Seasons Garden Centre in Kettering

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.....

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

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.

Today I took 3 ladys of a certain age all of whom have limited mobility. The service we had by all the staff was outstanding and I saw the same level of service on each table. The Christmas Dinner we had was very good value for money . THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Michelle Love.

Great place for gardening needs

Had the chilly with Jacket potato. The potato was reheated so many times the skin was black. The chilly was swamped by tinned tomatoes so exsteamly watery. Salad was freshly made and great. Have been here many times before and the food has been excellent up untill they reopened. Am concerned that corners are being cut on the food. The microwave is used to the point of molten lava. The staff as always are amazing. Shame about the food.

Decent inside retail space also containing a branch of West End DIY and a Maidenhead Aquatics branch. Outside though the range of plants is limited. Could do so much more with the space. Decent cafe with plenty of seating.

Absolutely brilliant service and food. Always able to cater for my dietary needs. Gluten free and diabetic. Atmosphere and staff friendly! Highly recommend!

Just had lunch here and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. We were regular customers but hadn't been for a few weeks as trying out different venues. Food today in particular was of a very high standard and due to intolerance, chef went out of his way to accommodate me. The atmosphere in the cafe is very relaxed and we never feel rushed even when really busy. Plenty of free parking. Would highly recommend a visit.

Cold jacket potato cold in middle lasagne what has happened here 6 months ago it was the best lasagne I've had pipping hot brown on top this was a 1£ Iceland at best

Opted for quiche, which came with chips and salad x 2. The restaurant was empty around this time, 11.30 am. Shocking is being nice! The quiche was small and tasteless. Chips were as dry as the plate. Salad wasn't worth the effort of putting on the plate. The cake was bone dry and served on a saucer. All became clear, then why the place was empty. Seasons has gone downhill from where it used to be!

The food at Seasons can be hit and miss but on this occasion my jacket potato was piping hot and full of cheese.

Absolutely packed, waited for a table. Worth the wait, staff were helpful and food was lovely. Recommend!!

Great place to visit, expensive but really nice & we'll stocked

Season’s cafe has lost its bloom! We went for a family breakfast today. The food was pre-cooked and came to the table cold.The coffee was not drinkable.There is little else to say only that we will not be going back again .

Lovely garden centre and west diy

My mother and I went for lunch here on Sunday 5th Nov We decided on a carvery as I could be bothered to cook when we got home so I ordered at the counter the nice young girl did nt know what roasts were on so had to go and ask When she came back we decided we wanted 1 turkey dinner and one beef roast so I paid along with coffee and tea then when to carvery and waited for 5 mins for the guy to come back and cut the meat that when I should have changed my mind and ordered off the normal menu but hay ho to late So the guy cut chunks of turkey for mums plate and then cut some beef for me both the beef and turkey looked dryed out but it was only 1215 Then we get to aunt bessys yourkshire with a tiny surfing bull stuck in the top also frozen then we get to frozen roast poto and frozen teas beens and broc And cauliflower with no cheese sauce also frozen then we get to sauce pots so hourse reddish in a small paper cup and gravy we sat on table 7 by the time we got back to table it was cold So won't have that again This place has really gone down hill What is going on I worked in hospitality and I would of been shot if I served this to customers Was still hungry and decided to order spotted duck and custard That was frozen but at least it was served hot with custard I mentioned my issues to the girl at till she said she would pass it on to the chef Then I went to shop till and as to speek to a manager or customer services anyway a lovley lady spoke to me and said she would pass it on to the owners I hope she does I am sure they have noticed the money drop as people ant going back

Pets welcome Staff are always very helpful lovely walk around the store plus added a lovely cupof tea

Gone down hill fast in the last 12 months, was a lovely place before, food was cold, the table was sticky and not been cleaned

Hot food diabolical. Very old jacket potato so old the jacket was inedible and stale and dry inside. Tiny spoon of chilli that too was dry. Husband had cheap old overheated pie that the top and sides were very very dark and hard with old (not fresh) chips and defrosted veg. When mentioned about the potato just got blanked

Nice simple garden centre, enjoyed our quick snack and hot chocolate

Great place for buying gifts ,plants etc pet foods, now got a WestEnd DIY dept also cafe area

Great food. Garden centre outside plant area looked very neglected with weeds under all the display areas etc.

Cafe on site is pretty poor. Long queue to get served. Lady taking order looked so miserable and very abrupt. Food expensive for what you get. Cutlery dirty. And as usual the screaming kid on next table.

Lovely place to visit friendly staff helpful lots of variety of goods gardening gifts pet and lovely cafe

Used the cafe, lovely experience.
