Notcutts Restaurant in Spelthorne

Popped in on a sunny Sunday afternoon and enjoyed the afternoon treat which consisted of sandwiches, sausage roll, a very large scone with cream and jam, a chocolate brownie and pot of tea, very good value served by the lovely staff

Was my birthday and they were very lovely about it, food was great and I enjoyed. Would highly recommend. Big Thank you lisa

Mum loved having the coconut bake. Thank you Lisa. Will try your bakewell next time! Thank you Amy & Team for being kind and thoughtful to Mum. She feels at home which helps with her dementia.

My husband and I treated our best friend for her birthday today having just had the best ever afternoon tea!! Better than some dearer hotels! The selection of sandwiches Were delicious. Packed full of tasty ingredients. Quiche and sausage rolls, warm from the oven. Fruit scones, bigger than we have ever seen with jam and clotted cream! Last but not least, a variety of cakes and tiny desserts which were gorgeous! The staff were friendly and helpful! The chef, obviously enjoys his job as he put alot into each product. Thanks for making it a special occasion!

I came in for lunch with a friend,I was served by a lovely young lady called Sydney she was very attentive and a great person to talk to the food was great and service from this young lady was exceptional,she recommended the cream tea and it was Devine!

Friendly staff. Lovely surroundings. Good food .Value for money. We have been going there for a number of months and the service and food here are consistently good 😊

Friendly service from all staff, lovely food. Would of liked a bigger jacket potato but the food was lovely. Would come again.

I have shopped at Notcutts a few times to purchase various bits and bobs and to have lunch every now and then. I am always greeted with friendly, smiling staff who are very helpful and never put out when asked to assist. The couple of staff members I have had serve me recently are Ellie and Gurvinder. They are brilliant young ladies who always greet me with a cheery hello and a smile. Ellie has served me a few times on the tills now and always makes time for a little chat, while Gurvinder has been very helpful in assisting me around the store when I am looking for a particular product. There is also a couple of young lads that work there, I am ashamed to say I didn't ask their names, but they have helped me a few times and are extremely knowledgeable with the products Notcutts do and don't have in store. All the staff I have spoken with here are very kind and welcoming people, which is a rarity these days, and the manager should be extremely proud of the team they have round them. These youngsters are not only a credit to themselves, but a credit to Notcutts. I will be returning as a very satisfied customer indeed.

Greta service from Mia - all the staff are lovely and it is such a welcoming garden centre where a lot of care is taken over their products

Today was Mum's 86th birthday. Mariuos cooked a fabulous roast dinner for us. All staff came & sang happy birthday. Wow!

We come from Windsor to go to this garden centre, fantastic food, accommodating staff, very friendly atmosphere, feel very much at home here. The place is well laid out, ketchup is Heinz, and today served by a lovely lady called Jayne. The best place for a quick bite.

I go to Notcutts Staines once a week with my sister , our server is usually Jayne who is the sweetest person and it’s always lovely to see her , only real complaint is the queues sometimes caused , I’m sure , by lack of staff . Other times I go with my children and grandchildren and the food is good but getting,like everything else a little expensive. The grandchildren enjoy the slide outside and always love to see any rabbits ,birds and other creatures that may be for sale .

First time going to notcutts and will definitely be back again!!! Team we’re great and so helpful would recommend to everyone for garden essentials and general bits and the food is so good.

Went to Notcutts with my Nan and Grandad for lunch and it was delicious. My Nan and I had jacket potatoes and they were beautiful, my Grandad had a cottage pie he said it was amazing, we all loved it. A lovely lady called Jayne served us, we will definitely be back! Thanks Jayne and team x

We came for an afternoon tea for my daughter (who is 9 but loves an afternoon tea) Amy the restaurant manager could not be more accommodating and really made my daughter and her friend feel very special. What an amazing experience. We will definitely be back! Sooner rather than later. Thank you for a lovely afternoon

A group of 67 ladies had a delicious breakfast, food was well presented and very hot, served by lovely staff, a thoroughly good experience. Congratulations from very happy ladies.

Come on a Saturday morning regularly and always see the friendly face of Kath in the restaurant. Always friendly and welcoming and helpful.

Not a good meal the fish was awful dry and hard we go for lunch quite regularly but on this occasion was not good. The staff are polite and friendly

Stopped of for a quick cuppa and ended up with a cream tea, I can honestly say it was the best fruit scone I have ever had and it was served with a smile, I found the staff to be pleasant and friendly, I can't wait to return and try something else from their extensive menu.

Last time I had the fish and chips here (about a year ago) it was great - huge portion, well cooked and great value. Last week for £13.95 I got what amounted to a thin piece of white shoe leather covered in chewy batter. The fish was small, thin and dry. The batter was chewy and obviously not fresh. I noticed one customer complaining to staff (before they had their food) and another customer who ended up going to the counter to get her food. A server was wandering around with food a couple of times with obviously no clue where she was supposed to be taking it. Has really gone downhill food wise and service wise and certainly won’t be buying fish and chips again.

Fantastic restaurant, lovely warm welcome from two staff members Abbie and Mia in the cafe. Informed me that my cake and coffee qualified for a deal, woohoo. Both chatty and friendly with a warm and welcoming reception from both of them. Restaurant was busy but a lovely vibe and atmosphere about. Will definitely be returning for more scrumptious cake and coffee.

Excellent food and good value for money. Generous portions of Sunday roast with all the trimmings, and roasted veg tart in herb pastry with salad and sautée potatoes. Both meals tasty and well cooked. Definitely recommended!

A group of us went for a Xmas lunch (pre booked) we arrived for a midday booking. A few had starters which arrived after 12.30, then the main course arrived after 13.00 and the desserts arrived after 14.00, all in all the meal was stretched out for about 2 1/2 hours. They seemed to be very understaffed, to such an extent that 2 of the ladies in our group ended up helping to serve us. There were about 30 in our group, and there was another big group plus the normal daily customers. With 2 big groups being booked it would have made sense to have more staff. Also one of the dessert choices was a fruit salad trifle, which turned out to be a blackcurrant trifle, which was not good as one of our group who had ordered this can’t eat blackcurrants. We felt sorry for the staff, it wasn’t their fault and they did the best they could. Management should have organised things better. Wouldn’t recommend going there in a big group, next year we will be going somewhere else.

Lovely staff and lots of lovely goods for sale, but restaurant offers very poor choice of vegetarian food for Sunday dinner - guess what - vegetarians like roast potatoes and veg too - we don’t want just to be offered pasta or a salad meal on a freezing cold day at the end of November! We ended up ordering a jacket potato and panini & chips as desperate for some hot food - ironically when it arrived it was barely warm - so disappointing!

Had coffee with friend..staff and Manager were excellent as was the drinks. Would highly recommend.

Went for lunch with a friend Lovely freshly made sandwich severs by Jayne and Paula Lovely friendly staff Reasonably priced

So good we come most weekends - lovely staff and nice roomy, airy restaurant - they do a lot of breakfast choice including vegan and veggie and milkshakes

Great Service and very spacious restaurant, Abbie is always very polite and friendly and makes you feel welcome to Notcutts.

Amazing breakfast and staff will return great value for £..thank you for making a single person feel welcome

Excellent service and cake.lovely restaurant.simple and good food Highly recommended. Manager delightful A cut above another nearby garden centre tearoom

Not good! Hadn’t been here for a few years and it has definitely gone downhill. We popped in for lunch and first were confused by where to order as where it said to order was closed, and they took the order at the till. It...

This is one of my daughters favourite places to go for lunch, the quality and choice of the food is always good and the service is always great! We were served today by Jayne, who is always professional & friendly.

Altho there was a reduced menu today we managed to get everything we ordered, I have to point out Caroline what a lively lovely lady, very helpful and a credit to notcutts,

Enjoyable breakfast which was good value. Great service from Caroline. Will definitely go back again

Had a great breakfast. Nice food and plenty of it. Coffee really good. Caroline made us feel really welcome and was very helpful.

Jayne was absolutely lovely and gave great service all round all done with a smile on her face! She made our lunch time experience!

The cream tea offers a nice variety of delicious nibbles including sandwiches, quiche, pork pie and bruschetta. The dessert section includes brownies, fresh scones, macaroons and a beautiful berry dessert. Tea, coffee or hot chocolate was offered and was delicious. The tea was a little...

Had only a short time to grab coffees and snacks but Sharon saw I had my hands full and immediately came over to help us so we enjoyed out time as a family. Thank you.

Lovely peaceful cafe garden Delicious coffee and food and lovely staff across all departments. A great place to wait while my flat tyre is mended!

Its always clean and tidy, I have always found the staff very helpful and the food of good quality. If I had one gripe its that they could do with offering pensioners plates/quantities as my parents never finish all their meals and it is a...

This garden centre has fantastic staff who go the extra mile for customers. Today Paula in the restaurant really helped me. I bring my Mum who has dementia virtually every day to Nottcutts because she feels comfortable there. Its a tough job caring for her...

Rachel was very polite and made a lovely coffee,however, there is only ever one till open even when the queue is ten people deep,and the service is exceptionally slow. If you want a coffee or food,then prepare to queue!!!

Came in during kids holiday, the staff were friendly, the blonde girl on the counter was friendly and helpful made the experience easy and enjoyable. Could not bring the dog in but okay anyway

Booked for 5 of us for Mother's Day 2 course meal at 1:30pm, had to wait over an hour to be served and that was after I had been up to the counter twice to ask if someone was going to take our order. 3...

Well, work in progress. More Supervisory staff but im not sure if its a case of the tail wagging the dogs head. The younger staff are obviously not happy being told what to do. Still taking far too long, customers asking for their money back...

Having Bern dissapointed last vist, I thought I would give it another try. Turkey, cranberry & brie unavailable, breakfast fryup stops at 11:30 even though the A sign still up without times.

No food on offer or display due to technical problems. They were advertising a coffee and a cake for a set price but had none of the said cakes available! If they are not there then remove the signage! 2 chefs in kitchen running around,...

Awful place, waited in a queue for 10 mins for 3 hot drinks. Staff were enjoying themselves chatting.

Service it getting worse. Still waiting for food. Meals run out but only find out at till. No coffee, machine failure. Chips & chicken burger cold when delivered cold!

Have visited here a few times now, and it is rally good. The Breakfast Platter with a Latte makes a good meal.

Just after 2 hardly any food left shelves empty sandwiches available but all hot food only 3 items left out of 7

I regularly come to the cafe and garden centre with my family (grandparents especially) for a coffee and the staff are always really friendly (my grandmother is hard of hearing and uses a wheelchair but there is always space for her to get round, and...

Nice place to sit and have a coffee With Friends, plenty of seating but always a queue to be served. Takes sooo long. Used to be a 2nd station which is never open now.

I booked an afternoon tea for 3 people. I was pleasantly surprised with the choice of sandwiches and cakes my auntie is vegan and her dietary needs was catered for too. The quality of the food was to a high standard . Matthew member of...

Could do with turning off the lamps above the tables causing unnecessary heat on top of the heatwave we are having..other than that very nice and pleasant

My husband and I decided to pop in for lunch. There was a long queue which was ok, though perhaps they need to think about more staff. My husband opted for sausage and mash, usually one of his favourite meals, sadly he found the sausages...

Ridiculous prices ... they are trying to be more upmarket but its not really working for them. The restaurant queueing system is strange, lots of counters. I think they wanted about £7 for an open sandwich ... no thanks ... I could make an open...

Generally quite expensive but as members of their loyalty scheme we get two for one meals which makes it better value. Had cooked breakfast on the last visit which was fine and Sunday lunch on previous occasions which have been well cooked and tasty.

Visit Regularly with family /friends for lunch break after attending garden centre and shop .Usually good choice of food / snacks and good coffee.

It seems that every time my wife and I use this restaurant there is a problem. It’s usually the length of service time for food 30 minutes or so. However yesterday 7/2 when we arrived there was a queue for around 10 minutes and whilst...

Cutlery containers need washing, disgusting! Tables are not wiped properly and food gets flicked onto the floor, that's Notcutts idea of cleaning! Don't like sitting at a table with food debris underneath!

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here with our family, staff were friendly and food was great. We will definitely recommend them to everyone we know.

Nice to browse the aisles before sitting down in a relatively clean restraunt, which serves reasonable fare a little too expensive for what it offers but still nice couple of hours wandering amoungst the plants and trees, very pleasant

A big thank you to the restaurant manager and all the staff from the 53 committee members and volunteers of Ashford Helping Hands for a wonderful Christmas Meal in your restaurant on12th December 2019. Food was delicious, with a great choice on offer. Service was...

Yes we are. Since it's our local we keep coming here and spending our hard earned money in mediocre food. I don't even know how to describe the good. Let the pbot speaks for itself. I think a but if salad like they used to offer years ago wouldn't go amiss. If nothing else it makes it look better. The dishes looked bland and tasted even worse. Come on Notcutts! We are contributing to your family's great lifestyle. The least you could do is treat your loyal customers with a but of respect by serving decent food.

Just want to give a huge thank you to the manager and staff at Notcutts Staines restaurant. They provided a wonderful Christmas dinner for 72 members of our gardening club: Ashford Horticultural Society. The food and the service were just great. This was the fourth year running we've had our Christmas dinner there and we have every plan to continue. Thank you very much Blajica and team.

Love the restaurant here, so spacious and light and great for families. But... the food is unnecessarily bad. We had the hog roast pork rolls today. Came with a tiny bite of pork and a stuffing ball. So you basically get one bite of pork, one bite of stuffing and the majority is basically an apple sauce sandwich. With three burnt potato wedges on the side.

We are regulars here. Begrudgingly. Mainly for the restaurant. Overpriced but we still come here. Is it because the food is great? No. Customer experience? No. Why then you may ask. Convenience. That's it. To meet friends. To just have a cuppa.

Made the mistake again of popping into the restaurant

I can’t believe that Notcutts cafeteria can still sell those rock cakes (emphasis on "rock") that they call scones . They are certainly nothing like scones. I like their toasted tea cakes but they are always running out of them. Why can’t they keep a stock in the freezer? Otherwise I find no fault with the layout of the restaurant and efficiency of the staff.

We visited today for a pre-booked afternoon tea. Amazing value for £9.50 per person. The table was decorated really nicely and the food was delicious. But best of all was Jayne who looked after us. She really takes pride in her job and was an absolute pleasure. Thank you! We’ll be back :)

Took my father here for his birthday lunch we both had the fish and chips and it was lovely and well worth the money

We have been regular visitors to notcutts restaurant over the past 15 years, but unfortunately the refurbished restaurant open since late 2016, is not as good as before, gone is the reasonable choice of lunchtime favourites, now we have poorly thought out choices and hardly any customer service. Today we visited for lunch on a Saturday, on arrival the car park was full, and we expected a queue in the restaurant, not so, the serving area was almost deserted, a nice selection of cakes, but unbelievably no side plates! We were positively ignore by the staff, and only get attention when we went to the till area, we ordered fish gougon sandwich and sausage baggette, no mention on the board that it came with accompaniments such as salad or chips, we asked for chips as a side dish, and they actually arrived with a few chips on the side, my earl grey tea was brewed at the counter, with no option to allow a longer brewing time! When the sandwiches arrived, I found my sausages were very light in colour, barely cooked, the onions appeared to be more from a jar than freshly cooked. My wife's fish gougon were almost all batter with only a small amount of fish, very poor quality. Overall the cost of our meal was not good value at all and I can't see us returning any time soon.

This place has taken over the garden centre

Arrived at 2.30pm on a Sunday. Very little food left so we had jacket potatoes with salad. Very nice. It had obviously been busy as they had run out of knives and had to wash some up. Lovely outdoor seating area. If you are a member of the Privilege club you get discounts and occasional free drinks so 2 jacket potatoes and 2 hot drinks cost us £8 so good value. Tables not cleared from previous diners so did a bit of tidying up before eating.

My husband and I have had breakfast a nd chose the veg omelette. Absolutely delicious and the portion was enormous. Presentation lovely.

Came as a group for afternoon tea - pre-booked an area which they decorated nicely for us. Plenty of space.

Service very slow, not enough staff on tills or counter which is a shame as the restaurant could be so much more with just a little more effort, food ok not exceptional . Always busy as it was the day we went but will not be going back soon as when you only have certain amount of time too much is spent on queing and waiting for food.

Regularly visit for tea/coffe. Occasionally meet friends for lunch, always good quality, if sometimes a bit slow when busy

Decided to pop into Notcutts for a coffee and slice of cake with my husband at the weekend. Was pleasantly surprised with the new refurbishment as we hadn’t been since it had been done up. Lovely spring decorations up, creating a fresh atmosphere.

We’ve been coming here for many years and like the overall improvements that have been made.

We always enjoy the food and cakes here, can get busy and this impacts on the service (delays) but nothing to terrible, well worth a visit.

Enjoyed a nice lunch on a Friday. Was very busy but we were advised of the 25 minute wait which was fine. We had the gluten free fish and chips which was great. I had a lovely pot of green tea. Staff very friendly.

Food range is great for a garden centre cafe, service was OK but we had to chase for some of the meals. One came out after everyone had finished eating which is not great, when I mentioned it they said we are busy and are short staffed. I am the customer how is the staffing my issue??

The restaurant has been revamped and is spacious and clean. The festive menu is very good and the food is reasonably priced. Lovely garden centre and well worth a visit this time of year.

Notcutts is a very attractive garden centre with a very spacious light cafe with a good selection of hot and cold meals, however it is a victim of it's own sucess, visited today, 25 min wait for lunch followed by a 30 min wait for pudding, and had to chase. Thought it was poor that when puchasing alcoholic drinks, a beer, a wine and a cider, that although i could see some glasses at the back of the counter, i was told that i could not have these as you could only have a glass if you have booked a Christmas meal! you had to have a plastic cup, the drinks are not cheap and this really does not seem acceptable, i persisted and obtained a glass for the wine but not for the other drinks. The restaurant is very busy at the weekend and if full the number of staff in the kitchen is not enough to cope with the volume of customers, you either need a smaller restaurant or more staff in the kitchen, so the staff can cope, as it is, it is not fair on either the staff or the customers. It may well be alot better on a week day, but if you are in a hurry best pick a sandwich you can take from the chiller counter!

Chicken and ham pie - very tasty, slightly cheesy creamy sauce. Tenderstem broccoli (as usual, proper broccoli would have been better), French beans ok, peas not great. Mash tasted good but cooler than the plate. Gravy - fantastic taste.

Had a lovely Christmas dinner with every thing cooked really nice and the Christmas pudding was very tasty and very moist better ever the taste was delicious. The service we received from everyone was above and beyond on Wednesday 21st Nov. Thank you for a lovely day we had. They brought the food out piping hot.
