Rosebourne in West Berkshire

Very disappointing - partner and I with our little one cam out for breakfast and cake. Arrived around 10ish. We’re not greeted despite our clear confusion with the new and unclear set up. The new set up has created a self service style arrangement which is clearly designed as one way - but cleaning materials left out lead us to believe we should be avoiding the area. No utensils were left out to serve, and no space to place the tray so I had to carry a loaded tray, serve using utensils from another food stuff we had appropriated. When it came to paying, I had to remind them to give me cutlery and tissues. 2 scones, a flavourless piece of cake, two small coffees and a children’s juice can to just shy of £25. Such a shame - used to be a real treat, but as other have commented, hilliers have ruined what was a fine institution.

Long (standing) wait of 15 minutes to get to the till to be served. When food did arrive, two of the orders were wrong. We reported this to staff, who didn't seem to even realise that we had ordered was on the menu. After a further wait, it transpired that our actual order still hadn't been put through. When it did actually arrive, it still wasn't what was described on the menu, and wasn't tasty and barely edible. Very disappointing. Hilliers have ruined the restaurant here - it used to be so good!

Husband had ham eggs chips. Only warm when it arrived at the table cold by the time halfway through eating . Big money disappointing lunch. I had the ploughman lunch which arrived with no butter for the bread and one cheese which was cheddar which was very mild . Will not be returning

The restaurant here used to be great when it was Rosebourne, but has gone downhill since Hilliers took over. In particular vegans are very poorly catered for with not a single breakfast or brunch option. I would have brought my grandson for breakfast with Santa but there wouldn't have been anything I could eat. If you find yourself feeling peckist in Aldermaston, try the Tea Rooms instead.

Rosebourne has really really gone downhill since Hillier took over. The restaurant used to be great - now it’s dirty and the service is poor. Today we popped in, waited 10 minutes for a table (without even being acknowledged by staff) and when we sat down and went to order, we were told they weren’t serving food between 11.30 and 12 (another 20 mins - a long time to wait with a hungry toddler!) nobody mentioned that while we were waiting /being seated. We had to leave. The rest of the shop was just as bad - toilets were disgustingly filthy, nobody serving on the deli counter and no meat in the fridges. A real shame as we are local and used to visit at least weekly.

Popped in for cake and a drink. We had a very long wait as sadly they lost our food order......however this is example of amazing customer service... Victoria held her hands up and said a mistake had been made and turned a negative experience into a positive. The cakes were pretty amazing too.

We go to rosebourne in Aldermaston quite a lot really lovely place.the staff are very polite.they do really good breakfast and there is a good selection of food and the service is really quick.you can also order your food and pay from phone at your table.the coffee is really nice and hot and the staff are really helpful and polite.the food is excellent.you also have a food hall and a nice garden center also try afternoon tea very nice well worth a visit all year round.

Really lovely host on today did an amazing job of explaining the new ordering system to us and showed us straight to our table. I went up to the till to order instead of the app and got told that no swaps were available (mushroom for hash brown) so ended up getting a side of hash brown. I returned back to the table and dinks came soon after. Shortly followed by food. When my food arrived I got told I would have to wait for the toast which was fine. By the time my toast had arrived my partner had already got half way through his food and I had already eaten a good part of mine! Cutlery got brought over with the food it was not polished and looked dusty. No napkins were given. I asked for two napkins and ketchup to be brought over. She brought over the napkins and told me that they had ran out of ketchup. I then asked her for more butter. Which she promptly brought over. There was no comment saying “enjoy your meal is there anything else I can get you” in fact the waitress wanted to leave our table as soon as she possibly could to get back to standing around doing nothing. There was no check back to see how the food was and once we had finished no one came to clear out table. Yet there were loads of staff stood around the restaurant not doing anything. The food was ok however the hash browns were a little chewy and my partners eggs benedict was swamped in the hollandaise sauce this overpower the beautifully cooked eggs. Over all good food but really bad service and won’t be going back there in a hurry!

We use Rosebourne Aldermaston quite regular and we have never had to complain about anything . That includes the garden centre and Restaurant where the food is excellent , the staff are always friendly and polite. How anybody can complain on a one visit experience I can't get my head around that. Well done Rosebourne. Stuart R

Monday morning weather far from friendly on our wedding anniversary so decided to call in for brunch. The welcome, service, atmosphere and food quality was top marks and lifted the heavy clouds outside on this special day for us.We will return and here’s to all the staff you are doing great work. Thank you

Absolutely Fantastic lunch. All Staff were superb. A nice greeting from foodhall staff. All smiles on the deli counter. Lovely greeting from restaurant staff. Lunch was brilliant. Superb roast beef with all the trimmings. Partner had gammon. Egg & chips which she loved. Had a quick browse around garden centre. All staff so friendly. What a place. Would thoroughly recommend a visit to Anyone. Fab Gift section as well. Thankyou All at Aldermaston.

Another FANTASTIC visit to Rosebourne! A Lovely fresh food hall and inspiring displays throughout the store with quality products.We had the burger and chips for lunch which was amazing, followed by a delicious Trifle, all within a relaxed dining area .We’re Looking forward to returning tomorrow for the afternoon tea! Thank you for an enjoyable visit!

My wife and I shared a Ham & Cheddar sandwich with apricot & ginger chutney. Served with home-style fries and slaw £8.95. Two cups of tea or rather cardboard tumblers @ £2.55 per cup. Total bill £14.05. Bread was thick sliced & dry with insufficient butter & chutney making it disappointing. Fries not bad, had better, slaw great but only a tablespoon of it. Tea great but the disposable cardboard receptacle to drink it from was terrible. Service excellent, the app to order was excellent but we were there primarily for some good food which didn't happen.I wouldn't recommend or return.

We returned to Rosebourne on 14 th April, as they had some outside dining area. The experience was disappointing, as they served the food in take away polystyrene boxes and plastic cups and for the same price as their normal service. Not sure why they are using take away items, if I had know that before I wouldn't of visited today.

Been a few times now to Rosebournes for lunch and yesterday for Afternoon Tea. On every occasion the food has been delicious and well presented. The portion sizes are generous and the prices also are very reasonable . The staff have always been friendly and attentive and the restaurant itself is tastefully decorated and has a 'nice feel' .Highly recommended all round!

The breakfast that we had was very tasty and all lovely and warm. We will definitely be returning very soon.

First time visit to the Aldermaston site having visited Andover several times. This time only had tea and cake but very nice and good service. Staff all very Covid aware so nice safe environment and nice selection of quality and gifts to choose from in the retail space

Excellent location, food and service. Have been there for Sunday lunch a couple of times and I would well recommend it. Very friendly staff and excellent food. I had no worries about eating here at this difficult time with COVID. They have taken all the necessary precautions.

My walkers needed to book tables for eight, for a cuppa before our local walk and lunch afterwards. The team placed us on adjacent tables. They were so helpful. Good cuppa and bacon sandwich. Then a walk. Back for lunch, same tables. Great choice of delicious food, generous portions, good quality. Very attentive staff, especially Gary and Imogen. This is why Rosebourne, Aldermaston is a favourite. And of course, there is the food hall and garden centre for the essential retail therapy, afterwards.

Went here for breakfast having only heard good things about the food. Covid well observed. Service was very very slow. We had booked for 1015, arrived early, and the food arrived after 10.45. Both breakfasts looked stunning, both also had a hair in them, my companion commented the one on my plate looked like an animal hair. They apologised and offered to replace free of charge. We simply took the refund. Will not be eating there again.

Excellent High Tea, good value for money. Excellent service and environment, shame about some of the old folk not waering their masks or not wearing them properly.

Everything about our visit to this garden centre was excellent. Very easy to park and everything was so well laid out and arranged. Everywhere was spacious and uncrowded and there were signs of efficient organisation and management everywhere. We much enjoyed wandering around the food hall and plant areas and had a wonderful lunch. Management's safety arrangements were just right and could not be faulted. All our dishes in the restaurant were very good indeed, quickly and efficiently served by friendly waitresses and waiters. Although I didn't feel comforable being asked to add a tip for service when I ordered, I went back after our meal to contribute a well earned tip afterwards.

nice afternoon tea a little pricey for what you get but it was ok, i think you guys need more staff as never have the same server it all feels a bit rushed in there.

Visited a few times, not the cheapest for lunch but very good sized and all cooked fresh to order. Very covid safe and child friendly.

We visited Rosebourne this afternoon to take our parents out for the first time since March. Naturally they were a little anxious as they didn't know what to expect. We had booked a table for 3.00pm in the restaurant so they could enjoy coffee and cake. When we were seated I told the waitress that this was our parents first trip out. She told us she would give us a lovely comfortable table and sat us on table 6. It was lovely and a wonderful thing for her to do. Our coffee and scones were served promptly and enjoyed by us all. As our parents had vouchers to spend they then proceeded to the butchery dept and once again was treated so well by the lovely man behind the counter. All in all a lovely afternoon out for us all. They will be back. They still have vouchers to spend!! Thanks to all your lovely team. You are all amazing.

Came here with my husband and 2 small children, food was lovely! The Banana and chocolate bread was absolutely delicious. Staff were friendly and the best bit of all which really took me by surprise was while we were waiting for our food they brought out some toast on the house for my children to help keep them happy while we waited. A small gesture yet hugely appreciated, thank you!

Soo Good. I had full Breakfast. Mum had toasted fruit cake. Greeted soo well. Staff so professional & Friendly. Rosebourne has completely smashed it with All the Covid safety measures put in place. The food was awesome. We then visited the garden centre & food Hall. Where Also the Staff were soo welcoming & Friendly. The Displays Always look Soo Nice..The Butchers display looked brilliant.A fantastic place that I would Deffo Recommend. Great Work By All the Rosebourne Team.

First outing with covid measures in place and I can not fault them at all! Plenty of space, staff friendly and were all wearing face masks when serving food. Felt very safe and clean. It was a little difficult to hear the server when they took the order with a mask and screen in place which actually made us all laugh - very enjoyable experience overall with great food.

I have visit this garden center loads of times.it is really clean.and the restaurant is lovely.i went today my first meal out since the start of Covid 19.i was very impressed by the staff and food they really made me feel safe they have all The right precautions.it was a pleasure to visit. They do a really nice afternoon tea this time I’m going in August with my family for afternoon tea.well worth going

Reopened. Called in for breakfast after COVID reopening, well organised, they rang restaurant from main down to check if there was table. Straight through, disposable menu or QR, tables well spaced out & order & pay booths with screens. Poached eggs fab & extra hot water for my tea.

We visited the garden centre and farm shop on 20 may with my special needs son. This was his first day out since lockdown which was extremely anxious for him but we were treated with so much care and compassion . We queued at the garden centre first but was greeted by Gemma who was amazing and nothing was too much trouble for her and made our visit special and worry free. We then went to the farm shop which is amazing and once again the staff were exceptional and had so much time for us. Thank you so much for making our day so special and the staff are absolutely first class. We will definitely be coming back more often.

too be fair didnt eat within the restaurant, we bought 2 steak pasties too take out from the deli counter. not sure why they was labelled as steak as each pastie had 2 miniscule pieces of beef and packed out with potato and onion, would not recommend or buy again

Had a wonderful afternoon tea with my friend at rosebourne this afternoon, it was delicious and well presented! Service was excellent and we were served by a lovely polite waiter called Liam who made our time there very special. We will be back soon

5£ for a slice of dry cake. Drinks are cold by the time they come to you. But friendly staff. Expensive shop as well with a wide range of nice things but a little over priced.

At busy times you queue here for a while but hardly ever. It’s a lovely lively vibe in here and the staff are very efficient with their electronic ordering pads. The tea and coffee comes quickly and the food very shortly after ordering. I haven’t had anything that wasn’t tasty there , and I’m working my way through their menu!

Great find. We got recommended this place and happened across it whilst near Aldermaston. The service was great, we were sat within a few minutes and ordered our food and drinks. Overall the service was a little slow but the quality of food more than made up for it. It wasn’t overly expensive... the burger was about £10 and latte’s around £3. Highly recommended, delicious and I’ll be going back soon!

We've been to Rosebourne Garden Centre for lunch several times. Sometimes its excellent other times it's pleasant but not wow as in the last visit when we felt rushed. Our tea was Luke warm and so too was my Jacket Potato. The topping of crab and prawns in dressing was delicious but the side salad was scant and drooping. My friends wrap did not have enough filling and there were far too many chips which were not piping hot.After we tried another cup of tea it was still Luke warm. We had a portion of Victoria sponge which looked good but it was dry overly sweet and not freshly baked.So disappointed this visit but will still go back. Other choices whizzed by our table and they did look good. This is an expensive garden centre unfortunately there was little on display and sadly not a lot of flowers buy hey it is Winter after all.

Dropped in for a Sunday broke, and just blown away! Turned up at 9:20 to find the large Garden Centre restaurant nice and quiet. Service was quick, attentive yet subtle. Breakfast came quickly, was huuuge (Rosebourne Grill) and the tastiest in many a year. We'll definitely become regulars!

Just been for our gift of Afternoon Tea at Rosebourne Aldermaston. Sandwiches and Cakes were very nice and the presentation was lovely. However when we asked for another pot of tea this was chargeable at £2.50. I can honestly say with all the numerous afternoon teas I have had I have NEVER been charged for an extra cuppa! Thought it spoilt the essence of the Afternoon Tea!

An excellent choice of food and service to go with it makes it a must visit. We visit it mostly for food although the gift shop and nursery offer a wide variety of choices.

Tens of thousands of pounds worth of Christmas decorations but no leaf rakes. A garden centre, I don’t think so. Poor. At least keep basic garden equipment in stock surely.

Booked breakfast with Santa at Rosebournes for 14th Dec, and I have to say this is one of the best Santa experiences we have done, the whole thing was so well organised and managed from the moment we walked through the door. Children's food was pre ordered and was prompt out, followed by ours, the breakfast itself was so good and children got to spend time with Santa afterwards. The activity of decorating gingerbread was winning Definitely will be booking again next year!!!

Very well stocked establishment with all the festive knickknacks, expertly merchandised to say the least, and well stocked farm shop, all rather expensive for my liking.The cafe is a little bit chaotic to get seated, often a wait is needed.

Extensive lunch menu, waitress service was friendly and prompt. Food was good and nicely presented. Nice trip out to visit the farm shop and Christmas displays. The toilets were lovely and clean ! Always a good sign of a well run establishment.

The food is very nice. Portions are too large for me. Staff lovely and helpful. Good drink menu. Tends to be very busy during normal lunch times so could have a long wait. Rather expensive but good food .

Went for lunch with a friend, lovely area to eat waitress service, we have the jacket potato’s and they were the beat I have tasted whilst eating out, they came out hot well cooked and plenty of filling, good service and very reasonably priced will definitely go again

We visited on a Monday afternoon to look for Christmas decorations and have tea and a cuppa there is a good selection of cakes and scones including gluten free .it was table service and staff very friendly all 4 of us throughly enjoyed our treats 2 had carrot cake which was a huge slice .1 had traditional Victoria sponge and again a very generous portion ..i had a nice warm fruit scone with a little jar of jam ..... Christmas displays are luvly and bi8g selection of decorations and gifts. We will definitely return and try a lunch next time ....

First Christmas lunch if the season, 3 courses £25.99pp, £10 deposit required. Food was delicious e.g. Parsnip soup, turkey roast and black forest gateau/fig and goats cheese, cod loin with potatoes and greens and Christmas pudding. Other options including steak available. Pushchair friendly, accommodating staff (kept my food under the hotplate whilst I fed babba).

A lovely place to enjoy a wonder round , and have lunch. The service was very good, and the staff very friendly. Will be going again soon.

This is a very busy place, not personable, but nice staff who know what they are doing. Good table service and nice coffee

Although Rosebourne has been open for over a year (I think you opened on my birthday last year!), we've not been until today which is daft as we live about 2 miles away. We thought the menu was very extensive and the service was very good. The lady who served us, Imogen, was helpful and thoughtful. Our ginormous cheese scones arrived but our cappuccinos were in a queue (you were very busy today!) so she offered us some water to tide us over until our drinks arrived which we thought kind of her. The cheese scones were packed with cheese and the chutney and smoked cheese which accompanied them were delicious. We found all the staff welcoming and friendly, both in the restaurant and the store.

Have been to Rosebourne Garden Centre in Aldermaston a couple of times. The vegetables are lovely and we have got some really good meat there from the butchers - got a turkey at half price last year which was one of the best turkeys we have ever had. Well worth a visit.

Dropped in here for lunch on the way back from Reading. Had a jacket potato as did my friend. It was so filling I did not eat for the rest of the day. Service was prompt. Food delicious. Also had lunch with another friend two weeks ago and we shared the ploughman’s platter. More than enough for us both from the one plate.

Wasn’t sure how we would cope with two vegans and one vegetarian at Rosebourne garden centre cafe. Normally vegetarian, nowadays, is not a problem but vegan tends to be a bit hit and miss. Rosebourne offered a superfood salad, which was delicious: with a raspberry dressing over leaves, seeds, avocado and BNS chunks - excellent.

Thought we would try the Rosebourne for a second time to meet a friend and have lunch and it is the second time I have had to send my meal back as not described on the menu. Each time when highlighted that there were ingredients on my plate not in the description of the food; first time there was cheese in the chicken and bacon wrap and today peppers in the described 'mixed leaf salad'. Each time looked down at as if it was my fault - perhaps it is my fault I don’t like cheese or peppers - but that's why I check a menu and expect to get what is described on the menu, a mixed leaf salad is exactly that, mixed leaf. I was simply told well it’s all made in a big bowl and mixed up. Then all they did was take it back to the kitchen and dig the peppers out - not the solution, and then what was left was about 10 leaves still tasting of peppers and what appeared to be a teaspoon size of coleslaw along with a warm soggy jacket potato and a tasteless coronation chicken filling. From here it then appeared we were 'over looked' as sat with empty plates in front of us for 10 minutes before they were cleared, not once we were asked if everything was ok and as soon as they cleared the plates we asked or the bill. My friend and I both agreed we would not be eating there again.

Great food good service nice menu with plenty of choice we had 2 jacket potatoes with bacon mushroom and brie small side salad 1 water large bottle lemonade and a good boy beer very lovely

Went here with family including a two year old, very busy and had to wait for a table but was organised very efficiently by staff. My wife had enormous bowl of soup, my daughter had a good salad, her partner and I had the double burger which had a tomato relish which was very strong and left an aftertaste for the rest of the day, my granddaughter had the bacon and cheese toasted sandwich which was very light on filling. However not bad but not brilliant, the thing that stands out is the efficiency of the staff (although certain male staff who are very quick and almost run need teaching how to serve without reaching across people) and speed that the food comes from the kitchen.

What more can I say? I visited on Monday for lunch with my wife and my mother-in-law and today, Friday with my wife for a much needed coffee and cake break. On Monday there was a computer crisis but the efficiency of the management (owners) was amazing and the service simply excellent. Rosebourne is an excellent place to shop and eat. Probably the best Rocky Road ever! Rosebourne to put it simply, has a winning formula!

My son took us here on our visit it was fantastic the variety of produce and household items was fab the produce from local farms was amazing we bought a few things and I was surprised by the prices I was expecting them to be much higher ,I was impressed. Will definitely be going again.

What an amazing place, more than just a garden centre & had the most beautiful roast lunch with service exemplary - thank you Rosebourne, we will be back, kind regards, Nikkk, Pete, Doreen, Rebecca, Connor & Amy - Christmas displays are also spectacular !! Xx

Went for lunch with a friend very good choice on the menu food was very good and the staff were polite friendly and on the ball!! We were served by a lovely lady Catherine!!!Could not do enough for us!!!!

Went out for a lovely lunch with the family. We ordered all of our food and drinks at the same time.

Had been telling 2 friends how nice the nursery was and about the excellent restaurant and food available. So last week I treated them to lunch.

Great food, prefer lunch to breakfast. Love the garden centre and the great things you can buy. Looking forward to the Christmas decorations as they were amazing last year.

If you;re not happy with something, don't bother speaking to the Restaurant Manager, she is obviously on some kind of a power trip and acts as if she owns the place. Although the food is ok, she needs to remember that the place is not The Ritz so she can get off her high horse and stop talking down to people. She is a disgrace.

The food good, had a fish platter very tasty. However a bit too much salmon, would have been nice to have a different variety of fish. Still very tasty. Staff attentive.

Called in to the garden centre whilst on a visit to family. After getting our gardening needs sorted and as it was now lunchtime we decided to eat. So glad we did. It was very busy but is a large open area with lots of light. The staff are all very friendly and attentive. The food was excellent and varied with lots of items prepared in house. In addition to the normal garden centre and eatery there is an excellent "farmshop" run by Cook & Butcher providing some very nice items indeed. If you are in the area make sure you call in. You wont be disappointed.

Lovely garden centre new to the area in 2018. Has some beautifully different things for sale as well as a very large range of fresh foods. Lovely restaurant with very nice and helpful staff. Would highly recommend a visit.

Superb afternoon tea with something to suit everyone. Delicate triangle sandwiches - 5 different fillings, sprinkled with crisps and pea shoots. Small trifle in a shot glass. Scones with jam and clotted cream- chicory of fruit or plain scone. Chocolate cupcake with chocolate buttercream topping and mini strawberry tarts. Choice of tea or coffee and a ‘doggy bag’ cake box to take home the leftovers.

We visited during national afternoon tea week, when Rosebourne were offering two free complementary glasses of Prosecco (presumably to also attract customers during the quieter August period). We have generally found the service to be a little hit and miss here on our visits since the store opened in October last year. This occasion proved to be no exception. Our order was taken quickly and we said we would like the afternoon tea with the Prosecco (rather than the orange juice alternative). Two well filled glasses (175ml each) arrived quickly, there was a bit of a wait for the food, which wasn’t a problem but then no tea. To cut a long story short, the waitress did not put the tea order through on her electronic device because she thought the Prosecco was being offered as an alternative to tea! We did then get the tea eventually (and thankfully weren’t charged additionally for it).

Having heard good things about Rosebourne we came away distinctly disappointed, had lunch & drinks ate Mediterranean Chicken - which was a dry breast of chewy chicken covered in mixed herbs - didn’t taste appetising had to advise staff it was chewy (unusual for chicken breast) quality so poor I didn’t take left over breast home for the dog.

We visited for Sunday breakfast this wkd. The café was extremely busy due to its popularity however we were seated almost immediately and our orders were taken promptly by the waitress. We ordered Rosebourne Grills and a Vegan breakfast. The food was plentiful, delicious and well presented, the best breakfast we have had in a long time. Staff are very polite and the price of the meals very reasonable. A massive thumbs up from all of us.

Came for a quick lunch, seated straight away and lunch on the table within 15 mins. Amazing service and a calming atmosphere. The high ceilings allow for you to feel peaceful even whilst the restaurant is unbelievably busy. Portion sizes are big so prepare your stomach. Definitely worth the visit though.

Ordered a coffee cake and the portion size was massive, with a coffee. However most of the coffee had been spilt into the saucer. So mentioned this to the server and she poured the coffee from the saucer back into the cup. Not what I was expecting...

In the end we decided to have a toasted sandwich, both were fine but the chips that accompanied them were luke warm and really not very tasty. Inexpensive at £16 for the two of us but we wouldn’t bother to eat here again.

This is our first day of our holiday on the Kennet and Avon canal and it’s raining! So we went to Rosebourne’s for breakfast and to wait for the rain to stop, and it was delicious!

We have been to Rosebourne several times for lunch over the past few months as my mother in law is in a care home nearby. What can I say? The food is superb and the service is second to none. I have watched with interest the efficiency demonstrated by Sophie the Restaurant manager and I just wish I had staff as efficient and as effective as her. The way she carefully manages her staff and keeps eveything running is simply brilliant. She is an absolute asset to Rosebourne.

A first visit for some plants and stayed for lunch. Amazing garden centre and food shop, hard to resist! Good selection of plants and we'll stocked, and staff around to ask too for help. Lovely lunch and good service. I too would like a cheaper children's drink than £3, more than our coffees! Sure you can do that. Will definitely be calling in again.

very disappointing, and have to say the scones were hard and dry, although sold as fruit scones there were only too pieces in each scone.

Visited here recently for lunch. There were three of us and our choices ranged from a steak ciabatta, to a fish platter, and ham, egg and chips. All dishes were very tasty and if appropriate nice and hot. My sister and I had one of the sharer pudding platters. The quality of food on it was very good and it was great value for money. The restaurant is table service and it did get very busy around peak lunchtime but everything seemed under control and waiting times to receive our food etc were all fine. We all enjoyed our meal and would definitely return.

We visited today for breakfast after a family member recommended the restaurant. Really good vegetarian breakfast in pleasant surroundings with lovely staff.

We had visited the other garden centre near Andover came here for a change. The food was as expected just the same excellent.

Just had a lovely breakfast! Perfect poached eggs and locally sourced bacon sandwich. Service was quick and staff very friendly and helpful.

Lovely cakes and a great selection, along with really good coffee and hot chocolates! The service was very good and the staff are really friendly. Like that they use local suppliers and that you can buy their stuff in the shop too to take home

Another visit for a 'Light Lunch' and a similar experience to our last visit. On the plus side the ham , egg and chips were of good quality but the grilled 'Italian' chicken focaccia sandwich was about as Italian as a Cornish pasty. It lacked in flavour and the chicken filling was extremely bland.

I have visited this restaurant a number if times before and i am pleased to say that i am never disappointed the greet me with a friendly welcome which i really appreciate.

First visit to this garden centre. There was a great restaurant with a good choice on the menu. Prices for a sandwich seemed expensive but came with salad and chips. The cake selection was obscene!!! Huge pieces and yummy. Plant selection varied, some if not seen at other garden centres. Prices reasonable as well. Well worth a visit.

Rosebourne is advertised as a garden centre, it is not. It is a rather good restaurant with garden centre attached. It appears that the seating area has been expanded to accommodate a regular and happy clientelle. We shall return. Soon.

Not just the shop the restaurant fantastic. Good food friendly service Especially Jennie when she knew it was my husbands birthday she even gave him a birthday card I am really impressed wiil certainly be going back regularly

Good supply of local produced food , well stocked shop of interesting items. good supply of fresh plants at reasonable prices. Staff very helpful. Enjoyed my afternoon tea and cake.

Had a lush breakfast I had a full fry up kids had a mini one each- husband had eggs royale and the eggs were poached perfectly, it’s clean spacious and fab quick efficient table service!

Have been here twice recently and really enjoyed the experience. It's easy to find and there's plenty of parking.

Had a very enjoyable afternoon tea here, decaffeinated tea is available plus a gluten free option. The only criticism would be that the scones were a bit dry and the chocolate tart was too rich for even a chocoholic like myself!

Arrived, very quickly seen too and shown to a table. Then it all went down hill sat for about 20 mins with no one coming over to us to take our order so had to grab someone’s attention. Ordered afternoon tea with one request to change the Grated cheese, tomato concasse & spring onions bound with mayonnaise sandwich for the cheese and tomato sandwich (On vegetarian option, even though they are both vegetarian) The waiter didn’t believe this to be a problem but as it had to put through phone point of sale system he had to go to his manager to aid him putting it in, he then returned saying that it’s all okay.

Most - all? - of the reviews here are about the restaurant, but there's far more to Rosebourne at Aldermaston than that. However I can't find any TripAdvisor reviews for its other aspects: food hall, gift department, garden centre.

Lovely lunch & friendly efficient service. had the coronation chicken sandwich with fries which was delicious. Very quick service & friendly .Will definitely come back soon

Had a lovely afternoon today at Roseboure Restaurant. Had a kind welcome from a lady who took us to our table. The star of the day was Jack he had a friendly manner and went out of his way to make us feel welcome. He has made today 8th May a real positive experience and we will be back again soon.

Great lunch at Rosebourne. Staff very helpful. Had great service today. Baked potatoes with prawns lovely, coronation chicken was nice but could have done with a little more flavouring. Finished with lemon meringue and coffee. Cream teas looked amazing as they passed by us. Lively atmosphere and always busy. Will definitely go back to eat. It’s a great place for a Sunday visit!!

We were in the area and had an hour or so to spare at lunchtime, so visited for lunch and a wander around. We found it all very average. Nothing in the garden centre or gift department that you can’t buy elsewhere. The restaurant food and service was acceptable but nothing special. A lot of staff chatting amongst themselves. All in all it was no different to any other garden centre.

Have eaten here three times. The first time it was really good & service was excellent.
