Digbys Restaurant in Basildon

Do not come here. No menu until at the till and even then majority of menu is unavailable and staff as the till don’t even know this. Guy at till is not good at his job had to repeat order several times and one meal we ordered wasn’t available and we wasn’t told they just bought something else out. Another meal we asked for and guy at till didn’t put it through so whilst everyone else’s was bought out i had to reorder mine and the girl was very rude about this. GET NEW STAFF!!

slowest service. waited 30 mins for a baguette.. salad was dry and got not even half a bag of crisps. also, there was no menu until we got to the till and even then couldn’t find the hot food so expected there wasnt any. sat down and low and behold, a table had hot food? we looked for the menu everywhere. such a confusing place. seems to be no organisation whatsoever.

Very slow service considering we was the only people in the cafe waiting for food..... And no kids options. Wont be using this restaurant again

DOG OWNERS BEWARE. While visiting Alton's Garden Centre with my 83 year old mother, we decided to have lunch at Digby's restaurant. As we had our dog we sat as far from the counter as possible but was asked to sit outside which we did. Whilst waiting for our food it started to rain as the outdoor seating had no cover we asked to move back inside which at first we was told we could but after moving back inside we was then told the manager had said we could only sit outside in the rain.

Lovely restaurant with very friendly staff

Ordered Eggs Benedict and Americano Coffee. Was served filter coffee. Please note that this is NOT the same. Americano is an Espresso with the addition of hot water. Digbys also need to learn how to make Hollandaise sauce and now make it from a packet: it will cost less to make and will taste 100 times better.

Lasagne, chips, garlic bread and salad, and Special sweet chilli salmon and rice with red peppers were both tasty. Unfortunately its success is it's own downfall as there are long waits to order and get hot food at peak times when a there's a queue. Prices surprisingly reasonable for a restaurant inside Alton Garden Centre!

Welcome Coffee Shop at Alton's Nursery.

Always a pleasure visiting. I attached yearly to the garden centre where I choose Christmas decorations with my grandparents. We then relax and have some yummy food. Slightly pricey but great value for money! I have to say the cakes and desserts are superb too. Enjoyable for all.

Good staff, good service, good food. Can get very busy so be prepared for a wait.
