Seasons Garden Centre in Kettering

First time i came to get a tank i wasnt impressed by a lady that served us, didnt know her facts however went to get my beta yest and oh my! The guy was so good, helped me a lot and gave me info about how to start my life with our little fighter and was very efficient!

Was disappointed in the portion sizes as they have seemed to halved. But prices have gone up. We had to hunt around for cutlery, glasses and sauces. Needs better organisation

Food is over priced for what you get. Staff always friendly though .

The portions are not great, not worth the money

Wonderful customer service. Bought a patio set and they had it delivered to us in two hours. Well done. Sales rep was very knowledgeable and friendly.

The food is lovely. We love Bob and Jojo the parrots. We like that we can get good quality tropical fish too.

Really good place enjoyed our visit there plenty to see and they have a good cafe.

Good clean tidy friendly staff. Cash and card accepted food hygiene certificate in window. Disabled persons friendly with step free access. Great indoor DIY section with a good selection of Good clean tidy friendly staff. Cash and card accepted food hygiene certificate in window. Disabled persons friendly with step free access. inside.

Sadly the lady in the cafe was quite unfriendly as we had arrived after hot food was being served. Managed to get drinks and a couple of dry scones. Nice selection of home goods and books.

So many better garden centres within a 10 mile radius.. the blonde woman serving at the cafe was miserable! Needs to get a different job and looked fed up.

Sadly the cafe has deteriorated considerably. Dirty floor, tables etc that is in sight of customers. What would it look like out of view where food is prepared. The coffee is aweful and a waste of money. Such a shame this used to be very popular.

Unbelievable, inflexible jobsworthism means lost customers. We ordered scrambled eggs on toast at 12 noon on the dot - the cut-off point for breakfast. 'No', we were told - despite eggs, bacon, sausage etc being available on all - day menu items. There was no queue, we were the only people at the counter. So we cancelled the whole order and went to Bunty's Tea Room nnearby. What a shame - a proactive flexible approach would have avoided this negative experience

Please bring back the roast dinner carvery, what you served in place of that was TERRIBLE. We would come every Sunday just for your delicious carvery but now when we do visit it’s more for the garden centre. I don’t understand why you have replaced good food with slop, I’m certain you will lose a lot of customers because of this.

really disappointed in this business. not allowing Tuition vehicles into car park. Used to spend over 500 a year here with toilet breaks, dinner, xmas pressies and garden things. don't go anymore

Always a friendly place to visit and eat.

Lovely plants, parrots and fish

Gosh, I was shocked how much this place has gone downhill. The cafe seemed short staffed, no organisation, dirty tables, and it felt cold in there. They don’t do barista made drinks - It’s all automated from a machine & the milk in the machine is UHT which doesn’t taste nice, I left my coffee & won’t be going again - there are much nicer places for food and drinks. The garden centre seems to be running down the stock. It looked half empty. Some nice little gift items but it all looks like it needs a revamp, not inviting, not enough to look at. The best part was the parrots & fish! Very old fashioned clothing ranges. It just all feels so dated. Such a shame but I won’t be going back anytime soon.

Today I took over 20 friends to Seasons Restaurant, Burton Latimer for a Buffet Lunch. to celebrate my 80th birthday. It was the first time they had organised such a feast, but feast it was. The area was decorated and cordoned off for us, with balloons on the back of chairs etc.. The range and quality of the buffet was excellent, and plenty of it. The manager, Dawn, made the birthday cake, a chocolate delight and apparently with no calories on a Thursday !!!! My pals were so impressed that they want me to organise another trip there. Their care, service, food, cake and friendliness made my landmark birthday a very special occasion. A BIG THANK YOU to Dawn and her >Team. Like Arnie we will be back. David King

Had a takeaway cake it was amazing.

Nice garden centre. Cafe does great food too

Very well set out and friendly knowledgeable staff

Great place breakfast every sunday for me

I would visit Seasons more often with friends if a cup of coffee (latte) was nicer. We like to have a sit down and catch up as well as a look round. We all think that if they invested in proper coffee making facilities it would benefit them. We know quite a few people who say the same.

Seasons is a nice place to look around & visit with friends but our visits are limited due to the coffee. We love to catch up over a latte but I'm sorry to say the coffee just isn't good. I just feel if the Garden Centre invested in proper coffee making facilities that it would make a difference.

Xmas dinner special...excellent all 3 courses..great service and attention Recommend any time..friendly and caring Food is always spot on

Today spent couple of hours having a lovely Christmas Lunch with friends, Good food, well presented with excellent service. Highly recommended, great value for money.

At this time of year, "Seasons" give more attention to Christmas things. Still a good range of garden furniture and, of course, garden plants etc. There is also a DIY section and tropical fish department. And don't forget the cafe!!

We have just started our festive celebrations with a Christmas Lunch at Seasons Garden Centre, as we did last year. We had a three course meal, crackers, coffee and mints for £22. A brilliant way to start the seasonal cheer. The meal was excellent, the service was wonderful, an all round happy experience. A BIG THANK YOU to the manager ,Dawn, and all her staff. David King

Accessible parking was close. Floor was level, but not smooth for a walking frame. Cafe was good with lots of room round tables. Friendly staff. Toilets were not that near the cafe.

This is the last time I will be eating here. The service is terrible and the food awful. There’s a short, middle aged woman with tanned skin and tattoos who is one of the rudest servers I have ever met and I can say this having been served by her three times now. Very abrupt and service certainly not with a smile. Ordered the broccoli and cauliflower bake, which came with salad and two slices of garlic bread. Asked for vege instead of the salad and garlic bread and was given two spoonfuls of anaemic looking peas and carrots. One tiny, tiny bit of cauliflower in the bake and shavings of broccoli. How it could be called a broccoli and cauliflower bake i do not know. Lacking taste.

Pleasant. experience all round All Christmas'y really nice

Nice cafe with hood choice of dishes and reasonable prices. Good selection of garden stuff, ornaments and plants. Lots of gift ideas and a good choice of pet products and now a tropical fish emporium.

Went for breakfast. it was absolutely delicious 😋 couldn't fault it

Went to Seasons for lunch with a friend today, hadn't been there for ages. Both had cottage pie with veg. Well, the pie was ok but portion size is so small now to what it used to be. What was on the plate was mostly mash, very little mince and at £10 per meal I feel a little ripped off. Both of us commented later that we were hungry again, hadn't filled us up at all. Used to be a belly buster meal, now kiddies portions. Won't be visiting again in the near future!

Good food, jacket potato was exactly what was required and it's nice that you can walk here from hanwood park. Do be careful where you sit in the cafe if you have a dog. We sat on an empty table, ordered food and it wasn't until after we had paid that they said we couldn't sit in the area the side of the food. They did let us sit there though in the end as there wasn't any alternative, but it was very awkward at the time.

Great garden centre, lovely staff!

The food was a lot better than the last time we went there.

Been visiting for many years, such a shame to see the cafe so badly run, only 1 member of staff smiling. Complaints about meals poorly dealt with, not from us. No wonder Bosworths is doing so well, Season's used to be so busy with people queuing, place was only half full at 1pm.

A lovely garden centre ,cafe,fish,plants and live in parrots what's not too like

We had a roast beef lunch on Sunday which was lovely. Our meal came ready plated as the carvery is no longer available. After our lunch we had a wander round the shop and chose a few Christmas gifts as well and we had an enjoyable visit.

Lovely place, especially when the Christmas decorations are out. Lovely cafe, delightful food, & value for money

Great pet and garden sections. Some interesting trinkets. Always good customer service. Not so much in the way of food choices. But overall love popping by here on a quiet day for a browse.

Wonderful coffee lunch shop.Great choice of garden centre products.

Who thought it was a good idea to use UHT milk in coffee?? Disgusting and a waste of coffee. Also when one orders a black American one doesn't expect to get a flat white. Apart from that, not a bad shop but plants falling all over the place outside.

Good garden centre with a great cafe. Friendly staff too. Thank you.

Haven't been here for a while. Expected the café to be busy but it wasn't. My bacon sandwich was disappointing. Thin sliced bread with stale tasting crisps. Found a couple of Christmas gifts. Lots to choose from.

Food was OK but just a microwave meal so nothing, but the service was terrible. Very rude staff, wouldn't go again for that reason.

The signs & websites all say food up to 4:00;pm so we made the trip for some food. Got there at 2:45 to be told there's no food after 2:45 Something not right there

Lovely lunch on a very hot day.. Enjoyed our visit...

Nice place, with ample parking and a huge range of products to choose from. I can recommend the hot chocolate and lemon drizzle cake too!

Was busy, but was not push and shove busy, i was quite relaxed my whole visit. Has a lovely cafe. Two birds loose but didn't fly around. Very funny. The fish in the middle of the Aquarium Section you can feed with some fish food available to buy. Be warned you may get a little splashed by the frenzy, but it's quick entertaining. 😁

Omg the food! Bacon roll x 2 and 2 x soft drinks £18! When queried the price was told the bacon roll is £7 because it comes with side salad and few crisp’s!!!!!! Who the hell puts a side salad and crisps with a breakfast bacon roll. It was the cheapest ingredients going……don’t waste your time in going !

Visited last week with my little one. The Christmas displays look so lovely, and we love looking at all the fish and feeding the Koi. The cafe is so lovely, such friendly staff and the food is so nice and fairly priced, my go-to place on a budget with a toddler

The food there was lovely and staff are always really nice.

Fair range of garden plants,tools and ornament .Nice visit.

My Partner Karen and I have been here a few times, The food is good and the service is good, The place is clean and tidy and the staff are friendly, It is nice to walk around around the shops inside, If we are near Burton Latimer we call in

A hidden gem but great selection of gifts, cards, plants, gardening items and tools, and furniture. Also a little restaurant on site. Worth a trip, or 2!

Lovely garden centre with everything you need, a little pricey though, they wanted £100 for an established Wisteria, managed to get a good healthy one locally for £20.

Ordered cheese ploughman’s for lunch for both myself and my father. Jacket potato was ordered for mum. Upon arrival we were shocked to see the ploughman’s salad. It looked like a handful of side salad was put on the plate with a small pork pie, 2 slices of cheese , 3 small silver skin onions and coleslaw . No crisps as stated on description on menu. I asked for the crisps and these were slammed down on to the table by a very rude waitress. She then proceeded to tell us that these were not brought out originally as we had coleslaw which was not on the menu. Her customer service skills were zero. My mum had more salad on her plate as a side salad. It was my dad’s birthday and we wanted a nice lunch. Spoilt by the quality of the food and the very rude server. Not value for money.

A bit of a hidden gem just off the A6. Massive indoor sales area. Separate DIY store and large aquatics store, Good restaurant and very reasonably priced. Carvery on Sundays. Recent years has seen a steady increase in the number of plants available outside. Slightly let down with clearance paving etc outside not being clearly price marked leaving items unsold. Never gets overcrowded. Two talking pet parrots are good for children.

Massive place, very nice with loads of space and a variety of stock. Really nice staff

I don't like how they have put a cheap DIY shop into it. Nice staff, and two parrors to chat to 🦜🦜

Great customer service in the cafe and lovely staff too.Thankyou very much ☺️.

Brilliant garden centre, friendly staff

Very friendly and helpful staff. Have an enormous amount of varying products, sensibly priced. A

My daughter loves the aquatics part of seasons, all the cool gifts and the two parrots who we love to see...great cafe too

We had tea and scones. Very nice xxx

It's limited as a garden centre, but pleasant enough.

Fabulous garden centre with a good selection

Lovely spacious garden centre and cafe. Found everything I was looking for

A bit dated as far as garden centres go , all goods priced at 'premium' garden centre prices :(

Always good.... Stopped by to look for some house plant pots.... Lots of other stuff to browse...

It's a rubbish garden centre for plants, but for other stuff for the garden it's very good.

We visited the cafe today 14-04-24 for lunch to find no paninis or baguettes available, only breakfasts, jacket potatoes, main meals or desserts - none of which we wanted. Last week there were no jacket potatoes available when we went. The cafe seemed to pick up a little after going down hill but recently it’s not been as good and consequently has put us off visiting it again!

Far more expensive than competitors and very limited selection. Does have good parking and good connection with surrounding towns.

Excellent customer service and excellent menu in The Season's restaurant. I would recommend it to anybody shopping there

Slightly updated recently in a good way. You can now feed the fish as there is an indoor pond. There is a wider variety of fish to have a look at now. Pretty much everything else is the same. There are public restrooms including disabled facilities. You can get a bite to eat here and a beverage. Theres also ample parking and very accessible entrance and exit.

Pop into the Seasons Garden Centre fairly regularly as they have some good plants, gift ideas and a decent restaurant for either a quick snack or something more substantial.

I've been here many times and was hoping it had improved,but sadly it hasn't infact it has got worse if you just want flowers then fine but nothing here has changed for years the cafe is extortionate prices £12.05 for a muffin cake (very dry)and a small slice of lemon cake and two small/regular cups of coffee, well I'm not being awkward but these are airport prices for essentially bog standard cafe food. The stock here for your garden is sooo old it's not been updated for years how on earth the owners are still in business beggars belief?? I won't mention the competition that are around but there are now garden centers that are within a twenty mile radius that you can go to and they have become a whole day experience.. It's a real shame as this garden centre is in a great position and has the space to expand but has failed to grow with the times.

This afternoon 18 of us went to Seasons Garden Centre Cafe for afternoon tea. The food was excellent, and plenty of it, in fact a number took some delights home. The choice of sandwiches and on brown/white bread, the large scones with jam and cream, and the range of small cakes was fantastic. It wasn't the first time the group had been to Seasons and it certainly won't be the last. A Big Thank You to Dawn and her wonderful staff. D King

Lovely huge place with plenty of parking, amazing food from their cafe. Usually quite quiet nowadays but its a great place nonetheless.

Lovely plants in good condition. Premises clean and tidy. Helpful, friendly staff.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Even showed me the butter to confirm it was vegan 😊. Good service and lovely food. Will definitely eat here again.

We ordered 2 meals fish and chips ,expected to have a nice meal, to my horror we were served with fish that had been over fried really hard batter and dark brown almost burnt and very grease, the fish inside the batter was so small that it looked like a cheep packet fish nothing like the picture that they are advertising ,chips were almost cold the whole meal was so small like a child's portion, especially being a Friday their fish and chip day . So disappointed it really spoilt our day . Definitely won't be wasting my money there for a terrible meal. YOU NEED TO SERVE PROPER FOOD.

Yesterday, Valentines Day, I booked one of their Special Afternoon Teas for Valentines, for me and my lovely Partner. The table was set with love hearts on the table cloth and napkins, and a red rose and heart-shaped balloon completed the scene. There was a tray of heart shaped sandwiches, in 4 flavours, 2 slices of red velvet cake, 2 fruit scones with jam and cream, sliced fresh strawberries, 4 small cup-cakes and several cups of hot drink. Nothing was too much trouble, it was a really lovely experience Thank You to all the staff at Seasons.

Sadly this time did not have any thing we wanted

While the fish section of the garden centre which I visit often is great - what is not is the parrots and their care. Sure, while African Grays and Amazons can be very prone to plucking, their tank has nowhere near enough natural perches, toys and things to keep them stimulated. The signs say they have tried everything, but clearly they havent tried investing in either cages for a while - the perches that are there are heavily worn. Both parrots are also fed entirely seed diets from what I can see - this will lead to eventual fatty liver disease - even at a minimum they should be on pellets, but veg / chop is preferred. It would not take a store employee very long to keep up with their fresh food intake. The water bowl is left to fester, when it should be washed everytime they poo in there. Really dissapointing to see that these reviews of poor parrot care go back 5-6 years, clearly they havent tried to put any effort in.

So my son applied for a job in the cafe and was asked to do 2 hours trial on a Saturday 12 to 2pm with no pay, their busiest time and he was told that she would ring him either way. He NEVER got a phone call. I'm starting to think it was a scam, so they got free help in the cafe for nothing. They could at least of called him after giving his time for 2 hours for nothing! Poor show!

I always love going to Seasons.Good choice of plants, home decor and great cafe. Great staff well worth a visit.

Great little garden centre. Also the kids love Bob and jojo (the parotts) so don't mind coming its a win win

Large garden centre with plenty of stuff. Still the same, but now got a west end diy.

Good layout, well priced, friendly staff.

Pre booked a table, was set up with a table cloth , water etc, staff were busy but took time to check all OK, fabulous food and did not feel rushed.

Always a bargain to be had here! Plenty of plants,seeds and garden furniture. There is also an eatery and a DIY section.

Not really had to wait 5 minutes as only one person in the store dealing with another customer don't know where the rest where

Nice selection off everything now with a westend diy there even better

Easy to review. If the portion I had was half the size it was then I'd still think that the price was good. Amazing. Piping hot too. Been here many times.....

I met up here for a pre booked group of friends for a Christmas lunch. The food was excellent and outstanding value for money. They were short staffed but Dawn, our waitress was amazing. She was from, efficient and she just kept smiling in spite of serving several large tables at once. The whole experience was very pleasant and positive and I shall be happy to return

Well I have been reading some of the other reviews and find they are far from the truth...especially when it comes to the cafe/restaurant. It's terrible. They might just have been having a bad day but the food was diabolical. .. We ordered several jacket potatoes. ..with filling...They were terrible. This is a very simple basic thing to cook along with fillings. .. Very small potatoes which were cooked OK. . But the fillings were terrible I have never seen such poor fillings..and the amount which was actually on the potatoe dish was minuscule to say the least..Poor quality terrible. Was supposed to be Chilli con carne??? A sniff of meat couple of kidney beans. ..terrible. ..Who ever is cooking this hasn't got a clue...It's not a chef for sure or anyone who knows about cooking...The presentation was awful. ..How the waitress must feel putting this in front of customers I do not know embarrassing. ...The whole restaurant needs a kick up the arse along with whom is ever in charge..The other fillings were just as shocking. ALSO what do you do with the salad....Chopping it up into tiny little pieces as a side is ridiculous. ..it looks awful, becomes watery and looks about as appetising as a wet squid run over by a steam roller.... Such a shame you have an opportunity to make a nice restaurant, but your food is poor...

Didn’t buy anything in Seasons as was shopping for aquarium supplies but we love to talk to the two rescued parrots. Enjoy walking through the shop.
