Malmesbuy Garden Centre & Cafe in Wiltshire

Have been using the cafe for quite a while, usually good standard. Today however, was poor, prices have increased, but standards have dropped, poorly cooked food. Over cooked chips, black bacon from dirty griddle, cold scrambled egg and mushrooms. Shame as staff are friendly.

Due to recent staff changes and price hikes this is no longer my eatery of choice. The friendly atmosphere is gone. There used to be an excellent rapport between staff and customers. That disappeared when Mary, Marilyn and Rose left.

Arrived at 2.15pm for lunch with 4 year old to be told they stop serving lunch at 2.30 (fine by us as we were there well before) and when placed order they refused to do it as it was for a kids chicken nuggets. Asked if they had any cold kids options and was told no. Child left in tears.

A coach of 45 WI members stopped here on our way to Highgrove for refreshments and we are so glad we did. The service was excellent (extra staff to meet our needs), the refreshments varied and well cooked and and plenty of room to sit down. In all, it was a very enjoyable experience. Highly recommended

We have been visiting this cafe since before lockdown and have always been very happy with the various meals, snacks and drinks that we've had there. Meals are freshly prepared and nicely served in a clean and pleasant environment. The staff are friendly and professional and are always ready to help. Very good value for money. Well worth a visit.

We regularly visit for garden items, plants and food. We have always been very happy with the assistance, courtesy and value for money. Pat & Dave Harvey.

We had a lovely full “garden” breakfast. Everything was piping hot. Marilyn ( I think ) brought us our breakfast and helped move another table so we had more room for the three of us ! The breakfast was a traditional, well cooked big plate of full English ( there is a larger version too - but this one was more than enough! ) Rose ( the other lady -unless I’ve got their names the wrong way round) and Matthew ( the cook) also deserve an honourable mention. Thanks for a lovely breakfast for me, my daughter and niece before we drive on south.

This is very local to me and i love wandering around, looking for inspiration to enhance my garden & courtyard. Also great for toms, peppers & herbs! Just a lovely environment to be in! As a PS... they have the most unique and wonderful cards/presents!

If you just need good , home made basic food at a reasonable price with friendly staff, this is the perfect place to go.

The cafe serves good homemade food at a reasonable price. Quite a good selection in the garden centre.

Decided to have lunch as we were in the garden centre, good value, ample portions, rhubarb crumble was excellent with plenty of rhubarb. As previous reviewer has mentioned there is a question mark over hygienic standards as garden centre staff were in and out of the kitchen whilst we were there. But I must say the meal was good value and hot and enjoyable.

Called here on the way to visit a friend nearby. We bought 2 chocolate large rice crispy cakes. They were really good and I noticed a really good old fashioned on display menu there which certainly appeals! .If I lived locally would visit often!

Extremely upset to see garden centre staff come in and go into the kitchen cant understand why this is allowed when food is being prepared

Good value, standard cheap and cheerful breakfast , good sausages Place in dire need of a refurbishment

The café is very convenient when visiting the garden centre for that boost to your caffeine and protein input. Staff are friendly and helpful in both the garden centre and café.

It might not at first glance look like a great cafe / restaurant, but don't let that put you off. The breakfasts (served all day) are amazing and good value too.

Stopped here on Sunday lunchtime to break our journey for a pot of tea etcPot of tea between us, good strong tea & plenty of hot waterGood value at £2.50My wife had a toasty, brie & bacon & I had bacon sandwich on wholemeal breadBoth freshy made & enjoyableServed its purposeCafe a bit dated !!

Like all of the staff in this Garden Centre the staff in the Cafe are friendly and helpful. The food is fine - nothing amazing but it does the trick. The decor in the cafe is spartan but serviceable. Overall I would say that if you are in the garden centre and were hungry or wanted a cup of coffee then you couldn't go far wrong by going in but there are better places nearby (e.g. Malmesbury High St) if you were going to stop specifically.

Decided to take Mum out for a spot of lunch. had a look around an plumped for this place. We were glad we did, especially me. Most garden centre cafes have the same food on sale. here there is a bit more choice. I had a wonderful breakfast, (I know it was lunch time) it was huge and very well cooked. Mum had a sandwich which she seemed to enjoy. I thoroughly recommend this establishment.

Visiting Malmesbury, we stopped by the Malmesbuy Garden Centre a we wanted to look at plants and so visited the Café for afternoon drinks.

We visited the garden centre on a wet day , looking for a cafe etc . after a look around the small garden centre shop we entered the Cafe . The food we ordered was a cheese and tomato sandwich and two teas £4.50 for sandwich and £2.50 for the tea .The bread was fresh and it came with a small salad and some crisps .There was plenty of filling in the sandwich and the tea was how it should hot and strong . People around us were having large breakfasts and scrambled eggs on toast and coffees . Definitely a must place to visit if you are in the area , As for the garden centre it is a small and dated , could do with a make over .
