Palm House Restaurant at the Manor Nursery in Chichester

Ordered coffee (expensive & too strong) and a toasted teacake (see below). Virtually zero fruit in my teacake! Very mean! How to give the customer the absolute minimum. Instead of focusing on providing a generous, memorable experience. Plus, I was served a brown teacake when I would have preferred white. Uniform for the staff would be an improvement. Unlikely to return.

Great food and service. It is a little gem and always a favourite for Sunday lunch. Clean, tidy and plenty of space. Never had a bad meal here.

We ordered our Early Bird Brrakfast and waited for it to be cooked from fresh Oh my, when it arrived it looked wonderful, not greasy at all. The sausages were of excellent quality, bacon perfect and portion size was spot on. The staff are all polite, very friendly and the restaurant is airy and immaculately clean. This restaurant is a little gem

When out shopping we occasionally visit the Palm House restaurant. We have always found the standard of food on offer very good with a wide selection of home cooked hot meals as well as other choices . There is also a ‘help yourself’ vegetable area once you have collected your main dish served at the hot food counter. Two brothers apparently run the kitchen and service has always been welcoming and portions generous. There is a spacious , but basic indoor seating area plus alternative areas outside for summer use. The chairs are comfortable. Dogs are not allowed which many will welcome. Obviously dog owners would probably avoid this restaurant. Overall the quality of the home cooked food and the friendly service makes this a good value lunch stop. Breakfasts and afternoon teas are also available. We thoroughly recommend this restaurant although you can pop in for drinks.

This cafe was possibly the worst one I have visited in a long time. The atmosphere was soulless. The decor grim and not at all conducive to a relaxing drink. We were herded into an area for seating half cafe space had been made unavailable by chairs being stacked up. The outside seating was sparse uk inviting and dirty. Considering it was a plant nursery no tables had a clear view of the plants available. The tea was lukewarm and had to be drunk quickly. Tea for two should be two pots plus a pot of hot water. Not one pot and a jug that did little to keep the water hot. The only good thing was the bake well slice which was excellent. Staff were unenthusiastic and indifferent. Definitely will not be going back there.

We were at Manor Nursery and could smell some fantastic aromas coming from the restaurant, so we decided to have lunch there. We certainly didn't make a mistake. The portions were good, vegetables cooked to perfection and really hot. The steak pie was a melt in the mouth experience, absolutely excellent!! The quiche was fantastic, really tasty and being in house made, shows the quality being served. Really loved eating here and highly recommend.

Had an excellent vintage afternoon tea today. Very helpful,friendly staff, especially Carol. Sandwiches, scones and cakes were all lovely. Gluten free options were amazing. Would thoroughly recommend.

Not a pleasant experience. Lunch order came wrong and wasn't particularly nice. Staff don't seem interested, no interaction at all. No atmosphere. I will avoid next time.

Went here for tea and cake with a friend yesterday scone was lovely but the hot water for tea was given to us in a milk jug so dodnt stay warm and the lady at the counter was quite rude when we were choosing what cake to have, she pointed put that we could not have cake from where we were looking till the cake that was on the cou ter was gone but was not polite about it. How ever people that came in a little later had obviously been been before were treated to a much nicer welcome even having their coats taken while I the queue and placed at their chosen table. Clearly you have to be come a regular to be treated politely shame.

What a find! Just moved to Pagham and we were out in search of conservatory furniture when we spotted the cafe. We both had suet pudding and it was delicious, hot, plenty of filling. Extra gravy ,help yourself to veg and potatoes all for a great price. Team were really lovely and very helpful both front of house and the chefs who serve from the counter. Found the whole experience delightful and will return shortly, this place gives local pubs something to live up to!! ( Also found the furniture we were looking for and they delivered the next day). Can’t wait to go back, thank you all for a great experience 😁⭐️⭐️

Excellent food as usual as was the service,can’t fault the palm house.They have now gone back to self service which is ok as long as it is not to busy.

Met a friend here today for lunch.Hadn't been for a couple of years. I realize that social distancing etc is still in place but you can now eat inside.It looks univiting with scruffy hand written signs up,You are greeted by a blackboard lunch menu and a Breakfast Menu Board.The breakfast one doesn't show when it is served till...turns out 11.30am so why not take it down prior to 12.35 or put the times on there.?Orders were taken at the table by an unfriendly waitress(my friend also commented on this and she's usually pretty easy going). My tapwater came in a little plastic Trifle Dish thing .No cakes on offer,just 2 deserts.Cutlery had seen better days and food was just ok...tiny dry salad garnish with pannini. Topped Potato skins that my friend had looked better with a slightly bigger garnish.Prices are high for such a lacklustre experience .

Due to current restrictions only a limited menu is available. However this includes a breakfast selection. Eggs on toast were freshly cooked and tasted wonderful. Although outside the eating area is sheltered. Organisation and service is superb.

Probably one of the best-kept secrets is their (pre-booked) Vintage Afternoon Tea. An outside/inside green space has been created where a lace cloth laid with pretty china awaits. Sandwiches to your taste, possibly the best fruit scones I've ever tasted and truly home-baked cakes. China tea pots contain ample leaf tea (with tea strainer!) and hot water on demand. A lovely, unpretentious, relaxing treat at a great price. You really should treat yourself - even in socially distanced times, which staff manage with ease.

This is the fourth cafe/restaurant we have used in August,the others were o.k. but this is by far the best for organisation & social distancing, Sue & staff are doing an excellent job in difficult circumstances. Food is still at the usual excellent level. Anyone with any apprehension about eating out should feel perfectly safe here.

We had a light lunch during August. Both of us had Tuna melt paninis which were delicious. Our only constructive criticism is that the small salad needed a dressing as if tasted dry. We were told dressing was available. A shame we weren’t told in advance.

We visited for lunch and were very impressed with all the social distancing in place. Everything was clearly explained as soon as we arrived. A lovely lady who I think was the manager took our order at the table. We sat in the covered outside area which has been made bigger and was therefore very pleasant to use. I had the special Welsh rarebit with bacon and mushrooms which was delicious. We will definitely be back again to support such a lovely local business with very friendly staff

Our 1st breakfast out since lockdown as my husband is classified as ‘vulnerable’...palm house restaurant came highly recommended....we were not disappointed. The Manageress, Sue, has got it right and you feel very safe. One way in, one way out. Tables are spaced well, there are 3 different areas of seating, full waitress service, food as good as it was before lockdown. It was a pleasure being there, especially as I Didn’t have to cook hubby’s breakfast.....1st time since 20th March!!! We will definitely be going back. Thank you palm house.

Visited palm house yesterday for breakfast, how impressed were we with not only the food, but the manager, Sue, had set the tables out so that none of us were less than 2m apart. It was so nice to see a lot of sue’s regulars there and to a lot of them palm house is their life line, well done sue and hopefully see you soon

Stopped here by chance on the way to another location. Nice little garden centre with a good stock and decent sized cafe which was what drew me in. Food very good but front-of-house manner left a bit to be desired. Was ignored for ages waiting then treated in very short way as though I was an interruption and it wasn’t even busy. Maybe give another go if I’m out this way.

The Palm House Restaurant is situated in the Manor Nursery, Lagness. If you didn’t know this it would be easy to miss. The restaurant offers a good range of snacks, coffees and teas, as well as other drinks. Cooked lunches are also offered, which are very tasty. During the week seating is usually available, especially in the winter months, but on Sunday, all year booking is recommended. The restaurant has many regular customers. The staff are friendly and efficient.

We enjoyed an extremely good cup of coffee here. However we had no idea it was called Palm House Restaurant as we couldn't see any signage or see any directions to the cafe. The noise of chatter was what lured us to the area. We weren't keen on the cafe with it's plastic tablecloths & fluerscent lighting, but that aside the coffee was delicious.

On holiday in Pagham we noticed the garden center, we turned in and parked in the carpark ( it is gravel and can be a bit difficult to push a wheelchair over ). On entering you find the home wear department, next is the Cafe and then the plant area. We ordered a Brie and Cranberry and an Egg Mayonnaise sandwiches with two teas. We had only just found a table when our food arrived, both were excellent in size and filling. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Competitively priced hot and cold dishes - all served fresh and staff very obliging with good grace. Advance table reservations not taken except for Sunday lunch. Spotlessly clean large attractive sitting area.

Early bird breakfast is excellent. Very good ingredients and fried mushrooms, non of those boiled types.

Good Sunday roasts with all the sides. You need to book for weekend but can walk in during week for a good English lunch. And look round the garden centre afterwards.

We visit here a lot. The food is home cooked and always delicious. The veg are kept in a Bain Marie, so don't expect them to be tip-top, but they are good enough. The salads are also really good. I can honestly say we have never had a bad meal here. Even better as the portions are quite huge and we often take elderly relatives with small appetites, they are happy to serve you a small portion with a reduction in the price. Tea is proper leaf tea in a pot with a strainer. Excellent!

The food at this restaurant is generally very good value. The Sunday roasts are good with lovely crispy parsnips and roast potatoes how I like them. Today we took my recently bereaved brother in law there for Sunday roast to cheer him up. We all paid at the check in point where you are allocated your table and your name ticked off the list we were told we had to pay there as we had booked for the carvery.. However we still had to go through the til area to get and pay for our drinks. My husband and I went through OK but when it was my brother in laws turn they queried if he had paid. He was confused by this question as we had all paid and indeed been told we had to pay when checking in. .He said YES he had paid but some staff member decided to check this out so kept him waiting while she queried this with the woman at the entrance and it all took so long his dinner went cold.He had to ask for it to be reheated in a microwave. As it happened he hardly ate it as he had been put off by the delay and the attitude. BY the time he got his we had half eaten ours.. It was a total waste of £9.95 and what was supposed to be a nice outing ruined. Not very pleased at all and all left very disappointed. Will not rush back.

We normally love having our cup of tea and slice of cake here, but for some reason, today was not that good.

This is a garden centre cafe with a hot and cold food service . It can be a bit warm in the summer months but the large car park makes for an easy life when I’m out with Mum. They cater really well for the older generation, not that I’m a complete spring chicken myself, and it can be very busy at times although there’s a lot of tables. The staff are generally helpful and it’s good to wander around the garden centre to make it more of a trip out.

After a wonder around the Nursery, and very enjoyable, we were in need of refreshment.

A lovely slice of cake and much needed cup of tea after a walk around the garden centre was so much appreciated.

Christmas Dinner for 20 people, Very pleasant atmosphere if a little noisy as the restaurant was very busy. Service was good and all the food was well cooked. waiting staff could not do enough for us

The best garden centre in this area. Nicely laid out shop and friendly and welcoming staff. There is a lovely atmosphere throughout the centre. Thank you!

We do not visit here too often as I like to sample other restaurants but we do look forward to eating here. There is always a varied but limited selection on the menu board kto suit all tastes. The main course is served at the counter with a self selection of vegetables available. Other meals are served by a waitress. The tables are spotless.overall it is very good value. I love it. On Sundays there is a carvery

Went to the Palm house today. Unfortunately the coffee machine was being serviced so only tea or coffee. I had a filter coffee and it was lovely. I also had a fruit scone but it wasn't cooked through..my friends had a cheese scone and it was fine. I only had very limited time at the Palm house so I didn't say anything but tbh I have had many scones there and I've never had a problem there before so just a glitch I'm sure. Staff are very friendly and polite and a very good range of food and cakes. Great value for money too.

If you like fine dining this really is not the place for you but if you love wholesome and home cooked lovely dinners/ food then you've found a winner.... this place has loads of character and the roast dinner I had was delicious .... 4 adults had food and soft drinks and it worked out 11.00 each ... the chef serving was pleasantly helpful and the till staff too ..... I have eaten here 5 times now and very meal has been lovely .... if you are going on Sunday BOOK A TABLE

I've only eaten here once and I wouldn't go back. This is a very popular garden centre canteen/restaurant for pensioners.

We had a Sunday lunch. On Sundays they serve only hot cooked meals but on other days sandwiches/toasted sandwiches are available.

Definitely one of our go to places for a quick bite to eat as the food is alway fresh and service is brilliant.

Como jardinero que ocasionalmente visita Manor guardería y noté que el almuerzo se sirve en el restaurante Palm. Fuimos un domingo con mi hijo y mi hija en ley. Fue capaz de reservar una mesa en el teléfono, así que muchos lugares ahora reserva en internet. Buena variedad de asados y alternativas. Eliges de patatas, verduras y salsa. La comida es de buena calidad y todo, recién preparado. Paseo por el vivero después. Es probable que deberán comer aquí de nuevo, muy bueno.

Lovely friendly staff, most things cooked on premises, ie cakes, and puddings. Soup home made and you need to book for Sunday lunch as two courses are great value. Feels like eating out in the open with the glass sides and all the plants to admire.

Today I visited the Palm House Restaurant at Manor Nurseries with my husband for lunch. I thoroughly enjoyed my turkey meal which was very tasty. The vegetables on offer were good and hot.There was a good choice of meals suitable for any preference or diet. The food is always hot and presented well. The restaurant is clean and the staff friendly. We go regularly to this restaurant as it is good value. To sit and look at the plants outside is very relaxing.

We all had different meals and they were all superb. We visit quite often and the service and quality of food is very very good.

We visit many nurseries and their coffee shops/restaurants; we were impressed with the cleanliness of the place. The staff were very pleasant and the food was certainly good value for money. We will definitely visit again.

My wife, daughters and granddaughter went to the nursery to look at all the great gifts. It is a lovely nursery and has great plants it is a shame that the staff in the restaurant let them down.2 older ladies serving were very grumpy because the family didn't instantly make a decision. They should be aware that without customers they would not have work. It wasn't busy and there were only 2 ladies behind them so there was no excuse!

"4 members went for Christmas Dinner. Menu Choice was good, with Gluten Free and Vegetarians catered for. Service was very good with nothing too much trouble for the staff. Food was well cooked and plenty of it. Well worth going to either as a booked party of dropping in.

We ordered an Early Bird breakfast and a cup of tea, then sat down.It was freshly cooked to order and brought to us. It was a huge breakfast, beautifully plated up and extremely filling. All the products were good quality and tasted wonderful.It is said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and this proved to be true. Especially as it was unnecessary to eat lunch and only required a light dinner.

Every time I have been here the food is first class, if you want a snack or a proper dinner it just excels, the main meals are superb and good value for money, the staff have always been pleasant , friendly and helpful, situated in a garden centre it's so pleasant.....really is a first class restaurant

I visited the Palm House for lunch whilst out with friends.The place was very busy, clean and tidy.The staff were all polite and friendly.The food looked freshly cooked with lots of choice. Prices competitive for the area.We ordered Bacon and Brie toasted sandwiches and tea.The tea was served in a china pot with tea cups.The sandwiches were served with a side salad and crisps.Unfortunately the bacon was undercooked and still had the rind on. I did try and cut the rind off, but the bacon was in pieces not full rashers. It made the food unpleasant to eat and so I left most of mine. The restaurant was very busy and so was very loud.Not sure that I would recommend here for lunch.

Lovely food in and informal setting (it's in a garden centre). We had the minted lamb stew with dumplings, 2 of us had the pork goulash and the beef and ale pie. All of this was lovely and the veg was self services so you could pick and choose and have as much as you wanted.

We only had intention of popping in for a coffee and cake. but the lunch was laid out so nicely that we just couldn't pass.My husband opted for the bolognaise pasta and I went for the quiche and salad, both of us agree it was not a mistake. It was beautifully served and presented, and topped up with vegetables (cooked to perfection). There was definitely no stinting on portionsThe staff are so friendly, and easy going, it is just a pleasure to eat here, in clean surroundings.

Having bought stuff from the garden centre, we thought we'd have a coffee. It was just after midday - which was the signal to start Sunday lunches. There was a long queue and what seemed a laborious process of taking money on arrival (which fitted in with the manual cash registers - and equally elderly staff operating them - in the garden centre itself). All the tables were set up for lunch. Fortunately, it wasn't too cold and we sat outside. That might have been okay but the coffee machine was broken, which meant no Cappuccino and they couldn't do decaf. Just ordinary filter coffee. The scones were nice, though! It certainly seems popular although, as we left, the aroma and atmosphere reminded us of a school canteen! It's probably okay - just choose you time carefully and don't be in a hurry.

Took two friends who had not been before. They had jacket potatoes with fillings and salad and we had lamb stew with large fluffy dumplings. The meat was really tender and portions generous. Topped up with help yourself vegetables. It was a tasty hot meal at a good price and we will be back.

Seems an ok place for what it is, you get what your looking for. Staff are friendly and it's clean. Unfortunately from a coach drivers point of view it's pants. You take 50 people there and you don't get so much as a cup of tea "mean lot" I won't be stopping there again

Day out with friends, we decided to visit the Manor Nursery and have lunch in the Palm House Restaurant, and we were not disappointed.We all opted for the Quiche of the Day which was cheese and tomato. The portion size of the quiche was enormous, but so tasty with a crisp pastry base. With a choice of vegetables or salad, we selected the salad which was pre-prepared and already plated from the fridge, and again did not disappoint with salad selection and coleslaw. Very reasonably priced. In the afternoon after we had looked round the nursery, we revisited the restaurant for our afternoon cup of tea and between us also sampled the bread pudding, spicy and delicious, and cheese scones, a generous size, fresh and very tasty. Altogether a very nice and enjoyable experience in the Palm Restaurant.

Went for lunch with a friend, chose the beef stew and dumplings, which was rather poor. Meat was tough, all you could taste was the herb thyme which overpowered everything. Took the meal back and the response was very positive and helpful, but why put that meal out when it tasted like it did............?

Took my mum for an early Mother's Day lunch to the palm house restaurant, what a hidden gem this is. We had a lovely carvery lunch, roast lamb and all the trimmings. It was just like a home cooked Sunday roast, absolutely delicious! We will be going again soon.

Been in this restaurant a few times now and found the food very very good and good on price, this restaurant is a self service restaurant.

Situated in a very good garden centre the restaurant is in a large conservatory with palm trees dotted around. It is quite large but is very popular and it can fill up very quickly.Quality food with lots of choices to suit everyone. Self service and the staff are very efficient and friendly.

The meal was very good and served hot. This was a second Christmas lunch with our friends, we went in 2014 and in 2015. We all enjoyed the different dishes we had chosen. Good value and friendly staff. Popular for lunch and afternoon tea.

Second year here for a Santa visit with granchildren thank you all so very much just the best very relaxed fantastic staff made the visit special for our granchildren food amazing fresh well prepared staff in the palm house huge thanks top notch customer focus thank you manor nursery couldn't have been better!

We ate here on Friday, the food was lovely. We had the Roast beef and my mother had the special Welsh rarebit Couldn't fault it. Cooked lovely and not over priced. Will definitely go back

We have recently visited the restaurant for coffee which we found good value. We like this place because there is a good choice of tasty food. We go there frequently for lunch. Pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. The yearly Christmas lunch is worth booking. Plenty of room for car parking and on a bus route.

Have been here several times for coffee & cake but this time took my family to lunch....great choice of good, well cooked food in a very pleasant environment.Will certainly come again

It's a bit like an old fashioned canteen but with very well cooked food. The clientele is mainly retirees and families at the weekend. The main courses are very palatable - e.g. salmon in asparagus sauce, lamb curry, roasts, etc… You can help yourself to roast potatoes and other vegetables.

Met a friend for coffee this afternoon, when I asked for a glass of tap water - this was happily given to me but when I ordered a further 2 cups and asked for water I was told by a different member of Staff that they were only allowed to give tap water with a food purchase and that I would have to purchase bottled water !! I certainly will not be returning to this establishment - pathetic!

We were pleasantly surprised when we found this restaurant in the garden center. Having visited the Farm shop on the opposite side of the road we were ready for lunch. We were directed to the hidden Manor Nursery and were not disappointed. There was a choice of sandwiches and cooked food, along with puddings and cakes. I had a panini and my parents were ready for a cooked meal. There was a good choice and lots of it. On a separate self-service section was vegetable and potatoes. They thoroughly enjoyed it. My panini took a while to arrive but an apology came with it when it arrived. The seating is a large open plan area with views out into the garden center. I have since returned with my husband to have coffee an cake all of which were enjoyed.

The wonderful aroma beckoned us into the restaurant. We followed our noses and made it to the hot counter. The food looked fantastic and choosing was more difficult than expected.My husband chose the Beef Stew and Dumplings and I went for the Stilton and Broccoli Quiche. The portions were very generous and we were invited to help ourselves to vegetables to complement it.The Beef melted in the mouth and the dumpling was beautifully light. As for the Quiche, beautiful flavour all the way through and no soggy bottom (Nothing worse than a soggy bottom).Normally, when eating out, we would have a dessert. On this occasion, the main course was sufficient.Although we ate at lunch time, the whole restaurant was extremely clean and the staff were so friendly and helpful. It was a pleasure eat there.

This is a large restaurant within a garden centre which serves a really good choice of freshly cooked lunches. You have to stand in line to collect your plate and meal then move onto a selection of fresh vegetables where you help yourself to whatever you want then you get in line again to pay and then find you table. There is always a good choice of at least 6 main courses (none fried) as these vary every day - also they will freshly make up salads, sandwiches and rolls of your choice. Fantastic cakes and puds are also cooked each day.

Until I knew of the Palms Restaurant I had no idea it was there as it is somewhat hidden in the Manor Nursery/Garden Centre at North Mundham, just outside Chichester. What a lovely surprise it turned out to be. A group of four of us booked a table for four (it is essential to book as it is so popular) and enjoyed a superb carvery lunch at a very reasonable price. Customers ask for their meat, fish or vegetarian main course and help themselves to as many vegetables as they would like. The all in price (under £9) included a dessert. The food was beautifully cooked and enjoyed. A lovely dining experience - not a la carte but traditional home cooking at its best. The wine was also excellent. Thoroughly recommended. and great for singles or couples who don't want the bother of cooking a typical Sunday roast!

If you like good old fashioned cooking you will love this place. Wide choice of dishes eg braised bed in red wine, liver and bacon casserole, salmon in sauce, home made quiche and more. Lovely hot desserts such as upside down fruit sponge, cold alternatives available. You are served the main dish and then choose from a wide range of roast and or steamed veg. Never had a dud!Fine dining it is not, you sit in what is effectively a glasshouse, bright and airy. The chairs are functional. It matters not, the food is plentiful and delicious and well priced. Expect to pay about £8 for your main and a little over £3 for dessert. Terrific value.

We popped into the nursery just to have a look around and the wonderful smells coming from the restaurant beckoned us in. Sadly, we had already had lunch, but we were not disappointed to find that we could have a cup of tea and cake. The staff and service were excellent and nothing seem to be too much bother. The tea was delightful, proper tea, not a teabag job, and the coffee and walnut cake was wonderful. Sitting in the restaurant, looking out onto the beautiful plants was very relaxing.Looking forward to going back very soon

The Palm House Restaurant is very good for a midweek lunch. The specials of the day choices are excellent. We chose the minted lamb with dumplings, it was delicious, as was the steak & kidney pie that another member of our party had. A good selection of vegetables too. Everything cooked perfectly. Highly recommended and would happily return when in Chichester again. Does get very busy due to its obvious popularity.

Since leaving the Pub Trade I have been going to various Nurseries for my Cuppa, not only have I found a Cuppa but also a Lunch which is a plus, most of the food offered is the traditional Pies and Stews and a Carvery on Sundays, One should get there early because it is very busy and on a SUNDAY it is best to book, then after a meal a look round the NURSERY is a plus there is also a Florist in the Nursey. It does make a nice change from the 40 plus years in Pubs.

altho this restaurant is within the garden centre , and the chairs are plastic garden chairs the food and service are delightful . we go about twice a month for the sunday roast . the fact that you have to book says it all. the female chef is very nice , friendly and helpful.as our the girls on the till. the roast lamb is lovely , not fatty and very tasty. plenty of veg and the puddings are very nice and a good mix.

Be clear this is a café/restaurant as an integral part of a garden centre which delightfully has no ambitions to be anything more. It's good value for money, the staff are charming & the food fresh and well cooked - the breakfasts especially are worth driving miles out of your way for. The whole place has a slightly rustic rural ambience as you sit inside what is really a giant green house. So much more pleasant than the newer noisy garden/retail centres that resemble airport terminals.I just fear that one day it will be torn down & rebuilt into something modern and vulgar, so it gets my full support and that of many friends by visiting weekly if possible.

Came here for lunch.lovely specials on board.puddings were homemade and lovely. Did see a lot of people that had sandwiches and jackets which looked really good.

Extensive menu of pretty basic food in a plastic and glass environment.Very reasonable prices.Clean.

We've been visiting here for years for Saturday brunch with friends and its great value and a good environment. Went with business colleagues earlier this month for coffee and that was fine too.

I have been to the very popular Palm House on many occasions for coffee & cake and have also had lunch there. It has always been good value with high quality food. Today we decided to try the early bird breakfast, at £5.50 each for a full English breakfast including coffee it was great value for money. The only thing that I found off putting was the amount of flabby white fat on the bacon (a small amount is to be expected; either trim it off or crisp it up!). I would still highly recommend it, but personally won't be having the bacon again!

Nothing went wrong everything was ok just not very keen on the suroundings but a good place for a rest befor buying plants

This amazing little place has consistently provided breakfasts, lunches and afternoon teas for millions of locals over the year who keep going back for more so that says a lot to me! Excellently cooked fresh food, with an exciting changing menu provides a hidden little gem of a place! Often busy The palm house is well known for offering quality catering, without the hidden charges. They may not be silver service, but the staff are watchful and willing to help if you need it. It's clean and wholesome and of course the added bonus is you can have a glass of wine or whatever your favourite tipple is with your meal.Try the Welsh Rarebit on milk bread!

A great little place, especially if you get in early. They have an 'early bird' offer from 10.00 but I am not sure if I benefited from this or not. For £10.50 I got 2 x 187cl 'bottles of wine', a mug of coffee and a full English breakfast with local sausages.. I was entertained by a robin flying around who was quite immune to the fake birds of prey hanging from the girders, presumably to frighten them off. Apart from this wonderful breakfast I could have chosen a simple cake and coffee. All the cakes looked very good and the roast lunches too.

The Palm House is justly popular. Even midweek it is always busy. The food ranges from competent breakfast to full on roast dinners with a good range of alternatives at various prices. Also good for afternoon tea with lethal cakes!Special mentions go to the ciabata based lunches with marinated olives and salad and to the delicious creme brulee.We use the Palm House a lot and, apart from family, I have also taken business friends there when a more formal meal would have been innapropriate.

This restaurant serves good wholesome food at a reasonable price. Not quite waitress service (although this is available for larger groups), in that you see what is available and order at the counter and pay, and then your meal is brought to you. The seating and tables are failrly basic but comfortable and the restaurant itself is in a glasshouse extension of the Manor Nursery Garden Centre. It can get busy in high summer.

My wife booked a small family gathering here to celebrate my 60th birthday. They arranged a lovely table for 10 and a high chair for our new grandson. Everyone enjoyed the scrumptious roasts and hot and cold desserts - all for less than £10 a head. Food and service was first-class. Nothing can quite compare to a home-cooked Sunday lunch - but this comes close!
