We met family in the restaurant and was disappointed. The chicken and mushroom pie, appeared small and contained little chicken and we couldn't find any mushrooms. The peas appeared hard and tasteless, the chips dry and just warm. The roll that accompanied the soup was extremely hard. Having spent 51 years in the food industry, in my opinion the quality for the price was lacking.

Do not eat here unless you want to throw away your money, we had the pizzas drowned in mozzarella, the coffee was not coffee the cakes were dry, been let down massively by this restaurant. And as you pay online at the table you can’t even tell the staff about the food as they don’t come back over and visit. -10000 stars avoid coming here. Worst £20 ever spent

Bought and paid for 2 teddies for my little ones today and went back in to the food market to get some snacks. The lady at the till basically accused me of stealing and asked to see my receipt after i told her i already paid and came back in to get food. Luckily I had kept it. If I was a white woman with grandchildren that looked like hers she would have taken my word. It doesn't take long to get out of London to experience racism. Overpriced tat is fine but racist staff is inexcusable. Won't be coming back

Always nice when you increase the cost to charities from £500 to £1495 for rink hire. I used to think that Ruxley was a key part to the community but now I know it's just about the money

Beware of their customer service! I’ve been a loyal customer at Ruxley for a long time, but I recently had a very disappointing experience. I bought a large glass picture frame that had a small chip and it easily cracked after I brought it home, even though I handled it carefully. When I returned it to the store, they refused a refund or exchange, blaming me for the damage. I contacted customer service, but their response was overly formal and boiled down to “that’s our policy.” It felt dismissive and didn’t address the poor quality of the product. They also didn’t reply to my response so that’s why I’m writing this review. This experience has really put me off shopping at Ruxley again. I hope they rethink their policies and take customer concerns more seriously. You wouldn’t get this at somewhere like John Lewis.

Awful customer service! Placed an order with them and they took my money , no confirmation of the order was sent . I then tried to call them to resolve the issue.. NOONE ANSWERS THE PHONE !! I then got an email saying they payment is pending and they have no control of it so can’t cancel or accept and asked me to make sure when I place the order the delivery address matches my card address so I placed another order AND AGAIN took my money!!! No order confirmation! That’s £60 they owe me. Absolutely appalled that they have a telephone number and no one actually answers it. I want my money back !! ASAP

Massive place with all sort of lifestyle products but I was there for the plants....garden centre after all. I found the rare plant I was looking for and even had help from a couple of staff members to make my final choice. But I was surprised how small the actual plant section was given the sprawling place. The queuing time at the tills was not great but otherwise I found the staff friendly and helpful. Perhaps it is no longer the place for plant enthusiasts but good for family visits and holiday themed purchases.

This garden center is a must-visit! It's not just a place to buy plants; it's an experience. The cafe is cozy, perfect for a post-shopping treat. The home section offers unique finds, and the Christmas decor is simply magical. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or a novice, you'll find something to love.

Good but overpriced produce and nice plants but the prices are so inflated it’s ridiculous. Add 1/3 on to what you pay in any other nursery. It’s not really aimed at gardeners but at people who want crap plastic reindeer and to overpay for everything. Do your research and head elsewhere. Used to be great a long time ago. (Also. THE QUEUES).

Hey this place is great. It has so much to offer, including a huge Christmas grotto, a food hall, restaurant, and even a barber shop! Loads of parking and all seems very accessible. As with most garden centres this time of year, I'd recommend getting there early.

Had a very disappointing visit to the cafe on 21st November, my fish finger burger and chips was barely warm, the fish gougons were mushy. The food came up very quickly so it seems it had been sitting around for a while. I would have sent it back but my granddaughter had an appointment to keep with Santa.

Ruxley Manor is one of the best family destinations locally. A garden centre doesn’t really serve it justice. Complete with a food court, grocery shop and sections for clothing home wares and seasonal items. On sight you can also experience temporary seasonal events/activities. A Christmas grotto for the little ones, an ice rink and other. Going there for shopping or to just have a nice family day out you won’t be disappointed by the experience.

I do not usually comment on members of staff but feel compelled in this case.During a visit to purchase items from your annual Xmas Display we found some place mats we liked, but there weren't enough on display. So we approached a member of staff (Jo) who was so helpful that I would like to register my thanks.Even though obviously busy she went out of her way to help, nothing was too much trouble and after a search of the warehouse found what we wanted. During our conversation she mentioned it was only her 2nd. Day at Ruxley. Her attitude was exemplary and a credit to herself and Ruxley especially in view of the fact she is only recently a member of your staff.

I visited the cafe, which we do often, wanted to have a coffee and cake, when we tried to order the online system stated that it was a 30 minute wait, which I found unacceptable. I asked a member of staff, who could not help but walked me over to two women, busy talking, who did not immediately stop to deal with my query. The attitude of the, I believe, manager was very poor, did not try to deal with my query. The issues are If it is a long wait, then the small orders should be dealt with separately as someone wanting coffee and cake should not have to wait 30 minutes Also there was an ice cream bar that could have taken the order but we were not informed until the very end of the conversation. Why is it such a long wait, if they know their busy periods, they should take on more staff, and or train the other staff to move from what they are doing to cover the cafe, same with the tills. They should also make it clear online that a coffee and cake can be purchased at the ice cream ber It seems to me that the owner are more interest in profits than providing a decent service, the attitude of the manager was worse than poor. All in all an awful experience

The cafe food let’s this place down massively. Undercooked eggs, and my latte was warm milk with my marshmallows and flake not even on the cup? The toast was bassically bread and my wife’s English muffins weren’t even toasted. £35 for a meal and drinks for 2 I expected more. The garden centre is gorgeous and is a great space however, it’s just the cafe that has detracted from the experience especially if you are travelling.

I went here with my family, and quickly found a parking place. I was amazed at the size of the place! It has fashionable clothes, tools, presents, fresh vegetables, a delicatesent, a café, a massive Christmas array, it really is almost a supermarket but with a lively welcoming feel to it. We spent two hours there. I truly recommend a visit to walk around and it will give you all sorts of ideas on what to buy as a present for someone.

The garden centre is great. Amazing array of plants, pots, garden furniture, ornaments, ponds, everything you need in one place. There's a good shop with a vast number of clothes and homeward and indoor plants. The food shop is pretty good. Less positive is they've closed half of the regular inside space to create a huge Xmas array - very pretty and festive, but it's mid September. The internal restaurant is a bit weird, staff are quite officious which might be because they have a strange service system to follow. Food is patchy, and "fresh" orange juice for £3.99 wasn't even up to Tropicana standards. Overall a great garden centre but I'll stick with the core garden stuff if I go back.

More an emporium than a garden centre. Great food hall (be prepared to pay over the odds here) great quality products, an excellent butchery department. Quality fruit and veg. The home interiors department, for accessories, is exceptional at a price. But again, quality and design. The actual garden centre is well laid out and is well stocked though did not have an Abutilon in stock on this occasion. The Mulberry Tree restaurant is clean and spacious, not cheap but a good place for a break. Disabled Parking is on site. Accessible toilets available.

Although we lived in Chelsfield for over 20 years last night was the first time we’ve used Panda Cook…Although the dishes are a couple of quid dearer than the usual suspects (Lucky House/Bamboo) I’d definitely say it’s worth the extra money….Order was spot on and ready for me to collect within 15 minutes. The food is tasty and nowhere near as greasy as the usual above. definitely recommend and use again.
