Radish Restaurant in Rutland

What a bad experience today. The wait for food was so long an hour and a half visit for a snack. There was a man serving food and he wasn’t at all friendly or welcoming and didn’t even manage a smile: The food seems to not be as good as on our regular visits. We certainly will never return due to the ridiculous waits.

Visited at lunchtime, the premises was only half full. First of all the lady at the till area where one is asked to wait to be seated completely ignored us, then her attitude when she did finally attend to us was awful, no welcome at all. Once seated we were just left and after waiting 5 minutes we left, dont think they even noticed us leaving. We have been customers of this garden centre for many, many years. Very disappointing.

Just been again to enjoy the winter menu at Radish.The food was excellent and the service was quick and very friendly. It may be a limited menu but the food was delicious and just enough to satisfy a healthy appetite. I highly recommend.

Waited 30 mins for soup and coffee and decided to leave after a further 45 minutes as main course still not served. Staff apologetic but blamed a lack of staff for delays which we were not warned about when being seated.

The weekend brunch platter is fantastic my daughter loved it. lovely friendly, helpful staff. Nice relaxed atmosphere

Wide variety of choices on the menu. Service polite and prompt, even when busy. Food piping hot and delicious. We are regular visitors on a weekend for brunch.

Beautiful breakfast, had the set breakfast number 3, with the addition of black pudding Completely stuffed! Lovely service from the ladies out front

We were a party of 18 for brunch last week. What can I say. The food and drinks were piping hot. The food tasted great. Menu choice is excellent and great value for money. Staff are so friendly and so attentive. We had an amazing time. Topped off by a lovely Santa visit!! I am heading there again today. Highly recommend this gem of a place.

Top service top food and a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Went to The Radish today for lunch with a few work colleagues and our service users who use wheelchairs, the staff were really lovely, very friendly and helpful. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience Thank you all

Lovely food, came very fast on a busy day with a table of 8 people. Staff were extremely friendly and nice. Accommodated dogs too :)

Amazing filling food! Staff were lovely and very welcoming, managed to squeeze us in on a very busy Sunday. Very clean, beautiful decor, and not too expensive! Overall amazing experience!

I came yesterday with 11 others for birthday celebrations. The staff were lovely, all meals were brought out together in good time and the food was delicious. Lovely atmosphere in a great setting. We will be coming again. Thank you for our lovely lunches.

Food was mediocre. Service poor. Garden centre nice to potter around.

The menu was nothing like on this google site. It was very basic with limited choice and no healthy options. Service was really slow too.

Favourite Place for Breakfast/Brunch in the area, come all the time and always leave satisfied 🩷

64 Bowlers had good choice of meals all cooked and served with style. Lovely food. All special diets catered for. Excellent all round. We are going back!

What a lovely place. Visited again a year later whilst on holiday again. The staff here are incredible. So friendly and helpful, absolutely top notch service. Sue was amazing, nothing was too much trouble. They were having their coffee machine serviced so they got us coffee from the cafe at the other end of the site to have with our scrumptious breakfast. The food here is really good quality, and although it is moderately priced, the quality really makes it worth it. It is great produce perfectly cooked. You can also choose exactly what to put on your plate from a menu of items, which is great for visiting with children. Dogs are allowed INSIDE as well as out for all your furry companions. Can't rate this place highly enough. Thanks for giving us a great holiday breakfast treat!

What an absolute delight it was to join my friend for lunch at the Radish. Service was exceptional and the two young men who served us were polite, engaging and a joy to behold. As for the food! My frittata, salad and haloumi fries were simply one of the best meals out I’ve had in a very long time! 10/10 thank you!!

Tasty meal in spacious restaurant at reasonable price.

Lovely Chinese meal last night very tasty. The staff were very friendly, the decor is very nice too

Radish restaurant provide excellent food combined with a great service. The all day breakfast and baked potatoes are particularly good. Having the restaurant based at the garden centre is a real bonus when you are purchasing plants.

Reading other reviews we must have caught the staff on a bad day as the service was mediocre at best. This is our first visit to Radish and its a huge improvement aesthetically on the previous cafe so we had high hopes. It's a large airy space with lots of well spaced tables. 5* for this element. On arrival it was about 30% occupied so loads of tables free. There were 3 of us. We were greeted by a sign asking us to wait to be seated. A waitress approached "have you booked?" "no. do we need to book?" "no but I'll see if we have any tables free" We look around incredulously at the sea of empty tables cleared and ready for the next guests to be seated. The waitress wanders off and starts cleaning down a table on the far side of the room. We stand waiting. A few minutes pass and she eventually returns. "Would you like to follow me?" We follow her pastall the other empty tables and are seated. Noted that other customers arriving after us are seated immediately by different staff. We order drinks and a business acquaintance spots me and comes over to talk. The waitress returns with our drinks and decides to stand right between us to put the drinks on the table without saying a word and blocking my view of my friend. Rude, I thought but say nothing and we halt our conversation whilst she finishes. Staff are busy talking to each other nearby as i try and catch the attention of our waitress. Eventually I resort to waving at another staff member and she promptly takes our order. No issues from this point with the service and the food arrives promptly but the damage has already been done as we had been made to feel as though we were an inconvenience. 2* for the service and etiquette. Food is OK, green salad was mainly a sea of cucumber with a few remote sun dried tomatoes but was tasty and fresh. Tiny burger which tasted like a basic supermarket 1/4 pounder for £13 served only with a small pot of chips, no alad, a deflated bun and, on request, the smallest pot of ketchup. Overall a disappointing experience which could easily have been so much better had the initial staff member acted more professionally. The food was mediocre but an otherwise lovely setting. Its a basic garden centre cafe but this could have been a 5* review with so little effort on their part. I hate leaving negative reviews, especially for small local businesses but whats the point of reviews if they dont reflect honest opinions? Still think the burger was poor quality for the price. Nowhere near as good as a Farmer Lou's burger. They sell other Farmer Lou products so perhaps consider their burgers too. Appreciate the owner taking the time to reply so comprehensively.

Lovely restaurant stuated in a lovely garden centre. Nice food. Very nice atmosphere.

They charge per item so breakfast can be more expensive than the traditional method. Nice place but feel hungry after as portions are small.

Nice cafe'but garden centre overpriced.

First visit since refurbishment.. Only negative was that the burger on special was a little hard to bite. The bun caramel onions and onion rings with it were delicious.

Lovely staff and great food .we went on a curry night really enjoyed it

Great value, incredibly tasty curry and fab dessert, beautifully served

We love meeting here. Lots of parking space and a really good menu. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The afternoon teas are amazing for a birthday treat too.

Excellent food! Prices are great as well. Friendly staff who will certainly be seeing us here again. [edited 2 weeks later] Just came back for their pizza night, just as good. Just £12 for a pizza + cold drink/beer! The pizzas are a bit small, but don't be fooled, they are far more filling then you'd expected! I had the 'Adam Croft Pizza' and I really enjoyed it. Again, highly recommend 👍

Lovely food and good prices. A range of vegetarian and vegan options. Will come again!

Lovely late breakfast. Was a perfect brunch. Each part perfectly cooked. If the chef cooking today was on every day would be there every day. Had a couple of variable experiences before today but decided to give another try and so glad I did. Waiting staff really lovely and friendly too.

Lovely surroundings and staff great but disappointing breakfast. Would have expected fresh avocado not from a tub for the money. Lovely fresh pot of tea

Beautifully transformed with a lovely out door seating area. The staff are friendly and attentive and quick to notice you have arrived. The food is tasty and the cakes to die for. Lots of parking and other shops, garden centre on site.

Lovely Cafe, Disabled parking right outside at a second entrance (You can book tables here so if you have mobility issues then book a table close to the entrance). Great menu, deliciously cooked breakfast. Reasonably priced. It takes a bit of time to get your food so don’t come here if you are in a hurry, but it’s well worth the wait. Would heartily recommend. The staff are extremely friendly and our dog got complimentary biscuits. The outside courtyard is very nicely arranged, and inside is lovely too.
