Eastwood Park Garden Centre Cafe in South Gloucestershire

We regularly use the garden centre and cafe and have always found standards excellent. However, our last visit was marred by finding hair in our food. The young man in the kitchen could be seen preparing food with his hair falling down over his face that day. We were rather appalled as standards have always been amazing from the look of the plants and gardens to the toilets which are spotless, everyone seems to take great care in their work, so we hope this is just a one off as it is our go to place for all things garden, the staff are super friendly, knowledge and very helpful. Perhaps the staff could be encouraged to wear the appropriate PPE in the kitchen and cafe. We will be back and hope that the unfortunate incident won’t be repeated .

Called in by chance when passing , got a table straight away … Menu adequate, include a roast dinner on the menu which looked yummy …

In a world where it costs nothing to be kind, I felt it was extremely important to feed back Today I visited the garden centre, to grab a few essentials, & as per came away with more! As an RHS qualified horticulturist, I was very impressed with Ann Marie’s knowledge & attention to detail I also witnessed her helping another female gardener/client to load her car…. Clearly very caring & thoughtful Made me smile & feel proud of us ‘strong, independent women’

Lovely classic cafe food served in a large capacity room with availability to sit outside if the weather permits. You can watch your children play happily on the great play equipment. Have a browse around the fantastic garden centre which stocks a huge variety of plants bought in by garden centre Manager Mark. Search out the awesome always happy and smiley Ann-Marie and she will answer all your gardening queries. She has a wealth of knowledge and is always happy to assist and nothing is too much trouble. She has helped me to transform my cottage garden. A lovely place to lose yourself for a few hours.

We booked last minute for 30 people to have breakfast Ann Marie was totally amazing and helped with booking ect and everyone was looked after the food all came out hot and tasted lovely all the staff were so kind and thoughtful nothing was to much trouble

Great spot, inside and out seating, great staff and food and cakes. Even the toilet is clean. Car park and garden center so good all of it.

Really fantastic customer service from Sarah today. We had a lovely hot drink and she took the time to mix the hot chocolate poder with the milk. We got exactly what we asked for.Would certainly reccomend

Enjoyed a delicious lunch here - we ordered Brie and cranberry ciabatta panini and the tuna and cheese ciabatta panini. Both were really tasty and generous portions. They arrived really quickly too. Staff were attentive and friendly, cleaning tables often and keeping on top of cleanliness which is a big plus. Thank you!

Like previous reviewers went for gardening bits in the garden centre but discovered this lovely cafe in the grounds. Cakes and drinks were all very nice. Attentive staff. Nice area for the kids to play in too. What’s not to like?

Our visit was originally to go to the Garden Centre for pots and compost. We saw people going to the top of the site and decided to follow and were we in for a surprise. A lovely modern cafe with an extensive breakfast menu and wide selection of cakes/snacks. We decided to order two breakfast (a vegi and a large traditional). After about 15 minutes, our order was brought to the table and I have to say we both throughly enjoyed our meals which were freshly cooked, hot and plentiful. The coffee and tea were also tasty and welcomed. There was lots of seating space both indoors and outdoors and the toilets (gents) was d spotless. We will certainly return back to this establishment which is fairly local to us. We did of course go to the Garden Centre bit and buy what we had originally come for.

Visited here for the first time, spent 15 mins waiting to be served at the till, then placed order for two toasted sandwiches which we were advised was a 20 min wait for. Limited Menus, not enough staff . Sadly the person serving on the till makes the coffee so this slows everything down. Sandwiches only and jacket potatoes, wont be back

Came to the garden centre for lunch with my parents and was really impressed. The cafe was clean and spacious. The menu was great with something suitable for everyone and at very reasonable prices. The food was served very quickly and we were very impressed with how good it was. We decided to have a wonder around the garden centre afterwards and it was lovely. There is a fantastic play area for kids and also some farm animals to see which was a nice touch. They have a vast variety of plants for sale, all reasonably priced, and also a great selection of gardening goods too. The till staff were very knowledgeable about the products and we were served by a lovely lady who was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be going back soon. Cannot recommend this garden centre enough - great staff, great food, good products, perfect for all ages, especially for young families.

Came for breakfast for the first time since the refurbishment and enjoyed our visit. The vegetarian breakfast was tasty and was a good portion. Service was quick and the atmosphere was nice.

Breakfast was tasteless Eggs tasted liked metal between our 3 meals we had Under and over cooked eggs. No sour dough option Very dated presentation

Visited with friends. Selection of plants quite good but what amazed us was the tea rooms. Lovely coffee - nice and hot - and the baked potatoes superb. Friendly, efficient staff - everywhere spotless. Would highly recommend just for the tea rooms.

Really made a great job of the new restaurant and play area for the children and the garden centre itself is very well stocked - so a 5 out of 5. Unfortunately, the same could not be said of the service in the restaurant itself. One poor lady under tremendous pressure having to do everything, including fetching cutlery from the kitchen when they ran out! Ordered cakes and tea ( fruit scone with butter/cream/jam which when it arrived was a plain scone and no butter). Not blaming her for one minute as the queue was getting longer and longer but throughout she kept her smile and was very polite indeed. So, please management, a little thought for your staff and ultimately, your customers.

Visited the restaurant for lunch. Very disappointed! Firstly the girl at counter advised they only had the one menu with limited light meals. However people on the next table were served gammon, eggs chips and salad, basically food that wasn't on the menu that we were given and told it was the only one. Also the bowl of chips we ordered were cooked in old fat and didn't taste nice at all. It wasn't cheap either. The original cafe used to serve a good variety of home cooked food, sadly no more. It's a great shame because Eastwood garden centre is such a nice place to take the children and they have a good selection of plants. We certainly won't be using the restaurant again.

Lovely setting, cafe was clean and tidy and food was delicious. Team were welcoming and approachable. Outdoors there are a few animals and a play park for the children. Looking forward to visiting again

Recently revamped and it looks lovely (but play area and cars etc still there - yay !). Lovely coffee and cake (chocolate Orange cake). Reasonably priced. Breakfasts looked fantastic and will return for one soon!

Popped in for breakfast today, went large as busy day, wow food suberp and piping hot, friendly staff and more than enough good tasty food., will definitely be back .

No cafe open due to the lock-down but I write this review as the friendlieness of the garden centre staff is second to none and therefore deserving of praise.Nice selection of plants and pots and hopefully they will be back to normal as soon as possible.

Love the plants reasonable prices But went to go through wrong entrance member of staff said " don't listen then, I meant this way' in front of queue of people.

First time here and it was a very nice surprise. Good garden centre in it's own rights with pleasant, polite staff.Decided on coffee/tea and toasted teacakes. Lady serving was very nice indeed and the little cafe old-fashioned but warm and cosy. Teacakes were lovely as was the tea (coffee a little on the strong side for us) and the prices were very reasonable.Will visit again if along this road.

Cafe itself 3 stars, facilities 5 hence a total review of 4 stars. The cafe is quite dated, with quite a traditional menu. Coffee is ok and reasonably priced. The facilities are amazing - big play area, toy cars, sand pits, play houses, pets corner. You could stay for hours. Food and drink average but definitely worth it to use the facilities.

Went to this garden centre for some plants and found this first class restaurant had a lovely snack well worth a visit

Great small garden centre with a real garden! Pleasant atmosphere but food was a little disappointing compared to last visits. Had a sausage baguette which was very poor value compared to our favourite which is crammed packed with 4 items using very good quality items. Have noticed other fillings aren't so good either. shame as it's a really nice place. It would have been much better if sausage was a proper sausage not a cheap tasteless version and offer of onions would have made it more tasty.

I went there yesterday with my toddler and baby to meet with a friend and her 2 children (2 toddlers).Plenty of parking and free use of the playground, this place was already winning on my tick list for places to visit!The Garden Centre had everything there expected for a garden centre (a range of flowers and items for the garden - lovely decorations for the garden and reasonably priced too!) Our main objective was to go there for a playdate and a coffee and it was lovely. There are 2 play areas - one area has a sandpit, a two-tiered play house, a house climbing frame and a set of swings, the other park has the adventure playground, slides, swings, ride-on toys etc that can be utilised.Whilst the variety of snacks were limited, there was something for everyone to enjoy in there (Gluten Free options available too!). We had the sausage roll (which was delicious!) and coffees - all of which were well priced/cheap!My friend had mentioned that there is also a petting area for the children to visit animals - something of which I will be returning with my children to experience! The reason why I haven't given this place the full 5 stars is because that between the 2 parks was a hendge (approximately 8ft tall) that divided the 2 parks. Whilst it couldn't be helped by the park, there were also wasps that were constantly attacking us! I would recommend this place as somewhere for the children to play and for the adults to have a catch up.

We visited the garden centre last weekend and visited the restaurant for lunch. I had the liver and onions off the specials board and loved it...a real reminder of mum's cooking as a child. The service was quick and no complaints about service even though they were quite busy.Would certainly visit again, very enjoyable and a little gem not far from Thornbury.

I went with shopping list but came out with so many things not in my list and minus 2 items l really wanted!A quirky place so different from the Wyvales, Dobbies etc.Because it is local l call in often but know l will still have to go to Over Lane to get all the plants on my list.The cafe is really nice and good to go for simple meals.

We were visiting our eldest daughter, her husband and our two grand children. One of our grand children asked if we could go and see the animals at the garden centre.We were surprised to find it open on Easter Sunday, so agreed to go. The cafe was open so we ordered drinks and cake. The Carrot cake was delicious according to four of our party. As was the caramel shortbread.Nice family business, very busy and worthy of a visit.

had looked this garden centre up on line as we had passed it on a previous trip. pictures on web were stunning making us want to go there. how disappointed we were. food was ok but nothing to rush back for ,toilets were dirty. admittedly we went in march so there is time to bloom, animals looked unkempt. staff looked as if they didn't want to be there. everywhere just looked neglected.

All trees were £29.99 and lots of perfect looking trees. Extreamly happy!! Great place!! Definitely going to go back!

Simple small cafe with homemade good food and at very reasonable prices compared to other garden centres.

I was attending a training course at Eastwood Park so came in here for some food and coffee, nice place and a lovely setting

Egg, sausage, two rashers, lg tomato, mushrooms, baked beans, toast and coffee, yummy and served by friendly staff. The cakes are nice too.

Had the most awful bacon sandwich ever. Soggy fat on the bacon when I asked for it to be crispy and bread soaked in so much butter that I couldn't eat it.

Fui con mi hija y mis nietos de 3, 10 meses y 5 semanas. Un fantástico jardín vivero y centro pero no concluye allí. Hay un salón de té/café brillante. Refrescos encantador. Excelentes precios. Zona de aseos y bebés limpio y bonito. La guinda del pastel es el estar al aire libre y la gran zona de juegos y juguetes! Ideal para los 3 años y 10 meses. Columpios y trepadores para diferentes niños de así como el empuje a lo largo de tren, tractor y quad! Además, son animales, cabras, patos, cerdos, conejos y cobayas. Todo parecía estar bien cuidados y contentos. Los jardines y son hermosas. Los perfumes como pasas son impresionantes. Fuimos a un curioso y almuerzo y pasamos horas jugando con los más pequeños en el sol. Les encantó y hemos encontrado un gran lugar para llevar a todo el mundo de mi madre que me encantaría la plantas, jardines y cafetería a los nietos que adoran los juguetes y los animales. Bien merece una visita.

I didn't realise this little gem was even in the garden centre! Great home cooked food and perfect portion size. tip:If you want a bigger helping just ask (I did and I got loads)

Este pequeño café en la parte trasera del jardín goza de fantásticas vistas a la campiña Sur de gloucestershire. Fuimos un día soleado y fue precioso para sentarse fuera. Inicio almuerzos calientes preparados a un muy buen precio.

Metimos en aquí en mi camino de vuelta desde Bristol, para una comida ligera tenía la batata y sopa de pimiento rojo que venía con una baguette! Buen tamaño, sirve. Buena comida casera, con una gran variedad de opciones de comida y pasteles! Recomendaría un personal amable dispuesto a ayudar!

Los padres que son los llevó críticos estrictos.

Mi marido y yo nos detuvimos para el almuerzo. No hay mucha variedad, pero tuve el pollo asado que me pareció una buena relación calidad-precio, pero cuando llegué, me podía ver que no era! - sólo dos patatas, verduras, pollo cocinado, y no el relleno o acompañamientos. Sin embargo, mi marido tenía un bonito pollo coronación de baguette. Agradable zona de estar exterior y buena para los niños.

El jardín en sí era agradable y estaba impresionado con la zona de juegos y los animales. La única cosa que nuestra visita fue el café. No nos gusta el aspecto de la comida, así que nos tomamos un café, que no era muy bueno,...

Un salto por 3. 30 Un Sábado para el té de la tarde, pero que había dejado de servir! ! ! ! ! ! ! Jardín la comida era buena, pero necesitaba, así que no pudimos disfrutar tanto como yo había gustado.

Me dicen que no hacen comida rápida pero buena comida servida tan rápido como podemos y tienen razón. Precios razonables y de buena calidad con una junta de platos del día

Fancied going somewhere different thought we would have lunch here lovely place staff friendly helpful nothing to much trouble had baguettes for lunch very reasonable priced xdef go again

We stayed at Eastwood park as our friends had their wedding reception there. Beautiful location and building. When we checked in we were told that were in 'the garden wing'. We were quite excited and were anticipating a beautiful view overlooking the grounds. When we arrived to our room there was nothing to do but laugh. Calling it 70s decor would not really give you a real idea of how awful our room was. So here is a breakdown View onto what looked like an air conditioning unit Cord like carpet that creates a static like reaction when moving across the roomTacky and dated 'accessories' from poundland Bathroom that your great grandmother would've been proud of Broken toilet (cistern didn't fill up and made constant noise) Dodgy doors that didn't fit (like an inch gap) Poor sound proofing, especially when the cleaning staff decided to have a chat about their mate Brian whilst working in the corridor. In summary, if you want the nostalgia of revisiting your primary school trip dorm rooms, then you're in the right place. The only thing this place is missing is the bunk beds.

We visit here with family occasionally. It's a small nice little garden centre with tea room, play area and pet area.Our grand daughter loves the play area which is located by the cafe. Few picnic benches there and a few more outside tea room. There's a small animal area with pig's, goats, rabbits, hamsters etc. The tea room is small but pleasant. We've only been at quiet times but imagine they'd struggle at busy periods. Coffee is always on the weak side unfortunately! They only thing that let's it down is the sewage smell around the play area and out door eating area ..and if the breeze is blowing your way....poo-hoo!!

A fairly large group of us called in here as a quick stop while riding to Weston and back, over a 200 mile ride. The café was busy and combined with everyone waiting to be served we lost a lot of valuable time. Not really the cafés fault, but they seemed to struggle with a large volume of people in one hit, some confusion over who had ordered what?However, when the food arrived it was nice and tasty and the staff were all friendly. If we are down this way again doing a similar stupid length ride then we will call in again, but if its busy then we probably would not stop.

We love dropping in here for lunch or just a cake & coffee. Staff always friendly and helpful. Nice to sit outside on benches or in the conservatory when cold or wet.Very family friendly location....play area and some animals to see.Its a good garden centre as well....small but worth a visit.

I have been here several times, this time I just went for a cappuccino. The coffee is very nice, but to me it tastes quite weak, so if you like it strong then you need to ask for an extra shot as they only use one shot of coffee otherwise. It's a great place to go when it's not raining as they have a lovely garden to sit in and children's play area.

A lovely little cafe in its own building hidden at the other end of Eastwood Park Garden centre........ With play areas for children .

I have been here several times with the family (wife and daughter) for Sunday lunch and afternoon tea. We are always impressed with how quickly the Sunday lunches are served, the deal with a desert included is very sensibly priced and the roasts are tasty. The staff are helpful and friendly. Good job!

The cafe has now been improved with the conservatory seating ,we had a nice pot of tea and cake here but you can get a light menu here.Nice surroundings with play area and pets corner and out side eating.Afterwards indulge in plant buying before setting off home.

Brilliant cake, particularly bakewell tart and lemon drizzle. Nice little area to sit outside, playground for the kids to use, and a small farmyard to see, (goats, rabbits, ducks and geese)

We have often had coffee and a cake or super bacon sandwich here. Today we had lunch of prawn sandwich and tuna and cheese toastie and coffee. Excellent value, served with salad, all for bargainous £12! Helpful, friendly staff.Lovely independent garden centre too!
