Rushfields Cafe in Mid Sussex

Excellent choice from the lunch menu. Very well prepared and served to table. No fuss and reasonable prices too! Thank you.

A garden centre, cafe and farm shop. Rushfield's is arguably one of the best in the Brighton area and in this part of Sussex. We frequently go for a light meal and coffee. The service is always excellent; even more now that they have extended their opening times and hired more staff. The plant shop is good with a very good selection of plants but is a little on the expensive side. The farm shop, however is second to none with an extremely good and large selection of goods, ranging from vegetables to meat, cereals, frozen food,etc.,etc.,etc. Thoroughly recommend a visit!

Gave up on this place because of a rude staff member a few years ago but decided to give it another try. We won't go back again. We could see free tables inside but we were left waiting outside queuing with staff ignoring us. It would only have taken a polite acknowledgement that we were there and to say they wouldn't be long. We had seen other customers remove the barrier and walk into the cafe and seat themselves. Eventually we thought we'd do the same only to be told by a waitress to return to the queue and wait to be called in. Needless to say we left and had a lovely lunch at Newbridge garden centre, Horsham.

The coffee is good, lovely cakes but what really makes it is the staff and how cheerful and friendly they are. I was here with my Mum who had to use a wheelchair and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful in getting us seated and served.

Often go to Rushfields cafe for coffee or lunch but must say on our last visit the coffee was quite frankly awful. It was bitter and the frothy milk was more or less non existent. I think the mature lady on drink making duties was either stressed because they were busy or having a bad day. The menu needs a serious revamp as it’s very limited and has effectively been the same for many years. It strikes you as somewhere who seems satisfied to cater for its regulars but could easily expand the choices with a little imagination.

Bad service, bad decor, bad dilapidated toilets. Lots of staff but no one to take your order ! Very unprofessional… we left the caffe and had a wonderful lunch elsewhere.

Third time I've been here to eat. I go to the garden centre now just for the food, specifically the bacon bap. Think it's the best I've ever had. Not sure how you can improve on it. Chips were perfect and Sausage bap was also good (but not as good as the Bacon). Even the ketchup is classy, no Heinz here! 11 out of 10.

We visited Rushfields Garden Centre (twice in same week) - for walk around the garden centre, followed by 'brunch' and 'lunch'. On both occasions, we were served by extremely polite team members, nothing was too much trouble - especially for me (in a wheelchair) and wife (being Gluten intolerant). When we next return to mid-Sussex, we will be re-visiting Rushfields Garden Centre and the Cafe. Anyone visiting the local area, we highly recommend you visit this location!!

Mindless service - waitress comes along to tell you where to seat. You then wait 10 minutes for a different waitress to take your order. Oh well, I suppose that 'rules are rules. :

We enjoyed a cafetière and a bacon bap - good quality bacon and a lovely fresh bap. Inside and outside seating with friendly and efficient staff. A nice way to start the day… Recommended!

Still a nice place as it always has been, but the attitude of one extremely rude man serving in the cafe was totally unacceptable. Indeed as we walked out one of the female staff gave us an apology and so it clearly was not just us.

We often go to Rushfeilds for shopping in the farm shop, as it has a great selection of food and drink etc. We then usually end up in the cafe. The service is customer friendly and fairly quick. One thing that they should fix is when eating in their outside section is that bloody sliding door that people and staff open and close. Its a heavy metal door. It is really noisy and disrupting when its being opened and closed constantly by staff and customers. I am sure they could get something better and quieter. Other than that great place.

Enjoyed a first class breakfast here a while ago: this time dropped in for a light lunch. Fab bacon bap with brilliant chips - must be tried. Service is friendly and efficient and there’s seating indoors and out. Recommended.

This place is utterly amazing! The food is always outstanding & the cakes are delicious too with lots of variety. Best fish & chips & scones anywhere in Sussex by a mile definitely check it out.

Thought we'd try lunch at the café for a change. Not much on offer for a vegetarian friendly café at all. Opted for the jacket potato with prawns. Very expensive and the potato had been warmed up many times. My oh had the ploughman's lunch which looked ok but for £12 wasn't enough for the price. Disappointed and won't be returning.

Poor stock of plants, little variety, indifferent staff. Cafe closes at 4:30pm and when we arrived at 4:20pm, we were made to feel very unwelcome. General depressing atmosphere

Popular, and hence often busy, but tasty offerings and decent service in setting of a good garden centre and adjacent farm shop (plus fresh fish in the car park twice a week).

We arrived at 9.10 and the cafe was about a third full, some of whom were already eating. Twenty minutes later we finally got to order food and drinks, although the person taking the orders was going to the table next to us who came in at least ten minutes after us. They were in a hurry and decided they couldn’t wait any longer when we pointed out we’d been waiting quite a while and would really like to be served. Drinks took another ten minutes to arrive and finally 45 minutes after we first sat down our food arrived. The staff were friendly, the food was good, but the service is random and very poorly organised, the staff have no idea who should be served next or how long they’ve been waiting....we will go elsewhere next time.

We arrived just before the lunch rush and what was on display and on the menu looked promising. Sadly our experience was not a great one. Only one person is allowed to take orders for around 16 outside plus 16 inside tables. This person is also greeting and seating people whilst 5 other staff (not including the 2 chefs and one kitchen porter), meet and greet, clean tables, sort cutlery, make drinks and deliver food. Consequently we waited quite some time before we could order (we did ask once if we could order but were informed of the above policy). Having run a kitchen of 3 staff with 3-4 waiting staff and up to 70 covers per service I suggested to the person allowed to take orders that just one more of the waiting staff also taking orders might be helpful. I quite rudely told that this was how they did it and any other way would 'back up' the kitchen. Perhaps a question of organisation rather than staffing? It's a shame and not a great reflection on the rest of the staff who were very pleasant - if limited in what they are allowed to do. It's unlikely we'll return.

Officious service in the cafe. Covid rules understood but Unaccommodating when safe request made. Not welcoming at all!!!

We stopped by for mid morning tea and tea cake which was lovely. Staff were lovely and attentive. What put me off was the person at the next table with a dog on their lap cutting up sausages on a plate and letting the dog...

popped in to rushfields for lunch starving and feeling chilly with my daughter . Asked for a table indoors to warm up and have a nice hot lunch , was told sorry only tables for four people left . I suggested we would order plenty...

Never been before and won’t be going again I asked if I could just have a ham salad wasn’t expecting a feast but what was on my plate was like a salad garnish with very little ham . If you like coleslaw you’ll do well...

My daughter took my husband to this cafe today for his Father’s Day cream tea (we know it’s a day early!). They came back to say it was delicious and that Rushfields cafe could teach those in Devon a thing or two about cream teas...

I do love this garden centre, I like most garden centres. at the beginning of this year 2021 someone told me to get out, no reflection on the garden centre no one was like that with me when someone took me to here, got me...

My partner and I visited here for lunch and was very warmly welcomed. We asked for the tomato soup however they came back saying they had sold out and had sweet potato soup - which was absolutely delicious. Just before we left a lovely lady...

Fabulous, as always. Covid-19 precautions in place and excellent table service. Farm shop and plant selection impeccable quality

We regularly visit Rushfields Farmshop and use their cafe which has always offered table service. However on 2 occasions now we have been seated and informed the Waiter/ Waitress will be back in 2 minutes to take our order. The 1st time this happened one...

We had a coffee and cake here. such friendly service. They are protecting customers and staff very well by having excellent hygiene regime and distanced serving. We love visiting and have done for many years and so pleased that we are able to return to...

Every week for lunch we take the opportunity to visit the café at Rushfields Garden Centre. Each time we go we are greeted with great warmth by all the staff. The food is excellent and so are all the staff, which is why we keep...

Had lovely tomato soup for lunch. Staff super friendly and can see dogs are allowed in the external part of cafe (conservatory area) . Would recommend as all food looks great here!

We bustled in just after lunch during half term - four adults and four children. The staff were very accommodating and pushed tables together for us before providing the children with books and colouring. The coffee was very good and the cakes were great. Perhaps...

Having left a disappointing pub at the local beauty spot, my disabled parents and I needed a cuppa. The staff at Rushfields were genuinely welcoming and even provided table service at their cafe. I really cannot praise them enough. After cake n cappuccino, we felt...

Had lunch here, sausage sandwiches, we asked for them to be well cooked, they turned up warm to hot but very undercooked, plain thin sliced brown breed with the sausage in, no frills.. very very basic for the price. Chips hot but greasy. Nice staff...

Nothing special about this restaurant. Waited a fair while for someone to realise we were there.Prices are far too high especially cake and small slices for the high price.

Food was lovely. Staff very helpful and were knowledgeable of ingredients of foods as we have a allergy sufferer in our party

Visited for a weekend brunch. Food was delicious, coffee spot on, and the service faultless. We will be back!

We only had sandwiches, bread was stale, only a thin coat of margarine on one side of the bread.My filling was wedges of cheese not grated and couldn’t find the red onion filling.Prawns were tasteless and very watery, cost was over £20, won’t be visiting again.

What a great little spot this is, came here the other day for lunch and was really happy with everything, the food was fantastic and the service was very lovely, such a nice welcoming place to eat, coffee great too, thanks Rushfields team and management, I’ll be returning soon!

On our way down to Brighton we found this lovely garden centre quite by chance. A tea break was needed and we got so much more.

Four of us stopped here for lunch. The prawn marie rose sandwiches that two of us had were excellent, full of prawns and very tasty. I had a fish finger sandwich which was excellent and served with an excellent salad. The last member of our group had a bacon sandwich which had very good bacon in it. Staff excellent.

Unfriendly and excessive number of staff at cafe. They seemed very annoyed when only my mother had a cup of tea and not myself although we had just sat down very quickly after visiting the garden centre. One rude older waitress then came over and very loudly announced that the cafe was closing which woke up my sleeping baby. I’m quite sure it was intentional...

My first time at this Plant Centre. A choice of inside and out although both are under cover! The Breakfast menu is very straightforward and comprehensive, with vegetarian choices.

This cafe is brilliant. if only there could be one of these a few miles off every motorway!! The staff, service, food and drinks are all of the quality. We turned up at 08.58 on a Saturday morning for breakfast, having checked that they opened at 09.00 and there were already a few tables taken. By 09.30 it was busy, so that says it all doesn't it? I would certainly deviate and go out of my way to visit again. The bonus is that you can then visit the garden centre and the fabulous farm shop on site too and even order and buy a garden cabin, which we did!!

Often call in here and would recommend as place to relax, slight reservation as dogs only allowed in one area and in colder months this is a disadvantage so tend to only go when warm days Also they operate table service approach and even if checking out the main service counter they will usually ask you to sit down and wait for a person to take your order Which if just a coffee and cake is abit irritating However staff mostly friendly and helpful and dogs offered a treat So if it is warm have no reservations in recommending

This is a garden center that my wife and I visit regularly each week for lunch at the cafe. Its certainly worth a visit.

This place is wonderful and has so much appeal to it. The farm shops are stunning. The food is great and never had bad service. Quick, efficient and supportive.

Came here with my wife for a couple of bits and decided on a late lunch/early dinner. We had the pie of the day, and sausages, both with mash and veg. We were surprised just how good the quality was. The pie (Meat & Ale) must rate as one of the best I have had in a long time, the pastry was not overbearing, another was plenty of meat. The veg was crisp, fresh, and varied. Service was friendly and everything looked clean.

We have had lunch at Rushfields before but had only sandwiches etc. - this time we decided to choose from the specials boards that are clearly displayed on the back wall. We both chose : Grilled Chicken with Roasted shallots , black pudding with toasted almonds and apple oil. The plates arrived promptly but we soon discovered that the dish we were given did not contain shallots and one had just one toasted almond kernel. The shallots had been replaced by salad leaves of baby spinach and frisee endive. Not what we expected . The endive was in large sections and was characteristically tough and virtually impossible to cut. The chicken was very dry breast slices that had been seared on a griddle - this too was hard to eat. Luckily we had tea to help wash down the food . We eat out a good deal and understand that the last servings at lunch can be a bit hit and miss but this was in the 12:30 to 1pm

We were 4 for lunch yesterday (09/05/2019), and looking forward to a cracking good meal.

It never dawned on me to go here for breakfast until I saw it pop up on TripAdvisor. Boy, am I glad we did! We had family guests for the weekend and tried breakfast here to start the day. It was wonderful!! Lovely to sit outside but under cover and chose from the excellent menu. The service was very good and efficient. Food was prepared and served in super-quick time and I have to say the coffee is possibly some of the best I've ever had out - so much more tasty than the coffee chains. For 4 breakfasts and tea/coffee the bill was £44 which I thought very good value for money. Smooth avocado and poached eggs on toast was lovely and tasty. As a personal preference, the eggs were over-cooked. Otherwise, it really was very, very good.

Good food, lovely service. always very helpful. found a hair in food and they gave me a whole new dish.

My partner & I attended Rushfields cafe recently. It was 2:10pm on a weekday, and we were seated & given the menu. It said that customers could order cream teas from 2pm, and so we asked for the advertised cream teas with fruit scone option. However, we were told that the fruit scones had sold out. Odd considering that we were no more than 10 minutes into the cream tea serving period and there were no more than 5 fellow customers in the cafe - none appearing to be eating scones. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the first time that this anomaly has occurred at Rushfields, and friends have also mentioned experiencing a similar event from time to time. Maybe if Rushfields finds it difficult to fulfil an advertised menu offer, they should consider removing the offer altogether ? Always better to meet your customers expectations than to repeatedly disappoint....

Fine for a cuppa but for more well think a look in the area might be a good move just depends on long you have to look around

Stopped to visit the garden centre as we were passing & decided to have lunch. We both went for a sausage sandwich which was fantastic. The service was really good and the order was taken very quickly. The drinks & then the food arrived quickly and the quality was outstanding. Highly recommend a visy

Love visiting the cafe at Rushfields, the farmers breakfast is super tasty. Great selection of cakes. Friendly service :-)

Great staff. Great food. Would recommend the cheesey charmer. Easy place to find and has a great choice of hot and cold drinks. As well as alcoholic ones.

We normally pop in for drinks and cake which are always great. The staff are very attentive and you can sit outside under the patio heaters if you have your dog with you. Nothing is too much trouble for them, and the food menu looks amazing.

on way back from woking, decided to cut through Henfield and found this! Friendly staff, great food, one of the best coffee's we have tasted. Also has an amazing farm shop AND is coupled with a garden center.What is there not to like?

Very nice place to have a coffee with friends the breakfast is fantastic, my only quibble is the cappuccino is served way to hot and turns the coffee bitter it should be around 85 degrees for a good coffee.

They served a wide range of foods to suit many palettes. By 12:30pm, they had already sold out of some of their specials! Every time we visit, the food improves....we visit about 3 times per year. Really scrummy!

We came with our dog for lunch and sat outside. It's a very nice area and you can look out at the plants for sale.

I must have driven past Rushfield's many times without it registering but then two people mentioned their cafe to me in glowing terms within as many days so I dropped in for lunch. And I was not disappointed.

Visited for breakfast, food was fantastic and service was great. Also very child friendly with toy sets provided to keep kids occupied while waiting for the food.

A couple of mistakes made with the order but quickly rectified by the friendly staff. Food good, but options limited until the lunch service starts at 11:45

Visited for breakfast. Good quality food. Very friendly welcoming staff, who unusually for a garden centre, serve you at the table. Have to say, all of the garden centre staff ate really friendly. Lovely experience. Well done

s' Morgens uitgebreid ontbijt in een rustig, hondvriendelijk kader. Zowel continentaal als lokaal kom je zeker aan je trekken. Bediening aan tafel door zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel.

Food is really good, mostly local produce, sausages and the pie range really are worth a try! Service good and coffee very nice

We had an absolutely wonderful lunch, the staff were attentive without being intrusive, the food was lovely and fresh and very reasonable, the place was clean and tidy with the staff wiping down as soon as someone had finished, will definitely be going back

Much better Menu today. We enjoyed 1 gluten free one Vegan and one tiny appetite meal. Lovely day but we sat inside it was cooler. Good coffee too.

Visited Rushfields several times before but first time today with some friends. Had a lovely lunch, friends daughter mentioned she will be 9 tomorrow and the manager could not do enough for us, out came a Birthday banner and then a surprise cake ! Really unusual and tasty food on the menu, not like a garden centre restaurant at all. Would totally recommend

Love this cafe, and it’s farm shop and garden centre. They are family run, with high ethical standards for the local produce. The meat is lovely calls sourced, pies also, and there are lovely Sussex cheeses. We’ve had great breakfasts in the cafe, the bacon is amazing and of course the eggs are local and free range too. Staff are friendly and helpful. Lunches can be small snacks or crab from the nearby coast, all great. Love this place!

This is a lovely cafe. Well, more than just a cafe as they do delicious lunches. Their coffee is very good, especially the decaf latte. They have a good range of cakes including some gluten free. They do breakfasts up until 11.30 and a great choice of things for lunch ranging from soup, sandwiches and toasties, salads, jacket potatoes and yummy specials written up on blackboards. I had avocado and mushroom on toast with grilled tomatoes, pea shoots and tomato and chilli jam. So tasty. Get there early as the specials seem to sell out quite quickly, not surprisingly as they are really good. And if you sit outside (it's under cover) you can take your dog, gravy bone biscuits provided!

Popped into the cafe after shopping in the farm shop, so glad we did, was greeted by a lovely lady who welcomed us and bought us over the menus, we ordered a cream tea, it was so well presented (hotel quality) if not better...absolutely delicious scones and the Clotted cream was so thick and yummy, and not forgetting a pot of good strong tea...will be back soon as I would like to try their afternoon tea!! It is well run by friendly & attentive staff

Ordered sausage sandwich and tomatoes on toast with two teas Fantastic value at £10.45 and it was waitress serving and ordering. The sausages are fab with great ketchup.

We needed some food on the way home from shopping and dropped in the garden centre cafe. Really good food served quickly and hot. Coffee really good food good value. Also spent time in garden centre

Wife and I ordered two meals but only wife's fish platter was served. On questioning this with waiter his attitude implied it was our mistake and my order would only just be implemented and I would have to wait in a queue. When my steak pie arrived it was a small shop bought affair accompanied by a splodge of mashed potato and an eggcupful of peas.. Neither meal was good quality and in our opinion overpriced.

Went to the cafe at Rushfields with my daughter. Had a lovely crispy baon seeded roll, with a hot cappucino, a slice of chocolate fudge cake and coffee and walnut cake (cakes lovely and fresh), Would definitely return.

I love this garden centre - its such a nice place to visit. Generally the café has a great menu and good staff. I must say though as I visit very regularly - I am getting fed up. Three times now having to send back breakfast as it is cold. When its returned the bacon has been nuked and unrecognisable - you do need to invest in either new equipment or cook to order I'm happy to wait for freshly cooked breakfast. So even after the moan I am still rating as Very Good - but PLEASE sort this out. Kind regards and keep up the good work X

We were taken by friends and were initially a little underwhelmed at the suggestion of eating there, but food and service was surprisingly good and the kitchen is run on very professional lines! Already a very good garden centre, Rushfields also has a very extensive farm shop offering everything from local fresh meats to cheeses and a whole range of fruit and veges together with a good selection of local wines and gift ideas. So well worth a visit to enjoy a bit of last minute shopping and to grab a decent meal!

As always it's the service that makes it. Good garden centre specialising in bedding plants. Farm shop with genuine living butcher Superb position at base of New Timber Down, 10 minutes from edge of Brighton & Hove via Devil's Dyke. and 5 minutes from M23....

happened upon this garden centre just by chance, the cafe is so quirky just loved it. We only had time for a coffee and slice of cake which was dlicious. Certainly will revisit, staff were very charming and appeared to love their job. Well worth a visit.

Nice garden centre but varied service. Sometimes we visit and the service is quick and friendly. Other days we come and food takes longer and staff are snappy. The gardens are nice but the farm shop is a bit overpriced

this is a great place to eat have never had a bad meal here and love that the menu changes as well as having some staple meals the staff are great and have the tables cleaned straight away after customers leave you can have a wait for your meal at busy times but you should expect that and the cakes and scones look lovely

Popped in for a spot of Sunday Lunch and ordered the pie. Absolutely delicious. Chicken and ham pie with heritage carrots, cheesy mash, green beans and a red wine and red onion reduction .It is the first time in years that I savoured everything individually on the plate all perfectly seasoned and lovingly presented. Tempted by the puds but really so enjoyed the main it would have distracted my taste buds. I will try the beef version next time or veggie both looked good. A gem of a garden centre experience and I have been told the breakfasts are equally worth the trip over Devils Dyke.

Excellent service and good range of food on offer at reasonable prices. Some food from their own farm shop which is very good. Staff service always very good as well.

I have been here a number of times, the setting is lovely and it's lovely to sit outside under the covered glass and people watch and it's dog friendly! I would really recommend their farmhouse breakfast which includes lovely local sausages, would be less likely to recommend their scrambled eggs and smoked salmon as the eggs were a little overdone and slightly on the cool side. However, on the whole, a lovely experience to come here for breakfast and the staff are always very helpful and friendly.

Rushfields Cafe can be very good sometimes but on my last visit it was very disappointing due to slow service and the not very helpful attitude of one member of staff. We go here fairly frequently and have enjoyed the fact that the café has recently upped its game and started producing far more interesting meals which are cooked fresh and delivered to the table. The menu is much more tempting - lovely salads and platter boards - and there is certainly a lot more choice. The food on offer is more 'trendy' than it was before - and it is always very tasty and nicely presented. We have noticed though that the staff do almost always seem to be quite stressed, even though most of them are friendly and helpful. On our last visit we arrived just before 1.00 and were seated and a very friendly waitress took our drinks orders while we looked at the menu. We gave our food order to a male waiter a few minutes later and were issued with a receipt which clearly showed what time the order had been put through to the kitchen. We waited. We waited some more. During this time people who had ordered after us had already got their meals. After nearly 40 minutes I intercepted the waiter who had taken our order and very politely asked him how much longer our food would be. He snapped back at me "It's all cooked to order, we are not a fast food outlet you know", to which I replied that as both our meals were salads it shouldn't have taken very long to produce. Rather than apologising he became increasingly defensive and said "It would take 20 minutes to get your food ready" to which I replied that nearly 40 minutes had passed. He then insisted that I show him my food order receipt to try and prove me wrong about the timing. He of course had to concede after looking at it that my time estimation was correct and I wasn't imagining things. No word of an apology but he flounced off in the direction of the kitchen to find out where our food was and came back a few minutes later to tell us that our dishes would be "the next ones out" in a very abrupt manner. After the food was eventually delivered, having been very defensive and (to my mind) discourteous and rude over the time delay, he changed his attitude completely - coming past our table every few minutes asking if everything was alright!Now, I don't expect things to go right all the time and I am well aware that there can be delays when an eaterie is busy but what I really object to is the defensive and bullish attitude of the member of staff who refused to acknowledge that in fact we had waited 40 minutes for two salads (both of which were very nice once we got them). The management need to have a word with their staff about how to respond when customers have any form of complaint - they will lose a lot of regular customers if staff continue to speak to people in the way this waiter did to us.Finally - my salad came with a bottle of absolutely delicious balsamic vinegar and because I liked it so much I bought a bottle of, allegedly, the same stuff in the farm shop but on opening it at home it is nothing like what I was served in the restaurant and tastes like sugar syrup which, at nearly £5 a bottle, was immensely disappointing and a huge waste of money.

Nice relaxing place to stop for a coffee, a very enjoyable lunch, or afternoon tea.Food's of a good standard and the eating areas are kept in good order.An all-round pleasant experience.

At a time when pubs and restaurants all seem to have gone mad with prices what a brilliant find Rushfields Cafe is for lunch.Very big portions and a very good selection of main courses largely based on their own pies and meat.A FANTASTIC Hot chocolate brownies with ice cream to round off (if you have room).Good and friendly service.Do try it.

Visited the Rushfield farm shop yesterday and had lunch in the cafe. Table service now, good menu.Prawn jacket potatoes superb and service very fast.

Have been coming to this garden centre for years but never stopped here for anything to eat until the other day. Just wanted a bowl of soup which was curried vegetable which was very nice good and hot and spicy served with a decent hunk of wholemeal bread.Its now table service here and we had a friendly and helpful server.Ideal place for lunch a varied menu to suit all!

The food was fine, scones and coffee. Had to wait 20 minutes for our order and when it arrived the waiter,i use that term very loosely, plonked the drinks and scones at one end of the table so we had to pass them along. The cutlery was thrown down and wrapped in tissues.One of our ladies had soup and she asked if their is a soup spoon. The grumpy 'waiter' said in an abrupt manner 'have you looked in the cutlery', Also there was no option for Flora as butter was placed on all the plates. Would not eat there again.

I often come into Rushfields for something to eat after a mornings voluntary work at a local school with my reading dog Bella. The younger children gain confidence in their reading when they read to Bella on a one to one basis. The prawn sandwich accompanied with a very good salad was lovely and so is their pot of tea. Bella is always offered water and a biscuit. Brought a lovely Rushfield rose and two other plants which were carried to the till and then to my car as I walk with a stick. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff at Rushfields .

Four of us went to Rushfields for lunch. We ordered coffee, various sandwiches and cake etc. The food was good but we did have to wait a while for our orders to be taken and then for the food to come.

The food is always very pleasant with locally sourced products they serve a great choice of light to larger lunches with a specials & desert board.Plenty of choice.Inside and outside seating with dogs allowed externally.A must if your passing.

Passing by so popped in for a wander around the garden centre and decided to stop for lunch. Warm welcome. Very good lunch menu. I had a feta & spinach flan with salad and a very good potato salad and my friend went for a meat platter which was nicely presented. Very good apparently! A pot of tea went own very well with the food. No room for desert although the cakes looked very inviting we resisted.Will definitely return, maybe for afternoon tea.

A party of 14 of us arrived and had forgotten to book! We were made incredible welcome, received super service with a smile. I loved my lunch and everybody seemed happy to tuck into theirs. Smoked salmon, cream cheese bagels with a lovely mixed salad really filled me up but a fresh slice of lemon drizzle cake completed the deal.There's something there for everyone, plus super plants, indoor and outdoors and a farm shop. Can't wait to go back. Thank you, Rushfields, for such a wonderful experience.

Doing your garden, stop off here,walk around, get your gardening items and stop off for a cup of tea and slice of great cake. You can also pick something up from the Farm shop.. great staff always willing to help and give a great service...

Great for a bite to eat while plant shopping, the food is a cut above normal garden centre fare, with best quality local produce among the ingredients. All our meals were lovely and the staff are kind and attentive.
