Oaktree Potting Shed Cafe in Bracknell Forest

Went for Afternoon tea with friends. Great value, some of the freshest and most generously filled sandwiches I have ever had. Lovely fresh scones and a huge selection of cakes to choose from. Tea pot filled up as many times as you wanted. Called in the morning by Claire to confirm no allergies and advise on sandwich fillings, great service. All staff there were incredibly friendly. Highly recommend. Some lovely plants to look at afterwards and fed the amazing Koi Carp. Great venue for an afternoon out.

Nice surroundings and the food was good. Although not even half full, had to wait 29 minutes for our breakfasts. Portion size, quite small and quite expensive . We had the plant based breakfast with brown toast that should have come with plant spread but came with dairy butter. Had to ask for the toast as they forgot to bring it to the table either be good with the breakfast. Nice enough but not sure I would eat here again.

Used to visit the Cafe regularly. Prices were good, service was great and food came quickly. Well, all change. Prices have risen dramatically and the kitchen doesn’t seem to cope with a busy service. Recently ordered some toast and jam and discovered that you only serve one slice now. Why? Do you find this a good way of keeping custom? I know of no other cafe that has done this and from a customer’s viewpoint, it is not right. I also noticed that on a Sunday no substitutions can now be made for breakfast as again, the kitchen can’t handle it and probably the tills. Think again. Service can take over 45 mins for your order to appear. If u are that busy on a Sunday ,plan ahead. You might say that lots of people come there and they do because we British never ever complain (except this one).

At first I thought it was a lovely little cafe to go too after visiting the aquarium, as never been in it although always went past, but unfortunately this will be my first and last ever time going!! The food wasn’t as high standard as you would think from the pricing… we had ordered over £60 of food and drink it wasn’t just a drink we had brought. I had my young children with me unfortunately my one year year-old had chucked some food on the floor like children do and a small lady guessing the boss walked around the corner made a big sign and huff although we was still eating and then walked off and started talking about my little girl making us feel very unwelcome instead of coming over she decided to make it very clear that she was not happy about the mess and that thier was other tables with food underneath them even after staff had cleaned around .. I felt that it wasn’t very hygienic with dogs around the food areas and up on tables… i understand it is dog friendly and I have dogs myself, but I feel that that thier trying to be the ritz in London and really thier not as I know we would’ve welcomed better thier than what we was here. Everyone is equal and this cafe makes you feel unwanted but happy to take your money.

Just love this place for a breakfast. Great portion sizes and good value The treat this time was the special for £10.95 Go early as soon as it’s open as ( Saturday) it gets busy with families Dog friendly

So so cold at 9.45 people moaning, walking out, air conditioning working flat out. Breakfast just alright - apart from white chewy bacon and a sausage to play football with. . Don’t complain though you will get a stroppy answer from a little female.

Love the gluten free selection, had such nice cakes and hot chocolates. Plus it’s great that dogs are allowed. Staff were friendly and welcoming, this place is a treasure!

This cafe has a lovely coffee and hot chocolate as well as a great selection of cakes, and even have a good selection of gluten free cakes! We will be back

The food served was very nice but took ages to come. Very busy inside the cafe with far too many dogs. It’s a shame as the plants there are great. Toilets in a separate building so not ideal in freezing temperatures. Won’t be rushing back.

Great food, great service. Not sure I can agree with the other reviews regarding the price! No it’s not as cheap as a grubby cafe or the Morrisons cafe but the value for money is 100% there. Lovely coffee, lovely breakfast order with some extra sides. Quick service with smiling and happy staff. 100000% will be back. After the amazing breakfast we were gutted that we could squeeze in a cake as they looked to die for! Spoke to the lovely manager who advise us we can take it home!! Yay! Would highly recommend

I have been going to this cafe since it was a tiny little cafe in the corner of the garden centre and always loved it. However…. After visiting today I think this will be my last visit. I took my mum for a light lunch of leak and potato soup with bread and a coffee each. The soup was delicious as was the coffee. When I got home, I was thinking about what I had actually paid for our lunch and was so shocked!!!! I consider £22.40 for two soups and tw coffees, rather pricey to say the least!!! I think “The Potting Shed” are confusing themselves with ”The Ritz” I am quite honestly disgusted with what I paid and will most definitely not be doing it again. So make sure you go armed with a bank loan when visiting!!!

This is the second time we've been to Oaktree Nursery for lunch. I was reluctant to leave this review as I wanted to keep it our secret, but that wouldn't be fair to them!!.. The reason we came back again was because the stonebaked pizzas are absolutely incredible! As well as this, there is a real "service with a smile" here too. Charlie on the tills is a delightful gentleman who made us laugh, and Claire was friendly too. Patrons should remember to reciprocate this by being kind back. There are some younger people working here who are honing their skills in the hectic and fast-paced environment that is hospitality, and they are trying their best, so be mindful that hurtful words do have an impact on them. Now, the coffee beans here are provided by a fantastic coffee roasters called "Grumpy Mule", so you can guarantee a nice coffee awaits you. The barista staff are very friendly too. My only criticism here is that the children's cooked lunch is a bit steep at £7.50, which does include a carton of juice, but only 2 chicken goujons - at this price we did expect 3. Thank you Oaktree, and we will see you again soon!

First time we have tried breakfast. Probably won’t be a second. Took so long to get our drinks that I thought our breakfast would arrive before we got the drinks. No danger of that as waited even longer for our breakfast only to be disappointed. Toast was only cooked on one side, the eggs were like rubber, the bacon was over cooked/burnt, the sausages whilst tasty were somewhat anemic and the beans were luke warm. They may well be ‘quality’ ingredients but need to cooked properly, especially if you are charging best part of £30 for two standard sized breakfasts with a drink.

We had a light breakfast for two people, the one sausage was hard, the bacon very fatty the fried egg was hard, the beans cold toast cold and tea terrible. Can you believe the cost over £26. Not Even worth £5. This was very good in the past but not now. Keep Away

Popped in for lunch which had a fabulous menu but decided to have afternoon tea instead. Absolutely delicious , and the staff were very friendly and welcoming and very accommodating to our request for sandwich flavour swaps as we both hate egg mayo . The selection was fabulous but we were too full to eat the cake so we were provided with takeaway boxes ! Really well priced and excellent value for money in a lovely airy bright setting. We highly recommend this cafe , top marks to the staff they should be very proud !

We stayed at the Stirrups Hotel opposite,( very good by the way),but didn't want the full breakfast. Very pleasant staff, with a good menu. Competitive prices. Worth a visit. Did not use the garden centre,so cannot comment.

A group of 6 friends we have meeting meeting here once a month for years . Six times a year we would celebrate a birthday for one of the group so after having bought lunch we would bring a small cake to have with our coffees to celebrate . We have been doing this for years ! On our last visit the manageress who we have never seen before told us we could not have our cake unless it was bought there ! They don’t sell small birthday cakes of similar size only desserts . She was quite unpleasant when we said we had been visiting for years and bringing a small celebration cake 6 times a year . Needless to say we have now found a new venue It’s a shame as the other members of staff are lovely and always so friendly

The coffee and food is really good however I can’t help but feel the 50 minute wait (regardless of the pre warn wait time sign that appeared on the counter which I could not recall being there when we ordered) was not acceptable.. I saw one family give up and assume asked for a refund, I asked twice about my order then a few more also enquired.. I can’t help feel that for such an unacceptable wait surely cook to order is not working and perhaps replace with a hot food counter? Too many tables / seating for the kitchen to cope with..

Love Oaktrees for brekkie and staff always so helpful. Unfortunately not our experience today with afternoon tea 😟 I confirmed our booking this morning but when we arrived nothing was ready, we couldn’t pay individually, the tea stands were bought out sporadically rather than altogether and we had to chase for the last one to arrive. Another minor irritation is you have one tea stand for two people, which is fine, but why serve 9 sandwich slices? The food was excellent but overall a rather disappointing experience versus what we usually have, and therefore expect, today.

Lovely large, airy cafe. Dog friendly with water and biscuits supplied by a friendly, smiling waitress. Ploughman's was very good, except for the pre-sliced ham. The warm chicken and bacon salad was tasty and freshly cooked. Well done 👍

The fish and chips was one of the best I've ever had. Freshly cooked and nicely presented, excellent. The staff were very friendly, I'll definitely be going again.

My friend and myself treated ourselves to the christmas dinner and was very pleased. Good portions of everything well cooked (brussel sprouts needed a bit longer) and nice and hot. Excellent service, nothing too much trouble. Plenty of room between tables and stayed a lot longer than intended thanks to the relaxed atmosphere. Would recommend giving this cafe a try . Kathy and Jan sparkly trousers !

Coffee is excellent. Salad bowls are also very good. Staff pleasant Tables well spaced. Can get very busy especially on wednesday as it is 60+ discount day!

Oak tree garden centre not only has an Xmas fair which was unexpected with some lovely gifts- candles, sweets and smellies. So much choice of trees, really helpful staff and free delivery that came within half an hour of me ordered- couldn’t have been easier. So pleased!

The food is expensive ok for a treat out now & again the area above the seating area needs inspecting by food hygiene it has cobwebs with remains of insects & the toilet block is like Cartgate A303 in need of refurbishment

Good full English but £11:45 without any drinks. Good quality food with 2 bacon and eggs, one sausage and a piece of black pudding alongside mushrooms tomato and slice of toast.

At nearly £15 for two coffees and two cakes, the coffee was bland, you have no choice but to have a large one. The cakes were tiny slices, and not worth the cost. Feel a little ripped off. Not sure I would revisit, for this...

Brilliant homemade lunch 🥗 Graet staff , pop round for lunch with my friend. Don’t need to wait too long for food, Dogs friendly and all staff very nice 😊

Visited for lunch with friends. Good menu catering for all tastes. Staff friendly and efficient. We ordered and our meals arrived in a very reasonable time. My ham, egg and chunky c hips was excellent both in quality and quantity. We sat there for ages...

We went here as a last minute decision bumped into friends who advised to avoid the fried breakfast as it was awful so went for toasted crumpets and tea cakes crumpets fine tea cakes awful obviously cheap from a cash and carry Coffee three people...

We decided to stop by Sunday morning for a hot drink and breakfast. Tea was extremely weak and the latte was milky and flavourless. The breakfast bab was OK - but we did begin to wonder if they'd forgotten the order, since it took so...

Stopped here with friends for lunch. Great variety on the menu. Friendly staff and the food arrived in a reasonable time. Excellent atmosphere. I had a jacket potato with cheese and bacon which was very good. An enjoyable meal with ffreinds.

Wow what an amazingmothers day afternoon tea! We booked here after being let down by another venue and it was a blessing in disguise. We were greeted by a bubbly smiley lady, the manager I think, who showed us to our table and explained how...

Cannot fault this place at all. We’ve had brunch here a few times now and every single time it’s been spot on. The team cannot do enough for you. We will definitely be back!

Yesterday my husband and I visited the potting shed cafe. We were in the queue to order, a lady in front of us enquired as to where her food was as she had been waiting a long time. The lady on the til went to...

Amazing homemade pies, with plenty of mash, veg and gravy, all wrapped up in friendly service. They are cooked fresh, so it takes 20 mins, but they are worth the wait.

Love going here as they always have a great selection of Gluten Free cakes! The service is lovely too.

Have visited this little venue a few times over the past years but have to say the food was not good on this occasion! The place is clean and staff friendly but I won't eat in here again in a hurry!

First visit to the Cafe with friends. Ordered the full English and I wasn't disappointed. Sausage, bacon, eggs, beans, mushrooms,toast and black pudding! All cooked to perfection. Staff vfreidnly and cheerful. Seems very popular judging by the queue when we left. Would certainly come back...

Always loved my Hearty Breakfast but last 2 visits have given us Luke warm food and hard eggs. Shame as I’ve been going for years.

It is very difficult to find somewhere that does a decent English breakfast. A lot of the places I have visited serve up lack lustre ‘buy in bulk’ cheap ingredients where the quality is evidently budget for maximum profit. At this place however, I was...

Attracted here for lunch by the excellent reviews on Tripadvisor. Rather disappointing prawn cocktail, miniscule prawns served only with lettuce pieces, no tomato or other accompaniments. Nice atmosphere though.

Very impressed with the service and the delicious food we had today! Will definitely recommend and we will be back again soon to eat from the great menu.

Came on Friday with Friend's Was their treat so was hard to complain at the time Cans of coke were warm no ice to cool it either Ploughman’s was poor no taste to cheese or hand lettuce was brown Hardly enough bread which was sliced...

One of the best breakfasts to have around the local area! Always filling and sets you up for the day! Staff are very friendly and cater to any needs!

This has been one of our favourite afternoon coffee haunts, so we are delighted to see it reopen and refreshed. All the favourites are still there - including the staff :-) Wonderful tea and coffee (Grumpy Mule), delightful cakes and food, all served fresh in...

Just paid my first visit since lockdown and the coffee's still great. Very impressed with the way they've made the restaurant covid compliant. Felt very safe and thoroughly enjpyed my lunch. Good value too,

Sub standard experience from start to finish. Was seated at a table of 4 for 5 of us, was told they were only serving breakfast menu and had no children’s menu at 1pm, but actually they had a lunch menu and a children’s part on...

We have waited a long time for the Potting Shed to reopen and, boy, was it worth the wait. The restaurant was meticulously clean, the tables spaced and the customer service worked extremely well in accordance with the Covid-19 regulations. The whole process worked like...

Lovely cafe, food really good, they have a great chef, but since reopened prices have risen. Its a shame I can't afford to bring my clients here as regular as I used it, because its now too expensive

Can't wait for them to reopen, best food for miles, great staff, hope the same chef returns because his food is the best.

A very nice cafe situated within the excellent Oaktree Garden Centre and Nursery. Plenty of choice for breakfast, elevenses, lunch or afternoon tea. Staff are friendly and helpful and the set-up they have of ordering, paying, collecting or delivering is excellent and helps to alleviate...

Lovely spacious restaurant with good value food, garden centre doesn’t compare with a rival on the A30 but restaurant far better in all aspects

Contrary to the reviews below, our experience of this establishment has only been one of professionalism, quality and good quality, value for money food....the team are always happy to help, the tables are very clean and the the ambience is very tranquil. Keep up the...

Went in here not expecting too much really, they really exceeded those expectations. I had a Jacket Potato (dry, common theme) which was costing £6.55 and it had approx 2 Tbsps of filling so I went up and asked for a bit more. Person who I asked looked absolutely offended and was unable to give eye contact probably indicating the level of anger they felt. Extra was given but it kind of gave an incline as to what was going to follow. Unfortunately I didn’t think to take a picture of the Jacket, it was seeing the rest of the servings that I realised the Jacket wasn’t a sole mishap. Pictures provided show the rest of the absolute rubbish that came out of that kitchen. I’d be ashamed to serve that muck up and then charge the exorbitant prices. Girls serving to the tables were all good and happy to help, shame it wasn’t the same behind the counter. Obviously there was no point in complaining as demonstrated when I asked for a little more topping, £££ are what counts apparently! Naturally I won’t be spending my money in there again and will tell everyone I know how rubbish it was. So for the sake of a few Tbsps of food (in my case) and the general lack of a bit of effort, I’m sure when the crunch comes, your business won’t survive it.

We have been to the potting shed cafe before but only had time for a coffee, but today we had a light lunch (a plough mans).We ordered our coffee that the young man has made into an art form, he makes great coffee.We then went to our table that you have to give a number of when ordering food and after a short wait the food arrived and very nice it was too. The place is very clean and the tables are well spaced that we think is a good thing.In the time we was at the cafe we found the staff to be helpful and pleasant and that is always a plus for us.Then once refreshed we enjoyed the garden centre, so a very nice few hours.

Having visited before and the service being usually prompt as well as the great time had last Father’s Day we thought we would return. Doh!!!Not a great experience. Admittedly we expected a wait, it was going to be busy but 50 minutes a little too long I feel! By the time food showed up our drinks were either cold or finished. To top it off the order was wrong but to be fair was fixed very quickly. The portion sizes were smaller than we remembered as mine was served on a small plate. Just a very disappointing visit especially when having to keep a lively 7 year old amused when they are hungry. Overall we must say we won’t be returning as there are better value and smoother operations close by.

I took my elderly mum and my grandson to the Potting shed for lunch last Thursday. It was busy, we ordered two jacket potatoes and a child's meal. it took 25 minutes to arrive which was fair enough as it was busy. our meal arrived the potatoes were so cremated you could eat eat the skins and the inside of the potatoe so overcooked. We ate what we could of it and complained to one of the servers who said oh what table number are you and walked off. No apology or offer of something else or a refund. As I had my restless young grandson with us I could not pursue this as he had already had to wait a long time for the meal. I came home hungry £ 24 pounds down, feeling very disappointed as I wanted it to be a nice treat for my mum as she does get out much these days!

Heartily recommended. Looking for a brunch or lunch and fancy a fry up? This is the place to visit. Really tasty, well cooked and well priced - try if you are in the area. Enjoy.

Opens nice and early at 8am which is better than most in the area Ona Saturday. Reasonable breakfast options and prices with hot drinks. My only issue here is there there either scrambled eggs or bake fried eggs. Be good if they offered poached and boiled. Easy access for strollers and wheel chairs with no steps and very wide access. Plenty of parking and inside seating with some limited outside seating. Be careful in the summer as the area is under a plastic roof which can get stuffy even though they have heating and cooling vents. Bring a coat though as it can be blowy if you seat close to it. Nice over all and worth a visit especially being part of the garden centre. Please like if this helped.

Today we came here for a treat of a cooked breakfast I ordered the full English by husband ordered the hearty garden.

Large cafe located within the nursery with plenty of parking and easy access for buggy’s and wheel chairs with good toilets in site. Good selection of hot and cold food options with drinks and cakes at reasonable prices . Always good service and would recommend. Mind Wednesday lunch times as it is full with pensioners as it’s discount day for lunch. If this helped please like.

Busy place with lovely atmosphere great service and good old fashioned homemade food. Coffee good too.

Called in for breakfast and was not dissappointed. The cafe is large but very inviting, order meals from the counter, giving your table number, and await the foods arrival. We ordered two veggie breakfasts, onf full English and one othe breakfast which was a full English minus the bkack pudding and the mushrooms. All were good portions and hot, quickly served. The coffee was above average and they will make it exactly as you want it. All food was very tasty, not at all rushed as we stayed chatting for over an hour after the meal. Highly recommended

Lunches great quite good value plenty of choice Never go on a Wednesday as its OAP discount day and very busy During busy times food isn't always as good or as hot as it should be . Pleasant staff chilly under the air conditioning

Breakfast very good and hot and tasty. Good ingredients full of flavour. Staff friendly and welcoming and knowledgeable. Enjoyed everthing. Toilets clean too.

I go out of my way to come here for a takeaway coffee because it is the best in the area. All the food is home made and it’s great. Usually busy but you can always get a table. Highly recommended,

A light, bright and lively place, even if it WAS mostly populated by retired folk. Nice, fresh food though a bit overpriced for what it was. For that reason I wouldn't eat here again. Seems popular, though, so it obviously doesn't put everyone off!

Visited the cafe many times over the years and seen it grow and be successful. Always a fast service with a smile. The hot drinks counter can get confusing when joining two queues but generally ok. Plenty of parking, seating and easy access with toilets. The only down side is that is it’s design is a plastic poly tunnel and gets cold in the winter and hot in the winter. They have hot air blaster but they can be a bit harsh if you sit underneath them. Would recommend.

Called in for lunch today & was well pleased. The PSC has a good range of main meals, both regular & daily specials, plus scones, cakes etc. Prices are competitive & meal portions a good size. I liked the idea of being able to place a 'Reserved' sign on one's choice of table before ordering the meal. Café is light & airy, of good size plus an outdoor seating area. Would certainly go again.

Took my friend for afternoon tea for her birthday today. What a disappointment! The bread used to make the sandwiches was so dry that the crusts were curling... as for the fruit scones, they were tasteless, stale and so hard you could hardly cut them. The only saving grace was the very good customer service. Most certainly will not be going there again. As for value for money... certainly not.

Been here many times. I think the full English breakfast is as good as you’ll get anywhere. Place is very clean, light and bright with plenty of tables.

Good selection of cakes and sandwiches available. Also good breakfast and other hot food on the menu. Staff very helpful and friendly. It is sometimes difficult to find a table number so you can order food as often when you get back to the table someone else has sat there. Maybe that system needs looking at.

The cafe has grown enormously over recent years - now light and airy. Heating in winter and aircon in summer! Good arrangement of tables and chairs. Cakes inclusing gluten free options. Light lunches. All home made in kitchen behind counter. New coffee/tea station speeds up service. Nice to have free water with lemon/cucucmber to refresh

Located about two miles outside of Bracknell town with plenty of parking and located within the Oaktree Nursery. Good for breakfast and hot meals. Plenty of seating but does get busy especially on Wednesdays when it is pensioners discount day. Easy access for wheel chairs and prams. Seating outside in good weather. WiFi available but not reliable. Worth a try. Please like if this helped.

Food is very good and lots of choice staff very obliging reasonable price and quick service nice environment

we order scrambled eggs on toast, they were very dry, but the toast was very soggy will not try againr.rossi

Lovely clean venue with plenty of staff milling around. Don't expect Fine Dinning here but the food was good and plentiful, this is a Garden Centre after all and worth a visit in it's own right. We will certainly return soon :-)

Having discovered this place last Autumn we decided to return for a pleasant look around the garden centre and have a lunch at the same time.

Never been before but will be coming back We had been looking round the garden centre and the found the Cafe Plenty of seating , very clean , great service from friendly staff Great breakfast , will definitely visit again

Had a lovely sausage sandwich here on Sunday. Great coffee and lovely tasty sandwiches. Nice atmosphere with lovely friendly staff. All the food coming out looked great

I just had to put a good review in for this cafe within the Oaktree Garden Centre that we visited today. Well set out with plenty of seating, although I suspect in the spring/summer it would be very busy! Service was very quick and the staff are more than helpful, they are an absolute credit to the place. We had the cream tea for 2, at £15 it's really good value and great tasting! 6 quarters of sandwiches each (3 different fillings), a slice of cake of your choice each and a huge fruit scone each (freshly baked by the delicious taste of it) with jam and clotted cream, plus 2 pots of tea (choice of other drinks too). I don't know how they make a profit for all of this!! We shall be back very soon to have this again or to try the other delicious sounding items on the menu, it will be a tough choice!!

This is a lovely place to eat with a decent menu, and some really nice food. Everything we have tried has been delicious. Friendly and helpful staff. Great little area for kids to play in that is clean and close to tables - round the corner so not disturbing other customers! BEST sausage rolls I have tried!

This was a very pleasant experience very reasonably priced and presented very well good choice and pleasant surroundings

The coffee shop area is lovely - nice and bright and clean.

Unfortunately I felt ill when I arrived at the garden centre. The staff ensured I was looked after and insisted I sat in a wheelchair and sat quietly in the cafe until I felt better. They could not have been more caring, so I wil return another day to have a proper visit!

I use this cafe a lot not only because it is close to Mum's home but it's bright, airy, roomy and has a welcoming atmosphere. Food is always good whether breakfast, lunch or just tea/coffee. I would highly recommend everybody tries the cakes on offer...

We had a lovely cream tea in a bright and airy cafe. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The main lunch menu looked so good we will return to try it out. This is an excellent cafe in an excellent garden centre. A great...

I visit this garden centre and therefore this cafe on a fairly regular basis and I have always had good food and drink. Today I went with my son for the express reason of is having breakfast together. We both chose variations on "The Full English".... they were happy to make amendments for us... no cooked tomato for my son, can he have mushrooms instead?, yes of course. I don't like my tomatoes cooked, again no problem. Toast offered was brown or white, perfectly acceptable. The food arrived in good time, piping hot and delicious. My coffee was great (latte) and my son had juice. This cafe is really very good indeed and I especially like the fact that you take a "reserved" sign and place it a table you'd like to use. Then you queue to order your food and give them your table number. No faffing about trying to find somewhere when you have placed your order, got coffee, have a tray etc. All cafes should do this. I'll be back there in the next few weeks for a look at the garden centre, a coffee and maybe just a little slice of that lovely looking cake over there.

Often had breakfast there which has been ok Lunch we choose fish and chips £8.95 not cheap but was terrible, all very dry , fish over cooked , no peas just a slice of lemon and tartare sauce , few chips chunky, nothing special and couldn't finish , felt had been cooked for a while , very expensive for what it was Wouldn't eat there lunch again

Am always coming here for coffee and cake and occasionally lunch. The menu is great and, being gluten intolerant, having a selection of delicious gluten free cake is amazing!

Is what it is ! had a breakfast wasn't to bad. Staff were pleasant enough wouldn't rush back. The garden center it's self is massive one of the biggest I've ever been to

This is a lovely light and bright place to eat and catch up with friends. Food is well cooked and fresh, cakes are fresh and tasty plus coffee is great

We were able to pre-book a table for 14, which I thought was good for a garden centre. We went to the counter in to order our breakfasts in our smaller family groups giving our different table numbers, however when the food was ready the waitress didn't know what table number the food was for and was walking round asking who had ordered the dishes. What's the point of giving a table number when you order! Most of us had the full cooked breakfast which was very tasty, however the sausages were rather pink for my liking. I did eat mine, and had no adverse effect. The staff were very friendly and offered us free second drinks as an apology for the confusion over serving our meals. Hopefully, they will be more organised the next time we try it.

On arrival I was introduced to the normal full of stuff type garden centre and went to find the cafe beyond. It looked new and fresh but a bit like the institutional type cafe and the service reflected the same. Clearly not enough staff to deal with clearing the tables (dirty tables are a pet hate of mine) and they were everywhere. They serve the usual breakfast and lunch menus with toasted items packaged and made up for you to take to the counter for toasting in the kitchen. They also had made up salads so you could pay at the till and not wait for the kitchen. Drinks are collected from the area where they are made and not brought to the table and the cutlery in a central point for help yourself. The food I had was good, scrambled egg and salmon and then opted for a piece of very moist and delicious carrot cake. It is okay but not special.

Staff are always friendly and use to enjoy coming here regularly for lunch. However since they have made the restaurant bigger the menu has shrunk and so have the quality and portions. What was always a defiantly going there experience for food has now turn to into maybe we might have a cup of tea experience. Can't knock the cleanliness though.
