Johnsons Garden Centre in Boston

Ok Johnsons Garden Centre are now Owned by Dobbie's Garden Centre and we had a look round the restaurant at the minute is only doing snacks (ect) they have a wide range of garden tools (ect) and plants shrubs flowers you have to go to the restaurant to sanitise your hands place your order and then go sit out side as they are not allowed to serve anyone inside they have a big area to sit down in for your snacks the car parks are still the same disabled (ect)

Thinking ahead to Mothers' Day, and how to make it special in Lockdown, I chanced upon the 'takeaway afternoon tea' box and service at Garth's. We decided to try this out beforehand, so ordered just one box to sample before ordering for March 14th. It was fresh, absolutely delicious and very good value. I have, consequently, ordered a couple with mini prosecco bottles for Mothers' Day; ensuring I booked these before writing this great review! The three staff I had contact with - Sarah, Amy and Lesley - were all delightful, and a great big thank you to them for providing this service and preparing such great food. We are new to the area - I need to change my 'ChocoloverBedford name - and I look forward to enjoying their food and service on Mothers' Day and beyond.

Is Open BUT The restaurant is Closed but on a wet day there is plenty to see and they have loads of Christmas things to look at and by if you so wish right along the main road with good disabled parking and toiletsP.S. WE ARE HEAR FOR A GOOD L;OOK ROUND

I know it's nearly Trick or Treat time and we were certainly 'had' in the restaurant. After spending quite a bit of money in the garden centre we decided to have a drink and some food before going home. I ordered a snack and a pot of tea with some extra hot water. What I didn't realise until I arrived home was that whilst we were charged £1.40 for a pot of tea, we were also charged £1.40 for the hot water. Basically we were charged for a pot of tea, less the tea. It's the first time I've ever been charged for hot water in any cafe or restaurant and I certainly won't give this restaurant the chance to do it again.

I love Johnson’s garden centre as it is dog friendly. Each time I go to Boston I always call. The restaurant has a good selection of food at reasonable prices and they have a daily specials board too. We had a delicious roast beef dinner with all the trimmings cooked to perfection. A wonderful garden centre selling everything you might need. A pet shop, mobility shop, gift shop and clothing. I leave the dogs with my partner so I can visit Johnson’s well stocked food store selling a good variety of wines beers and spirits as well as locally produced fruit, vegetables, meats and cheeses. A visit to Johnson’s is always looked forward too.

We called in as we were passing through the area.Well set up for Covid in the cafe. food was ok. The garden centre part was not very good as it looked a bit end of season like.The food hall was just a small supermarket.

Well I am hear today with one of my support workers and yes it is Begin to look like Christmas they have started to put the Christmas things up and they look very nice with the different colours ect And They are still on the Mark with the CONVID-19 Thing and this we find gives you a safe place to look around and eat

a very very CONVID 19 friendly clean restaurant and well set out first you have to que up if lot of people there once in your slot you then place your order you are given a small menu then order before you are shown to your table it is worth the wait and each table as a smaller table next to the big tables this is used for the staff to put your order on so it is safe for both the staff and customers you then take your meal and put it on your table first before you go into the centre you have to sanitize your hands P.S. you must fill in a form name (ect) FIRST

Visited on Thursday 27th August. Very well signage to restaurant but once its your slot to proceed to ordering, you are given a very small printed menu, then have to order before proceeding to you allotted table. Thats fine but if you have vision problems, the menu is very small type style. Please perhaps display a larger version prior joing the que. As to the social distansisting and staff 5*. Menu on offer much less than pre Covid, but still tasty.

We stayed at Premier inn just a few hundred yards away and found that it was a far better place to have Breakfast ( better quality and price)

We shop here ... one of the best deli’s around.. cheese meat coleslaws hot sausage rolls etc etc ... good choice of everything in the shop ... then there’s the little bistro cafe selling cake and coffee then the restaurant where the food is delicious.. we always end up in here for lunch..a good choice of hot and cold food .. and if that’s not enough then you can browse around the garden centre the pet shop a clothes retailer and disability shop too .. so all in all Johnson’s has something for everyone

a very big well set out Garden Centre with blue card parking and disabled toilets a very good lot of thingd for your garden plants seeds (ect)a very nice friendly polite staff and it makes a nice break if you have a few hours to kill the restaurant is nice and big and well set out for moving about leg room (ect) the food is fresh and comes to you nice and hot if you like you can reserve your table/tables we love it hear and yes we will be back very soon

Went for lunch with family. Service at till was a joy . Young lady who took my order was very polite and friendly who made you very welcome. Credit to the company. Food was served quickly and was excellent. Superb value. Would definitely recommend.

ok nice to be back and this is a very nice big garden centre loads to look at both inside and out loads of differant things to choose from garden things (ect) very good car parking and very good for blue card parking and also it is good if you have a electric car as they have charging points as well see photo now time for dinner and then look round worth the short wait for the two meals my support worker and i and we will be back soon

Today I visited with 10 members of family. My husband phoned this morning to ask if we could reserve a table as there was going to 11 of us in total. The service was great, food lovely and we all had a lovely time. Thank you to all the staff.

It's such a shame to be writing a bad review as I always used to think of Johnson's as one of my favorite restaurants. I don't know what's happened, but the quality of food has drastically gone down hill. It used to be excellent, but the past few times I've eaten there have been a huge disappointment, the food being cold, under-cooked, or just plain bad. The place is very hit and miss now (more often miss than hit). Come on, Johnson's, step up your game again.

yes we on the road abd in Boston getting near to dinner time it raining a bit so plenty to look round at the very nice big garden centre it is so good hear very well set out with both garden things,tropical fish,pets, and pet foods and it as a very good butchers shop with loads of meat to choose from a very large carpark and blue card paking as well it as a wide range of mobiolty schooters for sale ALSO Its Christmas At Johnsons Garden Centre we had our dinner hear as well today

Had lunch. First time visit. Lovely place,food was excellent. Prawn sandwich came with salad and small bucket of the most wonderful chips. Would definitely come again when next visiting the area. Lovely friendly staff too. Very good value for money.

ok back at this great place plenty to look at both inside and out and want a meal or snack well you in the very right place hear for both blue card and ordanrey parking dissabled loos very clean all round and plenty room in the restaurant (ect) and if you like outside as well the food is fresh and comes to you nice and hot the meals there are so very good tables have plenty leg room and sissabled all the way through

Just popped in for some bone meal for a new hedge and ended up doing a small shop for Sunday lunch, great butchers, great green grocery! Very good.Then went into the garden centre for what I needed. All things to hand. Generally a brilliant place. The restaurant looked great too.

Johnsons has a restaurant as well as a coffee shop, which is where took our our break. The food was very good and at a good price. It also has an exceptional food shop,which sells a wide range of foods and drinks. We will visit again when in the area.

Saw Johnsons advertised in local Lincolnshire magazine, parking was easy and close to Garden Centre and Food Store. Had coffee on arrival and then spent some time looking around the Pet and Aquarium Centre, found some interesting items for our aquarium and garden pond. The Garden Centre was very comprehensive and bought some plants, we then had lunch in the restaurant, extremely good menus and a good system of reserving your own table whilst ordering the food. Food was well prepared and served in their airy and light restaurant. Before we made our way home we visited the Food Store and purchased some foods that we could put in our car chiller as we had some 80 miles to go. Would highly recommend Johnsons to all that need usual Garden Centre products but this place covers so much more to offer.

We have had the most excellent dinner,All four of us really really enjoyed it, the food was delicious and tasted fabulous, well worth going, the staff were very pleasant, you get a lot on your plate, well worth the money, we all said we will definitely go back,

ok right from going into the car park it very dissabled place they have i think thought of every thing dissabled people like my self or others can need nice big entrance auto doors well spaced shop area restaurant very dissabled friendly in set out tables chairs ect can not praise it enough great staff food it is well worth the wait for the meals as it all done nice fresh and hot

Went for a family lunch .. very nice..busy as usual. Good selection of main meals, snacks and desserts

We were on a day out to Skegness and stopped of here for a break. The coffee was good and there was a 'scone of the week' a honeycomb one - good! We didn't visit the extensive garden centre this time, or the farm shop.

a very good place to look around and to have a snack or meal it is a place that is very very disable friendly in all ways like getting in and out of entrance and in the restaurant the tables and chairs are well set out and the food is cook fresh and well worth the wait you can get from just a snack to a meal it as disabled parking on the side of a main road

Tried the new coffee shop in between the grocery store and the garden centre. Very nice. This part also allows dogs in that aren't service dogs as well.

I recently visited the garden centre and purchased a range of produce from the farm shop, all of which was gorgeous. It provides a fantastic range of local products with a great selection of cheese and fresh meat etc. I‘ve visited the café at the garden centre a few times and have found it a bit average but thoroughly enjoy the farm shop.

had lunch today serive was exceptionally quick! as they have a limited menue of the day it is very easy for quick efficent service of good quality freshly prepared food! we had the steak and kidney pie with mash and vedgetables at £5.95 very good value, food was served very hot with accompaning gravy boat, all freshly prepared today. as we were finishing our meal the pie was removed from list as this was at 1245hrs it goes to show they do limit what they are producing!

Popped in for a drink and slice of cake. Restaurant is nice with good menu selection and nicely laid out with plenty of seating. Staff are friendly.

Nipped into Johnson’s today for a drink and a bit of cake on our way back through Boston. My boyfriend had a bit of chocolate fudge cake and I had coffee and walnut. He had a Pepsi and I had a “posh pop” strawberry and rhubarb. Cake was lovely and moist and a fair sized slice for the price. Garden centre was nice for a little walk around - fairly priced, and the food hall had a good variety of produce.

We used to visit to buy anything gardening related but, as this usually is around lunchtime, we just had to try out the restaurant - it didn't disappoint. Since then, we've tried quite a few dishes and visited their food hall and they really do earn top points for efficiency, quality and good value.

ok wanted change so i said ok Johnsons look round then dinner and so we did both of my two support workers just drive i say were we go and were we have dinner ect though they have what ever they want i have to pay for both meals though i get a bit of help with the payment for the meals i found out today that they do smaller meals so thought better to let you all know today i had Liver, Oinoins, Bacon, Peas, Mashed Tates, Carrots,Runnerbeans,Gravy,and a mug of coffee

I asked for a bacon and egg sandwich which took 22 minuets to arrive to find the egg was missing, I took the sandwich back and explained what had happened, then she brought the sandwich back saying the egg would follow, 5 mins later still no sigh of the egg, bacon sandwich was luke warm so I went up to the counter and told the young girl I wanted a fresh sandwich as this one was cold and still no egg, the sandwich was given back to me and yes it had an egg but they had microwaved the same bacon. Also I asked for an egg sandwich, we dont do that, so what does a vegetarian have to eat at breakfast nothing, my other order was sausage and egg, we cant do sausage and egg was the reply. I have always enjoyed the food at Johnsons but just lately you cant order what you want

Lovely as always. Friendly and helpful staff in both the cafe and the shop. Lots of lovely gifts and cards available as well as plants

ok nice warm day wanted change so what better place than Johnsons Garden Centre plenty to look at and great meals and when you get them they are very hot so be very careful please nice we do sit near the windows so you can look out at the very nice things out side good parking and blue badge parking nice very clean disabled loo eating area very clean though all the place is very clean

This is a large centre with good parking and accessible by bus. The indoor displays are quite extensive with a wide selection of gardening requisites (tools etc), a pets department, and the collectibles and souvenirs that one may expect in such a place. Outside the plants and all the usual items, such as fountains, barrows, ornaments etc, are widely spread and reasonably priced. There is a popular restaurant and a separate coffee shop which permits dogs, and provides water bowls for them. The food and drinks here are, again, reasonably priced and with good service. There is also a supermarket/farm shop selling specialised foods along with the regular supermarket items. The staff throughout were pleasant and attentive.

Went this week for coffee and a triful.i thought the portion size was too small but other than that a good time was had by all three of the members of my party.

ok a change today went to Johnsons Garden Centre we love looking round hear great place to look around and well set out as usual wen we hear we have dinner as well the restaurant like the centre it self is very clean the food is hot and very good with proper hand cut chips plenty room to move around in very good staff good size car park with blue badge parking as well disabled toilets it also has tropical fish and tanks ect to sell as well as mobility scooters for sale it as garden ornaments out side also for sale

Myself and two friends arrived at 3pm for the advertised afternoon tea only to be told it had to be pre ordered. But on reflection we were pleased we didn’t bother... the main part of the restaurant was already closed for cleaning and only the very dark indoor area was open. Not an afternoon tea atmosphere at all. We went along the next week just for a cuppa, this was at 2pm and again, the area where you’d want to eat afternoon tea was ‘closed for cleaning’. Surely afternoon tea, which was not cheap, should be served from about 2.30-5.00? Going to leave it...

Call in Sunday found that they had open a new coffee shop ,first impressions are good hope they can keep it up coffee was to my liking and food looked good,in my mind this was a good move.

Not only a garden centre but a retaurant, general shop and delicatessen, also uperhaps unusual in having a wheelchair department.

I visited this restaurant with 3 others for the first time today. It was very busy and it took a good 15-20 minutes queueing to place the food order. The food itself came out within 10 minutes,much quicker than expected. The meals themselves were very good and are all made fresh on the day. I can't wait to return to try some of the other items on the menu. Not only was the food good but it is quite inexpensive, even the desserts are reasonably priced.

Well equipped garden centre. Well stocked for the garden/ pets/ mobility/gifts etc. Nice quaint and friendly restaurant, from cup tea or coffee too full meal. Nice relaxing area to unwind /shop and fill the tummy tank. Fair size car park, with help full staff.

Visited here many times with various members of our family & always been happy with the food & service but unfortunately this was not the case on Wednesday. We ordered 2 adult meals & the children aged 5 & 2 chose kiddies lunch boxes & we ordered their sandwiches which are made to order & not inside the box. After a wait of 15mins which was acceptable for our hot adult meals I went to inquire if I could have the children’s sandwiches as not only had they waited long enough but I really wanted them to eat their sandwiches before their chocolate bar in the box. The young girl at the till appeared to be totally disinterested in my request but went to ask in the kitchen, saying something to another member of staff on her way, who looked over at me I would guess to see if I had heard. She appeared a few seconds later to say my order would be coming out straight after the next one so I might as wait & have everything together. What abysmal customer service, how long does it take to make 2 children’s sandwiches anyway & surely it would have been an idea to ask if we wanted them served before our meals when we ordered (also the same girl).

Called here today for lunch, on way to Spilsby to visit Gunby Hall Extremely good value garden centre, which sells most things from groceries, to a wheelbarrow.!

I have been here several times and I am always impressed by the food hall, especially the Butchers section.

well we back for a look around and for our dinner if you don't find on the blackboard then you can have a look at the menus on the table it is if you don't like something on menu (ect) able to change it for something else they also do a smaller meal if needed they have loads of garden things out side in the yard as well as inside they also sell bear (ect) the food is nice and hot and it is very clean

Had lunch with my family. Very nice food and staff. Excellent vegan shepherds pie! Lovely setting. Maybe more fans in the conservatory dining room, was very hot.

Lovely garden centre , with good staff. It has a good selection of items. I would recommend the restaurant, the food is great and the staff excellent

Very disappointed - visited twice and both times the hot food was only warm when served ! Cake offerings are not always a good selection as no basic chocolate or Victoria cakes on offer - scones and coffee and walnut - Rocky roads - not everyone likes ‘different ‘

We buy plants Nd garden gear here plus they have an interesting mini superstore for food and drink on the site. Go here for those hard to find food and drink items...oh and they have a coffe shop and restaurant too.

Always love visiting here. Staff are always helpful and friendly. Enjoy looking round all there different sections and I always end up purchasing from the deli!

Really disappointed. Wanted to buy something from outside, my wife, my daughter and myself all walked round and round looking for someone to help. Not one person about to help. Not one either inside or out. Or sure what was going on but we didn’t buy it in the end and went home disappointed. Restaurant is good, food is 4/5 and a good variety in the aquatics shop.

The main reason for the visit was to have a breakfast break en route which was excellent and served in a glass fronted room with garden views. The centre it self was well stocked and very clean.

Good breakfast restaurant here, the lunches have been ok on other visits too.

This is two times this week Saturday and Monday at Johnsons Garden Centre for look round and for a meal it on both times was found to be as usual very clean and well set out in the grounds and inside the Garden Centre they have a very good wide choice of food and some on the board not found on the menu the food is always hot and well set out on the plate the staff are great and very helpful nothing is any trouble we will be back shortly

Garden centres tend to look more like supermarkets and hardware stores these days but Johnsons still knows it’s garden stuff, the restaurant is great, full of homemade goodies, very friendly staff...and the attached supermarket come farmers market holds some really choice treats.

Love a trip to Johnsons to add to my ever growing plant collection! Cafe is quaint and staff always are willing to help. Kids enjoy it too!

We're local and call in from time to time for a pootle round and sometimes a coffee....and a cake. There is often 'scone of the week' which is very tempting. HOWEVER, on this occasion we had rocky road which was yum.

Called in for lunch, due to hearing good reviews..there was a very long wait to be served at the counter, as were waiting the staff came and removed almost everything from the specials board, only leaving a cheese bake, and we were told to refer...

We called in on the way past for a coffee break. We'd been many times before, the garden centre was always good and the cafe overflowing with home made cakes and down to earth meals,usually with local veg.

Great garden centre and even better farm shop ,great selection of plants and trees and bushes helpful staff

we went to Johnsons Garden Centre

Great garden centre, pet shop accessories, tropical fish and goldfish. Gifts, deli, fresh butchery, local veg and a lot more. Cafe for coffee and cakes or more if you wish in the restaurant, they do a lovely breakfast and all reasonably priced and freshly cooked although you may have to wait if they are busy. Hand car wash next door, reasonable parking but it does get busy as this place is popular. Well worth the visit and I constantly go back.

Arrived at about 12.30pm and quite easily found a table in the conservatory, the menu had a good choice and there was also a specials board which we had read before sitting down. Lunch came quickly and was plentiful, I had scampi which had peas and salad for £6.95, the chips was lovely and crispy on the outside and fluffy in the inside, just how I like them. Didn't have room for pudding, so had a walk around the shop/garden centre, good range of plants, flowers and gifts on offer, we have popped in many a times, only ever had coffee and cake, but we did enjoy lunch and would definitely go back

I cannot comment on the quality of food or drink as we didn't visit or partake of this - so onto the plants and household items. All were good quality and some interesting house plants that I haven't seen in ages from air plants to ferns and even 'spider plants'. All looked in good condition.Some of the staff avoided any eye contact though and did appear a little lack lustre in action, the ladies on the till must of been having a down day as they did come over as 'flat' in action. The food hall was interestingly stocked with a good collection of diabetic sweets - great for me; good stock of food items too; and the young man who served us was friendly and interactive. Worth a visit if passing by.

Went into the main restaurant for lunch... Expected to wait for ages as it was really busy... We didn't wait for long... 15 minutes tops ... Food was lovely, fresh and hot.. And lots of it... Won't be needing much for tea

If you won't breakfast, Lunch or Afternoon tea this is the place to go to Food is great , service is great . made to feel welcome . Car park is really good loads of room , if you won't your hair cut visit Studio 10 ' dog needs a groom visit Tufts & Tangles , need some shopping visit fine foods, need some plants or garden furniture , does your pet need some food go to the pet section or do you want to get a pet , need some help with getting around go to the mobility section , so much to look at visit JOHNSONS GARDEN CENTRE you will be surprised at what you see have a great day .

Called to johnsons restaurant on saturday with family.and had a really enjoyable lunch .orders 2 chicken burgers which was accompanied with proper home cooked chips and a lovely fresh side salad and BBQ dip .mum ordered a ham sandwich which came on really nice granary bread a pot of yummy coleslaw and chips also ordered a cheese and onion panini All our meals were lovely and fresh and the service was excellent . Great pot of tea too.thanks

Just had lunch in the restaurant. Roast pork which has been under a hot lamp until the slices have dried up and the edges were curled up. Garden peas that could be used in a BB gun and three very small salad potatoes! Bland, tasteless and very disappointed ting since the food here used to be top class with a great choice of dishes such as pies and dumplings.Sorry to say that this place appears to have been down graded to to a fast food quick profit food outlet. A great shame and a big big management mistake.

Quick service by helpful friendly staff. Gets busy after 12 noon but that's a good thing as it proves this is a good place for a snack or meal. Good prices and clean tables.

Come here regularly for breakfast as a treat and can't fault it. The small cooked breakfast is ample enough, complete with a cup of tea for just over £6. Food quick to arrive and great quality...even the yolk on the egg was runny!! Staff always friendly and helpful.

stopped on way home for lunch in restaurant, the freshly cooked lasagna fresh salad and gold crisp chips were excellent, at £5.45 per portion very good value for moneyThe restaurant is airy well laid out, staff very competent, food served pipping hotWill definitely call again

Good quality food, very reasonable, friendly staff and clean.Can't fault it.food is always served piping hot, very quickly with a friendly service.

This garden centre is very popular for both food and garden products. Whether you are eating or buying other products, the butchery is excellent, you will find quality goods and obliging staff. My wife and I visit most weeks and meet lots of regular customers. A good endorsement!

Visited for lunch. It's a busy place. Twenty minutes from entering the restaurant to receiving food. Some may say that's not long, but only 3 in the queue in front of us, and it's not a extensive menu. Very limited sandwich and panini choice, but quite a few hot meal choices. Strangely the panini doesn't come with chips, but the sandwich does. There is no outside seating as such, if you come out of the restaurant to a table you are still sat in a poly tunnel type area, which we found was too warm on the day we visited, so sat inside. Also not very clear how it operates, it a pick your table, put a reserved sign on it and then order, remembering your table number. It's ok. But could do better.

Me and my mum came here for lunch was very impressed with the ordering system find a table reserve it and then go back and order food is cooked fresh and the staff are very organised well worth a visit.

Been for a lovely meal again in the Johnson's restaurant it's always hot tasty and quick I had the chicken and leak pie will be going again soon

We visited on Wednesday morning after deciding we would like to go somewhere for breakfast. As we have had lunch at Johnsons, we decided to try breakfast and we are really pleased we did. I had the smaller full English which was ample enough for one person, and this came with toast too. My partner had the sausage sandwich, again ample, served on lovely fresh bread. All ingredients were locally sourced which made the quality lovely, none of this plastic meat!! Two breakfasts and a tea and coffee for just over £11. We sat in the conservatory overlooking the garden centre, then proceeded after breakfast to have a nice walk. Staff were very polite and the service quick. Would definitely return.

We visit the restaurant once every three months or so for lunch.....food is excellent but so often has to be returned to the kitchen as it simply is NOT HOT! Warm food is not good enough.

We just had tea and scones on this visit, the scones are very special great quality. Tea is good quality in a pot so you get two cups. There are three dining areas outside , inside and conservatory. So nice what ever the weather. There are sofas around a real log burner very cosy in winter. They do very good home cooked fresh meals daily, very nice fresh locL produce. They have a great variety of drinks hot and cold, nice quality home baked cakes. A selection of specials, hot meals daily. Comfortable. Good disabled access, good clean toilets. Pleasant environment quite.

Visited here today after passing by previously. Nice shop and garden centre but.........we saw the sign for the restaurant offering cake (tiramisu) and tea or coffee for £2 and decided to give it a go. This was served from 3pm subject to availability. It was 3.10 pm after waiting to be served by a pleasant lady on her own on her first day for quite a while we were informed no tiramisu left and offered No alternatives. I asked if we could have carrot cake but the frosty woman interfered (seemingly the manager ) and told me harshly no only Malteser and banana cake is available. There were about four cakes there and she would not serve us them. Her attitude was far from friendly with no respect for customer service and not a smile cracked her face. She was more interested in closing for the day!! We just had coffee and couldn't wait to leave. This cost almost the same as the deal but with no cake. I don't live in the area so the chances of returning are nil even if I did I wouldn't go there again for anything in the shop or garden centre she annoyed me so much. People on other tables were debating their experiences with her as well. She made everyone feel like a nuisance. I hope the new lady survives (she kept apologizing) with her it was not nice. Better staffed places would have another alternative choice to keep people returning.

very well run establishment, garden centre, local produce supermarket, café and separate restaurantGarden centre well laid out, good quality plantscafé good selection of cakes light meals good value for moneySupermarket of local produce well laid out good selection of local meats ectnice open airy restaurant with good value menuemakes it a destination, good food, good plants

I love the food in the Restaurant it is EXCELLENT and the garden centre is great to walk around the staff are very polite and very helpful as well

Excellent garden centre. Polite staff. Lovely food. Competitive prices too. I have family in Boston and visit regularly. I e mailed the garden centre to ask them to put aside bird feeders for me as I live in Derbyshire. They did this and I was so grateful. Well done to the whole business and I hope to continue shopping and eating here. Jilly

I was out and about for a drive when wife and kids started to mither that they were hungry. I was midway between Skegness and Boston. Everywhere on route seemed to be closed and it was a Monday. I found one pub but it had food served between certain hours so in dismay I drove on and lucky for me as boom Johnsons garden centre appeared. Never heard or been in but it looked great so we parked up in the carpark which was huge and spacious. Entered the restaurant and ordered. Food was lovely and well priced. Staff where wonderful and friendly. I recommend tgis spot to any weary travellers on coast run.

Nice center with decent variety and well maintained displays. Will be taking my parents upon next visit.

Generally stop here as part of the working day. Always busy, scones excellent and usually a flavor of the day.A place for people to meet. Staff helpful and always quick to clear the tables. Part of a Garden Centre - what more do you want!!. Always somewhere to park as well. Also a deli attached, not the cheapest, but does have a good range of products that are a bit different.

We had a nice day with plenty to see. The garden centre was well stocked. Food area was like a mini supermarket and the restaurant offered very tasty food. The restaurant would be better if there was more variety and should exclude dogs. Dogs and food areas do not go, public walking dogs where I want to eat is a big no no to me. Date visited 3 February

Placing the order and getting the food is quite slow and should be improved but the quality and volume is good. Tasty Lincolnshire sausages and lovely butter cooked mushrooms. Recommended for breakfast for sure. had my business quite regularly the past few months.

Have had several visits to the place before and all pretty similar in expierence.It was Friday at 12.30 so pretty much peak time, 70% of diners looked like retired couples, queue was out of the door which tells you lots of good things ! Before you queue grap a reserved card by the entrance to the restaurant door and enter the restaurant and find a table and put card on table, making note of table number, I left other person in my party in the queue and picked up menu off table so could decided while queuing. Choice is very good from a snack pastry to a full roast dinner, the special board contains 4-5 home cooked meals and they do sell out but are crossed off the boards as they sell out which avoids disappointment. You take your drink you order back to the table with you and even with a full cover service fresh cooked food only took 10 minutes from ordering to arriving. We had fresh haddock & chips and chicken & ham pie with fresh veg and tasty fresh mash, nice touch was a boat of gravy rather than the preparer of the food assuming we all like lots of gravy or a shower of gravy ! Table was clean, cutlery was clean, condiments are all sachets but top brands ..Heinz etc. Good atmosphere and either a inside by the fireplace area or a nice warm huge conservatory option to dine. Have and will keep returning to this delightful eaterie. Price for 2 wonderful lunches and 2 drinks less than £14.00 !! Excellent value.

My review is centred on the Owl and Falconry Centre and not of Johnsons in general (no complaints about the garden centre from me anyway).I walked into the centre in October, I found the pens and the husbandry of the owls and Birds of Prey very pleasing. It was evident clean water in the baths/dishes was changed regularly and scrubbed, no fecal matter left in the pens and all the birds displayed in good feather. Good to see plastic netting and not wire used on the pen fronts as can damage feathers and injury. I took note of the good "Falconry furniture", good bowperches, clean anklets and jesses.I didn't see a flying display or centre staff so can't comment on the content further, but no complaints on what I saw.

Visited on a Saturday lunchtime, decided to try the restaurant and it did not disappoint! Good quality home cooked food. Staff are very friendly and polite.Lots to look around, we could not visit without purchasing some of the lovely festivation gifts that were reasonably priced.
