Jungle Tea Room in Horsham

A lovely little find for us today, with amazing homemade cakes in the quaint coffee shop.

We’ve been going to the Jungle cafe since it opened a few years back. Handy as we live in Ashington and also have a passion for exotic plants. Mandy and her staff are exceptional. There’s a lovely warm welcome and a lot of thought has gone into the look and feel of the building and its surroundings. You feel like you’re in a tropical paradise. Shame they had to come to the hard decision forbidding dogs especially as we used to walk ours there but I recognise staff welfare is important so we still pop in for a scrumptious cake and brew. Highly recommend

I had lunch with a friend today. We both had tuna sandwiches, tea and cake. The food was homemade and delicious. The place has a cozy and friendly ambiance. Highly recommended.

Absolutely first class food, lovely staff and a great setting.

Always good, home cooked food and friendly service

A real little gem. Tucked away in the Big Plant Nursery (which is also lovely), you wouldn't know the tea room was there. I had a really nice, big piece of homemade bread pudding, and at £3 was very reasonable. My friend had a cheese scone. Again, it was a good size and was warmed up first. Service was excellent and personal. Would definitely come back. Sadly, dogs are not allowed as 3 members of staff had been bitten.

Lovely place to go & very friendly.

Always as delightful experience.

Really is in a jungle. Great atmosphere, great food, great team.

A lovely find outside Ashington. Great atmosphere and very welcoming, too. Excellent coffee and cakes.

Really nice lovely staff price very fair

Fabulous everything. Sat in as grim weather and it was rammed but the staff were so efficient and friendly. Excellent quality food and a real happy vibe. No dogs now but the staff have been bitten too many times to mention so absolutely fair call.

Great place to stop for lunch, delicious homemade cake, great coffee ( I am quite fussy). Plus the big plant centre and cafe compliment each other

Always looking for somewhere new, nothing big and corporate. This was one of those quirky small business tea rooms that also cater for Gluten free diets. Within the garden centre called Big Plant Nursery ltd here in Hole south of Ashington we have passed this without knowing many times so today made that effort. Very pleasant surroundings, tasty food with ample choices. Knowledgable and attentive staff. Certainly recommended and another place to come back to when passing.

Welcoming and friendly, local produce, perfectly cooked, highly recommend. They have refined what they do here so no early big breakfasts and more brunch offerings quality to the fore. Great food cooked well and friendly staff. Filling jacket potato with many fillings same as sandwiches salmon avocado cheeses and beans salad and a great slaw. Bubble n squeek with a salmon side now my fave here. Popular so can be worth phoning ahead to reserve a table especially Fridays. Keep going back here... Lovely in this nice weather to sit outside and pick plants for the garden as you eat.

Wonderful little place to sit and the food/cake is amazing!!

Lovely tea room cake was divine and coffee really good. Lovely staff.

Great place will be returning, lovely food, staff and atmosphere!!

Excellent cheese scones highly recommend them. Lovely staff very friendly and welcoming.

Attentive friendly staff, very welcoming and accommodating to plant based/diet requests. Delicious brunches and cakes, good coffee. My favourite cafe in area.

Great hidden away place for a snack. I had Tea cake and tea.

Love it here..fabulous selection of cakes...excellent toasties and friendly staff.

Lovely wee place! Delicious food, warm drinks, fair prices and easy parking. Spaced out from other customers but still felt quite cosy.

Lovely cafe/garden centre. Excellent service and really delicious hot food and drinks. The toasted brie and cranberry was really good! Would definitely return again!

Lovely little hidden jewel (although not to cyclists it would seem) in a garden centre selling mature plants. Very nice food (but do not expect your usual full English. I had poached eggs and avocado on toast and the eggs were done perfectly) and a very pleasant and professional waitress.

Great place for meeting friends, having breakfast, coffee, lunch, cake and scones.

An amazing little cafe in the middle of the garden nursery, I had such a fresh delicious meal, coffee and great friendly service!

Nice little cosy tearoom inside Big Plants. Coffee was excellent and very friendly staff.

5 stars on all fronts.Will definitely visit again.

Great selection of plants. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Cafe is no different, and amazing brunch options!

Fantastic place ..extraordinary range of spectacular big plants The cafe is first rate. Home made cakes and excellent coffee. Friendly welcoming atmosphere.

Had not been to this nursery or cafe before. Served by the very friendly Mandy.We had the stilton and mushroom toasted sandwhich,the cheeses,ham and mustard toasted sandwich and hot drinks.All very nice and nicely presented. They even had fresh cream for hubby's coffee which is rare these days,so well done! Went in about 1pm on a wet Sunday and it was getting quite busy.Will certainly be back.

Great little place for refreshments. Really friendly service. Can highly recommend the stilton and mushroom toastie!! Beautiful plants in the greenhouses for sale.

Very good, nice place to go and have a great cup of tea or coffee and a delicious meal or a piece of cake, Go there enjoy! (Excellent plans as well) 🌱🌵🌿🌾🌷🌹🌻🌼🏵️💐

Lovely service. Tasty cheese scone.

Lovely cosy cafe. Great for kids - since it's within the nursery expect it to be crowded. Food was fine - you go here for the ambience

A slightly strange (not in a nasty way) cafe. I enjoyed my coffee. The walnut carrot cake was lovely. It wasn't busy, but groups were queuing patiently for tables. The staff were friendly and helpful. It was all very relaxed and pleasant.

Pleasant cafe in excellent surroundings of the plant nursery

Beautiful and relaxing place, seating inside or outside on the terrace amongst the plants. Serving good tea and coffee, great sandwiches and excellent cakes.

First time visit to the tea rooms and despite an unexpected power cut, the tea room team were still able to supply wonderful sandwiches, homemade cakes and cold drinks and the service continued with a smile. Every bit worth a visit, great food, good value and great team work.

Really lovely café. Felt like we were sitting somewhere tropical. Fabulous plants. I always thought I baked the best cheese scones but the one I had today rivals mine. Super cheesy and tasty chutney. Lovely selection of food and speciality teas. Definitely coming back again

Really tasty lunch and super warm service, a relaxing place and perfect for a rainy day lunch...

Quirky and lovely. Coffee, cake and food served with a smile. I’m now a regular.

Simple food, well prepared. Lovely hot coffee. Pleasant staff and atmosphere.

Very polite staff, great food, especially the scones and in the wonderful surroundings of the big plant nursery making it feel that you're in a jungle. Highly recommend.

Very nice tropical plants and very helpful staff

Friendly staff but outdoors. Good tea & cakes

Beautiful setting. Great service and food.

Great staff and wonderful food!!

Food very tasty. Freshly cooked

Shut down but does open up soon and good service and nosh 👍

Consistently good food, I'm not vegan but the mushroom, rocket and onion chutney sandwich s delicious. I also love the blueberry scones. Friendly, warm safe covered outside area and a great selection of greetings cards. My only critisicm is the car park which is very muddy in places

Good coffee and freindly staff.

Just had a really great cup of coffee in this tea room. The staff were very friendly. We didn't eat here but the food we saw served to other tables looked delicious.

Fantastic place. The staff are lovely and the food and drinks are amazing. It's always a pleasure to go there.

Didn't use the tea room, but it looked clean and tidy, and covid aware

We do not visit very frequently, but its always a lovely experience. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The food is all fresh and tasty. Once again I opted for the cheese scone with cream cheese and chutney and it was as good as previous visits. Family members chose coronation chicken sandwiches which were so different and much tasty to the mass produced sandwiches often presented in cafes. The filling was home made with large pieces of chicken and a tasty and tangy coronation sauce.

Originally popped in here after a recommendation and after three visits have never been disappointed. They serve great coffee and a good selection of generous sized cakes.The staff are really lovely and friendly and look forward to my next visit mid-cycle ride, this time for a blueberry scone.

Stopped over for a welcome cuppa while on a walk in the area. Staff were not very welcoming but were quite busy. I asked for a fruit scone but it was inedible , no fuss was made and a replacement given. I had to ask again for my earl grey tea and a Camomile tea came instead after a lot of waiting. I couldn’t be bothered to complain again so drank it. Such a shame , this place could be so much better as a lovely location and nothing else for miles around.

Great little hideaway amongst the tropical plants in the nursery. Transports you away to warmer climates.

Lovely little Tea Room at the end of the Big Plant Nursery. The peanut butter ice cream is so moreish

Lovely little place for a coffee & toastie

I'm a regular at The Jungle. The food is fantastic and always fresh. The cakes are always very good, including their very own Blueberry Scones. The staff are lovely, very friendly and caring. It''s quite often very full of customers, but so far always willing to share their tables. The Cafe has a great atmosphere, and always welcoming. It's the best foodie venue in Ashington.

Fantastic restaurant, food beautiful

Great little place. I have sampled their excellent bacon sandwiches and cakes, but their cheese scones are amazing. They have a good range of teas to choose from as well. Staff are very friendly.

Wicked, wicked! Jungle Tea Room is massive!

Nice but other customers rude when we asked them to keep their dog by them and not sitting under our table begging for food

Brilliant, food and friendly service will always go again. 😎

Nice coffee and the food looked really good from what I saw. Only downside is it is quite small so doesn't take too many people to arrive before it becomes really busy. Makes for a nice cafe atmosphere but I could see that getting a seat may be problematic. Think it worked out at a tenner for 4 coffees-2 lattes, 1 cappuccino and a regular black coffee, so pretty reasonable these days.

Will give it 5 stars because the food and coffee is so good, although it could do with a baby change in the toilet!

My first time at the jungle tea rooms and I was very impressed! Staff were extremely friendly and polite and the drinks and cakes (lemon and elderflower) were lovely. It was very busy but we didn't have to wait long at all. I would definitely recommend ❤

Delicious food. Very friendly. Reasonably priced.

I can't rate the jungle more highly, the food and service is fantastic, would recommend anyone to go

Quiet location attached to an interesting nursery. Do NOT be put off by your first impression, Staff are lovely and the breakfasts are superb. Minor drawback with parking spaces but you can park on the road.

Superb breakfast, fantastic cakes, great service, clean and very friendly

Another lovely breakfast, this is now officially my favourite. Perfect coffee ( even though I forgot to ask for a normal cup for my latte, not one of the weird glasses that I cant stand) and just the right amount of friendly ( normal friendly not wierd chain cafe friendly) Highly recommended

I rarely write reviews but this place is deserved of doing so - we've been coming here since it first opened and cannot fault it, the food, atmosphere and service are outstanding. I would urge anyone reading this who is considering going to stop reading and get down there, you will not be disappointed.

Very nice place ! Great staff & excellent food Lord Barber.

Great place for coffee and delicious homemade cakes or maybe lunch. Friendly staff. Would recommend

Great place lovely atmosphere, a little expensive bit lovely style and service. Good food as well.

A hidden gem of a place. Been here a few times now - consistently very good. Great coffee, food and excellent attentive service. The design of the cafe is brilliant, with the electric heaters on the veranda. Dog friendly. Fully recommended.

Fantastic food and very friendly staff and will return!!

Had the mini breakfast which was excellent. Nice staff and a nice range of cakes.

Very cosy, friendly staff, good food, and coffee

Great coffee and scone here ( loads more on offer too). Querky and rustic decor, will be back.

Always good. and handy to go to

Lovely location, great food and drink in a beautiful Jungle themed cafè what more would you want? I was informed the sausages and bacon all produced by local butchers and taste absolutely amazing. Highly recommended 5⭐

Amazing! Fantastic service and atmosphere, food hot when served and very good quality in addition to lovely coffee! Top marks! Well done 👍🏻

It's a small place set in a small garden center..Food is freshly cooked . Lots of different teas to drink. Give it a try

Whoever is in the kitchen here really knows what they are doing. Sandwiches and cakes were excellent and the gluten free options were good. Friendly service, well behaved dogs allowed (and mine) and the heavest teapot in Sussex. Recommended.

Great little dog friendly cafe with gluten free options. The sandwiches we had were lovely & reasonably priced and a nice selection of cakes. Seeing the brunches coming out we plan to return again soon!

I live locally to the Jungle room, which is in the corner of a small independent garden centre. The staff are very friendly with a good range of food.

We keep coming back for the all day breakfasts and cakes. Birthday lunch trip,it’s start of the holidays treat, nephew came for a sleepover treat, any excuse! Variety of choices for meaty people, veggie people and vegan people with all sorts of milks for your tea. We love it!

Hidden away at the back of this nursery which specialises in big plants is the Jungle Tea Room which, despite its name, is open for breakfasts. The breakfasts are excellent, freshly cooked with mainly local produce and served with a smile. Great value for money from what appears to be a family business.

Nice cafe for breakfast or tea. Got a good choice of food items and really quick, even when it was quite busy.

This tea room is very quaint . Food choice & quality very impressive, A must to vsit, And the staff were exceptional - with friendly cheerful service, along with a sense of humour. LOVE IT>

What a great breakfast and staff very helpful

Lovely garden centre with an excellent good value cafe.

Tasty food, relaxed atmosphere. Sandwiches and scones were delicious. Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the cafe, and there is an outside seating area as well.

Lovely home made cakes and and very friendly place. :-)
