Olive Tree, Pyle Garden Centre in Bridgend

Rating is for the deli at the back me and my partner waited 40 minutes for a salad and a sandwich and the only cooked part of the sandwich was an egg and on the salad was 3 pieces of hallomi, tiny portions and the salad was awful. makes absolutely no sense to why our wait was so long, will not be returning.

The small circular cafe is ideal for an afternoon coffee with friends ..

Fabulous day out and food in the restaurant was first class can't recommend it enough.

An absolute jewel of a place, all the gardening products under one roof. Flowers a plenty, pots, furniture, plant food and so much more. Plus a stunning restaurant with all types of lovely food including a vegetarian menu as well. The staff in both the Garden Centre and the Restaurant are really helpful. You could spend hours walking around the garden centre and then finish off your afternoon with a meal and a pint. What more can you want. 🙏

Superb Sunday roast dinner… could not fault it… as good as my mother’s …and hers are the best! Great value, fresh and delicious!

Lovely place for food and shopping

I’m actually in the Olive Tree restaurant in the Garden Centre and I will say that it has a really nice atmosphere. The service and the food are good and I would definitely recommend it if you are passing. The garden centre itself is very well laid out although you could easily get lost as it does wind around a lot. The food hall prides itself on selling predominantly Welsh products and as I already buy a number of them from other food and craft fairs it’s nice to see them in a local market. All in all it was worth the stop while passing and I will definitely be coming back. If you have a moment I would recommend this place to you.

I recently discovered Pyle garden center when buying a car from Bav motors next door. What a lovely surprise! The cafe is great and butchers is amazing. I bought a lamb ball and lamb parcel from the latter. Absolutely lush. Also gifts from the garden centre. I’ll definitely go back. My mum who’s 82 loved it too. The staff are so friendly.

This is the 2nd time I have visited the olive tree whilst visiting the garden centre. I had such a lovely time the 1st with my mum; I came again with my hubby and teenager. We visited on a Sunday, where the tables were set for Sunday lunch, although we just had panini's and the most delicious cakes. We were served by the most wonderful staff member, who was so warm and friendly. I would have to say that the staff are super friendly and welcoming. There was a really lovely vibe to the place. The decor is really pretty and it was very clean and tidy. I will definitely be returning. It's a really lovely place

Great variety and all high quality. A large and diverse range of goods with stock always being refreshed to maintain interest Recent internal redesign looks to be completed. Lots of new outlets with eye popping items available. Christmas decor just about complete too. Impressive and well worth taking a look round

Beef and lamb tough, stuffing not nice, excellent roasties. peas looked like been cooked for hours. Slow service

Lovely garden centre unfortunately they had scent in there heating system. This made us feel sick and had to leave . I don't want to smell perfume .fresh air would be nice .

Lots of selection and prices are good to

Easy parking, plenty to see and buy. Really improved over the years.

Love Pyle garden centre....and not just for the plants (I have no idea about anything green!!!) But they have a fantastic butchers which I use regurlarly. Plus a huge selection of local products including fresh bread, cakes, eggs and veg. Local gins, beers and ciders and condiments are a must buy too.

Visited the cafe. Lovely vegan chocolate cake and cappuccino. Thank you

Everything you need for the garden and ponds

Average burger, soggy chips. Would not go again for food. Latte was nice. Staff were attentive and welcoming. Restaurant nicely decorated.

Lots of choices, The bakery is really nice The olive tree is amazing for Sunday dinner The fish shop is really nice for kids to see.

Huge place and some very good finds/bargains to be found. I found the cafe however to be a little pricey

Had a lovely time looking around the garden centre the other day. And have to say that the staff were most helpful. Especially Jasmine, who was very polite and Curtious. And went above and beyond when i asked her about some information regarding some products. Overall a great experience, and will definitely be returning.

Loved my visit! Had afternoon tea with my mum and we were kindly given takeaway containers to bring home everything we couldn’t manage. The garden centre itself is gorgeous. All of the plants and flowers are well taken care of, none of the sad and tired looking offerings frequently found in the national chains. The food hall is a cavernous space brimming with choice, and Dawn’s Healing Light a total treasure trove. Can’t wait to return!

Pleasant place . Good food and sevice in cafe

Nice garden center, had a massive upgrade, new set up, friendly staff, dog friendly

Been here numerous times and enjoyed the food but the prices are too high. Both of us ordered gammon on this occasion but the gammon we received was so overcooked it was difficult to cut even with a steak knife. I did complain but the waitress was not interested so we left.

So much to see. Lots of interesting sections. Lovely plants. Ate in Green & Wilde.

In aquatic centre only. Plenty of tropical fish to amuse kids. Bought some aquatic plants for garden pond at very reasonable price. Girl who served was very friendly and helpful. Visit today to get supports for large perennial plants. Plenty in stock and various sizes.

Interesting garden centre reasonably priced plants

Love the garden centre, lots of varied plants, good choice, cafe is very cosy not eaten there so, cannot comment, got a lovely idea for my kitchen which, I have now had done so thankyou! 👍

Lovely selection of quality products, great cafe and most fabulous crystal/healing shop inside! Lovely place to visit.

Waited over an hour for mains today and the table was left unattend for long periods without clearing any of it when we had finished , have been here many times now but this was a terrible experience, you need to shape ip guys or you will lose a lot of custom :(

Lovely place to visit , they stock all sorts of outdoor goods plus nice food ... well worth a visit

What a wonderful place. So much to see and very competitive prices. Am down this way on holiday and will be visiting again whilst here.

Had breakfast here awesome service staff are very polite and efficient. The egg on my breakfast must of been from a pigeon but the rest was really nice coffee great too

Garden centre is great, says dog friendly everywhere until you want to sit down for food, and get turfed out for having a dog!

Dreadful service today. After 20 mins I went to see where my soup was. I mean how hard is it to serve that? Girl by the till ignored me until she eventually asked me what I wanted? My daughter ordered a panini, she had to ask after 40 mins for a refund as we had all finished. Very poor.

A very confusing establishment going from room to outdoor spaces with wooden direction arrows outside. An elderly couple were lost trying to pay for a plant we managed to find our way out. Next visit I will use a breadcrumb trail

Great garden centre! Nice place to get a bite to eat too.

Wonderful garden center with an amazing range of plants, flowers and trees

Lovely place,lots of choice, and reasonably priced. The only letdown was very little choice of vegetarian meals in the cafe.

Really nice atmosphere and lovely selections and plenty of everything's and have been there many times and nice day out in garden centre and dogs allowed as well.

Do NOT go here if you have an allergy or an intolerance to any food. I am coeliac and ordered a gluten free brunch and was given the wrong bread. I was extremely ill for almost 2 weeks after the carelessness of this restaurant. When reported to them they were less than sympathetic and didn’t grasp the seriousness of the mistake that had happened. They sent pictures of the gluten free bread which was not what I had been given. I am very disappointed that an establishment like this couldn’t understand the seriousness and admit fault as they have ‘processes’ for allergy orders. Despite this something did go wrong and had lasting consequences for my health for 2 weeks. I will be reporting this matter further but want anyone with an allergy to stay away so you don’t suffer as well!

What a fabulous place! Such a wide range of quality plants that I could've easily spent my budget many times over. Much appreciated discount for Over-60s on a Tuesday. One suggestion: There need to be more disabled parking spaces please.

Nice place. Plants not very well looked after

Every thing you want in one place

Fabulous breakfast. Reasonably priced. Service good. Pleasant eating area.

Very enjoyable day out here, they sell all types of garden items, and the plants are top quality,,, there is a nice little eatery on site too

Expensive but lots of choice clean well presented and staff helpful

Always such a nice day out, so many plants it's hard not to take a few home every time. Lovely mini market and cafe.

Really nice breakfast. Staff were friendly. I had a lovely omelette and my husband said the bacon and sausage were both tasty

A great all round experience! Delicious food followed by a browse around the garden centre & its many shops. A fav to take friends & family

Lovely place for a wandering around. Stopped and had a baguette and coffee which were delicious. Was very busy but can see why

lovely food as always in cafe. Price has gone up but thats like most places. lovely selection of plants, and extended to butchery counter, some fresh produce👍

Lovely place to wander around, even though today it's freezing! There's a sale on today!! Sunday April 6th!! Back for strawberry plants this time! Love this place!! Changed again! Green grocer, butcher and deli now too!! July. And now a cake shop!! If ever there was a time when I could spend as much as I like... Definitely do my weekly shop right there!! December. Soooooo Christmassy! If you had a fortune, you could certainly spend it here! Just bought a Christmas tree. The choice isn't great, but I suppose I'm a bit late with my decorations! Superb deli! Yes, I really could spend lots of dosh here if bank balance allowed!! See you in the Spring! March, and it's changing again! It seems different every time we call! It's so lovely to see the Spring flowers coming back in!!

Staff were very a commanding as we were late for food, but we weren't rushed, they food was lush and very good portions, slightly expensive but fresh. One downside, they could wait to sweep around us till we left. Felt a little uncomfortable having a member of staff sweep the floor around you whilst you ate. We were the last ones there.

Lovely small cafe Green & Wild inside James food Hall. Cosy and friendly. Nice choice of freshly made food. Just a small suggestion, no need for the overhead music, the room is small and people coming together to chat, makes competing to be heard over the sound of the music quite a noisy environment. The music won't be missed.

I haven't had any issues with the restaurant at back of the garden center (5 stars), however me and my wife had a cooked breakfast at Green & Wilde Deli Kitchen at the front. These were £10 each and both of us did not enjoy. The bacon was mostly fat with very little actual meat, the sausage was hard like it had been kept warm all day (odd taste so left), egg not great either. The bread and beans were okay thats all. Not for me 😞

Lot of selection not just plants

Diversification is a business requirement,as a garden centre ,that dept seems to be taking a smaller footprint every time I visit.Is it progress,not for me.

Plenty of plants,garden tools and bits and bobs for gardener...parking can be a bit of a pain,but when your popular you are going to have more people going there,prices can be a bit high but there are bargains to be had..worthwhile visit in my opinion!!!

Food is great, my last visit I had the brunch breakfast and it's still great.

Great garden centre with the lovely Green & Wild deli kitchen. Nice selection of garden, animal, bird, clothing, deli and other.

In there on 24th Dec one of your employees was taking the piss out of one of your customers after pretending to help them (bald tall guy ) I over heard him telling another employer about the customer not the best way to treat people I will not be coming back there again and will be mentioning to other people about this employee

Fantastic experience in the Green & Wilde Deli Kitchen inside the James Food Hall within the Pyle Garden Centre. Food was delicious & the service was great. Lovely decor & the perfect spot to stop for a bite to eat & a Baileys after a look around!

Our experience in your cafe was pleasant but I must admit for a £10 breakfast I expected my food to be nicer. I appreciate that your food is of good quality but it was massacred in the kitchen. Rock hard bacon, sour dough toast which went up and down in the toaster at least 3 times (you can see the staff member in the kitchen doing this). Our bread was not the only one as we seen one lady take hers back and express the same issue. Disappointed ☹️

Great place to shop ibought some chilli

This is a wonderful place. Beautiful plants and a lovely place for lunch

Beautiful and amazing food in both the cafe and the restaurant

Everything you could want for the garden, also good deli/food & clothing area, and very Xmasy for the kids. 2 Nice cafe/coffee shops, although very full on Sunday afternoon.

Visited specifically to try the breakfast in the restaurant as it was recommended to me by a work colleague. Simply delicious and all that for £10...bargain! Waiters were very friendly and attentive. Food was well cooked and seasoned and they didn't skimp on the servings. Easy access from the car park, no steps to tackle if you have mobility issue. Veggie options available. I recommend the breakfast and will be back to try the cakes another time. Thank you!

Went to Green & Wild’s new coffee shop at Pyle Garden Centre with a friend earlier. It is clean, modern with lovely staff . Enjoyed a light brunch which was cooked & presented beautifully ..to perfection actually. Compliments to the chef. Very impressed & Will most definitely be returning 😃

Service in this place is very slow .we ordered two hot chocolates they tasted like dish water went to complain they did make me another but no difference awful won't return sad nice looking place.

So we took our family of 9 adults and 2 children for breakfast which came to over a £100. When the breakfast came one of the plates were missing beans? Called waitress who gave a mumbo jumbo answer and said a dry breakfast was asked for which was absolutely not the case and would not give us the beans!! Also we paid for 2 pieces of toast which we waited for and never came! Again I asked the waitress and was told it was put on one of the breakfast plates.I don't understand why? After saying we have spent over a £100 we were then given 1 piece of toast when two were paid for. Customer service was awful!!!

Lovely food in the new cafe! Very helpful lady who seemed like the manager/owner. We arrived very close to closing time but preparing food and drink for three people was no problem for them. Fish finger sandwich was delicious and the houmous was fantastic value for money. Will definitely visit again

On arrival were told there was an hour's wait for food (although there were empty tables near us) and the member of staff suggested we tried the coffee shop - Green and wild - in the food hall. Followed her advice. We waited 45 minutes for an over priced sandwich. Staff were friendly and apologetic but unlikely to make a return visit.

We shop at the garden centre regularly. We noticed that they are building a cafe inside the centre, looking forward to trying that.

Really poor service - some of the food on the dinner was cold. My daughters meal arrived as the waiter was clearing the rest of the tables plates, we had to remind staff 3 times that we still hadn't received it. One bowl of vegetables between 4 adults, we were told more vegetables were on their way but after asking twice more for it and nothing being brought we just gave up. We even had to ask where our drinks were as they didn't arrive. Not great, won't be returning.

What a brilliant place a very large garden centre with a fantastic restaurant and beautiful food, and a large car park

They have spent a lot of money expanding the place and doing it up way way better than it was before there is now a small farm type shops now inside from cakes ,geleto ice creams to meat, pies and other items. In the Olive tree restaurant my self and mother had two coffees and a slice of carrot cake and banana and white chocolate cake lovely 😋😋on this visit on the 25.10.23 I treated my mother to dinner I had the Butchers Burger and mum had the fish coujons and side salad can only say burger was and chips and salad was beautiful and delicious so was my mum's coujons ***** five stars .

Fab restaurant Great food and snacks

Poor quality plants, extortionate price and bad layout. Will never return. Very disappointing.

Always a popular place to visit and can get quite busy. There are works going on at the minute so unsure how this impacts on parking. Lovely cafe that serves gorgeous coffee and cake. Main meals are available but have never tried these.

Good choices, excellent deal on large pkant pots

Great garden centre, and cafe, I had the Eggs Royale perfectly cooked absolutely delicious 💯 ✔️

Great place to visit always has a happy ending great parking facilities

Amazing Sunday lunch. Staff were excellent and welcoming. Food was served quickly . Definitely worth a visit.

Delicious food in a really cute setting. The best stuffing I’ve had on a roast out. Delicious cakes to choose from and lovely coffee too

Love it here, especially the Cotton Traders and The Dawns Healing Light Shops. It's a great place, and you can take your dog in with you. However, there aren't any bins around if you dog decides to go toilet.

Good food in restaurant , helpful staff. Huge amount of gardening stuff

Great garden centre, quite big and very easy to get lost amongst the plants. Also has a lovely coffee shop attached

Staff awesome helpful. Butchers good and cotton traders not bad either

Fabulous food and great service…staff are extremely friendly. Wonderful atmosphere…great venue…could spend all day here walking around the garden centre.

Always lots to chose from and the staff are so nice and friendly . The place is always clean with a happy vibe and pleasent surroundings .

Lovely garden centre we bought 2 olive trees

Visited the Olive Tree today at about 2 pm the place was nice and busy with a great vibe. We accidentally got in the way of one of the serving staff as we walked in, and we exchanged smiles we asked where to sit and she said take a seat where you like. We sat there causally looking at the menu, and after sometime we thought perhaps we better go up and place our order. I asked at the till and they confirmed that we should place the order at the till and there was no table service. Anyway with that sorted we had a great All Day Brunch with coffee, great meal good quality. The meals and coffee arrived very quickly. All round a good experience, however the fact that there is no table service, should be made more obvious. Nice people good food. Happy to visit again.

Lovely place great cafe lovely food great products try the sweets that are freshly made butchers great all round nice place

Great place, restaurant is excellent

Plenty thar for the the green fingers people

Lots of plants, pots and other garden related items.

Cool, something difrerent to do. Bought myself a cool chilli plant and some cactus plants and a delicious sausage roll from the deli
