We visited in late January so it was not busy but it was a pleasant experience. All staff were friendly and it was a very clean, tidy and a well stocked centre considering it was out of season. We looked round the restaurant, which looked lovely, but elected to sample the gelato instead. We were not disappointed, it was delicious. We even asked what made gelato different to normal ice cream and the manager explained it was due to the aeration process during making and was very knowledgeable. She explained they made the gelato on site so it is not bought it. This was impressive. We looked round the food court which was relatively high priced, but the quality of stock on offer was fairly representative of the price. The till staff were extremely friendly and polite when serving us when making our purchase. I would recommend visiting and would return again during the peak season.

Great place to rummage & purchase items from Gardens, BBQ's Christmas decorations including lights, plants & outdoor clothing you get the idea. Just like everywhere else it's pricey. The cafe is great also

I love the food hall at Ruxley, especially the butchers. Great selection of good quality meat. Never had a bad buy. They have a extensive selection of plants and flowers, and gardening products, as well as lots of homeware and gifts. It is a little more expensive than other places but always good quality.

Came to Ruxley for the Christmas grotto and had a brilliant time! Everything was on time and really gave you the magical feeling that Christmas is all about. It was nice that it was not just about presents but exploring, learning and engaging. There were some toys to choose from at the end which was reasonable given the price of the ticket. We got a great picture with Santa and the staff were brilliant with remembering names, ages and interests. Afterwards we visited the cafe, it was not too busy in the week and we had some really nice food. The price is what you would expect and it was nice to order directly from your phone (or you could go to the till). Later we visited the garden area to see the Christmas lights, gifts and plants. There was a huge selection and it’s great for the children to be able to see the fish, reptiles and twinkly lights. If you’re looking for something to do around Christmas time then I would definitely recommend coming here to get into the spirit!

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

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.

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.

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).

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

Lovely spot. You can book but you can also walk in. Great brunch but also great just for a drink. The hazelnut croissant is amazing and I've never tried anything like it. The staff are really attentive and the record store at the back is a lovely weekend activity. Kid friendly spot.
