Grasmere Garden Centre in Walsall

Just spent a brilliant time at the Christmas grotto Natures Burrow at Grassmere Garden Centre. Can’t recommend highly enough. The elves were amazing and so patient with the little ones.

Pretty good garden centre , but the cafe has nosedived. I realise people are looking for ways to save money but i expect my coffee to be more than an inch deep and hot. It used to be ok , but just recently its gone downhill bigstyle.

Really like this place!!… very quaint and you get a really wholesome coffee shop vibe… there is plenty of seating and a full menu… they also serve main menu food at breakfast time which is ideal for us… they have nice vegan options and the service was fast and friendly… the coffee was freshly ground and the food was all made fresh in front of us… would highly recommend this place!… Raphael

Fabulous, good quality, homemade food. Great value for money. Superb selection of vegetarian food. Lovely friendly service. Great relaxing atmosphere.

The ladies in the cafe are so cheerful and helpful. The coffee was lovely and the breakfast baps super tasty. We did also buy some really healthy plants while here. Not our 1st visit here, and definitely not our last❤️

Came to buy plants and have a coffee. Didn't get our coffee as cafe and outside was a strong smell of smoke from a fire. Didn't talk to manager as last time he was rude.

Excellent cafe. Food was good, and hot. There was a slight wait due to it being well attended. Prices are reasonable as well. I recommend it.

Cosy little coffee shop to sit for a catch up or hide away with the laptop to get some work done. Good selection of cakes and coffees. Mom is a particular fan of the Belgian waffle. I come here often and the staff are always friendly and accommodating.

Tried to get a table for a coffee after a super long mountain hike. Waited to be seated a good 10 minutes, nobody came or apologised and said won't be too long. Asked to sit sit outside, was told no, without a hint of a smile . Bad customer service, wasn't even that busy.

This place is lovely, fantastic staff especially the cafe, fantastic food and now they have independent cabins at the rear selling loads, even an Avon lady and a Florist. Definitely worth a visit.

Visited garden centre on a Saturday late morning early afternoon. Busy but the two girls working non stop are polite and told customers there was a small delay for food . We ordered tea for two and a slice of cake only took 10 mins to arrive . Shame the idiot on the table beside us couldn’t understand the girls was rushed off there feet .Sarcastic comments aren’t needed And to be honest he had his bacon sausage egg roll before our tea arrived . Well done girls ignore the comments of small minded people. Highly recommended

Lovely garden centre and they have lots of plants and gifts. Used to love the cafe we went every Sunday. Not anymore they are so slow at cooking the food it took 1hr and a half for the food to arrive. Came into today for my mom's birthday we all had shmoos served by the friendly young girl. Never again mine had what I thought was gone off cream on top. Asked for another without cream and the older lady gave me one unstirred so got a mouth full of power and a telling off saying its not a McDonald's milkshake. I now I used to have one every Sunday so I know what they taste like. Took it away stirred it again definitely the milk was off. Told her the milk was off and she just walked off. So we left and said nothing else then she come out the back with a bottle of milk saying look at it its still in date. I said we'll smell it and was told I was rude when we walked out and then was shout rude at really loud all infront of the other customers. My mom had never had one before and said it tasted a bit funny bit didn't really know what it should of tasted like. It's made her really sick. Told the manager of the shop who was lovely and gave us a refund. I'm sorry but we won't be coming here again in a hurry especially to the cafe until they sort out the staff. I hope she read this thank you for ruining my mom's birthday.

Sweet little place for an afternoon tea or bowl of soup. Lovely gifts and good range of planting pet stuff etc

Visited Grasmere for the first time in around 40 years and would say many things haven’t changed much ... which is actually lovely! A nice change from the carbon copy big chain centres and a far better range of plants in terms of quality and price. All the staff we encountered were very pleasant including in the cafe. We had a light bite which was served quickly, was good value and tasted great. Will be back.

Visited the Aquatics today, the young man Ian, extremly knowledgeable could not fault the service. Well done and very Covid secure. Well worth a visit.

Called in a few weeks ago and I admit I did mean to review this garden centre then with possibly a 4 star review as although it is quite a small centre for the area we found a good selection of goods at very reasonable prices and the staff were helpful and although we brought a few items we promised ourselves a further visit to buy more Christmas decorations. However on our visit today we found on entering the shop three other customers, a couple and a single male all, would imagine, in their mid twenties and non of them wearing any form of mask I also noticed that although the two members of staff present had masks they were wearing them under their chin making them totally useless. Sorry at this time when we hope we are coming to the end of this pandemic this sort of behaviour is appalling and makes this a centre l will not be visiting again. There are far to many other garden centres locally to risk this sort of behaviour. Very poor show.

My husband and I called in today while travelling for a bite to eat having made the effort to support a smaller business, as business owners ourselves, rather than a large food chain. Upon arrival at your store we followed direction instruction signs wearing our masks using sanitiser and approached the cafe area to look at the menu as I have several food allergies to check the food options before taking up a table which we understand would then have to be sanitised. We were immediately approached by an older lady serving who proceeded to scold us in an aggressive and loud tone in front of other patrons about lifting a menu (we had apparently missed one on a wall outside) she then proceeded even after my apology and explanation about my allergy and this oversight in my part as I am myself dyslexic, to continue to repeatedly scold us in front of other customers which we found extremely unprofessional and embarrassing. When we turned to leave given this embarrassment we again heard this staff member loudly voice 'Really?! Really?!' as we walked away. We ended up at a services station down the road extremely upset by this incident and hope this review will serve as a professional development opportunity for this staff member. We appreciate the stresses of covid 19 and had acknowledged our own oversight so appreciate the same.

Packed with more plants each time I go since lockdown began to lift.Café is now re-open though with a reduced menu. Drinks, baps & cakes. Payment with card only & no more than 6 people per party.The same variety of drinks looks available from what I remember them to be.Of the eating food list, there is Paninis at £4 each. Breakfast baps at £2.50 each. Jacket potatoes £4.25. Basket of chips £2. Lasagne £6.75. Builder Brunch £.475 & a Chicken & mushroom pie with chips & peas at £6.50.Some nice veggie plants available.Great range of birthday cards to get inside & gardening / craft gifts too. Also small memorial plaques / items. My favourite garden centre in the area. Ample car park in front & over flow car park too.

Visited today with cycling club. Have a good selection of nice cakes. Had carrot cakes and a cappuccino with caramel syrup. Cake and coffee were very nice and reasonably priced.

Despite living in Walsall, I’d never seen this garden centre before. We visited on a very rainy day, so probably didn’t get the most of our experience, but will return in the better weather.The garden centre had a good selection of plants and ornaments. There was an aquatics section but it was all locked up due to understaffing.The cafe was busy despite the bad weather. Prices were VERY reasonable! The lady in the cafe was lovely and very friendly. I’d have liked a dairy free milk option but it was ok, we had the jasmine tea which was tasty. Some vegan options would have been great, and would encourage us to spend more money.The sofas were super cosy to sit on!

Go here once a week and always have a lovely experience. The food is lovely especially the soup and beef dinner

ive been here and the meals are good plus area for children to play i recommend the place to any one

Lovely breakfast baps, great selection of plants & birthday cards I brought yet again. Lots of nice ornaments for garden. Adequate size car park2 ladies toilets, men’s & disabled toilets too.Lots of fishes too in the various tanks.A great place for young & old to visit.Craft Fair was a few weeks ago, should be a next one before Xmas.

There was a lovely, relaxing atmosphere to eat our gateau and drink our cappuccino in , after we had had a lovely browse around the plants and bought a few. The lady was very pleasant and helpful and recommended the chocolate sparkle cake - which was delicious, not too sweet, and not bad value for money. We will definitely go there again.

Popped in specifically for breakfast & came out with gardening stuff yet again.Had a lovely breakfast bap full with sausage, bacon, egg & hash brown.Various magazines to peruse in café. 3 rectangular tables & 8 round tables in café area.Some books & cds available to purchase in aid of cancer research.The plants & garden ornaments are still beautiful here.A great place to come for food & plants & garden extras.Plenty of parking space.

The garden centre is very pleasant to walk around but the cafe we found the food quite average. My daughter had a cheese sandwich and the cheese looked like to had been sliced so thick she didn’t want to eat it and I don’t blame her. My tuna sandwich the bread was a little dry. Overall food ok but wouldn’t rush to go back for food but happy to have a mooch in the shop as some nice things to buy

I use this garden centre, because nothing is too much trouble for the staff here. The plants and bushes/trees are always fresh and good quality. They also sell items for flower arranging and wreath making.

Came here by chance to escape the rain as we were driving by.Did the normal thing which was ending up in the café.Surprisingly it was quiet on our early noon visit.Decided to try the lovely, fish & chips, the dinner was nice, just the silly sachets of tartar sauce were awkward to open.The cheese & broccoli bake with chips & salad were equally tasty.The hot chocolate drinks washed the meal down a treat.The best plans are the unmade plans when it comes to visiting here.

Had a nice little trip here and brought a few shrubs for the garden. Nice little tea room here with a good selection.

We visit often here for lunch. We have tried quite a few different meals on the menu - all very nice and at a decent price. The food is always hot and fresh. The staff are really nice too. Pop in for a cuppa and some food. You’ll become a regular.

We went very late in the afternoon and asked if we were too late for coffee, and we were told `not at all, please come in`. We sat in comfortable surroundings and had a lovely piece of gateau each and cappuccinos. Even though it was late in the day, there was still a good choice.

Popped in for a quick browse so many lovely things to browse upon. Had a lovely tea scone jam and creme in the Potting shed Cafe thanks to Andrea and the Girls.Would highly recommend a visit

A very pleasant visit today. Plants were well laid out and clearly labelled and prices were easy to see. There was a good choice and some unusual plants there too and they were much more reasonable than the nearby Wyevale garden centre. Staff were pleasant and welcoming.

Popped into this fabulous garden centre for birthday items & again got distracted by the canteen. Had a lovely sweet & sour chicken with rice & my friend a steak & ale pie with chips. Both dinners were delicious.

My friend and I are regular shoppers at Grasmere Garden Centre, we shop there because the its excellent value for money, not over priced like most garden centres. There is a great selection of plants, shrubs , bushes, herbs , artificial arrangements and a well stocked gift shop. Their restaurant is excellent and such good value for money. , garden ornaments. Definitely the best garden centre around the A5 and Brownhills

Such a lovely little place to visit. Dog friendly, & the cafe is really well priced and good quality Staff go above & beyond to help. Can’t believe I’ve lived locally for years and only just found it ! I’ll be back for sure.

Grasmere is a lovely little garden centre between Brown hills and the A5. Always has a good range of both indoor and outdoor plants ,a fair size aquatic centre and a super gift shop. There's a lovely coffee shop which is a favourite if ours for a cuppa and some home made cake. Also a good range of tools. Parking is free and it gets very busy at weekends and lunchtimes.

Lovely to have a relaxing walk round the garden centre and great if you are looking for an unusual gift to buy. Regularly visit the café here for a coffee and cake, ladies are friendly, great service and decent prices ! Thoroughly recommend

Usually come here for plants and more recently for rockery stones etc and they are always competitively priced. The other day decided to pop in for a coffee with a friend. There is a decent menu all at very reasonable prices as well as specials on the board. We only had a coffee but it was large and came with a complimentary biscuit. The seating includes some comfy sofas to relax on as well as the more formal tables to eat at. Think I might return to the cafe and try something for lunch.

Came in for gardening items, but the smell of food as we walked by the café was alluring.

We go here quite a lot , let me say the food is very good , the prices ! How do they do it , the two ladies behind the counter are very friendly and polite , give it a try , you won't regret it !

Came for yet meal to this lovely place, 4 dinners, 4 cakes, 4 drinks coming in at £33, well worth every penny. Excellent food, great service, affordable prices. Excellent gift shop inside & a lovely array of plants & fishes & ornaments.

Came here to look pond plants & 4 of us stayed for dinner in cafe.

I stumbled across this little gem by accident. It has emerged writhing that the gardener needs from plants to shrubs garden furniture and decoration ornaments. They have a great selection of wood carvings. And they have a nice little cafe inside with a gift shop attached. Good job i was on the bus or else i'd have ever come home with lots

Lovely trip here after being in Keswick for the day. We visited to buy some bedding plants and compost. We managed to buy everything we required and received some good advice from the colleague on the till. Good experience. Thsnk you.

This a wonderful small café inside a lovely Garden Centre.
