Lady Green Garden Centre in Sefton

A cheerful welcome in the cafe at the till by a very friendly lady. I decided to give the breakfast another chance having been disappointed the last time I went. Things had not improved. I was the first person to order at 9am and my full English breakfast came to me very quickly 6 or 7 minutes later. Quick but too quick as everything but the fried egg was at best lukewarm. The bacon was leathery and it seemed that the ingredients were just warmed up from the day before. Too quick a service to be served freshly cooked especially first of the morning and, if it was re heated it needed a lot longer in the microwave. This was the same experience as I had last time unfortunately. I feel there is not enough care given to the food or customer satisfaction.

Tasty food. Served by a Lovely , pleasant friendly lady called Sarah who went out of her way to accommodate us. We will definitely return soon.

I enjoy coming to Lady Green the food is normally nice, as is the coffee. But the staff can make it almost unbearable. Apart from being so incredibly slow, it's not the first time I have heard them discussing other staff members and not in the nicest way. This seems to be more important than serving people at times too.

Very disappointed in the breakfast, Food wasnt even warm, bacon and black pudding hard, sausages dry, egg cold, but nice toast. I think the bacon, black pudding and sausage had been cooked early and that’s why they had dried out. One of the group had eggs Benedict, the eggs were cold. Would not go for breakfast again.

Had fish and chips which is always a risk unless you know for certain otherwise. The batter was claggy, the fish was overcooked and the chips weren't hot.

Visited Friday 22/12/23 for a pre booked Christmas Lunch….have to say it was FABULOUS. ..from walking in, being escorted to our reserved table by the lovely Denise, being waited on by the attentive Steve, you didn’t fail at anything! All the staff were so generous and friendly, all table service. 10/10 to the chefs in the kitchen for the quality and presentation of the food, excellent. Thank you all, Kath & Barry

Attended Breakfast with Santa yesterday. Was busy but food was lovely and piping hot. Lovely experience especially for the little ones. You do pay a bit extra but its a nice little treat when we come here.

The restaurant is the worst . It’s called Strikes …..The garden centre is fine. We used to go there and have the big sausage rolls, and a coffee, and it was nice if a bit expensive. Lately, the sausage rolls have halved in size and the price has increased greatly. If you want a vegetarian pastie , that will cost you £9. That’s nine pounds !!! A piece of quiche, £11……yes eleven pounds. The cakes are all open to the air, and are dry as a bone. They are nothing special, just basic cake, but still twice the price of anywhere else. Even the coffees are smaller than normal. The large coffees here, are what anywhere else would call small. Basically a rip off, and to say it’s because the cost of living is increasing would be just taking the p… A small bottle of Diet Coke ….£2.60 That’s a small glass full. They cater for the Porsche club here, as it’s on the main route from Southport and Formby…so the customers are quite well off. It’s Ince Blundell……not bloody Knightsbridge. What a greedy company

I have been using lady green for a number of years now, taking service users for lunch. Over the last few weeks I have noticed a massive improvement in the quality of food. Usually, the food can be hit and miss but over the last 2/3 weeks I have gone several times and been satisfied each time.

This cafe has long been one of my favourite places to eat as the food is great, the staff are lovely, the prices are reasonable and the setting within the garden centre is really nice. However, I was disappointed yesterday when I asked if I could have the gammon, egg and chips from the main menu but without the gammon as I don't eat meat. The server asked the chef who replied that he could do that for me (like he was doing me a big favour) but that I'd still have to pay full price. Given that I'd have to be an idiot to pay almost thirteen quid for two fried eggs and a portion of chips, I politely declined. I reckon double eggs and chips would be a very popular addition to the menu and ask that the management be a bit more flexible. BTW, I ended up with a cheese and caramelised onion toasty. Unfortunately it was cold. I should really have taken it back but chose not to make a fuss.

Staff not very friendly. Cup which was given to me was dirty. I asked for a clean one and was passed to me without an apology nor a smile. I just feel like It was too much trouble for them. Food quite expensive.

2 coffees ,a cake and scone ,the scone was big but omg it was a dry as a bone tiny bit of jam ,woudnt return to eat there .no food covered with fly's around it .

I visited the Topiary Restaurant at Lady Green Garden Centre last week for lunch. I hadn't visited this place for years but having heard some glowing reviews from family, I decided to give it another try. Although we arrived around 12pm, the restaurant was far from full so we weren't fighting over tables. We were served quickly at the counter by two members of staff, who between them were working very efficiently. I ordered the tuna sandwich on brown which was absolutely delicious. The cost of this was around £6.75, which admittedly sounds expensive. However, the quality of the food meant that this was good value for money and I really enjoyed my lunch. The sandwich was also served with fresh side salad. We also ordered some chips which came beautifully presented in a mini deep fryer (want for a better word!). This place also served hot food, as well as toasted sandwiches, so there's enough choice for everyone. The hot drinks were also very good. I was also pleased with the general presentation of this café. It looks to have been recently refurbished as the place appeared modern and sleek. There is plenty of seating so there was no shortage of available tables, even when the place got busier towards 1pm. The whole restaurant, including the toilets, was also nice and clean. The only downside is that we sat at a booth table, which was located close to an air conditioner, meant that it was a little cold sat there. Having said that, air conditioning is a Godsend when it gets hot! Overall, there is very little to complain about with this café. Although the menu, at first glance, admittedly appears simplistic, this place delivers on its excellent execution of what it does serve. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here and I would definitely recommend and return myself!

Roast beef baguette with caramelised onions? Sounds nice except beef was last week's dry and chunky, onions do not come in a jar? They should be cooked in a pan..terrible never again, wife had chicken tikka jacket potato that was dry and chicken hard sauce again from a jar? Time they got a chef that can cook and make an easy sauce..and fry onions?

We tried the '2 meals for £15' Thursday evening offer. It runs from 5:30 to 7 :00 and we ordered at around 6:15. I chose the trio of farmhouse sausages. What was served, without comment, was two vegetarian sausages. When I mentioned the disparity between what was on the menu and what was on my plate I was told that as they had run out of sausages I had to have the veggie version. Presumably they only had two of them left. 2 veggie sausages, a dollop of creamed spuds and a splodge of glutinous gravy. Add in small bottles of pop for over £3 and I began to wonder whether I was on candid camera. Awful.

Love this garden centre and the cafe. They do some lovely meals and snacks which are all well presented and delicious. Usually go for a sandwich but decided on a full lunch meal which was great and not too expensive. The gift shop and garden centre is great also and well worth a visit.

We go here on a regular basis and enjoy coffee and cake. The plants are reasonably priced and good quality.

All the cakes and desserts are not covered and are exposed to people queuing to be served. The pies and quiche are not covered either,all looking very dried up.

Lovely garden centre selling things like clothes you might need to wear in garden as well as ornaments, cookware, outdoor furniture and garden type things like plants. It’s been a very long time since I have been and I thought it was really good. We were meeting friends in cafe which was absolutely lovely with fresh cakes and lunches available. Really comfy seating areas in this large cafe which we stayed in for ages, getting several top ups of drinks. Can’t really comment on quality of plants as I got little chance to look. Hopefully next time I’ll get to look and I will definitely return.

Went in with my grandchildren Asked for children’s hot chocolate Dismissed with ‘we don’t do children’s it’s all one size ‘ Had to ask if they could make slightly cooler ones for the children but I felt like it was really inconvenience Not at all friendly in the cafe

I booked a table in advance for my friend and I. Booking stated to arrive 5 minutes early which we did. We were the only people waiting but were left standing there for the 5 minutes and just ignored. When a lady finally came over to book us in she wandered off looking for a pen! Finally we sat down and placed our order, which has to be paid for in advance. I asked if we could just order food and order a coffee after the meal but was told this was not possible, we had to order everything in advance. So we paid and then waited, and waited, and waited. No staff came near us and it took ages to actually get somebody's attention to query where our order was. 10 minutes later (we had been there an hour at this point) a lady asked what our drinks order was. Then we had a further wait for our food. It turns out that our order had gone astray but no apologies were made. If we hadn't already paid we would have just walked out. The food is well overpriced and I didn't enjoy mine, maybe due to the stress of getting it. We were offered cake to compensate, which we didn't really want, and persuaded the lady to give us a cold drink to take away instead. Will definitely not go back there again, as a friend and I had a bad experience there previously in September, but I thought I would give them a second chance. Regretted this since.

Since it has been done up the cafe food is bland and way to expensive. Been going for more than 20 years and the food was always great not sure what has happened. The management obviously don’t care about these comments because there are as many negative as positive reviews. Things like queuing simply for a drink have not been addressed. Sadly won’t be eating there anymore. Very disappointed at the management being so apathetic to their customers

My partner and I enjoy a trip out to garden centres and often visit their cafes while there. We have visited here a couple of times over the past year and have commented each time that we feel unwelcome. Staff seem to only ask ‘young’ customers to grab baskets, have explained to use twice during the pandemic why we need one, which we understand but he made a specific point of telling us not to leave it anywhere both times. These comments were not made to other visitors. Visits the the cafe, upon arrival we have waited where asked to be seated. Two members of staff completely ignore our presence and continue their conversation. Eventually, when one left the service area I asked another if we were in the correct place as we had been stood there quite a while, she said yes and to stay there because she didn’t know what to do with new customers arriving. Another lady came as we turned to leave and asked us to take a seat, which we this point we had already had enough and turned to walk away. Loud and clear, she calls over “right fair enough.” I wrote this review as I feel this is the kind of treatment we have received on various occasions and will no longer return to the garden centre.

Fabulous service and food, tuna sandwich with chips and the homemade soup, service was quick and the “new normal “ is handled very well

3 visitas previas para intentar tomar un café - cerrado para hacer balance: larga cola esperando para sentarse, así que se rindió y finalmente entró yippeeee. y luego 20 minutos después de realizar el pedido para tomar café.La visita de ayer tuvimos una corta espera para que nos sentaran, no había mucha gente cenando.Razón:Luego, los clientes tienen que usar su teléfono inteligente para nuestro código QR, luego desplazarse por el menú y pedir elementos por separado en su teléfono, lo cual está bien para una o dos personas, pero este sistema es solo OTT. Nos dimos por vencidos y salimos.Nos gusta Ladygreen y nos preocupa que, dado que la mayoría de sus clientes tienen más de 65 años, no lo aceptarán y causarán un daño duradero al negocio.El sistema de recompensas para café gratis parece que ya no se acepta a pesar de que pagamos por adelantado por el privilegio. No es el dinero, pero no la comunicación. simplemente deje que sus clientes tengan algo de claridad y tómese diez minutos para dar un paseo por la carretera a Dobbies y ver qué tan bien lo tienen organizado.

Muy, muy seguro para Covid (excepto, por supuesto, ese puñado de estúpidos clientes egoístas que ponen a todos en riesgo) con un personal realmente bueno para apoyar a aquellos que luchan con la tecnología. Pero no dejes que eso te distraiga de la excelente comida: almuerzo para dos para menores de 20 y un plato enorme (tenía el rollo de salchicha casero, muy recomendable), realmente bueno.

No me puedo quejar de las precauciones de COVID que tienen. Nos llevaron a una mesa y se nos explicó que teníamos que iniciar sesión en el WiFi y luego colocar la cámara del teléfono sobre el código de barras para llevarnos a la página de pedidos, que era lo suficientemente fácil de usar si tiene una mentalidad técnica. Si no, el personal tomará su pedido. Las bebidas llegaron después de casi 10 minutos (solo pedí una botella de coca cola y agua con gas). La comida venía sopa de champiñones, sándwich de atún y una hamburguesa con patatas fritas. La sopa estaba tibia, así que la devolví. Sin embargo, el pan del sándwich se sentía rancio y la hamburguesa se quemó al igual que el pan de hamburguesa, pero después de devolver la sopa, sentimos que no podíamos quejarnos. Por el precio que cobran, no volveríamos a toda prisa, ya que nadie vino a comprobarlo a pesar de que ya habíamos enviado un plato. Más de 30 . Podría haber ido a un buen restaurante por no mucho más.

The Butcher’s block is to die for! Particularly thorough COVID precautions with a separate table for food drop off next to each table.

visited on Sunday, had Coffee and Cake in the restaurant. Felt very safe.. order by Phone, food delivered to separate table.. great service. well thought out, well done to all involved.

Llamada para el almuerzo tardío, la camarera no pudo explicar qué era el quiche, fue a buscarlo a la cocina y todavía no sabía si contenía cebolla.Pescado, patatas fritas y guisantes ordenados.Cuando llegó, el pescado estaba recién cocinado y caliente, pero los guisantes y las patatas fritas gourmet estaban fríos. La comida regresó y reapareció con guisantes todavía fríos y ahora con chips recalentados.Valor terrible por 10. 95

Terrible customer service’, made to feel unwelcome. They’ve clearly placed the most Bolshie, irritating staff member on door duty- probably to get her out of every else’s way. I wont be going back to this unfriendly, unwelcoming, overpriced place again.

Una cálida bienvenida y llevada a una mesa. Muy buena organización re covid pero ahí se acabó. Nadie vino a tomar nuestro pedido, aunque el café estaba excepcionalmente tranquilo. ¡Nos sentamos, esperamos y luego nos fuimos junto con otros que habían abandonado la lucha!

Covid safe cafe muy bien administrado, si puede usar un teléfono inteligente. ¡El rollo de salchicha gigante fue una delicia! Lo sentí por las personas mayores que no eran tan buenas con sus iPhones. . . . ¿Existe una forma alternativa para que la gente pida y pague la comida?

I took my friend here today for her birthday treat. I telephoned to book yesterday. When we arrived we were greeted by a friendly young lady and shown to our table which was set ready for us. We were asked what drinks we would like and then our beautifully presented tea was brought out. What a feast! There were sandwiches, quiche scrumptious scones with cream and jam and and array of beautiful cakes. The staff were all lovely. It was such a happy afternoon. Well done everyone.

Lovely little garden centre to wander around - but the cafe is a bit of a shambles. There is no discernible menu - just randomly placed chalk boards with the odd hint of what might be available. The customer is left to fathom out that you have to go and choose a table, leave your belongings, then join the long, slow queue (after peering through said queue to try and work out what food actually is on offer). Service is definitely without a smile. Food is disappointing when it finally arrives. On the plus side - there are plenty of tables, and the food is home made - but it is all pretty soul-less. The garden centre is worth a visit, but go elsewhere for your lunch !

Visited with mum and sister yesterday for a late lunch. Was delighted to see some lovely healthy options on the menu, as well as some very tempting huge portions of delicious cake!I chose the chickpea burger with bbq jackfruit accompanied by delicious crispy sweet potato fries in a very cute little basket.Mum and sister had the butternut squash soup which came with little portions of sprinkles, croutons, crispy onions and sea weed style greens. Lovely and imaginative.Food was served very promptly by friendly staff and was enjoyed by all.

I ordered fish and chips,when it finally arrived the portions was very small, about 8 soggy chips and warm fish, this cost just under £10.

Muy pobre: el personal del restaurante no escucha a los clientes, no parece particularmente molesto en crear colas innecesariamente para pedir comida, en gran parte por su propia incompetencia. Farcical que se preguntará en el número de caja hasta el número de la tabla: este requisito debe marcarse por adelantado. No es aceptable esperar 40 minutos entre el pedido y las comidas que se sirven en un día relativamente tranquilo, y hacía frío cuando se sirve. Menús de pizarra ilegibles. Comida de calidad mediocre. Este establecimiento se ha deteriorado durante el último año más o menos. No volvería a visitar de nuevo.

Very slow service. Staff in no rush to serve you. They look like they need training to do the job properly. Chocolate malteser cake was soggy. Coffee not hot enough. I don’t understand its popularity as it’s not cheap

brilliant food, and staff, its a lovely afternoon out, the shop and the garden center is worth a visit.

Super day out and good bargains too. This is a large facility with a great range of products well displayed.

Called at lady green nurseries for some plants went straight into cafe..what a pleasant surprise..VERY CLEAN lots of happy eating customers

Recently visited this cafe and was amazed how nice the place really is. The staff are excellent and the food varied, tasty and reasonable priced. A real shock as I thought it was just a basic cafe. Highly recommend and will go back soon.

My wife loves this place and i'm convinced it's pretty good all round - good garden displays obviously but inside is a fabulous coffee shop a and restaurant doing excellent meals - ideal when Mrs M decides to do a bit of shopping and i can relax.

Very disappointed meal had to be sent back as was cold on being retuned was not much better had obviously been what would have appeared to be a cold plate. Coffee was very good also staff very helpful and polite when apologising for food. Very clean

Really nice selection of savoury and sweet. Delicious homemade scones. Breakfasts good value. Visit about once a week.

I visit this garden centre regularly. The coffee shop is well stocked with a good choice of meals, refreshments, and the staff are very friendly and go out their way to help. Likewise the garden centre part, lovely choice of everything, staff extremely knowledgeable and helpful, hence the many visits. I keep going back!

I come to Lady Green often, usually with my mum and auntie. We like to have a good look around the garden centre and shop and then stop off for lunch or cake and coffee. Its a very clean restaurant and the service is prompt. It can be a little pricey but it is nice for a treat and the food is always top quality. It has a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere and the staff are pleasant.

Nice cafe in garden centre good atmosphere and service I opted for a green tea with a slice of homemade fruit cake drlucious

I come to lady green garden centre for lunch and coffee on a regular basis to meet friends as we all live about 5 minutes drive away.It is a beautiful garden centre set in lovely landscaped grounds with a good selection of plants lovely to walk around on a nice day.The food is very good with a good selection of hot and.cold dishes and lots of very yummy cake's .The restaurant is very nicely decorated and their is a large outside area to eat on a summers day. I find all the staff at the garden centre very helpful and friendly and their is plenty of things to look at even if u are not interested in gardening

Very disappointing lunch, ordered the chicken noodle stir fry but was told they had run out, this was at 12:30! Then ordered the Tuna Quinoa Salad but the vegetables in it were frozen, didn’t expect a salad to be frozen.

Called in late on a saturday afternoon. Limited number of cakes scones etc. Unclear if supposed to help yourself or not. No staff to ask and no plates. Got to till decided to order cream tea told to go back and select a scone. Told staff no.plates advised none available and offered a saucer.

Meal was vfm and served at our table in good time. I had a delicious Latte and my wife an impressive espresso. The restaurant was clean, warm and cosy, with plenty of tables to choose from. The toilets were of a high standard, more hygienic than those in some hotels I have stayed in. Staff friendly and patient when taking orders. This will be a feeding stop when visiting Southport in the future.

Newly refurbished! Nice, service not! Had to wait in a que for ages ( Twice)! Way , way , overpriced! Obviously paying for the decor. Won’t be going again anytime soon!!!

Working in the catering service myself I am very forgiving of less than perfect service as I know how tiring and often thankless customer service can be, but the staff I came across here were shocking. They seemed more concerned about cleaning down the coffee machine than serving the customers in front of them and were very rude when taking payment. I opted for three of the mini cakes with a cup of tea, (the cakes were self service). I had to remind the lady taking payment that she hadn’t yet given me my tea, and when I did receive it, the (small) teapot was half full. To top it off, two of the three cakes I had were stale. I didn’t feel there was any point in mentioning this to the staff as I doubt they would have cared.

Went to lady green today with grandson daughter and my husband plan was nice lunch then a look around ,when we got in the restaurant we were happy to see plenty of free tables so wrongly thought we’d be served quickly only took about 5 mins at the counter to give our order got our drinks sat down and waited and waited for the food it was 40 mins before it arrived young lady was very polite but no apology for the very long wait ,not acceptable , the wait or lack of apology the food was ok but as we all only had sandwiches couldn’t understand the waiting time ,then we did our walk around and thought apart from the shop being well stocked the outside looked like it was about to close down .Not the place it used to be we won’t be back

Haven't been to Lady Green for food in a very long time and won't be going again! You can't see the menu until its your turn to be served and then the lady serving seemed impatient while choosing. Sat at table 16!! There where cobwebs above the back of the bench seat and the display unit on the other side of the wall was covered in large cobwebs. Not the way to start looking forward to a meal. Chips were very greasy and basically inedible. Baguette was very dry and meringue of the lemon meringue pie was not cooked properly and no taste of lemon at all. Again inedible.

I love the food at Lady Green however! The staff always seem subdued miserable or lack any kind of friendliness. There’s no service. You do everything yourself yet there seems oodles of staff just ambling around doing anything but customer care.

My wife and I had not been in the restaurant for some time, but last week decided to call in and have a bite to eat. We got into the queue, which was rammed, picked up a small bottle of wine and tried to order some food, it was only then we realised you had to have a table number first ! how do you get this when you are on your own or there is two of you wanting to choose your food ? we were told there was a wait on the food so we left.

Just received the most awful service in the shop when going to pay. Supervisor very abrupt and rude. The member of staff was excellent.

This used to be a lovely place for lunch and it is still a nice area to sit outside. Unfortunately, all the food is now uncovered with people coughing and sneezing over the scones and cakes. Loads of flies being sick on the quiches and other displayed food. The staff seem unbothered by this, just flicking them away when they take them away for the customers who enjoy this sort of added ingredient!

Visited the Lady Green garden centre today for the first time and decide to have a coffee.When we got to the Restaurant we got a table but there were no menus out.I asked one of the staff and she said the menus were on the wall,we thought this a bit stupid as yes they were on the wall behind the counter.I could not see them properly also there were people in my way,why cant the menus be on the tables.So because i couldent see the menu properly,my husband and i decided to have a cake.The cakes,quiches pies were all on the glass shelf,the flies were having a great time landing on them,this made me feel sick.A customer told a member of staff,to be told they are not aloud to cover the cakes up,so i will not be returning to the restaurant again.Whats the problem with putting doors on the glass counter,i understand this weather you get flies,but looks bad when you have people wanting cake to have to share them with flies.

A very nice recently refurbished cafe with a friendly team. Great for a breakfast and coffee. Very tasty. Just off the main road to Southport. An excellent garden centre as well with so much choice.

We have been to this garden centre and spent a lot of money there over the years as we have now moved out of the area we have not been for a while, as today was a lovely day we traveled from Leyland to have lunch out the food used to be really good was I disappointed today it's really changed the menue is not as good we had the omelette with salad and sweet potato fries, no taste in the chips the omelette was over cooked I don't like cabbage slaw the coleslaw they used to have was lovely, We didn't eat it all as the portion was to big we could have shared one had we have known, for 2 omelettes 2 small coffee's and 1 custard tart it was £24.00 really expensive I thought for what we had and didn't finish, O well you live & learn, we will not bother going again, what a shame.

This garden centre is great for all garden plants. I light the restaurant they make the best toastie and salad in gluten free. Gifts ideas and household items are brilliant.

Generally the food at this restaurant is reasonable if expensive but today it was poor bordering on terrible. I had a a bowl of leek and potato soup with a roll. I thought it looked a little odd when it came out dark brown but it tasted terrible. I thought I had been given the wrong soup and asked one of the staff to check. I was told it was leek and potato as the mushroom was grey! The soup tasted as if the ingredients had been burned and covered up with some sort of stock cube and pepper.I don't really like complaining especially on a packed bank holiday weekend so I thought an honest review would be better. Quite frankly Lady Green you need to better - It has left me feeling a little sick and quite annoyed.

A large cafe area with very pleasant decor. Food is well presented and tasty, though quite expensive. This garden centre is moving further away from selling plants and becoming more a gift, furniture and crafts supermarket with cafe.

We consider that Lady Green. Is one of the most relaxing of the local garden centres. With many architectural features, a small lake and meandering pathways through the various displays, this makes for a delightful visit.

Took a friend for lunch, we both had the omlett, plenty of it and very tasty. The sweet potato chips delicious. Staff very friendly.

My favourite garden centre. Nice place to visit and cafe very comfortable and attractive. Staff some friendly some not so. Food we had was very good two breakfast brunch baguettes and a sweet chilli wrap. All came with salad and coleslaw. Relish with baguettes. I have a pet hate eating off what looks like a roofing slate. Just me I suppose but why can't restaurants stop trying to be trendy and put the food on a blinking plate! I noticed that some of the food was on little bread boards. So nice food but give it a miss and just have cake on a plate next time. End on a high note the plants I bought were great. Two planted spring tubs for £20.

what we experience was the staff attitude towards customers. it was diabolicle not smiling looking as though they did not want to be there.some of the food was uneatable and i was charged for two soups instead of one. i think that they should have a good look at the whole staff system. hope this review will do something about it.

We went there earlier today with my Nan for an early Mother's Day treat. Coffees and teas were very nice but the food and cakes was quite overpriced for a small quantity.

Very large spacious cafe in a garden centre which also sells a wide range of gifts and craft goods so has something for everyone. We opted for the soup and sandwich option and both were excellent, tasty soup and a substantial sandwich made with their home cooked ham.

Currently serving a festive Afternoon tea which my friend and I sampled today. Nicely presented, it consisted of 4 triangle sandwiches in 2 flavours, a mince pie, a small scone with jam and cream, a star shaped biscuit and a very small vanilla cupcake. Served with tea or coffee. It was not the best afternoon tea I've ever had. The star biscuit was a little stale and tasteless. The mini cupcake had a blob of cream on top of an otherwise plain cake. This would have been better with lemon icing or similar. It was all a bit "samey". Think you could do better!

Excellent garden centre , well stocked with gifts and plants . Very nice gent looking after the plants , eager to help and advise. Great place for xmas shopping ,well worth a visit or two . Nice restaurant/ cafe to

You know when you want somewhere to go for a quick lunch/meal, well this is your place. Lovely surroundings both in the restaurant and outside in the garden centre, nice and clean with pretty good service.

Haven't been to Ladygreen for some time but arranged to meet a friend for lunch. I was amazed how large the cafe now is and so clean and tidy. The food displayed is also very good. I had soup and a roll which was served extremely quickly and later I had a cream scone(which was enormous)very delicious. Overall I was very pleased with the ambience and the service I received.

Stopped in here on the way to see family. Looked very welcoming & there was a huge selection of cakes on offer. Opted for a leek & potato soup, 2 bacon bloomer sandwiches-one toasted- and a 3 little pigs baguette.

We have been to the Topiary Restaurant at the Lady Green garden Centre on a number of occasions and have always been very satisfied with the food and the service. However, we went on the August Bank Holiday Monday and were extremely disappointed. The staff were obviously ill-prepared to cope with the expected rush. We were told, reasonably enough, as we were in the queue at the counter, that there would be a half-hour wait for the food to be served. However, after we had sat down, we noticed that one of the counter staff seemed to be employed as a troubleshooter, moving from table to trying to resolve the countless problems which had arisen. She came to our table and told one of our party that the mushroom soup she had ordered had run out, and would she like to select an alternative. The only acceptable vegetarian option was the cheese toastie, which was more expensive. She was made to pay the difference. This strikes me as extremely bad form. If you are told, after waiting nearly half an hour, that the meal you ordered was unavailable, the least they could have done was to offer an alternative for the same price.

Quite tasty and well prepared but i do object to paying 2.70 for such a small amount of chips. Otherwise the prices werent too bad and the service excellent.

I go here regularly as I live locally and I have found service in the restaurant varies.

Although the establishment looks the part and quite inviting, I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the food and length of waiting time at the till.

This was my 4th visit within a month and each time my experiences have been different.

Went to Lady green today looking for ideas and inspiration for our garden makeover scheduled for later this year.

Since first visiting Lady Green many, many years ago, it has always held a special place in my heart - by far my favourite garden centre. However, in recent times, I have returned less and less, as it has simply lost its 'olde worlde' charm. The original family-run business provided a unique venue in which to wander around, taking in the delights of the shop and gardens themselves as well as providing a warm and welcoming place to stop for a bite to eat. Now it feels exactly what it is - part of a large chain.

We have not been for a long time we decided to go this time. We were pleasantly surprised they had updated the cafe the ambience was excellent and clean the food was good prices were within one,s budget. will certainly go again.

Haven't been for years but decided to go with my friend for cake and a cuppa. The shop that you walk through before reaching the cafe is gorgeous. Lovely things to browse - could spend a fortune! Very impressed with the cafe though. It's changed so much. It's spacious and very clean and modern. Loads of seating indoors and outside. Staff very polite and friendly. We decided on carrot cake and victoria sponge and 2 teas. Nice that it was in individual pots. Delicious cakes and very good prices. Total came to less than £10. Went for a wander round the garden centre. It's so pretty and loads of plants and pots to buy. In the end we spent around 2 very enjoyable hours here. Will be back!

Since the restaurant has been revamped its lovely and more seating. But could it be that it just seems like there are more seats because it's not as busy?? The food is more fussy and over complicated I mean what ever happened to the usual tuna toastie. They also don't have means of warming children's bottles or food. The staff always seem to pull a face when I have asked for water to heat a jar. The response is that they can't give me boiling water.... Well isn't that exactly what they give me for my tea only it's got a bag in It?? Stupid policy. But they can heat it up behind the counter but they never cover it and it never gets very warm. If you have kids go to Dobbies where they provide bowls plates spoons crayons paper and on top of all that a microwave.... dunno why lady green couldn't provide something similar not like they don't have the room now.

We have been coming to this garden centre and restaurant for years, Unfortunately, since the restaurant has been refurbished, the standard of food has gone down and prices up.. We always used to visit for afternoon cream tier, which used to come on a three tiered plate stand, with Victoria sponge, a selection of triangular sandwiches, and cream scone.It was always enough for two people to share. Now the price has gone up, the scone is tiny, the cake selection is no better than buying Mr Kiplings cakes from the supermarket and the sandwiches are chopped not cut in triangles and are hard as rock. The three tier plate stand is replacd by a slate and by the time the food arrives, the tea that comes with it has gone cold. Very disappointing.

This cafe has had a very good modernisation and now has a fresh, contemporary look. It is much more comfortable and far better to spend a while in. Food is good but perhaps a little expensive.4 stars for decor.

Always like coming to the garden centre and the restuarant/cafe is very popular and one that I have visited over the years. It has been taken over in last few years and has been expanded. We had a very nice sandwich, soft drink and small cake, which was very nicely presented. My only gripe is that the prices are quite high and my husband and I could have had a main meal and drink elsewhere much cheaper. Still it is a popular place and if you are looking for plants or a gift then I am sure you will find what you are looking for.

Visiting Ince Blundell, we discovered this venue nearby and returned the next day en route home. Good facilities in pleasant surroundings. Popular at lunch times so be prepared to queue. Sandwiches were very good and they catered for Gluten Free meals.

Visited today for afternoon tea.. have visited garden centre a lot but never the cafe.. was so disappointed.

Before re-modelling this was an excellent place but new decor and new staff have ruined it. Food has gone down in quality but up in price and staff are, at best, apathetic and uniterested.

I always came here each weekend for our afternoon tea before they changed it totally and now its far too bust with standing and waiting for a good 20 mins before you get served. I think they have kept the staff the same and havent employed anymore and they are pushing too many people in but not enough staff. I much prefered the older way tehre wasnt half the wait for your tea or food that there is now. Everything seems far over priced that it use to be too so i wont be returning as often to the cafe part and the staff just look so stressed rushing around after customers.

Had an pleasant Afternoon Tea with my partner at Lady Green today. Coffee. Four assorted sandwiches and bite sized cakes and a scone for just under £10. Not bad at all!

Called in for a coffee on our way to Southport and found Lady Green a very welcoming place.The restaurant was very bright and clean and although we only had coffee the breakfasts being served looked very appertising.As soon as someone left a table a waitress came and cleaned it which i take as a good sign .

Had an excellent afternoon tea today. Tea or coffee. 4 assorted sandwiches 4 cakes and a scone. £9. 95. All were fresh.

We Decided to stop for Lunch at Lady Green it is some time since we had been in the area and thought it would be a pleasant stop, it has been in the past. But not now, the food was over priced poorly cooked and of mediocre quality, we ate without enjoyment and drank just warm tea then left. On arriving home and checking receipts for the day we discovered we had been over charged, 3 teas had been added to our bill instead of the 2 we had on the tray. A phone call to the assistant manager was a waste of time, he didn't seem to have any authority to deal with the situation and suggested I call the manager. The manager was defensive to the point of rudness and too stressed because "it is mothers day tomorrow" to even listen. Two emails to customer care have so far been ignored, my bank has advised Trading Standards, I just think what a poor un-professional team they have at Lady Green, they do not represent the catering and hospitality trade in any good way.

My youngest Sister had organised a Mother's Day afternoon tea for my lovely Mum at the Lady Green garden centre. We had booked in advance so didn't expect any issues on the day. We arrived on time to a table which wasn't yet prepared. Once seated, we were assured our afternoon tea would be out very soon. We were given pots of tea soon after arrival, however we waited and waited for our food. The staff assured us it was being prepared and would be out soon. We decided to leave after waiting an hour and ten minutes. After speaking to the manager, all she could say was 'we are very busy today'. No apologies made. The service was totally unacceptable and unprofessional. Especially as customers served at the till were served afternoon tea immediately after ordering. Completely ruined my Mother's Day. We certainly will not be returning.
