Kingfisher Restaurant in Northumberland

This was a lunch experience I will not repeat. Upon arrival the cafe was busy but many tables were unable to be used as they were covered in dirty crockery. The staff walked past the tables empty handed several times and made no attempt to clear the tables. I eventually cleared a table myself. The service at the order point is incredibly slow and several mistakes were made with our order. After a very long wait, food started to arrive in dribs and drabs. Sandwiches were eaten before I eventually returned to the counter to enquire about drinks and the rest of the order. Staff made no comment as I questioned the delay in our order or when I had to return incorrect items. The milk for my tea was served in a tea pot which I had incorrectly presumed was extra hot water. This is such a shame as it could be a good place as the food was nice.

1st.. Restaurant... Not been here since last year . . Restaurant supposed to be redone.. yes had a lick of paint flooring & lighting but has no personality or warmth to it anymore . Not very nice sitting in.. back fixed seats far too high . 3 plants stuck in corner no saucers for spillage or overflow of water.. Hazard!! Appearances Bland, no atmosphere or ambience, jacket potato & tuna filling tasteless & potato barely warm . Cutlery upon entrance not washed properly.. Tables were left full & unclean.. Have staff on table clearing duty only,other staff serving only cook, serving ect.. you will find a smoother ship.. your staff look miserable.. the specials board was empty with no help from staff.. no incentive whatsoever.. folks & knives still had food on them obviously not checked.. condiments far too high up on dresser to fully reach.. Couple next to us had to ask for 2 hot coffee as the ones that was served were cold.. No order in restaurant or cafe as I now call it as it does not feel special or a place I enjoy being in.. And please don't just reply with we have not finished yet because this should of been finished before it was reopened.. You can do way better.. !! Very disappointed!! 2 out of 5... !!!

We’ve stopped here several times before and things have been ok. However I couldn’t believe the poor service we received today. Initially I had to wait quite some time at the counter where two staff were busy making drinks and stocking the counter. At least one of them must have been aware I was waiting but made no attempt to interact. At one point someone who had been waiting on tables came apologised for my wait and said I’d be seen soon. Eventually the person who had been stocking the counter came and took my order. I assumed the issue was due to staff working in strange circumstances due to the refurb and wasn’t too bothered. I ordered our food and drinks. A sandwich, a cold drink, a scone which I asked to be warmed and a double espresso with some hot water on the side, which I have countless times before here. So far so good. However when I asked that the coffee be served in a slightly larger cup, which I always do, I was told no as it would be an americano. I tried to explain that making a double espresso into a slightly larger cup then adding a small amount of hot water does NOT make it an americano, it more like a long black. I was however abruptly told it was an americano and she wasn’t allowed to do it. As she refused to do what I asked still saying I’d be getting an americano I just had a glass of water. After I’d paid I was offered the cold scone but I asked again for it to be heated. When the scone was brought to the table, it wasn’t warmed and I had to return to the counter to ask a third time for to it to be heated. The sandwich was okay but the salad was just leaves and red onion. Hopefully this is just a glitch due to the refurbishment and when the cafe fully reopens the staff will have been properly trained in customer service.

Always get a good lunch at the Berwick Garden Centre so we stopped off last week, and there was plenty choice and the food was tasty and with good portion sizes. Service was friendly. The garden centre itself was well stocked and they had a Christmas sale so we got some bargains too.

Lovely homemade soup and sandwich, speedy service and good value for money. Seating are upstairs lovely and quiet

A dour place with dour staff who could benefit greatly from staff training . The biscoff bake was disappointing, its only connection to biscoff was a trace of a biscuit crushed and sprinkled very sparingly on the top. The internal layout is deplorable. There was no sense of artistry in the way goods are displayed. It needs someone who knows the retail industry to go in there and set them right .

We took the kids to see Santa. There was so much for them to do, including a giant snow globe and donkeys. Santa was fantastic and they got to pick there own gift. They also got a biscuit and hot chocolate in the cafe. Would 100% recommend and will be back next year!

Amazing experience taking our granddaughter to meet Santa. She loved her time with Santa and her present and we all had fun getting our pictures taken in the snow globe. We then took her for a hot chocolate and Christmas biscuit with the voucher Santa gave to her. Lots of Christmas gifts and food to browse and buy.

My daughter and I enjoyed a happy and relaxing lunch; curried parsnip soup, peppermint cake, coffee and earl grey tea, all served by delightful, friendly staff. We also bought herbs, spices etc from the shop. Thank you.

Food in general is nice. But very very expensive. Almost £10 for quiche & chips, ridiculous. Lots of dirty tables, very unorganised at the till. Slow paced staff. Drinks must be priced incorrectly because what they are charging can't be right. If you want a quick cuppa you'll be fine.

Gutted Bill was 45pd food was awful wanted my money back could of cried. Food tasted like from a dirty kitchen ,even the coffee was awfull

We visit the garden centre regularly and love their bacon rolls .we went this morning and really enjoyed it .we ll be back soon .

A garden centre that, like many nowadays, provides a wide range of plants, garden accoutrements, clothes, local produce, pet and wildlife stuff etc. etc. and of course the ubiquitous cafe. All very nice though. Well laid out, plants looked in excellent condition, the cafe was not too busy and served nice coffee and light lunches.

Here for lunch with my wife, I had cheese and tomato toastie and salad, my wife had lentil couple and crusty bread, tea for two

Have visited twice recently am and pm, hard to get a table that has not been cleared of previous customer dishes. Our tea and shortbread was lovely. I know getting staff is difficult at present, but standards have dropped.

Stopped for a quick breakfast and coffee. Breakfast was only OK, but the coffee tasted terrible, I accept that I'm a coffee snob. I asked to change to coffee for a mint tea, which was cheaper. Asked in a loud voice to explain what was...

This is a review for the Kingfisher Retreat cafe and not the shop and garden centre which are brilliant. We are not in the habit of leaving negative reviews but feel that our experience did not meet expectations. We had a 2 for 1 breakfast...

Was a stop off on a coach tour. cafe was informed in advance of our visit and were well prepared for us. Excellent food and drink but a tad on the expensive side.

Not very welcoming arrived at 5.15 only to be jumped on and told they close at 6 by a girl with a mohican as soon as we walked through the door. Ruined our excitement of going to purchase our real tree which we did still...

Lovely gifts in the shop. Some very unusual things to buy. Lots of Christmas hampers etc. cafe clean and quite big but unfortunately coffee machine broke so only had instant coffee / tea bags. Didn’t order food but quite a few options even a vegan...

Amazing selection of plants, bushes, pots, trees. Love the stone ornaments, I could wander round the plants all day. Cafe is nice too . Good clean toilets . Beautiful pet & aquarium area too.

My 1st visit to this garden centre and have to say was very impressed. Food was well worth the cost . Staff was very helpful .polite. . We’ll definitely visit again

Took my elderly mum to the garden centre for some lunch recently. We were very impressed with how welcoming and friendly the staff where. Food was absolutely delicious and portion sizes were very generous. My mum was unable to finish hers but the staff kindly...

Stopped by and will definitely be returning! Amazing service by staff in there, and amazing quality of food! Great value for money too! Will be back soon! Thankyou guys!

Visited the garden centre with family and decided to go for lunch whilst some staff were lovely and friendly we found the supervisor Colleen to be abrupt and rude as didn’t order food when she felt we should….won’t be back in the cafe not very...

Nice Sunday Roast Dinner but for £12.95, served on cold plate. Lovely Yorkshire Pudding but cold mash. Cold drinks in glasses that were not clean, returned dishwasher machine blamed. Surely, a clean tea towel to buff them up.

We love this garden centre, it's got everything. Lovely staff, pet shop area, fantastic garden furniture & usual plants ect... and the BEST cafe. We mainly visit for the cafe then do some food shopping at the entrance (we love the freezer section) My husband...

Stumbled on this establishment by chance whilst travelling to Berwick upon Tweed and we weren't dissapointed in the least, we had two wonderful lunches and the staff couldn't have been nicer if they tried. One other thing that made it worth while was that everyone...

Had lunch here with a friend the food was good & reasonably priced. Sitting outside means you can view the plants for sale. Dogs welcome in the outside seating area, when entering don’t go through the food area with your dog a sign requests you...

Went to Christmas lunch on Sunday before Christmas. Ordered and paid downstairs then went upstairs for meal. My husband ordered Turkey Christmas meal and I ordered beef. He did not get pigs in blankets or usual Christmas veg. Got peas !!, carrots and 4 sprouts....

Paid £7.50 for my 3 granddaughters to see Santa, the presents were terrible! 2 we’re sisters 1 and 3.5 they both got exactly the same present a small farm animal jigsaw, so disappointed and so were the girls won’t be back !!!

We was so excited to come along with our two puppies and 15 month old puppy on a lead.. But not very welcomed! Dog basically couldn’t go ANYWHERE which obviously upset my dog as we was taking the puppies in different areas while carrying them....

We visited the garden centre on our way back down home after our visit up Scotland , we stopped off for breakfast. Very friendly & great service. The staff couldn’t do enough for you & great with the kids. Menu was excellent & the food...

Love this place it’s full of great items including fresh produce. It’s a great place to visit for quirky gifts and a choice of Scottish items being it just before the border. Well worth a visit here

The Garden Centre itself is well stocked both with plants and garden equipment and is a very pleasant place to walk around and browse through the plants and gift area. Staff are helpful too. The restaurant does a good range of breakfast and lunch items...

Paid a visit to Berwick Garden centre and bought lovely food and it has lots to shop for from shoes and nicknacks. Lovely friendly staff in a nice location.

Went fr lunch last week and gr8 left over Sunday lunch on Monday and it was very poor we cplained and told it will improve and tad the potatoan leeksoup was watery bland and very Porte cheese scone was not cooked it was dough inside...

We both visited the garden centre section, when we were in the area, reasonable sized plant area good selection of garden tools, solar lights, and other horticultural sundries,well worth a visit.

We wanted plants for the garden, and ended up with garden furniture as well as plants; also a fire-pit! as the prices were so reasonable. In between our purchases we had quiche and salad, with a large pot of tea in the sunshine; just lovely...

Excellent COVID arrangements. Very quick service from polite and friendly staff. My ham, eggs and cheicken was excellent with really good quality ham. My husband's burger was very good too with a proper cheese topping. Will be back.

Visited for coffee and hot rolls while on holiday in the area. I've eaten here before and enjoyed it, but we were disappointed this time. My roll was unbuttered, with no butter offered. Might not have mattered if the sausages hadn't been all dried up....

Our group of 6 arrived ready for a drink and snack after an “aborted” attempt at a nearby tearoom. Whilst a couple of our group couldn’t get their first choice snack due to them having only one portion of the coffee and walnut cake left to satisfy our request for three, the lemon cheesecake replacement chosen got a big thumbs up. So did the the scone with cream, the strawberry tart and, of course, the final portion of coffee and walnut cake we had chosen.Drinks were well received too. The 3 “luxury” hot chocolate drinkers especially enjoyed theirs agreeing they tasted like “proper” chocolate was used and not a powdered version. In summary, everything was of good quality and reasonably priced. The staff were also very friendly, helpful and polite. I would have no hesitation in returning again on a future visit to Berwick. In fact, the Berwick Garden Centre, has been a frequent stopping point for my father-in-law for a number of years during his twice yearly trips to stay in Berwick. His recommendation was fully justified.

Visited here as we were in the area and looked ok online. When we got to cafe/restaurant we queued on the yellow lines as per covid guidance absolutely fine no problem, there were 2 couples in front of us and one behind. The waitress on the door said theres a 5 minute wait can you come back in 5 mins, we didn't move as we didn't feel a 5 min wait was too bad and we had a toddler who needed feeding and didn't want to lose our place in the queue, the other couples felt the same and the waitress had just taken a couple through so now there was only one couple in front, the waitress came back and asked abruptly for us to go away and come back in 5 mins so at this point I said no im not losing my place in the queue, within two minutes the couple in front were seated as then were we, it completely baffled us as to why we were being asked to go away and come back to basically lose our point in the queue...maybe we should have taken it as a hint and gone elsewhere?! We ordered sandwiches/toastie, quiche and kids picnic lunch. Very disappointed to be honest food wasn't great, quiche a bit tasteless, kids picnic sandwich was a doorstop of white bread and ham which is fine but the bread wasnt buttered so really dry?!bit odd!! I'm just glad the government 50% off scheme was in place as I wouldn't have wanted to pay more for the food tbh. When the waitress also brought our drinks over there was a tray left from the previous people, she took one look at it and didn't bother moving it or wiping table...not great in light of covid and just basically lazy!! We had a wander around the garden centre after and its really poor and tatty. We go to Mayfield in Kelso a lot and that place is kept immaculate. Needless to say we wont be back not worth a visit and cafe dire!

My wife and I have been coming here for the last 10 years. The quality of the food is always spot on and portion sizes are generous. The precautions dealing with covid leaving you feel safe.

My wife and I go to the garden centre occasionally maybe once a month, we have always found the staff very friendly,the food is of a high standard and reasonably priced, and the environment & views are very pleasent,the seating is varied with outside areas in the good weather. We've been going for years and it just gets better.

I would like to say a special thank you to Amy who, when I asked what was available for vegans, went through the menu with me and combined the curry with a jacket potato and side salad. She is really knowledgeable about different diets and allergies and I'm looking forward to my next visit as she has noted the growing demand for vegan food and more options will be available in the future. Other staff are friendly and helpful too, and the food was delicious - and at an extremely reasonable price.

My mother's "special" lunch of mince and dumplings was very bland, tasteless, lacking in any seasoning and not very hot. She hardly ate any of it. Charmless staff

Called in here for convenience while on holiday. Busy cafe, lots of menu choice with typical garden centre style decor and seating..... Self service or wooden spoon to place on table ready for food order to be waitress served.Quite a wait for food to arrive, it wasn't that hot, portions OK but we've had much better. Wouldn't return again.

A really lovely garden centre with very helpful staff. Had the Sunday lunch of beef with a giant Yorkshire Pudding two veg new potatoes and roast potatoes. Added bonus of a side portion of horseradish sauce. Excellent meal, great value for money. Thoroughly recommended

Visited here on our way to our holiday cottage, very good selection of plants, trees shrubs and ornaments for garden, variety of sheds, summer houses, well placed areas to browse around, lovely inside too lots of unusual gifts for the house etc. Worth a visit, clean fresh and tidy. Lovely staff, fresh food to buy too, quiche, scones etc homemade to takeaway. Lovely.

We like this garden centre and it's very spacious cafe. Last week we had our Sunday lunch. The beef dinners were fine and service very good.

A really lovely garden centre. Products and prices really reasonable. The service from the staff was out standing ( especially a young lady called Geraldine Skelly, who could not do enough to help us).

Been here plenty of times but food just seems to get worse and worse. Dunbar garden centre has the same menu but standards are much better. Soup was tasteless, served with stale bread, quiche was rubbery with old salad and inedible coleslaw. Staff always friendly.

We stopped here a couple of years ago so decided to stop and have something to eat and despite it being mid afternoon we still had a meal. I had a salad and it was really huge, my plate filled with a lot of fresh salad stuff and proper ham, not processed stuff so well done!We finished off with a late and then took a wander around the really spacious garden centre. Great for a break when you’re heading down the A1. I was just frustrated at not being able to buy plants as we would be staying in a hotel for a break!

Stopped here after what can only be describe as a motorway nightmare from Edinburgh. The ladies in the restaurant were so nice, especially Donna. Nice cup of tea and coffee, in fact my husband had two coffees, but then I couldn’t refuse as it was his birthday. Food quality good, portion size good, and price good. Will definitely call in again on our future travels. So easy to access from A1.

Called on the way somewhere else and decided to lunch here, glad we did,food was of a good quality and tasty. We had the jacket potato with coronation chicken, ham egg and chips, and the mac and cheese with bacon and crisps. All were good although we thought the addition of coleslaw to the ham egg and chips a bit odd!

Popped in on the way back to Newcastle for refreshments. Just had tea and cake but I have to say that the paradise cake was the best I have ever tasted. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

This was our first time to the garden centre. We were staying in Ashington and our friends live in Edinburgh. Berwick-upon-Tweed is a good half way for both of us. As two of the four are in wheelchairs this was a good place to go and have a lunch then a walk around the garden centre. There is plenty to choose from and if you ask about allergens they are able to offer advise as to what is safe to order to eat. My allergy is dairy, I ordered ham eggs and chips. A well sized meal, the ham is beautiful and juicy, the chips were typical frozen but edible, unfortunately the eggs were over cooked and greasy. But the eggs didn’t stop me eating the ham and chips. We also orders a large and small fish and cups with garden peas. Okay meal, but nothing exciting, the peas are tinned peas so have the dark green look. And finally a jacket potato with tuna and cheese. Again a typical over cooked potato but edible. The garden centre is easy to get around and sells other household nicks and naks from candles to glass trinkets furniture and food. It has a post office, but that only opens in the morning. In general it’s a nice place to walk around if the day has poor weather.

Visited here whilst on holiday in Spittal .Enjoyed looking round garden centre and my husband and granddaughter enjoy looking at the pets and fish also the reptiles.This is a regular stop off for my daughter when working in the area for lunch.Good choice of food made on the premises and the desserts are good value with a choice of coffees,to eat outdoors if the weather is good.Staff very friendly and efficient

We often stop off here on our way back home and this was no exception. The place was very busy but we managed to find a table and enjoyed our lunch - I had a lovely home made quiche! It's been refurbished since the last time we were here. The shop and gift section was also very busy with lots of plants being sold.

Went here for a breakfast- ordered full Scottish which was so dried up we could not cut through the the bacon or the black pudding! Such a shame as the restaurant is a lovely space. Not cheap either! Staff lacking in customer service. Sadly we will not be back!Garden centre itself is lovely and well stocked with a great selection.

East Ord Garden Centre is An Oasis just Off The Busy A1 , Beautiful Flowers , Gifts ,Garden Wear ,Kitchen Wear with Preserves mouth watering by the way The Cafe is excellent whether you're in for Coffee and Cake or for Meals . Don't forget to visit their pets

Yummy cheese scone and tea, delicious! Plenty of space to sit and enjoy , view of garden area too. Shop was as busy as ever but the staff always have time for a smile and friendly chat. Lots of lovely tasty treats on offer , even mid afternoon; plenty of fresh scones, cakes and tray bakes. Well worth a visit.

Scrambled eggs solid, could be cut with a knife. Bacon overcooked and hard, mushrooms wizened, amazed how such simple food could be so badly cooked. Will not be recommending this venue.

We stop here for lunch on a coach trip. Food was good but took a while to get served as it was very busy. Plenty of seating available with stairs and a lift to upstairs. Would recommend if passing by.

I go here most weeks lovely scones and coffee, friendly staff also very clean and tidy in the restaurant. Always plenty of plants to buy and a large selection of gifts of the odd birthday present prices vary always something to be found

Called in last week for a quick sandwich lunch however spent more time trying to place an order than it took to eat the order when it arrived.Ridiculous that a venue of this size only had one counter assistant at lunchtime not only taking orders but having to stop,taking orders in order to make hot drinks etc.Bad management that is costing you money as it was evident that you appear to have more than enough staff hidden in the kitchen that could assist your front line.The pricing of individual,items on your service counter is also questionable as I am sure that it puts customers of buying things,the first time in a long time I have seen couples buying individual items to share.The overall,surroundings are also a bit hospital waiting room like to,the extent the restaurant needs a major makeover.In summary this venue has massive potential which could be achieved by simply employing someone with good retail experience.

We visited today for a light lunch and to use our free pot of tea vouchers. We aimed to share a panini or toastie and a cake along with a put of tea.On the new menu displayed on the wall there was an item for a Trotters Stottie. We were drawn to this as we had not had a wonderful North East of England stottie for some time. We chose this bacon, lettuce and tomato stottie.To say we were disappointed is an understatement as we were brought a BLT in a large morning roll. We took the item back to the counter and explained that this was not a stottie as advertised. The waiting staff said that this is what they serve as it is a larger roll than they usually serve. I a man sure if I went to Trotters Bakers and asked to but a stottie I would not be given a morning roll.I would request that the menu is changed from stottie to large roll to reflect what Is served.We were disappointed with both the item and the customer service that we received.

Been visiting this garden centre for a few years now, and it just keeps getting better each year! Every department is good, from pet department, food section, clothing, gardening and personal gifts/cards to suit all tastes. Prices vary but you get quality goods for your money. The Restaurant always delivers good food, very well cooked and excellent portions. Prices very good, and you'll never leave hungry. Friendly staff covering all departments, too. So give this garden centre a visit! It's definitely worth dropping by for an hour or two!!

just off the roundabout with plenty of parking. averaged sized garden centre and limited toilet facilities

Went here for look around and had lunch. Very busy due to 2 bus loads of people being there, but plenty of seats available. We went upstairs which is very nice. Had the soup of the day and cheese scones which was very tasty indeed. Staff here are so so friendly. Lovely.

Visited the Kingfisher twice in a week as it offers good food and great service.Bacon rolls are great and scones are also good.Great selection of tasty cakes.Staff are very friendly.

We arrived for our lunch the 3 kids wanted sausage chips and bean to our amazement there was nothing on for our kids to eat they would not put themselves out and make it now they do breakfast with sausages it wouldn't if taken much to pop some in the fryer we won't be back

Visit with my elderly mother who has mobility problems and is usually housebound. Mum wanted coffee but likes it very weak. The lady serving, very kindly gave Mum a glass of hot milk with the coffee shot in a separate jug so she could mix it to her liking. This was so thoughtful and very much appreciated. Mum really enjoyed her coffee and outing. Thank you for making this such a nice experience for her.

Visited today with my boyfriend. The scones and cakes were extremely tasty, but we also had lunch. I opted for the coronation chicken panini which was good and loved that it came with mango chutney. The macaroni my partner had was bland, and over £6 for plain macaroni with no sides was disappointing. There was no extra cheese on it either. Our tea could've been hotter aswell but was drinkable.

Very friendly and helpful staff in the cafe. Wide variety of things to buy in the main shop. Well worth a visit.

Very spacious establishment with with lots of departments, it also has a clothing department with traditional Scottish products, the food range is brilliant with great choice of various local produce,worth a visit.

Delicious cakes and scones, good selection of drinks and the free wi-fi is very useful, if it is a little slow.

Five of us called here for lunch after a walk around the ancient town walls. It was not busy and the cafeteria style food and service was fine. I had a grilled chicken burger with salad and coffee which was around £10. I thought this was reasonable considering the salad was substantial. This restaurant has improved somewhat since the last time I was here. I would recommend it. The other people in our party were well satisfied.

A great find! Stopped in past today with family including my 19 month old daughter. Staff are very friendly and welcoming, food was delicious- homemade and very reasonably priced! Facilities were clean and there’s a lift for those who are in need of it to the extra seated area upstairs.The shop itself is well stocked with good quality items. We will most definitely be back!!

I’ve used this as a stopping place for about 15 years. Coffee hot and tasty, scones and tray bakes fresh and well baked. Very reasonably priced. A good selection of other products for sale in addition to the garden stuff. Toilets always clean. Staff pleasant and helpful.

We visited here on our way down south. We stopped for a browse and a coffee. We had coffee and cake which were delicious and very reasonably priced. The general atmosphere is quaint and olde worlde, which I liked they had much on offer apart from the usual Garden centre stuff.

Went to Berwick. Got annoyed driving round it. Got annoyed after having parked you needed to find a disc to display what time you arrived. Left Berwick. Everyone hungry so stopped here.The place put me in mind of what Garden Centres would look like during the Great Depression, and the restaurant put me in mind of a works café in the 1960s.However, despite some random choices (side salad with fish and chips anyone?) the service was quick and efficient and the food was hot, well presented and very enjoyable.Take care not to step on the cat (random!) which sprawls on the floor as you explore the garden centre. One girl we observed did, and the cat really took offense.

Busy place, quick service, good home made food. Homemade soup, chunk of bread and butter. Good feeling, clean and comfortable.

wonderful place very good value for money. The staff are very friendly and helpful it was very busy when we were there but the service did not suffer. The food was fresh and lovely would tell other people about this place

An excellent garden centre with plenty of choice of indoor and outdoor plants at competitive prices and attentive staff

Paid £6.45 for this mac n cheese. It was small. Bland and soggy. My mum couldnt eat her side salad as it was covered in a brown liquid. My partner had the coronation chicken sandwich and he said it had no taste. We used to eat here a lot but dont think we will be back anymore. Not value for money anymore

Have visited on a number of occasions, and can heartily recommend their breakfast with haggis. Lunch there today. Chips a bit over cooked, but fish good and hot. Staff friendly.

Lots of things to tempt the opening of your wallet!!! A nice cafe, pleasant staff and a lovely atmosphere.

The food is really good, staff are so friendly and helpful. Lovely to sit outside on a fine day and plenty of seating inside.

A nice well-stocked garden centre. Cakes and sandwiches at the Kingfishers Rest cafe are highly recommended.

enjoyed lunch here, good food and service. Dropped in for coffee and ended up having a small lunch, bacon baps full of bacon.

Lovely lunches and warm welcoming staff have been here a few times and will go again, food was hot and portion sizes were good

I first contacted the garden centre by telephone and the member of staff in the restaurant could not have been more helpful. I wanted to arrange a family get together as we were doing a day trip to Berwick by train. A table was reserved for us in a quiet area and the staff could not have been more helpful. The food was excellent and they also provided a birthday cake. I can recommend Berwick garden centre to everyone, whether for a meal or to shop in the garden centre. You will not be disappointed.

Called in for coffee and a scone very disappointed, flat white coffee was lacking in flavour and the fruit scone was very dry. It was that dry it was impossible to spread the butter and jam, this is my first visit but probably my last.

Absolutely disappointing. I chose the 5.95 savers menu which consisted of 1 sausage. 1 egg. 1 rasher of bacon. 1 hash brown & beans. Which in itself seems like good value but there was no toast and no tea or coffee. All of my food was over cooked and hard. Really wish I’d take a picture when it arrived. I actually laughed at the plate. My husband had a sausage and egg roll. His roll had been ripped open. No butter and like mine all over-cooked. His egg was like rubber. We have been here many times but we have never had an experience like this before. Doubt I’ll be back for breakfast.
