Very disappointed with this only fools and horses afternoon tea! The staff were like zombies! No personality at all, the only thing going for them was they were slagging us off after we told them they over charged us and we found hair in our cakes! (Which they were doing in the kitchen and behind the counter) They forget drinks… They were eating behind the counter and stuffing their faces in the kitchen! We had to ask several times for milk for our cups of tea…. At one point two girls had phones out behind the till sorting their hair and makeup out…. As a regular customer we are doubting about coming back for anything now. Mini fish and chips were okay.., that’s about it….

We have been to the cafe several times before and been pleased with service and food. Very disappointed this time. No cheesecakes on offer just a small portion of Keylime Pie and a Banoffee Waffle that was served with banana chips (too hard to eat) and very hard fudge cake toppings..... where was the fresh banana ???? Neither value for money.

This Garden Centre was recommended to us so we decided to go & have a look around. I think the website makes it look nicer than actually going there. The plants that were there were half dead due to the sun being on them, there was not much choice of plants etc & it felt a bit deflated when we got there. It appears that there is not much that looks good, to be honest. Decided to have lunch, which is probably what brings people in because there are afternoon teas available in different themes like Lilo & Stitch, etc & they do look really nice. Lunch was nice & a decent variety available on the menu & they do cater for dogs as well. Unfortunately it is probably not somewhere we'd go back to as a garden centre it seems to have lost it's way a bit.

I used to come here when it was Hilltop and witnessed many changes. It went from quite a small local garden Center to a popular afternoon out , with the new tea room, added shops etc . Around 3 -4 years ago it was well cared for , a massive selection of really reasonably priced plants ,but for some reason over the last year , it’s soulless . Empty shelves , plants knocked over , under watered over priced plants that have seen better days . Go sapcote or hawgrips much better quality and atmosphere

This was my first visit to this garden centre even though I've lived in Leicestershire since 1985! I didn't venture into the tea room but it looked popular, I was there to buy plants and I'm glad I did, they've got an amazing range at fantastic prices. All the plants I bought were in great condition and clearly cared for perfectly, I'll most definitely be going back in the very near future

Booked an afternoon tea for a friends birthday as a treat..the food was nice, but the experience was marred slightly by having a surly waitress who made everything seem like hard work instead of being friendly. We were told we could have top ups of our allotted drinks, for instance, but when I asked for a green tea for my friend, it was a huge problem, and we were left having tap water instead which felt rather mean spirited. I wouldn't go back for another 'treat' meal. It's ok I guess if you are just there anyway. The second time I have eaten there and felt the experience was marred by the waiting staff. In fairness the young lady at the till was friendly and gave good customer service as far as it was possible with our short interaction.

A Lovely Garden Centre The first time visiting the garden centre, you'll find it to be a lovely place with reasonable prices. It offers a wide range of products, including garden supplies, plants, flowers, fruits, and gorgeous gifts and home items. They also have a selection of clothing, footwear, and gifts for children . The cafe at the garden centre is beautifully decorated and offers a nice menu. They even have treats for dogs! One highly recommended item is their scones. Card payment only. The garden centre provides plenty of free parking spaces, including disabled parking spaces. It's a great place to visit for all your gardening needs and more!

Nipped in for a quick lunch. Very popular for a Monday, but plenty of room. Staff friendly, good good. We had the chilli cheesy chips, listed as a side but plenty large enough for lunch. Tempting range of cakes, so we had ours to take home as we were full. The plant range looked extensive and in good quality but more expensive than where I normally get mine.

**update** Went back again 2024 and the service was slow, food was poor and the coffee was honestly weak, super expensive for the quality and they had building work on which was so loud during open hours which I get but would have been nice to be warned** We went there on Sunday when the cafe opened, it was quite busy which is understandable and the staff got us a table which was lovely. Once everyone was sat down we where served fast, where we felt let down only slightly was we could hear staff being reprimanded in the kitchen, and could visually see them stressed which made us slightly uncomfortable

Service wasn’t great. Had to go up to the counter to ask if we could order. Went here for a themed afternoon tea and it was diabolical. Nothing was fresh! For vegetarians, there was only jam sandwiches, had to ask for a cheese one. Scones were freezing cold and not fresh. All the dishes were dirty, even after they swopped the dishes, still received coffee in a dirty mug. Wouldn’t recommend coming here at all, not worth the money at all

Having taken our little dog for a long walk around Bagworth Heath woods and Bagworth Park, we were looking for somewhere dog friendly for lunch and found this place. It was our first visit, but certainly won't be our last. A lot of garden centres claim to be dog friendly, but insist you have to sit outside of the cafe to eat. Not great in the winter! Plus they usually trot out the old 'Health and Safety' rubbish.....which IS rubbish. Health and Safety only prohibits dogs in food preparation areas, not food eating areas. I digress. This lovely place has its own Dog Room, which was great. The food was very good, and very reasonably priced, and Wookie got what was, for her, a suitable amount of fuss from other customers! We didn't browse round the rest of the centre but we certainly will next time. And there will be a next time.

Very disappointed in the Grinch afternoon tea 2/12/23 plus the waitress (think she was the manager) completely ignored our 4 young grandchildren she was miserable from the start and rude, very unprofessional. Completely spoilt what should have been a lovely Christmas treat with them, no wonder there was no others having it. Not child friendly! They wanted us to order a grinch afternoon adult tea for 2, for our 2 little under 3 years old?!!! Crazy! ** EDIT 3/12/23** The woman that served us was the manager and after reading this review she called me at home at 9pm later that evening to have a go at me for adding this review and was very rude, so unprofessional never experienced anything like this before!! never going back. We used to love this place.

Visited the cafe today extremely poor service, the table had not been cleaned from the previous customers, had to fetch the menu as we had not been given one, waited over 20 minutes before I found someone to take our order, no apology for the wait or the unclean table, then waited another 15 minutes for our 2 drinks and a very small piece of cake to arrive, which is overpriced for the size. Used to be very well run, but seems to have gone down hill, unfortunately I would not recommend this tea room.

This always used too be a really nice place to go for food and drink but has gone downhill massively over last few months, I have had very poor service the last 3 times I have been but thought would give it another chance. A mistake that was, shown to a table, which still had the last customers plates and cups on, we then sat for 20 minutes while he went about seating other customers and taking there orders. In the end we had to flag down another waitress too clear the table and take our order. The drinks and cake then arrived 15 minutes later and what used to be value for money is certainly not anymore. The cake was very small for £4.45 and the hot chocolate was only half full. The only reason I have scored it 1 was the milkshake,which I had ,which was great. Will not be using the tea rooms anymore and would recommend others not too bother!

We have visited quite a few times and it's been OK, today unfortunately it was terrible. I took my son for a treat as he loved the fish finger sandwich he had previously from here. My food was great, but on my sons white bread crust I noticed a squished dried looking half moon shaped thing. I picked it off to look closer, to me it looked like a dried up grub or very small larvae. It was flat and stuck to the crust so I assumed it had come in on the bread. I showed the waitress and suggested that they check the rest of the bread. She went away and spoke to the chef, she came back and told me it definitely was not a seed and they don't know what it is. Then she went to walk away. I stopped her and asked what are they going to do about it and she replyed with 'what would you like us to do?' I was shocked, at this point I wish I'd taken a photo of the grub, asked for my money back and left but I didn't want to cause a scene. So, I asked her again to check the other bread, if this is a larvae then it's serious. She then went to fetch the manager who asked 'what's the problem', shocked again I told her what I found and how the waitress asked what I wanted them to do. The lady replied with, 'they are just young staff, the bread is brought in and sealed, implying it wasnt her problem or infact I'd made it up. She then said, I'll go to the kitchen and see for myself. We waited and waited, she never returned. We needed to go to collect my daughter so we went to the counter. This is what annoyed me the most. I asked if th manager is coming out, I don't want to just leave if she's expecting to talk to me and resolve the issue. The girl at the counter came back out from the kitchen to tell me, "Sorry, she's too busy to come out, they have a whole list of orders to get through." I was fuming I had already told the manager before she disappeared that I don't want to make a scene but, now I'm left there after finding a highly suspicious grub looking thing on my sons food feeling like I'm an inconvenience and if she ignores me I'll go away. No apologies, no offer of refund, nothing but rudeness and terrible customer service. I will never return! Customer care does matter, read your reviews! Disgusting!

We visited the cafe yesterday after visiting the Christmas Market and what a mistake that was. Firstly we waited 20 minutes for 1 latte and 2 teas! We also ordered food (sandwich and 2 cheesy chips) and waited 45 minutes for these to arrive! After complaining multiple times, the manager was so rude and arrogant and asked if we wanted it in a take away box... how that would have made the food arrive quicker, I really don't know!! We also overheard a customer commenting how the size of cake has dramatically reduced, to which the staff member said we've had to cut down on the portions because we aren't making any money! When we left, the manager made a sarcastic comment saying thank you for your patience and a pat on the back for good measure!! Avoid this cafe, the service is terrible!!

I visited this place yesterday for the Christmas Market and the Market itself was great but the cafe not so great. All we wanted was a hot drink to warm up and this was not possible without queing behind those who were waiting for a table to eat in. The manager had an awful attitude and it was clear that he couldn't cope with the demand for the cafe. They had empty tables reserved for afternoon teas but only had 4-5 tables in use which people had to stand and wait for people to finish eating so a 40 - 60 min wait! They really need to get more organised.

We visited with my parents. I have been a number of times for coffee & their excellent cakes. This was the first time that I'd eaten a meal there. My partner & parents had never been before. The hot drinks were really hot (I know that sounds odd but the list of cafes that we have visited where the coffees are tepid is long). I had the quiche with fries & salad. The quiche was tasty but rather a small portion. My parents had sandwiches & cheesy chips & enjoyed them. After lunch we toured the shop before heading back for another coffee & cake. Delicious!! The only downside of our visit was that there didn't seem to be enough staff to cover the amount of tables. It wasn't a long wait & the lady who served us was lovely. I will be visiting again, with friends, this weekend for coffee & cake.

A strange place with a good cafe but ever so dark and oppressive in the small shopping area.

Lovely looking cafe but shocking service. Were seated for about 5 minutes when another 2 couples arrived and were seated. 4 staff behind the counter chatting and eating, nobody serving. Waitress eventually came over and served the other customers before us. That was the end of my experience there as we got up and left. Very bad customer service in my opinion.

Went here for breakfast recently, first time I had breakfast here but been here on several occasions before for light snacks or lunch and it had been ok , breakfast was well presented when it arrived but bottom of the plate was swimming in grease , it looked like the whole breakfast had been in the deep fat fryer together, sausages were quite long and thin , they tasted disgusting and cheap, also beans were very minimal actually only enough to fill an egg cup It is not the cheapest breakfast and deserves a bit of quality and attention. Definitely won’t be back here

Just had a wonderful Christmas afternoon tea, my niece took us for a treat and we loved it. It was presented beautifully. The cold weather had burst a pipe so no tea or coffee due to no water, but they gave us mulled wine or spiced apple drink in with price. I think the staff done well under the pressure. Would highly recommend.

Firstly, I'll say that the restaurant area was lovely if a little cold (it was a very cold day!). Likewise, staff were all friendly. They couldn't offer tea or coffee due to the pipes having frozen but could offer hot chocolate, so no big deal. The reason I'm giving this two stars when it could easily be four or five is simple: I was made to feel like my custom didn't matter. My daughter had the kids breakfast, my wife had the eggs royale and I had the main breakfast. I don't like beans or eggs, never have and never will! I asked if, as I was wasn't having beans or eggs, whether I could have an extra rasher of bacon. I was told that they could add any additional meat, but they could add on more toast or hash browns. Fair enough. I asked for a hash brown instead, and the waitress said 'do you want two?' Yes please. Two minutes later, the waitress came back and told me that the person in the kitchen (I assume either the chef or the owner) said that I could only have one harsh brown, and would I like to pay for the other one?! I declined paying for one as politely as I could muster. Honestly, it isn't the hash brown itself, it's the principle here. I was made to feel like my custom didn't matter. An extra hash brown would have cost next to nothing - certainly not more than the eggs and baked beans I'd omitted. It's such a simple thing, but coming back to the table to tell me I could only have one felt demeaning quite frankly, especially as the waitress herself had suggested it! The breakfast was nice but the flippant treatment ruined the vibes for me. Customer care matters!

Family of 4 having a little Xmas treat left really disappointed. The sandwiches tasted like they had been prepared hours earlier . The scone was so dry and lacked any taste . Very understaffed one pot of tea between 4 and no offer of refills . Sadly won’t return .

We have been many times and it is always buzzing. Most beautiful homemade cakes I have ever seen. Yes, not cheap but huge portions so would probably share next time. The ciabbatta with brie cranberry and bacon is the best I have ever had. Beautifully presented, generous bacon and cheese. The side salad is so tasty. The coleslaw very nice. Their chips are gorgeous.. my cappuccino was hot and awesome. My mum's fish finger sandwich I had to take photos off unbelievable a meal ..the service was always quick and very professional. It is a unique place. The doggy area is so cool.. You can sometimes see the staff are very busy rushed off their feet. If there was a negative observation the ceiling has leaked water for sometime and needs fixing. Asap.. That one thing alone is spoiling it. But as for service and food 10 out of 10 for us.

After ordering a drink item from the menu, when it arrived it was a tea instead of a latte Upon viewing the receipt I had been charged the price of a latte but underneath they had written do tea instead So very sneaky charged me a higher rate but to his staff written to make the cheaper drink When I pulled them up on the mistake they had a poor excuse and only offered to refund the difference Furthermore I waited over ten minutes for the manager to come and see me (it was actually him that had severed us) He had also done this on a previous occasion charging us a pound to add a small portion of crisps to the side of a meal Yet when we came the following time we were not charged this Very annoyed at the customer service and believe they tried to pull the wool over our eyes

I ordered quiche with salad and chips. Was told the quiche of the day was cheese and onion. When it came it was about 3” across and the filling was about 1/4” deep and completely tasteless. Such a shame as everything else was nice.

We arrived in the doorway and the couple in front were checking out the meny and subsequently took their order and showed them to a table. We were shown to a sticky wobbly table in a nearly empty restaurant and told she would return to take our order. No eye contact was made whilst she continued back and forward to the kitchen and tables. In the meantime the previous couple had been served their meal. Just at the point we thought we would go elsewhere (approx 30 minutes) another waitress took our order by which time the other customers were finishing their meal. The worst yet was to come, a terrible vegetarian breakfast. of cold eggs and undercooked hash browns and the worst tasting vegetarian sausage ever, inedible. The other meal of fish and chips was of a poor standard of undercooked chips underwhelming fish and cold peas. When paying first of all i was given other persons bill and then asked to complete a review questionnaire. We explained the meal was terrible and she said hence why we want the form filled in. Apart from feeling very cold and having to keep our coats on we never felt any great customer service. They certainly need a chef who knows how to cook food. it was poor on every level and it will never be repeated.
