Dumbles View at Floralands in Gedling

The worst breakfast ever. My wife and i had the same, 2 poached eggs on toast with a rasher of bacon. The eggs were hard the toast was tough and so was the bacon. The pot of tea tasted like sardines and had to leave it. I had been to a Hospital appointment and was looking forward to a nice light breakfast,so disappointing. I wouldn't serve a meal like this,it should have been binned,and recooked as it's not rocket science to produce soft poached eggs. Will not call again.

We visited Flora lands as the sun was out & we thought we would sit outside.Husband ordered two cheese sandwiches with drinks,the drinks arrived & 20 minutes later still no sandwiches,so we waited another 5 mins,nothing.Hubby asks one of the staff members,we could hear them talking & then some one came out to say the chef had left early & they thought he had made the sandwiches,any way they were lovely really tasty.But as we sat eating another couple came outside & their order came out but they didnt get milk for the tea,then another couple came out & their order was not right.I don`t know what is going off there but people wont return if they can not get simple orders right there was plenty of staff on duty.

Best cafe in the area, fab staff and quality drinks. quick service with a smile. Management are brilliant, always welcome you when they are in.

Nice and friendly cafe. Situated in the garden centre. Really nice coffee and the Cakes are amazing too. You can sit outside when the weather is good on like a wooden decking veranda as well.

We popped in for lunch an opted for the pie and veg. Lady at till was friendly. The main course arrived quite quickly, sadly it rather went downhill from there. My wife’s pie was partially heated , veg was very bland and without taste. Undeterred we decided to give the dessert a chance. It was a rather long time coming. When it arrived it was incorrect , we had ordered lemon sponge and sticky toffee pudding both with custard. We received a chocolate sponge and a lemon one. The ‘custard’ resembled slightly thickened milk , and had an indeterminate taste. All in all it was an experience, but sadly one we are unlikely to repeat.

This is our local for a one stop coffee a teacake. Very nice setting overlooking the garden centre and an ideal first stop before the plants and gardening.

As it was a wet and rainy day myself and my wife thought we would try out the cafe at floralands and how delightful thee experience was. We sat down on thee more comfortable chairs Infront of the fireplace in the centre of the room. We ordered a pot of tea for two and my wife had soup and savory. Soup of the day (cream of broccoli) a garnish salad, ham and cheese croissant and a small pot of crisps. Myself had the ham and cheese omelette. Both was delicious and highly recommended. Although majority of the staff we youngsters. There was a tall but very curtious man who asked us if we needed anything else, provided us with good care and made us feel very welcome. After we finished I asked for a pudding and he gave me extra custard because I said I love it homemade. While I was eating it I looked over and offered to escort a lady with crutches to her car holding an umbrella for her, which I thought was very kind and gentlemanly. We can't wait to visit again.

Quality ingredients mostly sourced locally, chef and manager very friendly and helpful, lots of outdoor seating to watch the various animals in the farm park All the girls serving are very good and nothing is too much trouble Can very highly recommend

This is probably the last time we'll visit this cafe as each time our experience gets worse. 2 of us ordered the cream and jam scone which looked delicious. First mouthful and I had to spit it out as the cream was going sour! It was the same for the other scone, so I took them to the counter and told the young woman. Rather than apologise she grudgingly asked us to choose something else. A plain scone with a pot of jam and clotted cream was chosen and a piece of cake. I was told that I would have to pay more for the cake! I refused and reminded her that we had just been sold 2 scones that had gone off. She handed over both items and said the manager wouldn't be happy! I told her to send them over to me, but no one came!

After a long wait, we got our Cheese scone. According to the menu, it should come with salad and crisps also with cream cheese and onion relish. It came with butter. A young waitress was sent to placate us while management kept out of the way. But the coffee was good. This place is now off our list for future visits.

We visited the cafe after a lovely afternoon at the flora lands farm. The staff were very abrupt and one member of staff in particular made us feel very uncomfortable. A family at the table behind us received the same treatment and left quite quickly. My husbands coffee was luke warm he took it back and they must have put it in the microwave, he almost burnt himself. The food is very over priced, I would not recommend a visit!

This place is filthy. Food wasn’t any better either. My daughter opened a menu and a beetle crawled out of it. Looks like mice dropping down the side of the sofas. Staff miserable food overpriced. The tables around us was full of everyone’s finished food for a good 30 mins before anyone collected. Flys flying around your food whilst your eating is just disgusting.

We visited on a Saturday when the Artisan Food Fare was on, our children enjoyed spending there money on pastries and sweets and we all sat in the cafe area drinking tea and juice, the service was great, the cafe clean and welcoming and the Jam Tart was fantastic!!! We enjoyed getting out of the rain and being back in the real world!!!! Thank you, see you again soon.

The worst food and service for a long tme. The staff are rude and ignorant and would rather talk and crack jokes to one another than serve customers. If i owned this cafe I would be one unhappy boss. Our group went elsewhere to finish our day. Good money and customers lost!

Invited here by friends for afternoon tea, it was excellent. Tea pot was refilled when required, good was good quality, varied and plentiful. It was as particularly nice to have a combination of savoury and sweet food. We had sandwiches with different fillings, quiche, sausage rolls, pork pie, savoury and sweet scones and various cakes. We all took goodie bags home as there was so much food. Would definitely recommend for afternoon tea.

Well what can I say. Ordered one savoury and one sweet afternoon tea to takeaway. Absolutely amazing. Lovely filled sandwiches prawn,tuna,cheese,egg mayo, also quiche, sausage rolls, pork pie,cream scones cakes and fruit. They even changed a scone for me so that we could both have...

We visited this cafe at our local garden centre for a light lunch. It would seem that the garden centre has new owners after it’s closure last year. Unfortunately since reopening it has never reached the previous owner’s standards and to be honest is now...

Had been a while since visited Floralands. As before the cafe is very pleasant with lovely seating and well set out. Relaxing coffee at the side of the fire. Excellent Americano. Disliked the scones. Bread with sultanas! Staff very friendly. Nice atmosphere.

Great place to visit. Reasonably priced food and drinks and very comfortable surroundings. Children's area and caring staff.

Love this cafe, the staff are always friendly and most helpful. It's great to have the food served to your table when you have little children with you. The children's meals at only £2.99 Are not only nutritious but good value for money with good...

The newly updated cafe is well run has excellent facilities and a pleasant atmosphere. The waitress service works well, together with the availability of the shop and garden centre it is well worth a visit and we will be returning to enjoy another visit.

Hubby and I found this cafe when we were looking for the crematorium. We’ve never been before and just fancied a drink. We thought the areas around the cafe were great! Little wooden huts selling gifts and crafts, & one hut in particular selling antiques,...

I visited the cafe for lunch after a trip to the farm with my 2 young boys and my sister and unfortunately the food was very disappointing. It all arrived suspiciously quickly after ordering and being a caterer myself I know that means it wasn’t...

Always used to enjoy visiting this cafe and was devastated when the garden centre closed down in the summer. When it reopened, we decided to visit on the very first day and what a change!! Food is excellent and well priced and (most importantly) cooked...

One of the worst coffee shops I have ever visited. The first thing I saw when I approached the counter was an older member off staff showing his bottom. He continued to serve food and walk around the seating area showing a good half moon....

My Wife & I called in for Coffee Tea & Cakes but as other reviewers have mentioned you may have to wait a while. The problem seems to be that the serving counter is very small, it can only serve two customers at a time...

This was a visit with family for lunch when visiting the Farm Park within the garden centre. I think this café may have upped their game since the last reviews were posted as I hardly recognised this café on reading the other ones! Very nice...

I meet my friend here, on occasion (we both work nearby), but the prices are too high - a piece of cake about £4..... the service is VERY SLOW too, and the cafe gets packed with children at times...I love kids, but unlike my own...

A cafe/restaurant in a run down garden centre offering the standard range of meals (pie, lasagne, chilli, fish and chips, sandwiches, panini etc) but prices are high for a place of this type and the service is appalling, took them nearly an hour to serve...

I came for a weekday lunch with my mother and we decided to opt for hot food off the "specials" board over the disappointing sandwich selection. Listed here was "curry of the day". I asked the lady at the til what the curry of the...
