Went here today with a friend ,what a gem this place is,it was simply wonderful.its definitely a must to go.famiky run business.

My wife and I had a great coffee and a slice of lemon cake. Very nice it was to. Very clean and tidy with real table cloths a real oldi world Coffee shop. Pity it was raining so didn't really have a good look around all the plants that are available.

The best garden centre for plant that will thrive. Chelly, makes the best tea and cake around, you are the best babe. X

My favourite place. Huge selection of healthy plants and garden fixtures. Amazing staff who are knowledgeable and friendly. The tea room is fantastic, with gorgeous cake and the best coffee around. Highly recommended.

some very nice plants and at a resonable price. some of the staff are nice and will speak. but as we found out not in the cafe or gift shop. its only 1 person in cafe at a time, there's nothing to tell you this though so you get shouted at by stroppy staff. and you can't eat indoors. luckily there is a nice set up outside.

Lovely little garden centre with lots and *lots* of different kinds of plants and all sorts of garden decor items that you won't find in the chain stores. The staff are friendly and they do a great afternoon tea when the restaurant is open. Parking is easy and it's just off a main road so getting there is easy too.

Very nice small cafe type restaurant with tables inside or out, good service and reasonable prices . Their cakes are delicious and the gift shop next door is worth a visit

Cosy, friendly, good coffee and cake - and a great garden centre too! Covid - aware seating both indoors and out, this is a very pleasant place to meet and mooch.

A phone call to book an appointment and a safe distanced visit to this wonderful garden centre. Beautiful plants and plenty of them at very competitive prices. Only a handful of customers on site at any time.

Fantastic family run nursery. All you need plant-wise for your garden. Prices are good but the best thing is the service and product knowledge from the owner - outstanding. Her daughter that is usually in the coffee shop is lovely. I love visiting Lakers. You cannot compare it to a large commercial garden centre.

Popped in with my daughter mid-Walk; cakes delicious and service very good. Lovely place to while away an hour on a dry Sunday morning.

I didn't look round the garden centre but the tea room with its china tea sets and delicious cakes are worth a visit.

A lovely garden centre with a family feel and fantastic selection all-year. Also has a coffee shop...which is worth a visit even if you don't need any plants or garden materials! Prices are superb. Our default garden centre of choice now.

This is a great cafe with selection of cakes and gifts to purchase and we usually visit when at the garden center. It is well worth a visit

I found this time warp of a garden centre in The village of Winslow near the the railway station being built. Plenty of parking ,a delightful cafe with a door leading to a small yard with chairs and tables.The daughter who runs the cafe even gives you a cushion for the chair.only cakes and drink are sold.There is a very good gift shop. Very good value prices for plants ,heathy looking plants. Very peaceful place no rush .you won't want to leave once you are there.The owner will chat and tell you anything about her plants .do visit Lakers it is so worth a visit

What can i say that hasn't already been said. Fantastic little family run place that makes you feel oh so welcome the moment you get there. Very reasonable priced plants and garden ornaments. The Tea Shop is just devine...

What a little gem, delightful tea rooms with a lovely selection of delicious cakes all very reasonably priced. A great little cafe with shop selling various gifts alongside a nursery with good priced healthyplants, trees and shrubs. All this with friendly folk and good service makes it a lovely place to visit we will return!

Almost like visiting a friend with a big garden who just happens to propagate and grow their own plants. Nice little cafe selling very good coffee. A very peaceful place, but sure how the new development for Winslow station will affect their tranquility.

A tasty, well priced cup of tea and delicious piece of cake from a good selection in a pretty setting and a lovely nursery well stocked with healthy plants and a good few bargains. Helpful owner with a cheerful smile.

Great Garden Centre, with a marvelous selection of well-priced plants and shrubs. Staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The Cafe with its home made cakes etc. was a true delight.

Family run friendly knowledgeable garden centre. Super tea room with excellent home made cakes. Will call again when we are next in the Uk

Apart from some wonderful plants and garden ornaments their home made cakes are worth a visit alone plus a good stock of teas. The staff are very polite nothing is to much trouble.

went there for bags of compost for my hanging baskets and to check out geranium plants

Drinks, cakes, service and prices are all great and all set in a lovely, quiet corner of the garden centre.

Great tea room with old world charm lots of goodies to buy for presents. Good selection of plants. run by a mother and daughter both friendly and helpful.

Lovely garden centre really relaxing . Met some friends and had drinks and a slice of cake. Very reasonably priced. Cake £2 and tea £1. Assistant helpful and friendly.

Me visita regularmente y siempre final Lakers comprando algo! Hay una selección enorme de todo, desde plantas para tarjetas y regalos. Yo y mi madre tanto amor. También nos encanta el salón de té. Es como shabby chic que puedes conseguir y es aún más hermosa cuando está soleado. Shellie siempre nos sirve con una sonrisa y intentamos ir al menos una vez a la semana - eso es lo bueno que es!

No es un gran lujo jardín con todas las comodidades y lujos, pero un sólido vivero local, con una buena selección de plantas y algunos ornamentos de jardín muy interesantes que van desde el elegante a la salida y peculiar. También el personal de lo más servicial tomarse algún tiempo para explicar los productos y ayudarle a encontrar lo que quieres.

He hablado aquí unas cuantas veces mientras que en bicicleta. Excelente servicio de café y tarta son excelentes también. Un precio razonable para la alta calidad. Es utilizado por muchos ciclistas, así que tienes que estar preparado para esperar un poco para que sirve durante la hora punta, pero el nivel de servicio sigue siendo genial para una mujer por su propia cuenta.

A group of senior bikers stopped off here for a coffee break,The garden centre is good size with a small cafe serving hot drinks & cakes etc.It's to be found Just past Winslow on the A413 towards Buckingham.We sat outside as the sun was shining and the staff provided cushions for the metal chairs-nice thought.A good service ,well done.

I recently reserved a table for afternoon tea, as a surprise treat for a friend celebrating a special birthday. After a couple of phone conversations making sure everything would be as I'd hoped, nothing could have prepared us for the wonderful surprise as we approached our table. Set with pretty cloth & linen, the table was beautifully set with a plentiful selection of delicious home made cakes and scones, a good selection of finger sandwiches, crisps and a few special extras. Wow! Both my friend and I felt quite overwhelmed! Thank you Jane and Shelley for your helpfulness, care to detail, and for blessing us with a most memorable time! And if you haven't time for a cuppa, the shop is excellent too!

Lovely little garden centre with the personal touch> Good healthy plants in pleasant surrounds Help and advice readily available from the very affable owner.

This is about the cafe, not the garden centre proper. As soon as my wife and I took a single step inside the lady running the place barked at us "tea or coffee"? Flummoxed, we chose tea. We looked around and at the menu. We had expected something more than just a cake or two to choose from. "Weak or strong?" She made the tea in mugs. This was odd. Why not a pot? All of the tables had tea trays decked out with cups and saucers, and teapots. She put the mugs on the counter next to a tray which I assumed I should use. "Don't take the tray." She told me the price and I handed her my credit card. "Cash only," she asserted as she pointed to the door. There was no sign. The tea was mediocre. As we drank, I looked up the distance to Heathrow Airport (our destination) and the terminal for our flight.I was speaking softly. The lady - standing a good 20ft away - interjected. "Terminal 3." I had noticed her using her phone. May be she was trying to be helpful but it was unsettling. We finished our drinks and went into the garden centre itself that, strangely, accepted credit cards. Given how out of the way this place is, I'd say find somewhere else unless you happen to want to go to the garden centre part.

A lovely place to go to for an afternoon cuppa and slice of cake. Family run business which works along side a garden centre/nursery. Lovely unusual items for your garden and a great selection of plants.

A lovely little treasure of a place. Worth a visit on a quiet sunny afternoon. English tea sets, coffee cake, plants and Nik naks

If you're looking for a full menu restaurant keep on going but if you're looking for a lovely cuppa, china cups and saucers, home made cake then you've just found it.Attached to a family nursery this is a little bit of heaven in Winslow. Well worth dropping in for a look at the plants and a well deserved drink.My only criticism has to be they don't charge enough for what they offer. If you think so to follow our solution and tip well.

Whilst cycling from Bristol to Milton Keynes this lone traveller arrived on a hot day at Lakers Garden Centre for a much needed cup of tea. This friendly delightful establishment welcomed me and served a splendid tea and cake. I highly recommend a visit, none of your large impersonal chain type garden centre stuff, just a good old fashioned type place. Thank you!

Visited for the third time last month and found the same friendly helpful service with delicious home-made cakes. It is wonderful to be able to sit in such a lovely room and wander round the plants available and the little shop which has some unusual things which would make good presents. All round excellent.

Visited Lakers yesterday with my mum and the friends who introduced us. Its so lovely to visit a garden centre that actually has knowledgeable owners who clearly love their job. The plants were lovely and the tea and cakes were wonderful. We live in Kent so not likely to visit often but we will make sure we come back again around Christmas as it is meant to be delightful! Thank you Jane for such a lovely visit.

This is a regular place for us with and without grandchildren! It is very reasonably priced and always delicious. Shelley is very good with the children

Lovely small garden centre. It's everything that a chain garden centre is not. Great cafe too - simple and personal. Wonderful.

I stopped by this morning to buy a hanging basket and was not disappointed. I have been previously and have always been greeted by the owner, who is always so friendly and helpful. The plants looked so beautiful this morning, so much for bedding and containers, as well as the rest of the garden. I also stayed for a coffee in the very pretty tearoom, adorned with china. The cafe also serves very yummy cakes, but this is the only food. Lovely outside seating area, well worth a visit.

Lovely place for a cuppa, china cups and teapots, gifts galore. Fresh cake which was delicious. This place will become a routine stop whether walking cycling or by car

Excellent nurseries, great selection of plants and not as dear as big name branded garden centre, Jane the owner has done an excellent job in creating a really nice setting from what it used to be into the 21st century.....Christmas trees are a must from here.Any problems or knowledge with plants she's happy to help with a ready smile.

Lovely tea room that offers a good selection of fresh cakes, bone china crockery with a large teapot, very welcoming and friendly service, reasonable prices, nicely set out, would recommend a visit.

Wonderful little tearoom based at Lakers Garden Centre. We were recently introduced to this venue by two friends. The Tearoom is simply a gem. If you enjoy a good cuppa with plenty of scrumptious cakes to choose from this is definitely the place to visit. The service is friendly and attentive. Above all - V.F.M

Lakers is a lovely individual garden centre. The tea room is Laura Ashley in style with real china cups and delicious cakes at very reasonable prices. The plants are healthy and disperse and again well priced. The business is family run and they are very willing and helpful. Top marks for all aspects

I love this little place, the new owners are exceptionally helpful and will do anything to ensure good customer service. Nice range of plants, great pricing although lacking in mod-cons, ie a till that adds up for them! LOL.Simply delightful little tea shop run by a nice young lady.Really do recommend a visit, you won't be disappointed!

Lakers is a small but excellent garden centre for people with a heart who can appreciate what they see. This family-run centre combines good quality plants, helpful advice and welcoming tea and gifts rooms where they go the extra effort to make you feel welcome. Other reviewers, less generous in their comments, obviously don't bother to look beyond the plants. Their loss.

Lakers nursery is a lovely, privately owned garden centre with a good range of plants and flowers, they have a nice gift shop offering really good gift ideas. The owner is really helpful and is happy to offer advice and answer questions.The prices are very reasonable, much more economical than some larger centres.To all cyclists...This is a fantastic place to stop for tea and cake, you get huge pieces of the most amazing home made cake, we can highly recommend the raspberry and white chocolate! We stop off on our rides and inevitably end up going back in the car to buy a nice plant that we saw at the same time.

It's different form lots of café's and the better for it. Lovely cakes, tea/coffee well servedAlso of course a lovely garden centre with loads to see and easy walk around to view.Very friendly genuine people run it. Prices good too. Easy parking.

Its nice to go to an Independent Garden Centre - where the staff are helpful and able to advise you on their plants, there is a nice little tea shop selling lovely cakes, a little gem of a garden centre.

Great little Tea Room, good cuppa and lovely cake served here, and very very reasonable. You get a lovely big Pot of Tea served in great little Bone China Cups and Saucers. Nothing to dislike about this Tea Room, in the Lovey Garden Centre, owns by a local family.

This garden centre has changed greatly with the new owners , they have now have a Tea Room which is great value with excellent tasty cakes .This is now getting well known with the interior done out beautifully and with seating outside in the sunny months .Afterwards have a browse round the garden centre with beautiful healthy plants .Recommend this wonderful run garden/tea centre better than the bigger ones .Give it a try and support local business !!!!

What a pleasant surprise. Friendly staff and wonderful tea room, yummy cakes, plenty of choice of homemade cakes and very reasonable prices. Will definitely be back again for sure.

Visited here 2 weeks ago and was very pleasantly surprised on opening the door to the wooden building and finding a haven of bone china, home made cakes and helpful staff. We sat outside on the patio in the last of the autumn sunshine and didn't want to get back on our bikes to head home. They even had gluten free cakes for one of our number, so all in all a great experience and we will be back. Even better, it was also very reasonably priced.

This has expanded greatly under the new owner , shrubs ,plants are of excellent condition and owner very helpful .Prices are very good

Popped in here for some plants-great value...helpful staff...& had a cuppa & delicious slice of home made cake.Good simple cakes...but yummy...perfect after a nose around the garden centre!

Having stumbled upon this nursery earlier in the year, we have been back many times since. It is a small but great nursery situated on the outskirts of Winslow (Buckingham end). The staff are lovely and friendly and there is a real sense of a real family business. Each visit, we always make time to sit and enjoy afternoon tea in a very pleasant cafe with terrace. The cakes are fabulous (made by a local lady and on the premesis we understand), and the coffee is 'real' - both surprisingly very reasonably priced with a good choice to boot. As well as a great selection of very well cared for plants, there is a shop selling all manner of bits and pieces for garden and home, and the staff couldn't be more helpful. We will definately be back there soon, probably for a bit of Christmas shopping I suspect... and ofcourse to sample some more of the delicious offerings in the café! Highly recommended if you are passing through, or indeed at those times of year when a restock of the garden is in need.

New to the area we stumbled on this place while looking for somewhere locally to buy plants and what a delightful find. The tea room is a real bonus, reasonably priced with a good selection of cakes served with a friendly smile, hence we've been back quite a few times in the last month. The nursery is well stocked at fair prices and unlike the big garden centres the owner is there first hand with help and advice that feels more personal.

Good variety of delicious cakes; freshly made tea and coffee and all this at exceptionally reasonable prices. Enjoyable conversation too. Why not go and see for yourself. Worth a visit! Plants also reasonably priced.

It is a nursery not a garden centre, as such it is very well priced with knowledgable staff. The little tea shop doesn't pretend to be anything else. Everything is fresh and tasty, just what you want. Always a pleasant experience with unfailingly helpful people!

Only tea and cake served. Not good when looking for lunch or at least a snack at 2pm or being shouted at for going the wrong way down the side of the building. Did not stay to sample the tea or cake, or even to see the inside of the café.The garden centre looked well-kept and attractive so maybe the food side was ok.

Called in for a ppt of tea and carrot cake whilst out cycling. Very welcome it was too. Sat in the sun on the little patio area surrounded by lovely plants - what's not to like.I really do not understand why more people do not use this little gem. It's far better than other tea shops in central Winslow.If any cycling clubs want to head to a good value traditional tea shop with excellent value produce, head here. Plenty of room to store your bikes where you can keep an eye on them, and good locally made produce. Go on, give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

This garden centre is a lovely place to shop for plants or stop in for homemade cake and coffee. I've brought several friends here to use the cafe where the cakes are always appreciated. Shelly greats you with a smile and serves out good size chunks of cake and excellent coffee.Jane knows a vast amount about plants and is always happy to give advise. The plants are great quality and sold at very competitive prices. There is enormous varieties and plenty to choose from.I come here frequently because I'm always greater with a warm welcome and it is a lovely place to be.

Pleasant place. Fortunately not like one of those big modern in your face all bells and whistles garden centres. The little cafe is OK too. Nothing fancy but does the usual snack bar/tea shop canon quite well.

Convenient if you shop here or have some general interest in gardening. Pleasant enough but nothing remotely special or out of the ordinary.

The new owners are investing a lot of time & effort into upgrading this charming small plant centre. An independent enterprise , it's individuality is refreshing . Staff very helpful , will order plants in for you if not stocked. Worth a visit.

Out of the centre of Winslow. Predictable garden centre cafe. Usual range of tea coffee cake etc in clean tidy pleasant surroundings. Nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing to bring you here unless you need plants, garden equipment or sundry household nick nacks.

Visited on sat, what a lovely set up, gift shop, and not forgetting the tea room how lovely was that, the tea pots and cup and saucers were brill and the young girl serving us was lovely.it was lovely snd clean.This garden centre i understand has new owners, well done if this is what its like now, then think what can be done in the future

Have used this lIttle coffee shop in the grounds of Lakers Garden Centre a number of times, it has a very pleasant Patio area outside.Excellent selection of fresh home made Cakes and with Cappuccino at £1.50 great value (cheapest I have found locally).Very attentive and enthusiastic staff, a real little gem.
