Crown Garden Centre Ltd in Selby

SCONES ARE Absolutely gorgeous, can't understand the review that says they are not. We call as often as we can for Lunch and ALLWAYS take a couple of scones home. The cafe as a great fair priced menu is fine and TAISTY. Good cheap plants as well. WELL WORTH A VISIT.

Lovely meal and treated myself to a lovely plant. Will go again.

Just called at garden centre had beautiful coffee and cake in restaurant very nice helpful staff, sadly the same cannot be said for the person on the plant counter !! Had all on to say Hello, Please or Thankyou to my elderly mother!.

Very nice independent garden centre. Friendly staff and reasonably priced.

Very nice, we loved to pop there and have a cuppa

Very well laid out, with good access, for anyone with a disability.

My husband and I used to go regularly for lunch,and often would buy plants on the way out, the prices and range are excellent. I will be visiting again,for sure

Small and reasonably priced garden centre with a nice little coffee shop

Super little place. Good selection of equipment and plants. Great little cafe with good food and excellent. Friendly service.

Sat in the Crown Garden Centre with a coffee and my best friend . .. we were looking forward to a scone on arrival however, they were all burnt and looked more like rock cakes … We then decided to order a toasted tea cake only to be told we were five minutes over the cut off point for serving them … not only that, the lady that served us was so rude …. Absolutely disgusting behaviour, for a local business to refuse there customers of something so small is beyond me . We have now been approached by management and told that everything has been cleaned down in the back ready for lunches .. hello!! It a toasted tea cake In a toaster .. !!! Having had my own business and owned a cafe of my own we would always have gone above and beyond for our customers . WELL NOT HERE, WE WILL NOT BE RETURNING AND WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT WE BROADCAST THIS TOO .. NO CUSTOMER SERVICE AT ALL .. DISGUSTING !!!!

Some very nice plant's, a nice selection of different varieties to chose from, only downside was that all the plants we looked at and checked where desperately in need of water, so some where very close to dying. Plenty of staff wandering around of you needed help a plus. Helpful and friendly also which was nice, I would say that Crown Garden centre is definitely worth a visit if your after variety because it's definitely here. Thank you

Good selection of plants and garden apparel. Breakfast was excellent.

Lovely staff, very helpful. There is a good choice of food, and service in the cafe was quick. The prices are reasonable, and you get value for money. Would not hesitate to eat here again.

Very disappointed with the food,the beef was very thick,hard to get a knife through it,2 Very small roast potatoes which were frozen ones,ordered a large which it wasn't,wouldn't go again

Went for lunch we were late but looked after us and the food was fantastic

Very disappointed with the hot food today smaller portions prices higher. Raw chips microwaved pie with hard solid pastry. Will not be returning to purchase food.

Arrived at 11.35am when breakfast ends at 11.30am... the cook gave the thumbs up and so I thought get in there as I was starving... sadly it all went went downhill from there... They have a big breakfast which consists of 7 items (eg 2 sausages 2 bacon) - I only wanted 4 of them...oh dear.... computer says no... had to have my 4 items entered individually... final price was the same as a big breakfast.... maybe it's me !! maybe I am not wired up right... how on earth can you pay the same for less ?? its bonkers... I should have walked away.... sadly I just let out the Yorkshire War Cry "How Much"... paid and sat down... It crossed my mind that if my 4 items were good then so be it... sadly the bacon was dry and clearly past its best.... my toast arrived 5 minutes after my breakfast and all in all it was not VFM at all...I ended up leaving my last 2 pieces of toast as they were cremated...nothing wrong with the people.... its all about the business model....

Best day is Friday for fish and chips

Never before have I seen such a large selection of plants and flowers and gardening equipment. Well worth a visit with a restaurant/cafe as well.

Plenty of space, plants, garden accessories and tools and the Crown restaurant was good value and service.

Great garden centre very friendly staff lovely cafe we’re we can sit outside with are little dog nice plants and things

Visited to celebrate the wife's aunt's 90 th birthday in the restaurant. Had a fabulous carvery for our Sunday lunch. The staff were wonderful and accomadating.

Always a pleasure visiting this garden centre and cafe, great service, happy and helpful. Lovely food choices, home made scones are a favourite especially the cherry scones

We were wanting to visit an alternative garden centre from our local area . I had passed this business many times whilst travelling along the A19 to Selby so chose it . Its soon passed by so slow a little after passing to or through Askern village north of Doncaster . There is plenty of parking along with what is more than a café . There is a vast range of indoor / out door plants at a reasonable price . I have other garden centres close to my home that are more expensive . I appreciate that business costs have increased and these will be reflected by the cost of produce / service but this place have balanced it nicely rather than whacking the price up on everything . I noticed the café serve Sunday lunch etc with a smaller portion option . We only had a cup of tea here but the portions others ordered would have filled me for the day so all good value for your money spent . I bought three plants for my garden , they are all healthy and budding so looking forward to them blooming . I will be back again and probably have their Sunday dinner !

Great place, good variety of products and a nice cafe. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We look forward to visiting again.

Paid for afternoon tea for two for my mother-in-law and her friend they couldn’t praise the food and staff enough thoroughly enjoyed their afternoon would highly recommend.

Fantastically nurtured plants. Great Gifts. Plus the Cafe served restaurant quality food! - We spent far too long talking, yet they kindly left us to leave when we wanted to.... That just shows how much they care about their Customers!! Fabulous Garden Centre! We will be back!

Great cafe, staff always pleasant and efficient. Hot beef sandwich special fantastic 👍😎

Just been for afternoon tea with my husband, and it was delicious. The sandwiches had generous fillings, the mini cake selection was tasty and the scones looked fresh. (We’ve brought those home to have later as we were too full to eat them there). The thing we both thought was very good was that at the time of booking, we could choose the type of fillings we wanted on our sandwiches, choose the kind of bread we preferred and also whether we wanted to have a mini cake selection or one piece of normal size cake of our choice. There are also gluten free options for those requiring them. We will happily recommend this afternoon tea to our friends and family. The staff were very friendly and obliging.

Amazing salad brunch. staff friendly and helpful, so much we boxed our left overs for teatime, it was the gift that kept on giving. five stars all the way rain or shine their all we need:)

Every thing you need and the Cafe is excellent.

Great choice of gluten free for me. Loved the sweet chilli chicken panini with lemon meringue for afters, lovely staff

Always met by friendly staff, came up for afternoon tea ( you do need to give 24 hours notice) what a lovely tea it was food fresh and full of flavour had to bring the scones home as we were full ,great service and super friendly staff thank you ladies x

Lovely cafe good value Staff are friendly and helpful

Previously quite good,but today ,had to wait due to demand for breakfast.Thoughtdue to high demand breakfast would be freshly cooked, but not,deep fried sausage and bacon hard , cold , cold plates.Not a good experience.What a shame £20 wasted, Should have cooked my own.

The web site is out of focus and there is no menu listed

Brilliant staff very welcoming great choice cafe spot on food brilliant not expensive really enjoy going lovely atmosphere

The staff were very helpful and went out of their way to make us feel welcome and no trouble.

Beyond Epic. Been back again. Great spot

Lovely and friendly as ever,great lunch.

We have just had a Christmas meal for 15 ladies From booking to the meal itself the staff were friendly and helpful The meals were lovely and very good value

Have always found a good choice of quality plants and other products. The cafe is open and very well organised and food is very good

Visited the cafe yesterday with my daughter I must say that the carrot cake was the best I have ever tasted. I am sorry now that I didn’t take a photograph. I would definitely recommend this place.

Good selection of plants and garden accessories

We have just had a lovely lunch at the cafe good atmosphere staff very friendly and knowledgeable as l am Coeliac and require gluten free l felt reassured of the extra effort that went into my meal. They also have a good selection of GF cakes and Scones of which are very nice we will definitely be returning

I visit this cafe at least once a week and it really is fantastic. Staff are brilliant and the food is good, especially the coffee and cake. Last Sunday they catered for a group of 40 people with no fuss. Brilliant.

Nice little garden centre great breakfast in their cafe

I recently came in for hot food, desserts and coffee with my partner and children. The front of house staff were so friendly, thoughtful and efficient and went out of their way to make our experience special. The food was hot and tasted good, and the selection of cakes and desserts was great. We would come back for the customer service alone, it really stands out from other places. Well done, keep it up :)

Took out my mother in law to crown garden centre, food was excellent, staff kind and helpful, plants varied and healthy. All were impressed with our visit.

The Garden Centre Is Well Stocked And It's Shop And Café Are Spacious And Well Maintained. The Staff Are Very Friendly And Welcoming. The Good Range Of Food And Drinks Both Hot And Cold Is Reasonably Priced So As To Be Pocket Friendly ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 Borderline Eleven.

Good cafe and garden centre with just about anything you need for the garden

Super spot. My Cycling Club has been using this Cafe for several months now and we have only good words for them. Prompt, friendly service and first class food. Recommended.

Great little garden centre... called in on a Saturday afternoon was quite... The coffee shop was absolutely beaut...

Called in today for a plant as it was lunchtime we visited the cafe. Ordered a panini with halloumi cheese and chilli peppers. I could not believe it when it arrived as it had not been cooked. I also asked for cream with my americano coffee and was charged fifty pence extra. The table tops were so sticky the knives and forks actually stuck to the table. I don’t know how they got 5 for hygiene. Definitely will not be going back a place to be avoided.

Nice to visit now covid is becoming a memory. Nice coffee in the cafe

Excellent selection of plant's, I personally collect Cacti the plant's available for sale were very reasonably priced unlike some garden centres who charge unrealistic prices.

Well organised and good quality plants. Coffee shop is very good and they actually have gluten free cakes for my husband.

Great place with good quality plants at good prices. Don't forget to visit the cafe.

The cafe was really nice order food brought to your table friendly staff and the plants were all really well looked after spent a fortune

Had lunch in the cafe. Lovely meal, good price and pleasant surroundings will definitely eat there again

Cafe really nice. Good food, friendly staff. An array of good quality plants at a good price.

we have been regular customers for several years of the garden centre and cafe. Just lately scones have been served up stale. I complained to the assistant and was informed "it could be yesterdays". scones are £2,25 each so I expect fresh baked every day. Sell your stale ones off at cost price by all means But I am very keen to eat fresh food. also speaking for others ,"we expect fresh bakes. not sure if the manager has told the hard working staff to dish up inferior food?

We come here quite a lot for plants and stuff for the garden. We do from time to time have something to eat from the café. Went last weekend and had a lovely breakfast. The staff in the café and in the garden centre are all lovely. Some of the 1star reviews I find a little unfair, the service can be a little slow but if you go as soon as the lunch menu begins you will have to wait a little longer because that's their busy time. Overall very nice. Only thing I'd say is it's not easy getting a table and ordering food if you are on your own.

Looked lovely but didn't have push trolleys, (like supermarket one) so was uncomfortable walking with stick and trying to hold a basket, couldn't look properly, so was disappointed and probably wouldn't go back, but would have liked too .

Really disappointed, called for lunch at just turned 2 o'clock, ordered 2 panninis and a bowl of chips.. 30 minutes later still not arrived...won't be rushing back..

Expensive prices on garden equipment and food in cafe very mediocre 🙃

Local, value , well stocked and lovely staff. Been going there for more than 30 years.

Can get what I need here eg pond plants, which other garden centres only have mid summer.

Food lovely, staff friendly, very clean, nicely spaced out, would recommend 👌

food was shocking never go again waited ages for food aswell

Food was lovely staff were very helpful and friendly.

My sister and I have just called at tea time today 17/02/22 and I was looking for a gift, I spotted a candle holder with yellow flowers embedded in it with a tea light in it it was nice but as I picked it up it was filthy and the tea light all dented. I then dropped my glasses on the floor and as I picked them up they were covered in dust , there was loads of it all over the floor and it wasn't just a little The more we looked round everything was filthy and this unit was right next to the Cafe so even though we've eaten there before we shan't go there again I went to the tills and actually asked if the candles came in a box as the ones out were terrible and I told her how filthy everything was and she said its because the outer door gets opened a lot. This fixture was no where near any door Do they think because people don't have to wear masks etc that standards have to drop that much We won't go near this place again, there are far better nurseries to go to

Been here for lunch or breakfast many times over the years but on our last two visits we were very disappointed with the food , even the scones no longer have fresh whipped cream to go on them , the food here was really very good in the past but it must have changed hands we will not be going again ! service is rubbish also !

I have been going to crown garden centre and nursery for last 3 years. Every tree shrub plant as come from them trees shrubs they delivered. Everything in my gardens they supplied. I recommend this place to everybody. This week Monday I purchased plants Xmas wreaths and two sets of fairy lights , when I got them home one was faulty. Because they were low value. I mislaid the purchase receipt. Each item cost £7.99. I returned one set to them This Wednesday to exchange this faulty product. It all changed when I arrived. 18 miles round trip. They treated me complete suspicions that I was trying to pull the wool over them. Treating me like criminal intentions were in play it I was out to fraud them out £7.99 It over 30 minutes for to exchange the faulty lights. If this is how loyal customers are treated. They need to retrain customer facing staff. I have given one star because I was unable To score less. A very disappointed loyal customer E Barker

Lovely family run Garden Centre staff very helpful and pleasant the food in the cafe is brilliant 10 out of 10

We had been regulars in the cafe pre pandemic but felt the initial offering upon their reopening to be not good enough. More recently we have revisited and are pleased to post that the staff are pleasant and helpful, the food we have had is good quality and good value. We are pleased to say we shall be returning.

Nice garden centre reasonabley priced plants and a nice clean cafe area

Lovely food. Large car park. Well stocked garden centre with healthy plants and all your garden needs

Excellent garden centre. A good range of healthy plants. Food in the cafe was very good too - good portions.

We have been regular visitors for a number of years, buying plants, compost, and having lunch in the excellent cafe. However on Sunday we were disappointed to find the cafe changed from a wide menu of nicely cooked and presented food to a range limited to Sunday lunch with no stuffing and tired vegetables or cakes. They couldn't even find any mustard! The plants were excellent as usual, but come on Crown, get your cafe back to its former glory.

Very good garden centre. Good, healthy plants. The cafe is excellent too.

Cafe very good as long as they have gluten free available when I visit

Clean n tidy, friendly staff, nice looking plants, decent cafe, plenty of seating and a good sized car park.

Lovely relaxing experience , cafe food is lovely and home made cakes are a bonus :)

Lovely garden centre, just what you would expect from a quality garden centre, also has a cafe to make your visit more enjoyable.

Fantastic Garden centre with a lovely restaurant and great staff. Great selection of plants and shrubs trees. And dog friendly. Brilliant.

Excellent products..staff very helpful.

This garden centre must be now one of the best. Fantastic range of garden flowers and shrubs. Also great cafe with giant scones. Well worth a visit

Love this garden center always a good selection

Nicely set out both indoor and outdoor, lots of choice of plants and shrubs,with shop and cafe.All in all good experience.

I don't know whats happened to this place? It used to be a cheerful busy coffee shop / restaurant. The long wait with just 3 people in the que went on for over 20 minutes. Flustered assistant kept asking for help from the kitchen , 4 or 5 young ladies standing around chatting, unwilling to help. The flat white was a bitter something or other. Very poor all round!

Just called in for a coffee and a look round.First time we have visited, very nice and we will be going back for another look and visit the Cafe as well. Well worth a visit and a very good selection of plants. A lot larger than it looks when you get there and go in. Plenty of parking and little barrow's to put your plants in. The shop next to the Cafe is well worth a visit and lots to look at. Staff are friendly and very helpful. All socially distanced which us the normal by now.

Enjoyed a good homemade lunch I pleasant safe surroundings.

Lovely Garden Centre with a large range of plants.Cafe has a nice layout and is inviting.

I Love coming to this garden centre. It's local and a nice size to be comfortable. Staff are very friendly, and the floral and garden products section has great variety, and all very reasonably priced. There is a restaurant that we often use but not on this visit. Good food and drink. Highly recommend Crown Garden Centre.

A pleasant experience at both the cafe and the plants etc. Good value for money and staff friendly

Have visited several times. The food we have been served has been okay. We can say we have had nothing bad, but, equally, nothing has been up from average. It has been a very useful place to know during lockdown when we could not meet indoors as the restaurant has a section which allows outdoor eating. It can be a bit chilly given the British weather but it is dry. There is a breakfast menu until 11.30 and a lunch menu from noon. Between the two there is just sandwiches and cake.

Prior to the pandemic this was a place that my wife and I really enjoyed visiting on many Sundays for a roast lunch. Great food with generous portions at a reasonable price. Over the past month we have returned on two occasions. On both occasions...

The head gardener was very helpful. Lovely breakfasts in the cafe

Great choice of plants and friendly staff
