Par Garden centre in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

So I am very disappointed to have to write this , as a regular customer at This little garden centre we loved to meet as a family and have breakfast here , but our last couple of visits we haven’t been very pleased with the quality and the service , we noticed a change in menu and possibly a different cook , we always go early before it gets to busy as usually there is 4-6 of us and we know we’re a bigger table so get it ordered early , this time we went again arrived around 9-9.15 am wasn’t busy we ordered and had drinks delivered , 1 hour later we received the food and it was very disappointing, overcooked , dry bacon and sausage , some parts were hot some cold , they’ve removed pancakes off the menu for some reason , I would of thought they would be the easiest to prepare , we didn’t make a fuss while we were there but unfortunately I don’t think we will return now . Such a shame as this is a place that is convenient for us , and we enjoy a catch up with extended family . Also what I presume was a manager seemed to be very grumpy and snapped at my father , I am very surprised as everyone is usually very friendly this is why we have returned in the past . Put it down to a bad day I don’t know but I feel very disappointed .

We met family here for a birthday breakfast treat. We arrived at 9 when it opens and ordered by 9.15 not many others in at this time it took a good 20 mins to get our drinks and an hour and 15 mins for our food to arrive which came out in dribs and drabs and some items cold, eggs all broken and missing items. We have visited here a few times as its local to some family members, we was very disappointed with the new menu! Only suitable for people wanting a cooked breakfast nothing else on offer they had removed the pancakes. After this experience I'm not sure we will go back again anytime soon. The only positive was the staff were friendly

Visited for lunch today ordered at 12.42 a Ciabatta with Bacon & Brie and a Jacket Potato with Prawn rise Marie sauce. Tea and a cappuccino arrived promptly but 30 minutes in our food had still not arrived unusually. I questioned at the counter in case we had been forgotten but was told that the kitchen was just starting our order?? After a two and fro about how many minutes we had actually been waiting they gave us a free tea and elderflower drink. We then waited another 10minutes for food. The Ciabatta was good but the jacket potato did not appear to have sauce so I added mayonnaise. The lady at an adjoining table got her order as we were leaving and she queried why there was no sauce!! I pointed out that mine was the same and was thrown the comment "sorry about that " We have eaten here numerous times and today was out of character? Do they have a new chef I wonder? Time will tell.

Normalmente tengo una experiencia bastante buena, pero hoy fue decepcionante. Mi amiga tenía un pelo en su comida y el inflado por contracción parece haber afectado la cantidad de queso que se permite en la papa chaqueta, solo un poco derretido en la parte superior, al principio pensé que era solo mantequilla. Para ser justos, mi amiga recibió un reembolso de la mitad del precio de su comida y el personal fue educado y se disculpó. Por lo general, el personal ha encontrado servicial y listo para tratar de corregir incidentes desafortunados, pero estaba decepcionado con la comida en esta ocasión.

Visité hoy con un grupo de 20 viejos amigos del trabajo y tuve el almuerzo de Navidad de 3 platos. El servicio fue puntual sin demoras. Elección de 3 entrantes, cena asada de ternera o pavo y 3 postres a elegir más café y pasteles picados. No puedo recomendar lo suficiente. Super comida, personal amable y servicial y un ambiente relajante, ¿qué más se puede pedir.

19 de nosotros jubilados de Tesco se reunieron para el almuerzo de Navidad y tuvimos un hermoso almuerzo de tres platos. muy caliente. un montón de comida y un servicio fantástico.

¡Vaya! Ahora como vegetariana, libre de lácteos, celiaca, rara vez tengo grandes esperanzas al comer fuera, ¡no importa las opciones! En realidad estoy asombrado de esta joya escondida. No solo es deliciosa la comida, sino que el personal era tan amable y servicial, con un buen servicio al cliente a la antigua.

Café - Fantástico desayuno, café maravilloso y personal encantador. El desayuno era todo local y bien cocinado, sin grasa y relación calidad-precio real. ¡Muchos lugareños disfrutando! ¿Uno de los secretos ocultos de Cornualles?

Vivimos en Bugle, Cornualles. Así que no muy lejos de este restaurante. Hoy, con mi esposo, después de un servicio del Día del Recuerdo fuimos a cenar el domingo. Como el que suele cocinar la comida del domingo, mis comentarios al personal como nos fuimos fue. Es la primera vez que como una cena dominical cocinada por otra persona, y digo: 'Yo no podría haberlo hecho mejor'. Ambos pensamos que era delicioso.

We live locally and often come here for breakfast and a walk round , it’s a lovely little place to go for a couple of hours , and I must commend the restaurant and the staff they are lovely friendly , and can’t do enough for you , we often meet up with extended family and can be a lot of us , they go out their way to help us and the food is excellent quality amazing portions and well presented , they went our their way for us the other day when we walked out a pub nearby when we had bad service and they quickly pushed tables together and got 11 breakfasts out quickly and basically saved our morning as the place we walked out of was horrendous, and we had visiting friends , so thankyou to the restaurant staff you all worked amazing together xx keep up the good work and we will definitely be back for one of your lovely breakfasts soon x xxx

Fabulous place for proper freshly baked scones and cakes. Plenty of tables and well spaced out. Amazing friendly service and is very dog friendly.

We are regular visitors to the Garden Centre. We love a walk around the gardens and shop, and it isn't often we leave empty handed. But we go mainly to enjoy the Restaurant. The service is always excellent, the staff always welcoming. Last week we had a sandwich each. A lovely Prawn for me, and my husband loved his Coronation Chicken. Excellent value. Today because the Summer menu is still operating we ordered a small potion of Fish and Chips. It is both our opinions that this was the best Fish and Chip meal we have ever had anywhere in Cornwall. The Fish, especially the batter was beautiful. Dry and crisp just like it should be. Top chefs would struggle to surpass this batter. The chips lovely, not large dry chips that lots of other places provide. But smaller and chips that taste like chips. We wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend a visit.

Very good breakfast with pancakes on the menu. Obliging, friendly staff nice atmosphere. Dogs very welcome. Lots of things to view inside the garden centre.

Previous experiences have been good, however today we ordered two separate orders for the same table. Which we ordered at the same time, the drink didn’t come out for one of the orders and was asked for twice. Finally when all the food was out and still no drink we asked again, the server went off and came back with the tea and left. He came back again and asked for the receipt and left with no explanation. Came back with the receipt and said it’s ok you can have the tea (which we had paid for) The server was young and was being asked by the other staff to tell us stuff which created confusion. They should have come to us themselves. The vegetarian sausage was so overcooked that it wasn’t edible. I’ve skimmed softer rocks 🙈. Most of the food needed a life raft to stay afloat on the plate. Even something as simple as toast was dry and rock hard. Clearly had been made up early and been kept warm.

I met a friend for a wander round the garden centre and we stopped in the cafe for a drink. £4 for a cup of hot chocolate that tasted milky but not chocolatey, and £3.50 for a cup of green tea! Pricier than The Rashleigh and The Brit and not as nice. We felt the quality and the pricing were way off expectations so will not be returning.

Having seen a few poor reviews, I was a little concerned about meeting up with friends for lunch here, but was told by my friends this is absolutely the best place to go. We weren't disappointed, what an lovely restaurant. Light and airy with a nice upbeat vibe, really polite cheerful guy at the tills, made us great coffee and made us feel really at home. He recognised my friends and knew exactly what coffees they wanted, its a personal touch I really like. We all ordered food, which was brought to our table quickly and looking as lovely as it tasted. The quiche was probably the best I have had out, we all enjoyed thoroughly our meals, relaxed and put under no pressure to leave, giving us plenty of time to catch up and chat. I think its really sad we live in a world where people use these reviews as a personal vendetta, I honestly don't think you will find better locally for price and quality. 100% recommend,

Very limited menu, containing some weird sandwich fillings ( chilli con carne?) I chose the ham, egg and chips and was very disappointed,2 slices of thin ham and an over cooked egg for £11.95 .

This used to be a fantastic place for lunch. Had an amazing menu and was always good quality. Arrived today to see the chalk board with their limited summer menu. Drinks came straight away but had to ask for food after 30 minutes even though couple who ordered after us had got their food. My wife had the quiche which looked like it was from Aldi basics range and was basically poorly cooked scrambled egg in a pastry case. On top of that where we sat there was bird poop on the walls and on the floor around the table. It seems like the staff just don't care what this place was. We used to enjoy it here, now sadly we probably won't be back

We went to the cafe today for breakfast. The lady behind the counter was just lovely, so nice helpful and fun too , she is a complete asset to your company! This was at 9am on the 6th April. She will know who we were , just mention dodgy central heating😂 I work in a shop and appreciated her super attitude. Well done !

Called in for some gardening bits and pieces decided to have some food I went for steak and local ale pie I must say maybe the best I have had my wife went for fish and chips and was good the staff can’t help more than they did so if hungry try the pie lots and lots of beautiful beef in rich gravy

Called in today with my disabled mum for coffee. It was a struggle to get her in as all the disabled parking spaces were occupied, it was raining heavily and she struggles to walk. I was relieved to find a table, but when I ordered the coffee I was told there would be a twenty minute to half an hour wait. I couldn't believe we had to wait for the food orders to be served before a couple of coffees could be provided. So we left and probably won't bother going there again.

Came here on a very wet morning for breakfast. The staff are very friendly and the breakfast was lovely. Can recommend it.

The food was excellent and good value for money. However, the service was very very slow. Waited 10 minutes, stood in a queue, waiting to be served 😞

I regularly pop in to have a cheeky cream tea, sometimes on my own but mostly with family members; all the staff are super friendly and extremely helpful, I have never had a bad experience there, and recommend to everyone.

We were served by Sarah who was warm and friendly, and said she made the scones that morning. We had lovely tuna sandwiches and a pot of tea. Everything is immaculate about this garden centre, and Sarah made our day.

If you want a hearty, freshly cooked traditional breakfast then this is the place to visit. Coupled with friendly and attentive staff and light, airy surroundings it's the ideal stop for refreshment and a browse around a well stocked and presented Garden Centre. One of our now regular venues for food or just a simple cuppa. First Class in all respects

Par garden center was a very pleasant experience the breakfast was good value for money the staff were excellent and friendly

Having finished a meeting early we hunted out somewhere close for breakfast, thankfully this lovely Garden centre was easy to find. Good parking to the front and a superb, good value breakfast with good flatwhite. All plates well cooked and delicious.

Brilliant afternoon tea with great service :) Just call up the morning you would like to go. There are sandwiches, a scone each with jam and cream, some cakes and a pot of tea each

Just dropped in to the garden Center to have a look around, while there I saw the cafe. Tea and cake, no I had the big farmers breakfast. It was FANTASTIC, not expensive, very well cooked, loads of food, it beat me and I like a nosh. Very polite, helpful staff, very clean BLOODY FANTASTIC. This is well worth a stop.

We have been to the Garden Centre café many times, normally just a coffee or tea with a cake. Around about February we had our lunch there, a baked potato etc, me with some butter and cheese my wife with some butter and baked beans etc, best big spuds out, delicious. This time it was late morning and just right for Brunch at 11.15am. We chose the small breakfast, 1 sausage, 1 bacon, 1 egg, plenty of mushrooms, 1 hash brown, 1 tomato and baked beans, WOW! and on a warmed plate which makes a change for anywhere and what would the big brunch be like. Delicious Par Garden Centre café and for one and all for a sensible price, great value, well done and worth a visit everyone. Mind the leaky roof in the shop though even so, great ideas for gifts and plants in there.

On arrival, it was slightly busy inside, but empty seating outside, not cold. I had a jacket potato (it was small) with the cheese and baked beans separate by the potato with side salad. Potato was not cooked enough. Had no vinegar for salad. The coffee was nice and hot.

Delicious breakfast with fresh ingredients and a good dietary choice. Cafe is clean and inviting and staff are friendly and helpful

Coffee spilled everywhere, boiling hot and poorly made. (free barista training is available) Dirty tables, toasted sandwich was overcooked and burnt. My friends bread also burnt and the carrot and coriander soup was watery. Not great, I've had much better lunch here previously.

Decided to drop in for a late brunch, was already getting busy. I would say if you want the roast on a sunday, book a table. We went for breakfast and it didn't take long to arrive. It was all cooked well and was nice...

A fair wait to have our order taken the staff were confused , we ordered two cream teas . The Scones were mega dry , dull pre packed jam & cream , a bit disappointing 😒 won’t bother again

Superb Christmas lunch.! Thanks to Sarah and her team for a truly exceptional meal which was much appreciated by Sue and Jane.

Randomly still doing Track and Trace, why? What are they doing with your data? Staff unhelpful and management rude. Menu chaotic and poor quality

Lovely cafe but service was so very slow to take order had to chase waiter seemed we had been forgotten !!! Code was nice and scones lovemy and fresh

Really good Sunday roast with selection of vegetables and delicious dessert included in price (reasonable). Friendly, helpful service. Only a recent trial for the café but so good that we’ll be back!

be prepared to wait . 20 minutes after arrival still no waitress to take order. dont use the old "its busy" excuse, thats the thing with catering ,lunch time is supposed to be busy.

Just love this cafe. Homemade food..good coffee.. always hot.. best cappuccino ever. Staff always helpful and friendly especially Joanne and Bev who always have a smile on their faces. Highly recommended.

I really enjoy coming to this garden centre for food and drink but Every time I come it’s getting worse ..I had to wait over 25 minutes before someone came over ..then another 10-15 minutes before I got my drink .. In that time I saw a couple get up and go they obviously given up waiting and I didn’t blame them .. unless they get more staff or sort out a different system I won’t be coming back ..takes to long

We took the family here for the father Xmas evening. What an absolute pleasure and the kids loved it! They had drink, meal, present, Xmas tree with decorations to decorate themselves and bells. Father Xmas came out for a chat, story and sing song x All the staff and especially Sarah were top notch and should be given a big pat on the back for all their hard work. We are looking forward to next year already!

A small group of us thoroughly enjoyed a delicious three course Christmas dinner in the restaurant on Saturday 12th December 2020. It was one of the best meals I have experienced in a long time, succulent turkey, a plentiful variety of vegetables with all the trimmings, followed by a choice of homemade Xmas pudding, cheesecake etc. Friendly staff who didn't rush us, so a very pleasant afternoon was spent amongst friends in the delightful Christmas atmosphere. A pleasant start to the festive season!

Superb reception on arriving at the Garden Centre and first rate service in the Cafe.We were warmly welcomed, all the rules regarding social distancing were being observed and we were shown to our seats and order taken promptly. Coffee and buns were great and the portions were amazing especially the Fish, and it was perfectly cooked. I have read the other reviews and don't think they visited the same garden centre as us.

Have always liked going to this garden cafe but since it has changed owners the service is appalling. Got told to take a seat and someone would take our order. After seeing other people who arrived after us have their orders taken gave up waiting after half an hour and left. A shame as food nice as is are products in the store. Unfortunately will not be revisiting

We waited 40 minutes from sitting to have our order taken, the drinks took ages to arrive and when our food came some was missing, the rest of the food then came a while later and was obviously rushed as we had white chips! I can see they tried to put Covid restrictions in place by Taking orders at Tables but after sitting for 40 minutes a lot of people queued for ages surrounding our table which was very uncomfortable! Only to be told they need to sit and wait, there was no signs saying people should stay seated, the staff tried but there only appeared to be three people on which isn’t enough compared to the amount of people so wait times where high and service was poor. Since the change in ownership the garden centre has improved but the cafe has deteriorated and we will not be returning, a waste of £30 and two hours!

No signs telling people to sit and wait to be served, so people constantly at till. I understand we in difficult times but service is very slow. Took over 45 mins to have order taken and even longer for food. Then they still forgot an item of food. Not happy and will not return. Such a shame as always been good before.

Ordered three coffees and 3 pastries and waited for 25 minutes with no sign of it showing up. When asking at counter how much longer the order was likely to be, we were told it would be at least 15 to 20 minutes. Sadly we had to cancel the order. It's a shame because we have often visited this outlet and always had good service.

Love the food here and the staff are wonderful. Dog friendly area. Sunday lunch amazing. Great stuff, Par Garden Centre!! Xxx

Meals superb with good choice. Sunday lunch is brilliant. They deserve more than 5 stars. Nothing too much trouble. Vegetarian and g f always available. Staff really friendly and helpful. Why be in a hurry for lunch - the lockdown has made things difficult for everyone - relax and enjoy.

There was only one person serving at the counter when we were there, so service was bound to be slower - although this was so slow that in the end we left without ordering. Unfortunately, because we were standing at the service counter for so long we were able to see through the kitchen serving hatch where the sunday lunches were being dished up, and there are a couple of hygiene/covid-safety points that perhaps need looking at. For example, people handling food should, perhaps wear gloves; rings on fingers should be removed before handling food, and it's not a good idea to touch food on one plate with a bare hand, and then use the same hand to place a stuffing ball onto another plate. Sorry to complain, because it's not in my nature, but we do need to do all we can to prevent cross-infection and contamination.

Just got back from having coffee and cake with the kids and it was very nice. I’ve always loved the coffee bit stronger than usual. My daughter has a bacon and Brie panini which she loved. Scones were nice too. The garden centre is expensive but the plants seem a better quality than Homebase etc and the staff seem to know their stuff, since they have been taken over they have opened the outside area again with pots hard landscaping stuff which I happy with. There was a guy milling around with a laptop who was very smart and seemed to have a good relationship with the customers.

Went for lunch on Monday 24th aug , it was busy, I was told half hour wait which was ok but had to wait 1 hour and 20mins and not impressed with the food.

We visited on 22nd February, not realising that the garden centre was no longer a Wyvale franchise. We had planned to have lunch there and were surprised at how quiet it was. My husband had chicken curry with rice and a lovely, fluffy naan bread, which he said was tasty, with melt in the mouth chunks of chicken. I had a tuna mayo jacket potato, which was served with a nice side salad and was a proper, oven cooked one, not one of the frozen microwaved ones. The lady who took our order was pleasant and helpful, accommodating our requests for very weak coffees without question, and the food arrived within 10 minutes. My only comment on the negative side is that there is very little food available for vegetarians or vegans - please up your game in this area, guys, as it really will attract more customers.The garden centre part is not as well stocked as it used to be, but since it’s a relatively new business that’s to be expected, so I hope that everyone continues to support them and help them grow.

I visited the garden centre on Friday 20th December with my daughter to have lunch, it was extremely busy but I feel that I had to write this review as the lady behind the counter (I think her name was Jo) was amazing. She was dealing with some very difficult customers wanting a refund and the whole time she keep smiling and apologised to us for keeping us waiting. At no time did any other member of your staff offer to help her in fact I have to say they all looked very miserable and I appreciate they were busy but they should still make the customers feel welcome and the only person who did this was This lady. While we had our lunch I was watching her and commented to my daughter at how professional and polite she was to her customers. This lady is a credit to you and maybe some of your other staff need to take a lesson in customer services from her.

I ordered food in the restaurant but when the chef shouted that the food was ready the waitresses didn't bother to collect it!! Really poor!! Would not recommend

Have just been down for the children’s Santa’s grotto meal and meet. I think it was the best we’ve been to for several years. The kids had food then Santa with 2 presents and then they decorated a small real Xmas tree to take home. Mums had complimentary mince pies and a glass of prosecco! Such good value and Santa and the elves were so good. In fact everyone of the staff there tonight did an amazing job. A real credit to the new owners

WOW We had an amazing visit to see Santa. The Elf and Santa were very child friendly and our visit was one of the best Santa visits we have ever done. Santa and the Elf took time to chat with all the children and made their visit so special. The children decorated their own mini Christmas tree and were given 2 presents each. Value for money. Would recommend a vust here .

Lovely atmosphere. Grotto decorated brilliantly and amazing gifts for the children. Highly recommended

A delicious and large Sunday lunch was served for £10 which included pud and a hot drink. I had nut roast and all the veggie trimmings and my husband had the pork, beef also available that day. We had the cheesecake special for pud although it was a tough choice between that and the hot bread and butter, sticky toffee, sponge or crumble puds. We had lattes for our hot drinks. Being DOG FRIENDLY made it perfect for us!

What an amazing Sunday roast, amazing price and amazing staff. Lovely hot food, tasty, beef and pork, 4 veg, gluten free gravy, gluten free sticky toffee pud, ice cream or custard and then tea or coffee All for 9.95 each

Waited 45 minutes for a toasted sandwich and panini. No apology for wait and other people who had also been waiting were offered a complimentary drink. Unfortunately, not us. If you have a lot of time to spare, go visit as the food was acceptable.

Wanted a quick, small lunch before our appointment so called into Par Garden Centre restaurant. Jacket potato, cheese and beans, yummy, good food and a quick service with attentive staff. Plus a good excuse to look at the plants!!

A friendly little restaurant tucked away at the back of the garden centre. The food is a little pricey, but delicious.

we visited Par Garden centre in mid August 2019 placed an order for the two of us, the couple in front of us placed their order we then placed our order and proceeded to wait for it to be brought to our table we arrived at 1310 pm and waited in the mean time another pair of customers ordered sandwiches then at 11345 my wife went to the counter and asked where our order was ,the reply was it is just being dished up 5 minutes later the simple meal was brought to us.all other customers served before and after us had already left the premises

A group of 16 of us pre-booked our lunches before walking in the area. We were served with our lunches soon after we arrived back, but they would not allow us to pay for our meals as we ordered our drinks. We ended up causing a huge queue to pay before we left. We all enjoyed our meals which were a variety from sandwiches to fish and chips, brunches etc. I had a macaroni cheese with garlic bread. The service was fine, but a bit disorganised at times.

We were allowed for dietary reasons to determine the sandwich filling of our choice - tuna. What's more, we asked for half of the sandwiches to be without butter! Our thanks for meeting our requirements.

I had to come here for a bite to eat while recovering from stomach upset. The lady called Sarah made me a special piece of fish with carrots that catered for all my requirements as to food avoidance.

My daughter and I had the most delicious afternoon tea at the garden kitchen restaurant wyevale garden centre Par. Our favourite was the cranberry and cinnamon scones they have got to be one of the best we have ever had! We could not eat all the amazing treats so took them home for later, you also had unlimited hot drinks which was great. The staff Christy, Sophie, and Sarah C were friendly and took time to chat and make sure we were happy with everything, it was refreshing to see workers happy in their jobs and working has a team. We will definitely be back to sample more of the menu has all the food comimg out of the kitchen looked yummy! Wish I could rate it higher than 5 stars because it so deserves it.

My wife and I had an excellent Festive afternoon tea. Great choice of fresh sandwiches, scones and cakes. So much food had to take some home. Also unlimited tea or coffee.

After quite some time as being a marginal place to have a meal and a drink due to staff numbers and slow servive, we are really pleased to find that the service has vastly improved and the speed of meals arriving much better. The menu offers are good and reasonably priced and the food quality ( whilst we are guessing is bought in) is good as well.

I really hope this was not a typical day.

We stopped for tea and then mid-afternoon for the advertised afternoon tea.

There are a nice selection of plants & gardening materials in the centre & after browsing around these items etc, there is a cafe there too were you can relax & have a coffee & a cake & rest a while before moving on.

We were here to sort out an issue with some Kettler garden furniture which Kettler had agreed to exchange under warranty & I must say that the garden staff especially Olly were absolutely amazing and very helpful and sorted our problem for us.

Called in for light lunch and a drink. Panini and sandwich both very nice with side salad and coleslaw. Had a lovely coffee with 1 shot in the cup .. that was just the right strength for me. Noticed they had a lovely selection of deserts and ice creams and also do a very nice looking afternoon tea. Staff were extremely pleasant and helpful.
