes and salad has it says on the menu. Someone on the next table to us ordered a bacon sandwich and when it come it had salad with it when he asked if they could take it back and take off the salad he got brought a plate has they could not change the menu. This place is OK for plants but for the restaurant well good luck you will have to wait 30 minutes just to put an order in then 30 minutes to get you order with SALAD

We visited this garden centre on Sunday 17 June 2018 and although the garden centre was ok the cafe was very poor. We wanted a meal but after waiting over 20 minutes in a queue to get served we opted for a drink and cake. People told us in the queue this was a frequent happening and locals just lived with it. I am not a local but we have visited before and the sane thing happened. Staff were also walking past tables which were high with dishes. It’s a shame as the surroundings were nice. I felt sorry for the girl having to serve do drinks record sales and deal with money she looked frazzled and is that hygienic with out using gloves. Sorry but this is a no go for me now and my friends.

A group of 13 walkers descended upon this Cafe at 3pm. We had rung in the morning and were impressed that they had reserved us a table. The group were all served quickly and the cakes were delicious. Lemon sponge was lovely and lemony!

Stopped here for a coffee and late breakfast. Just happened to be passing on a Monday morning, and thought we would give it a try. It was very quiet, so there was no queue and we were served quickly by a friendly assistant.

lack of disabled parking i made three visits no spaces available saturday so i did not stop if you make a complaint to the staff they do not seem to care.so i'm not coming anymore

We eat here often normally for breakfast which is great but have never been here for what I call an occasion like Mothers Day we booked here because both our mums are badly disabled now in wheelchairs and getting in most places now is so difficult it’s so hard taking them places as the paths and entrances are not good enough as my mum has a spinal injury and every tiny bump really hurts. The Watering Can is all flat and so easy to get into. Well the food was truly amazing especially for the price. It’s a cafe but we got restaurant quality food. We would of payed double this price in a pub or restaurant on Mother’s Day as everyone puts prices up. The food was steaming hot very unusual and very pleasing, very hearty portions too big for us but that’s not a complaint hahahahahaha pudding was so amazing the best sticky toffee pudding I have had. Price was unbelievable for the quality and size of portions. 10.00 each it cost us for a main course which was Sunday roast and a pudding either sticky toffee pudding and custard or a cake choices of coffee cake apple pie cream carrot cake lemon meringue and many more all very good portions and a drink. Well you can’t go wrong for 10.00 can you. 2 courses and a drink. The staff are amazing too nothing was too much bother very friendly and put leftovers in tubs for us and my mum had it all again for her tea she was well pleased hahahahhahaha. Very very well recommended.

A great place to stop for a coffee and cake mid cycle journey. They sometimes give you a discount as you are a cyclist but that is a bit hit and miss as it depends on who serves you.

Food normally pretty good but the wait just gets longer. We were in 2 minds if to come, did so and found just one staff member serving and even having to carry the tea cakes through to the kitchen to be taken out. Think she was pretty new and on a Saturday lunch time there was another staff member that seemed to know more but happier hiding in the kitchen.

We are regular visitors here but why at 12.45 the specials are sold out, surely the chef could cook more and perhaps if they didn't run out the food could be frozen for the next day. This seems to happen on a regular basis and we can't always get there earlier.

Firstly the queuing went on forever and it wasn’t busy. It appeared the staff didn’t really know what they were doing.

Visited for lunch one Sunday. Cafe was busy so there was some delay in food service .The lasagne I ordered when it arrived was excellent hot and very tasty .Only criticism I could give was the chips which where basically oven chips when I last visited the chips were home made thick and wholesome .Only a small criticism otherwise excellent food .

Have visited this cafe on many occasions and have always found the food to be excellent - really fresh and always piping hot - delicious!! Today (5/12) we had the 2 course Christmas Lunch and the Broccoli soup was gorgeous - really piping hot - followed by the turkey lunch which was superb - plenty of choice of vegetables - excellent!! The service was really good too even though the cafe was very busy - thank you to all the staff for making our meal so enjoyable. Would definitely recommend the cafe and the garden centre - well worth a visit. Peter and Lizzie

Had a lovely turkey chrustmas lunch here today it was the best I have had it was delicious. My husband had a bigette and that was good too. If youn want a delicious turkey dinner this is the place to come it's a huge portion too.

Service was slow, food nothing to rave about. My wife's sausage roll was served with cold sausage, and my lemon merange pie wasn't freshly made either.

This place can be wonderful the staff are great the main chef is great but the organisation can be unpredictable and chaotic and the food depends on who is cooking. If the chef is on its fine but whoever made the chicken and mushroom pie opened a ton of mushrooms and forgot the chicken

I love this garden centre. It's local to us so we do like to visit often. However the cafe is just non explainable! We have been many times for some lunch and every time I have had to either complain or just leave my lunch as sometimes their attitude isn't great!

My partner and I visited yesterday for some late lunch, we decided here as most garden centre cafes we have visited have a lovely menu, quick service & friendly and helpful staff.

Called in garden centre for tea and coffee with my wife on the way to the coast. My wife chose coffee and a scone I had a pot of tea and a toasted teacake. My wifes scone was rock hard and dry, the garden centre was quiet and obviously the scones had been baked the previous day.

Lovely garden centre selling just about everything! Cafe very clean and well organised, Coffee and scones very nice, staff very welcoming and helpful. Would recommend to friends and family.

I came here with a friend for late afternoon lunch. We had fish and chips because they had sold out of the quiche that I really wanted with a salad but hey I wasn't disappointed as they were very tasty except for the mushy peas which we found to be a bit salty . The service was good but when they run out of things early in the day then please take down the boards as they misleading when you get to order and then have to decide quickly your second choice. Overall we enjoyed our visit and will be back to try the other dishes on offer. Would recommend.

My wife and I have gone here for years on our way to Ulrome and have always looked forward to a bacon sandwich and their famous chunky chips however for some unknown reason it appears the managment have decided not to do the bacon sandwich after 11:30am but you can order a bacon,brie and can berry sandwich but you need to say No BRIE AND CAN I HAVE THE CRANBERRY ON THE SIDE that way you get your bacon sandwich and leave the cranberry (what a waste) plus it costs an extra £1.50 just for the privilege or and I forgot you only get 2 rashers of bacon and they didn't look or taste very exciting. Now for the Chunky chips,well forget it they have stopped doing them and now they are just frozen chips, now here is another piece of information you can have a side of chips for £1extra but don't get to excited I got 7and1/2 but my wife got more she got 8 chips after we said something was given a few more. Sorry but we will not be going again

We have in the past enjoyed our visits here, sadly things have gone downhill again. We visited on Wednesday and left it until after the lunchtime rush and ordered our food at 1.50 pm . We ordered quiche with chips and fish pie both specials of the day. We sat waiting patiently and didn't imagine it would take long as it was quite quiet, how wrong we were . At 14.20 was just going to ask what the delay was when a member of staff approached our table and told us that the chef had dropped the fish pie as he removed it from the oven. You can imagine we were not happy. The staff member was very sorry but didn't suggest any solutions so we asked for our money back. Didn't want to have to wait another 30 minutes. Needless to say we will be reluctant to return.

Not local & recommended by a friendSeriously unimpressed. The whole place was a jumble & laid out almost like a warehouse, a bit of everything. From loo rolls to furniture, books, cards& tacky clothing. A totally disjointed with fairly high pricesDid look to have coffee & cake but found the cafe very unappealing as dark & dismal. Looked more suitable to evening meals rather than lunch on a sunny day

Sigh. I persuaded to visit again, I wish I hadn't bothered. Arrived 12.30 to people ahead of me, 35 minutes later finally got my drink & ordered my jacket potato with Tuna.20 minutes later food arrived. Small o my just cooked potato with reasonable amount of tuna & micro salad garnish. My drink wasn't brilliant & quality of coffee used mediocre at best.Will NOT be returning, staff very slow producing drinks & sorting out orders. Great shame, the original cafe owner produced lovely food, good coffee & service with a smile. No wonder the decent staff left

Called on bank holiday Monday for breakfast,won't be going back,staff slow,unhelpful.2 small breakfasts,came on cold plates ,more beans than anything else ,much better quality in other garden centres

I don't know what it is but garden centres seem to be revamping their cafes, increasing prices but not quality. Still enjoyed our visit today-I had a very nice bacon, brie and cranberry sandwich but my wife had a sausage roll, which looked quite dense and she could not finish it-it was very hard to cut through and so she was disappointed. We shared a very nice sticky chocolate orange cake, so we finished on a high note.

been coming here for a long time staff lovely and the breakfast used to be the best in the area, now its aweful since the change over,the sausages are now tiny and taste only of herbs eggs are over cooked bacon tough no longer any black pudding,thought it might be a one off so tried twice more nope aweful have now found somewhere new ,that's 4 unhappy breakfast eaters.

We decided to have lunch and we were pleasantly surprised what an improvement since revamp and change of decor. Very relaxful atmosphere.My husband had chicken & corn pie with peas and chunky chips. I had lasagne with a lovely fresh side salad & chunky chips.I would highly recommend this lovely cafe.

I had my tea and scone outside today as the weather was great. The food was excellent and the service good. I have tried the hot food before and not been very excited about it but I will give it another try and let you know the outcome. I had the roast beef and it wasn't very tasty.

Had cauliflower & cheese soup with roll for lunch. Soup tasteless (no trace of cheese)and the roll fell apart it was so dry. Impossible to spread butter on it. Tables dirty.Staff ok, food terrible. Will not return.

We visit the cafe quite often but not been this year yet until today. We were very surprised with the revamp and upgrade of the decor, layout and intrigued with the new menu.We had an all day breakfast and it was served to our table hot tasty and plentiful.There were a lot of other groups eating as well as us and the atmosphere was very friendly.We had fresh made coffee latte very nice too.Put on your wish list it is well worth a visit.The staff are very efficient and obliging infact we were served by the chef because the waitresses were all busy. That is team work.Well done to all with thanks.

Absolutely disgusting food!! I have been 3 or 4 times for lunch and all times I have left what I've ordered. The garden centre is local to us and it's a lovely garden centre. I do like to go and have a look round however I refuse to use this cafe anymore! This time I ordered a sandwich with a side salad...with a mouthful of salad in my mouth I thought it tasted funny and as I looked down my plate was covered in mud!! I took my plate back up and the woman behind the counter asked the cook in the kitchen what it was to which he replied "erm pesto" and started laughing with someone else! I couldn't believe how rude he was! And the fact he was taking the mickey about it!! I asked for my money back which was given but that was it! There was no apology, nothing else offered nothing! I wish I had complained higher now but at the time I just wanted to leave. Would strongly recommend that you don't waste your money in the cafe! My 1yr old could cook better than that "chef"

Please and thank you cost nothing - yet Jenny managed to take my order and money without saying either. Come on Cherry Lane - you can do better than this. Give the cafe staff some customer service training and teach them a few basic manners!

I normally keep my mouth shut and do not write any bad comments about any restaurants but this was terrible. We were very hungry so we decided to stop at Cherry Lane cafe shop for an easy and quick lunch but our lunch took more than 30 minutes. It felt like they were cooking proper meal but it was only cheese and ham panini. Very poor service!!! Next time we will just go home as even with travel time we will eat quicker.

I visited for breakfast and i have to say its fantastic! Great portion size, and good price..being from the south we are used to having fresh tomato's but i much prefer tinned like you get here! The staff are so lovely, friendly and attentive!!

Just had a lovely early lunch, I chose Jacket potatoe with prawns which was delicious the side salad was exceptional the best I have ever received , diced cucumber , peppers,different types of lettuce , watercress, radish,tomatoes dressed in their own homemade tasty dressing all in proportion ( usually from other establishments it has been all lettuce ) Hubby had the cooked breakfast nicely presented not greasy and with lovely toast in a separate basket. Excellent

I was recently part of a party of approximately 14 people who had booked a Christmas lunch here, and although I initially wondered how such a party would be catered for in a garden centre cafe environment, I have to say that the experience was great in every respect. The 2 course traditional Christmas meal (3 courses were available) was served promptly upon our arrival, and the food was well cooked, of good quality and plentiful. Service was informal, speedy, and very friendly, and I have no hesitation in recommending Croft Cafe & Bistro as excellent value for money.

We decided to give this cafe another go and glad we did. It appears to be undergoing alterations and this is in its way is improving the appearence. The general service although still slow was friendly staff attentive and welcoming food excellent and well presented hopefully this is the start of improvements.

This is the 2nd time i have visited for lunch and the service gets worse. Even my 8 year granduaghter said she could move faster. Plus the teapot dishusting.

We have been disppointed on our last two visits to the cafe, as meals were not the usual hugh standard but today was excellent. We went for afternoon tea and it was delightful. Four choices of sandwich, delicate with crusts cut off. Nice scone, with clotted cream/jam, coconut cake and lemon cvake, made up the tea, with a nce cuppa. Very impressed-obne of the best we have had.

My friend and I came here for the afternoon tea offer... £10 for 2 people. We got here about 2.20pm as it says on the voucher it's from 2.00pm. It was very busy and there was a bit of a wait. One of the staff members came over and told us they had ran out of fruit scones. When we looked around, the majority of people in the cafe were having afternoon tea so no surprise really. We were asked if we wanted a savoury scone instead. We agreed to this and we're really glad we did. It was a herby, cheesy scone, toasted with butter. We both really enjoyed it. Sandwiches, chocolate brownies, lemon drizzle and our scones.My top tip is get there early. They were telling people by 2.50pm that they had ran out! Excellent value and can't wait to return.

I take my elderly mother to the Croft every week. It is situated within a large Garden Centre, which in itself is well worth a visit. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, the staff very helpful and courteous.There are several different seating arrangements in the spacious well illuminated eating area.There are 4 seat booths, 2 seat tables with soft back chairs, normal square tables that are often placed together to create larger seating arrangements. Recently they have installed several coffee bar style stools/tables.The food is cooked to order and generally served very quickly. The deserts are excellent, and the prices are very reasonable. There is also a customer loyalty card facility.Whether you are a couple wanting to spend an after noon browsing, and wanting to have a quick snack. Or a family that would like a reasonably priced main meal, they can cater for all. My mother and I have frequented the croft for a couple of years and would recommend it without reservation.

We want to the garden centre today from market weighton just because I had a voucher for afternoon tea for two for £10 .It was an awful day raining so thought we would go for this even though a good 10miles away. I checked the voucher for date and time . It states to come after 2pm which we did but on arriving was told this does not include Saturday's and Sunday's .The assistant stated that the voucher did not state this and that it was a printing error they could not put right. Very disappointed and a waste of time and petrol. People do work all week days. So voucher no good for us .

The afternoon special was £10 for an afternoon tea for two. It was really filling and consisted of four different types of sandwiches, cream scones, lemon drizzle cake and a chocolate brownie. We were told to ask for more water for our tea if we needed it and were very full by the end. Service was a little slow but really enjoyed the meal.

Lovely dinner in this restaurant set in a garden centre. We had roast beef dinner for around £7 apiece, for what was on the plate great value. The restaurant was clean,tidy and uncluttered. Just dropped in for garden centre but decided to have dinner. Will most certainly consider visit again when in vicinity.Keep up the good work to all staff.

We have been going to Cherry Lane for years now and we have just had the best Sunday Roast ever. We would highly recommend a visit. Keep up the good work Gary and staff.

We visited twice whilst on holiday staying in Beverley, once for lunch and once for breakfast. Both times were lovely, food was fresh and delicious. There was a lot of choice on the menu. Didn't sample the cakes but they looked great! Staff were friendly, couldn't fault the service. Both breakfast and lunch were very pleasant.

My husband and I had lunch yesterday and it was very disappointing. We had pork chops, vegetables and gravy. The pork chops were very tasteless and the gravy was like water, the meal itself didn't look very appetising but as we were hungry we ate it, there was also not much food compared to other meals we have had at garden centres, perhaps we should of had steak pie.

We decided to call for our lunch at Croft Cafe Bistro and had a pleasant suprise to find this Cafe has had a makeover in fact its still not finished properly but they are up and running. It is all very nice and an improvement on how it was last time we were there. We had a jacket potato each which were a bit disappointing as they could have been hotter but was very nicely presented and the fillings were good. Would definitely go again as we do like this place.

Was persuaded to visit again & I was nicely surprised. Not overly busy but no queuing for service, better experienced staff so no long wait for drinks. Lo & behold a decent specials choice & a real vegetarian option. The curry was lovely & served with a mango chutney & personally delivered by the chef !Still don't like the new layout nor the lack of disabled parking, noted the staff only notice had gone from the extra parking.All in all the visit was decided better

Revisited last week after the recent refurbishment. Very pleasant surroundings and reasonable meals in terms of quality, range and portion size. Especially useful location if you want to miss the town centre parking nightmare. Has a deli as well as being a garden centre. Look out for the specials and the fish and chips. I had a pulled pork and cheese burger special with salad and coleslaw - very satisfying. So were the cakes!

Visited this garden today, the staff in the cafe, are pleasant , the food is tasty,presented well ,and hot,, this was around 12-30 ,and been Friday the fish and chips were going down well ,highly recommend this place

Cafe was relatively quiet when we visited so I was surprised when we still had a good five minute wait to be served. Staff were pleasant when we were served at counter. Chose two prawn salads and a prawn jacket potato. All were nice, reasonably priced and they arrived within a reasonable time. Sausage roll had chorizo in which was tasty. Sat outside to eat as it was a nice day but it's a shame there isn't a higher barrier (perhaps floral/planted/showing some items available in the centre?) between the cafe and car park to add to the outside area. Enjoyed our visit but feel this is not quite on a par with a couple of other garden centre cafes in the area, hence the three stars. Seem to be plenty of bargains in the garden centre - well worth a browse and a visit.

We visit the Garden Centre at least twice per week, and always have something from the cafe. Depending on the time of day determines our menu choice, from a full breakfast to just a portion of the home made cakes we always find something to our taste. The staff are all very efficient and caring. Since the completion of the refurb, the cafe has a more relaxing atmosphere, and weather permitting we can enjoy our meal al fresco in the outside dining area. A definite recommending visit is all I can say.

Four of us visited after a walk. Two were pleased with their meal. Myself and friend were disappointed by the pie of the day, which was meat and potato. Yet again it was served in a dish, which I don't like. I want a bottom to the pie, otherwise it is like stew with a top. We akso prefer shortcut pastry. The puff pastry exploded into nothing, when you tried to cut it. The other strange thing was , it was served with chips, however the potato in the pie was mini chips, so meat and chip pie with chips-weird.

The menu improved in April now the cafe has been refurbished (sadly no air conditioning) but it's a lovely environment to have either a snack or something more substantial. Lovely to have the place back up to its previously high standards.

visited monday 1.8.16 ordered welsh rarebit for myself and husband, I asked for small amount of extra sauce as my order had very little on when it was returned to me the staff informed me that the sauce had been on but was under the pile, it had been squashed down to make the sauce spread out and looked like a dogs dinner. I was so shocked I couldn't speak it was absolutely disguisted wish I had taken a photo. I have eaten here numerous times as have all my family and could not believe what had been served to me.
