New Hopetoun Gardens Orangery Tearoom in Edinburgh, City of

First visit for me to this very busy tearoom although my friend had been before. We stopped in for a quick lunch after visiting nearby Blackness Castle. The food was good although it could have been hotter as could the coffee. I had the beef and onion bridie and my friend had a ham and cheese French toast. Staff are very pleasant.

The food is delicious and very reasonable, I’ve been going there for a number of years and it’s always so warm and welcoming. The staff are so friendly and helpful it’s always such a pleasure to visit. Highly recommend

Great gift shop and tearoom although, me and my wife where aware of how changing staff makes it feel less welcoming and sad to not see a blonde female with glasses that we are usually greeted by. The tearoom dose its job but with rising prices and rude staff I think we will give lunch a miss next time. The food was okay but I would never go as far as professional it did the job.

This is a lovely cafe with lots to please everyone - bacon rolls and other breakfast goodies, and cakes and scones. The staff were very helpful in particular Katrina who helped us rearrange tables for a larger group and was so good with my elderly parents.

Comfortable, friendly cafe to visit. Reliably serves tasty, home made soups and all dishes are fresh, which is what I like about their food.

Astonished to discover that you can’t take your dog into the garden centre now because the have ‘rescue’ cats. Stopped going to the Orangery restaurant months ago as the standards have really slipped. Dried out cake and burnt scones. Needs a good scrub.

This was our second visit here. As before, the food was good and the service was friendly and efficient. Although we arrived at a very busy time (a Saturday lunchtime in late May), we were served quickly and there was plenty of room for us to sit on the sunny terrace. I do have one minor complaint. The garden centre has a large car park with space for a vast number of cars, but there is not a single bike rack. This is despite it being close to the main cycle route (NCN 76) to and from Edinburgh. We had to chain our bikes to a fence, with risk of blocking a path - as did several other cycling visitors apparently.

Another good visit to the Orangey Tea Room. Staff and food brilliant as usual. We were making use of our January voucher.

Absolutely delighted with the cup of tea and shortbread biscuit. The gardens are lovely and it's so easy to wander off track!! Nearly made it out without a purchase but got caught by the indoor plants, and Rowan the beautiful 🐈

Arrived to get some plants and supplies, reasonable selection though pricey Had unfortunate experience of coffee shop yet to come Salad was well on its way to be condemned the French toast offerings were extreme unappealing, opted cauliflower soup extremely bad idea and staff were pleasant but useless charged for the replacement cheese scone to the soup Pity coffee is on its last legs something might have redeemed them but not to be Recommend bring packed lunch avoid cement mix soups and the pleasant but useless staff

Dropped in for a fruit scone and a latte ,the scones were straight out of the oven ,simply divine ! Quite busy this morning it is an ideal place to catch up with friends and family . Plus a superb shop for gifts . The place is spotlessly clean

Myself, my wife, sister and mum visited the tearoom for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and it was quite a pleasant experience. Sat at a nice table by the window whilst wife and sister went up to order and collect the food. We noticed on the way in that the food looked great and everything that we got tasted fine and was quite palatable. My one criticism would be the prices. I know from experience that garden centre cafes normally charge a premium for their food and drink, which I have never been able to work out why, and this place was no exception. Apart from that we had a rather nice lunch.

Hadn’t visited for a long time and dropped by for soup. Was absolutely delicious!! However, in Covid times, it was worrying to see no face coverings worn by staff behind the serving counter and no masks worn by staff clearing tables. All visitors had face coverings on when they moved about. Not a good message or much respect for visitors to the Orangery. We were surprised and disappointed.

We enjoyed our visit here as it was a lovely day and we sat outside to enjoy our coffee and cakes. The out side area was set up to allow social distancing but still had a nice ambiance

Hopetoun House - you would expect so much better! Poor food choice - fatty breakfasts or lots of sweet cakes!!! And the ambience is so so tired. Avoid and go to Linlithgow instead.

It appeared to offer only sugary cakes and fatty breakfasts - no healthy options. The coffee was tepid. A very tired cafe - plastic tablecloths and dusty chairs. I won’t be visiting again.

We paid a second visit to the garden center with the intention of purchasing a large statue and a plinth. Total cost over £400. Tried to find a member of staff but that is impossible until we found a young lad unpacking boxes and he told us to go the the till point and speak to the 'chap with the beard'. My wife followed those instructions and did indeed find an individual at the tills that matched the description. She asked him if he was the person to speak to about statues, 'Might be' came the reply, she asked again and again the reply was 'maybe'! Shen then asked how would we go about ordering and arranging delivery, he replied just tell me what you want! Well, there are many, many statues on display so not sure how he would know which one we wanted. Ideally he would have suggested that he accompany my wife to the area where they were displayed and then he would know exactly what we wanted but he made no effort to help her. Complete lack of customer care and a very un-smart member of staff as he instantly lost a £400+ sale and a 2 customers who will; never return to the garden center and will now only spread bad reviews. Big mistake.

Not sure where to start here, maybe they were having a bad day ! uncleared tables, staff arguing, questionable hygiene standards and a cheese roll that tasted older then me. The hygiene bit wasn’t good, member of staff handling money and then preparing rolls without washing her hands. Then 4 staff openly arguing behind the counter while one member of staff was furiously trying to clear multiple tables. First time here and it’s the last, can’t recommend anything about this place.

I took my mother in for morning coffee. The team went out their way to do me a wee plate of sausages, scrambled egg, bacon, and haggis, that wasn’t on the menu. Small gestures like this keep people coming back, and not just going somewhere...

Popped by for a halfway meet with pals light lunch time bacon buttie ,soup with new hopetouns signature bread rolls followed by cuppa's all round and cake. No booking required but indoor table times are limited to 45mins to allow through put. First thing that...

One member of younger female staff particularly rude , you wouldve thought she was doing us a favour by working there and we were an inconvenience, remember the customers pay your wages ! Wont be back

We decided to have some lunch at the Orangery today. It was busy but well organised. We had rolls with egg and sausage, date and walnut loaf, empire biscuit and tea and coffee. We were served quickly and efficiently. It was nice but not exceptional...

stopped in for mid afternoon snack. Real tea, no teabags here, pot of hot water too. Pancake and a cherry scone to eat. Very nice. Prices could be better but enjoyable. Nice wee gift shop to browse.

Great place to while away a few hours with friends. Food was of high quality throughout and the green tea was leaf and not bag. Only cloud was the prices which were higher than an Edinburgh tourist attraction. The soup prices for the small portion...

While the quality of the food was good, I must reiterate what the previous review states. The soup with a roll was £4.65 for a cup of soup. Tea was £2.45. This used to be such a lovely place to come for a snack. You...

Have visited a couple times before and its lovely to walk around and have a cuppa. Went again yesterday and have to say I was disappointed. The soup was very tasty but was served in a tea cup and saucer! At £3.95 I would have...

Visited Hopetoun Stately home gardens and garm shop yesterday. Lunch was beaitiful in lovely surroundings. Lovely to see all the birds feeding near the orangery.

My wife and I commented recently that so many businesses (cafés especially) need customer service training. We came here later the same day and were amazed how pleasant everyone was... Nothing was too much trouble. Food was nice as well. We'll be back soon.

Dropped in for breakfast and took the traditional bacon roll in a seeded bun . mmmmmm! The quality has remained the same over the years . Easily the best bacon roll in the whole of the Lothians and Fife . If you are in the...

We popped in here after a day out and was pleasantly surprised. What beautiful plants (of course I has to buy some!!). Tea and Scones were really nice, real tea leaves, which always impresses me. Definitely worth a visit. Very friendly helpful staff as well.

Tearoom looks tired and staff are not pleasant. No choice of jam with scones and not much choice of soft drinks for children. No. Cola or similar. Scones were nice but only plum jam.

I love the shop and garden centre. Sadly the restaurant does not live up up to the same standards. Cakes are not very appealing and the choice could be improved. Thought it was very expensive for what we ate. We also found the tables were...

The tearoom has always been pricey, but the food is decent, however, BEWARE, they've recently started charging cheekily charging a 35p surcharge if you want milk with your americano coffee. I've never come across anywhere else that does that. Bizarrely, milk is free with cups...

Mac and cheese a tuna roll and 2 coffees nearly £15 or just short! The macaroni and cheese was pretty tasteless with crisp bacon pieces which were also tasteless pretty poor show, the tuna roll was just ok. But the prices really first class restaurant prices for poor fayre overpriced and the place really needs a food upgrade and a lowering of prices. A big disappointment!

This is an extremely well laid out garden centre with a huge range of plants grouped together to reflect the growing conditions that they are being bought to fulfil. We recently visited with the aim of finding a couple of different shrubs for our garden and some perennial flowers that could cope with deep shade. We bought several plants and got some good advice from the staff at the cash desk at other plants that might suit our requirements.

We had a lovely lunch at the Orangery tea room. It was very busy and all the food at the buffet was fresh and well presented. The staff were polite and friendly and the food was good value for money.

Accidentally found this lovely tearoom last week. Lovely homemade soups, light lunches, scones and a great selection of cakes. Nice to visit after being in the garden centre.

By far the best garden centre. Food, Coffee and staff were spot on. Lots of good plants and it is really fun for the kids outside as it's a bit of a maze. More to it than just shopping / food.

What can I say ,I am an addict for the bacon rolls ,3 rashers of thick crispy bacon on a buttered roll of your choice ,White, Brown , Seeded or floury . Absolute perfection with a nice pot of tea to wash it down . I could find other tasty morsels but at 10.00 am . there is a mound of bacon in front of you ,why would you look at anything else

Great selection of gardening products and fancy goods at competitive prices. Excellent cafe recommend the bacon rolls.

Beautiful view to the garden in an open atrium. Nothing special with the food and drink but the place is so nice that deserves the top grade.

Stopped in for tea and a sandwich ...absolutely awful! While the setting is lovely, with the bright, airy atrium looking out on to the garden, the tables are crammed in much too close for comfort ... manoeuvring through these with a full tray is very difficult. The tea was hot but my filled-roll was a disaster ...really unappetizing to look at. The slice of ham was completely overloaded, and I do mean overloaded, with grated cheese falling out all over the plate. Not only was the roll difficult to eat with cheese spilling out everywhere but the cheese completely overwhelmed the taste of the ham and the roll. Much less cheese and the addition of a slice of tomato and some lettuce would have been so much better. My husband’s egg salad roll was not much better, consisting mainly of mayonnaise. Not what one would expect for the prices charged ...so very disappointing! We will certainly not be eating there again. On the plus side the retail store is well stocked with an excellent variety of quality, but pricey, merchandise ...enjoyable to walk around.

Visited the cafe and shop this week. The cafe was busy. The tea and cakes were nice but pricey. The selection of gifts is amazing. We followed the cafe by visiting the farm shop. It is a lovely shop with a wide variety of goods, bakery, fresh meat etc. We bought fresh meat and shortbread. Will certainly return mainly for the shop.

My wife and I went for a walk around the Garden Centre which was beautiful and full of hidden gems. After our walk around we decided to have Lunch in their Tea Room, the food was excellent and reasonably priced.

Could smell the bacon from outside the garden centre. Lovely. Well filled roll, choice of white, brown or seeded, only problem for me was the bacon too salty. Still ate it, washed down by very nice cuppa. Service was good and seating comfortable. High chairs available, which was good.

A must do when I'm visiting my Aunt every year. Beautiful Garden Centre, and great cafe. This business has nailed it, fabulous and unique garden centre, and friendly staff. Their soup is very delicious! Right next door to Hopetoun farm shop too.

The big attraction on a Sunday morning is dropping in for a bacon roll in pleasant surroundings It is interesting to see that every second customer is buying bacon rolls ! What more can I say .It gets very busy if you arrive late An added attraction just now is an open air art exhibition in the grounds after your coffee with metal sculptures

A lovely, lovely garden centre, gift shop, cafe and gardens. It always has something new to see, eat or buy! Staff very helpful. Love it....

Took hubby and daughter for lunch. Menu board and prices difficult to see. Had fancied quiche but serving looked small for the price so we opted for macaroni cheese bake. Cheese sauce was split and really grainy, very unappetising, and two of us experienced a gob of solid cheese in amongst the pasta. Yuk. As it was a hot day we all wanted diet Coke or Pepsi but none was available - only orange drinks - although very strangely we later saw Coke on sale in the adjoining garden centre shop. All in all a great disappointment since the garden centre itself is by far the best for range and quality in the Lothian

Visited here quite by accident and found a lovely nursery, great gift shop and tearooms and very helpful staff.So many different things for the garden, a pity I don't have room in my suitcase to bring anything back to Australia After visiting nearby Midhope Castle, we returned to have a lovely lunch here.

Lovely garden centre and cafe. Really friendly and helpful staff, lovely tea with real leaves and scones.

Had lunch here last weekend. I was surprised by how quiet the Orangery was. I had tasty soup with a cheese scone and husband had a baked potato with chilli and salad. Reasonably priced. Great gift selection inside and a super range of healthy plants outside.

Could smell the bacon from outside so made our choice easy. Plenty of bacon on a rustic roll, delicious and good coffees as well. Nice seating area and a good gift shop to browse in afterwards.

On a cold snowy day a retreat to the tearoom is essential . With a nice menu and specials on the board we soon found something to sustain us . The tearoom was quiet but I would put that down to the snow outside . It is a well located tearoom with windows all around to see out . The place is very clean and the toilets spotless . There is an excellent selection of gifts from the shop and the staff are friendly and helpful

Tearoom in a garden centre, you can have both indoor and outdoor dining. Home made food, nice cakes.

Great place to visit if in the area or going to the Forth Bridges or Edinburgh Airport. Not a huge food selection but some good sandwich and stuffed spud choices as well as great pastries and cakes. Loved the Millionaire's Shortbread! Service was good (cafeteria style), plenty of tables but it does get busy. Nice atmosphere with all the glass. Lots of parking and a lovely garden center to brouse around

This is my second time here and would definitely recommend this place. Tearoom is at the back of the garden centre. Staff are friendly. We had soup and cake and it was really good.

We stopped here to waste some time on the way to the Airport.

The staff here are lovely. We had cake (which was delicious) and tea. No teabags here, traditional china teapot with loose leaf tea, and what an assortment to choose from. Would highly recommend a stop off.

We have passed by this place many times but we're always going somewhere. Today was a very intentional visit to check the place out and it really was a pleasure. The centre is full of great products at really reasonable and sensible prices compared to some garden centre/gift shops around. When we eventually got to The Orangery it was not too busy and we were served straight away pasta bake and a salad was the chosen dish and it was delicious the full portion was a real plateful. The other thing that impressed us was the fact that they use nice quality crockery and cutlery, I know it's a small point but it does make a difference. You get two cups of tea in a pot. We then trawled through the shop and spent a good hour there as there is so much to look at and I am sure we will return soon.

We called in to the café at about 4.20pm, just before they were closing ( we were held up by heavy traffic). They were already clearing up, but found us a table for our drinks and cakes. The lattes and cakes were good, although by that time of day there was not much choice of cakes. Afterwards we enjoyed a wander through the gardens, which are extensive and well laid out.

We stopped as the garden centre looked really different and we were not disappointed. Their gift shop had lots of novlities and cards that went of for ever. However their cafe, oh my goodness I haven't eaten such beautifully light cake since my mum died , she was a fantastic baker.

Very interesting gardens with this pleasant restaurant situated amongst the the tree. WE had a good afternoon tea and cake.

Took mum here for a visit on a Sunday morning. Garden centre itself and the gift shop are very nice however fancied a bit of breakfast. How disappointed was I that all they provide for breakfast is bacon rolls... (which I can't eat)..and that's it!!.. when I asked if they did anything else (like a slice of toast) I was told quite abruptly no!! So my breakfast turned into a pot of tea. I won't let it put me off going back but won't go back in the morning (when hungry).... can't understand why they wouldn't at least do another option of maybe scrambled egg!!

Dropped in mid morning and feeling peckish .We both took the excellent bacon roll buttered and filled with 3 thick rashers of bacon . This is easily the best bacon roll for miles around . There was a good selection of scrumptious looking cakes but did not want to be too greedy. It was quiet for a change and that is unusual very often you have to queue for table . Quality food as always

Arrived at 11.34 am. Asked for a bacon roll and was told 'No' on reading the menu I saw they stopped serving bacon rolls at 11.30, fair enough. The manner in which I was told was rude and dismissive. The owner should take heed of staff attitude issues mentioned in other reviews. Won't be back.

Previously regular visitors to the cafe - lovely food - however last two visits have been marred by the attitude of the staff in the cafe. A number of them are, m presumably, graduates from the Basil Fawlty Charm School - unhelpful at best and, with one particular individual, rude & abrupt!

Patronising staff and management in the garden centre and rude staff in the café. Whatever you do don’t have the nerve to want something from the café 1/2 hour before closing time – they won’t like that and make sure that you know it.

I have not visited the cafe but am assuming this is owned by Dougal as well as the garden centre so thought I would write my review of the garden centre facilities here.

We stopped here to have a casual lunch, firstly the place is very busy and popular. It is a serviced queue and the tendency was to buy everything at once, which can be complicated. The food itself was very good both opting for soup and and a vegetable (onion) tart which was delicious. After eating we decided to have a coffee, so I went to arrange this, finding a queue with a bottleneck before the coffee station I asked for 2 coffees, to be met with a disapproving countenance and a less than complimentary tone; "you'll have to go to the end of the queue." The queue was long, and I decided against it. We left uncoffeed. To be fair it is a reasonable quality for a cafe, and worth going, but perhaps the should brush up on discrete and pleasant ways to handle queue jumpers or sort the coffee station out to facilitate upsetting.

Although arrived too early for lunch we wandered around the shop for 10 mins. The food served was fresh and well presented. An amazing choice and gluten free options. Lovely cakes too :) Friendly staff with knowledge of gluten free.

Visited the garden centre and the tea room. Garden centre has great variety of really healthy plants but also a vast range of garden ornaments and accessories, Tea room was busy, great scones and bacon rolls. Very good value for money. Will go back

Stopped in at the garden centre which always has an interesting amount of different items for sale. Had a drink in the cafe which was reasonably quiet. The car park could do with some work as it is quite rough in places. The mainly elderly customers would appreciate that. All in all a good destination for a visit.

There is a lovely garden centre and shop to visit either before or after a spot of light lunch or a cup of tea or coffee. It is quite cramped in the tearoom, but there is seating outside in the garden, which is lovely to sit out in and feel close to nature. There are always loads of little birds darting around the gardens and interesting things to look at, such as the fairy garden. The food is fine for a cafe although it can be very busy.

I really love hopetoun garden centre for its diverse range of plants and interesting things for the garden, but im afraid it is let down by the café there,its range of food is never very appealing and runs out very quickly.

Cannot fault the food....tasty homemade soup with chives and a soft roll followed by chocolate/almond cake and coffee. However, the seating area is a nightmare for wheelchair users...we have been on several occasions and found negotiating around small tables for two in order to find a table large enough (i.e. a table for four) to accommodate the wheelchair an absolute nightmare. Staff are lovely but could have been a bit more helpful in assisting us find a table and perhaps even leading the way. It would also be helpful if they could re-tarmac the car park...pushing a wheelchair (or anyone with a pram or walker) around the potholes and puddles is not easy!!!

Just dropped by for coffee and a cake. Iced dough ring was good, coffee was out of a machine and tasted like water and milk. Not up to the standard of the garden centre, farm shop or many other venues I have been to.

Been here a few times for lunch and it never disappoints. Soup is good and so is the macaroni cheese. It all tastes very homemade. It has a nice tea room atmosphere and the staff are nice and friendly. It is also reasonably priced.

It had been at least ten years since we were last here, scary!

Nipped over the bridge to Dougal Phillips for mid morning snack . They serve superb bacon rolls on white ,brown ,or seeded rolls with 3 rashers of bacon crispy at the edges

Food lovely, such a nice atmosphere and afterwards a delightful walk round the garden centre. Busy most days but we have always managed to acquire a table. If around this area please drop in for a coffee and some cake you will love it. We always try to visit at least two to three times a month for lunch

New Hopetoun has plenty of parking and is very disabled friendly. The cafe is excellent: my wife and I visit often. The soup is fantastic and so are the the main courses. Sometimes the goodies on offer are a bit lacking in variety / imagination

We have been to this garden centre a few times. Always have coffee and a cake. Great choice of cakes so much so it's hard to choose and ample sized slices. 2 slices of cake two cans of pop and one black coffee... £10.80 I'll let you draw your own conclusions on price. Very extensive range of plants, seeds, bulbs and garden ornaments and furniture. They also have a wide range of other items great for gifts but you do need quite a large bank balance to shop freely. However if your looking for something different for a gift then I'm sure you will find it here. There are always lots of friendly staff around to give advice and assistance. Some of the outdoor areas are looking in need of a bit of TLC perhaps over the winter??? Will I return? Of course I will. Recommend it? Definitely!

This is a lovely garden centre with a great range of plants. The shop is well stocked with many good gifts and garden supplies. It is a pity the Tearoom is not up to the same standards. Offering basic food at rather expensive prices, the coffee is little better than take away machines.

Took my mum here for lunch & a wander around the shop and the garden centre's plants. Shop gifts are beautiful but pricey. Plants are really lovely, we bought a lovely rose.

Visited the tea rooms when we went to the garden centre. We were very impressed with the garden centre-the best we have been to.it was very well organised and the staff were very helpful. The tea room refreshments were good and staff very friendly.

Been here a few times and it's a lovely garden centre with a diverse and large variety of plants for sale. There is a lovely cafe with a gift shop area.

as garden centre cafe's go this one is ok but there's nothing outstanding about it basic food and drinks alongside basic décor, food wasn't great but it wasn't bad either just average all the way. When we were there the place was chock a block with OAP's who think its ok to stand and have a 5 min conversation with the till staff then pay the bill with every single coin they have in their purse which is slightly annoying.

Just had lunch here for the second time in a month. Lovely spacious restaurant and helpful staff. Great menu choices including gluten free. GREAT garden center too

I am not normally one to post reviews but I am still angry about my recent visit on Wednesday the 29th June. I was in around 11am as I have done before and I asked a member of staff for hot milk with my coffee she was so abrupt and rude about my request. I was so taken back! I have been here before and the regular staff were lovely and helpful but this foreign woman was so rude to me and other customers served after me. Its enough to put me off going back! Changed times in there its a shame.

I would think you would be coming here primarily to visit the garden centre ( and go to the farm shop further down at the bottom end of the car park ) as well as look at all the lovely gifts and bits and bobs they have - this is certainly the place to go to get something for a garden lover ( although even anybody who has a house !! - as lots of little things for indoors as well )

We took family here recently for a nose in the shop, potter around the garden centre, a bite to eat and a visit to the farm shop next door. I'm sure there are cheaper places, like some others mention in their reviews, but in our experience there was nothing wrong with the food and about £35 fed four adults and a child for lunch. I had the quiche with salad (a combination of lots of salads actually), which was really nice. There's so much to see in the shop and the garden centre is really nicely laid out. I was looking for a new bird feeder and was pleasantly surprised by the selection they had for sale. We only visit very occasionally, but we'll certainly continue doing so.

I am really not sure that this is a place to choose for a leisurely morning coffee, lunch or afternoon tea. Perhaps if you were desperate after shopping for plants or bark then maybe a drink would be ok. The food is average, although I had a horrible upset stomach within 20 mins of consuming and backed potato and coleslaw. The price was too expensive, over £20 for 2 coffee's a backed potato and a bowl of soup with a roll. It's not to be avoided but be aware that you may pay for more than you bargained.

It is a great location to meet and eat avoiding the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh with free parking great food and a lot of garden materials and gifts in the shop. If you are driving into Edinburgh to meet someone it is the one of the best locations to meet and avoid the traffic and lack of parking spaces in the city Centre.

Pop in here odd time when not to busy can be at lunch time always good sign yes it is your usual garden center cafe,but on nice day can be nicetime had,good for disable as well,we got some nice plants as well.

2 soups consisting of one small ladel and one roll each. Just took tap water with it and the bill was £8.30 in total.

Typical Garden Centre food, salads, quiches, couple of hot dishes, soup, baked potatoes. Difference lies in the quality. Excellent flavours and service. Well worth a vist although the plants etc are pricey. No alcohol!

Visited with a group of friends for morning coffee on a day out and went back for lunch later. Staff very friendly and welcoming, great scone and lovely quiche and salad. Enjoyed a potter round the shop and then the garden centre.

The garden centre is very good for plants, shrubs, trees, bedding plants general garden items and rescue plants of which we have successfully rescued many over the years. The tea rooms which can be busy need to make up their minds as to what type of food they are able to offer on a consistent basis. The teas, coffee and scones are good. Freshly made bacon rolls are done too. The rest of the menu is hit and miss. Decide what you can offer and do it well would be my comment. The tables are close together so choice is limited for buggies/those with mobility issues.

Went to this garden centre on sat 27th Feb and while the garden centre is beautiful, the cafe is not up to the same standard.
