Shed Cafe in Weymouth and Portland

Called in for lunch on a wet, miserable Sunday. Didn't intend having a full on roast but they looked so good we felt we should try them. We weren't disappointed. We went for the standard size ( you could have a small appetites one or a two meats one for less or more money) and I opted for beef whereas husband chose the pork. The meals came pretty quickly seeing as the place was full up. We hadn't booked but it seemed like many people do as lots of the tables had reserved signs on. Our meats were excellent and the plates piled high with veggies - cabbage, carrots, Swede and parsnips plus roast potatoes of course. Lots of all of them but they could've done with being a bit hotter (roast spuds were very hot but the other veg weren't). Husband had plenty of gravy on his pork but my meal was very dry, just a bit of gravy in the Yorkshire pudding, none on the rest of the plate which made it a bit of a struggle to get through. I'll be brave another time and ask nicely if I can please have some gravy but they were busy at this time so I didn't want to be a pain.

The BEST Sunday roast in Weymouth!! Whilst on holiday we tried several restaurants in Weymouth town centre (what a dive of a destination these days) and gave up as the ones on the quay were way too busy and we wondered why the others had NO-ONE in them, so we gave up on Weymouth and headed back to Poole only to find Goulds Garden Centre and simply the best Sunday roast dinner we've had in a long time. Dog-friendly area as well.

Very convienient as its across the road from my friends. Used to live in the area 25 years ago and happy to come back here and have lunch. Fantastic food and environment, a beautiful trip down memory lane. The service is excellent and its was nice for me as my grandparents used to take me there.

Lunch was excellent, came out hot, well presented and very tasty and our capacinoss were the best I've had ever, friendly staff and very clean would highly recommend.

Really great quality food! Warm and welcoming environment with super friendly staff. The Christmas theme is so nice and festive too!

Came for Sunday lunch was very disappointed. No taste whatsoever, veg was all cold, cabbage looked grey parsnips were soft but green beans very wilted and overcooked yet cold Roast potatoes looked deep fried not roasted Won’t be back. They used to serve such good food !!

We visited this restaurant today Sunday.. We ordered Sunday lunch .. Which was excellent.. Plenty of fresh vegetables & the roast potatoes &.parsnips were perfect . The staff were very efficient & helpful. If I had .to complain..some of the vegetables could have been.hotter.

Excellent service with a smile. My daughter and I sat outside in the sunshine to enjoy a pot of tea and cream teas ( one sweet and one savoury). Both were very nice the sweet fruit scone being served with butter jam and clotted cream and the savoury cheese scone being served with butter cream cheese and chutney. Very nice. Our pot of tea for 2 was sufficient for 2 cups each . It was hot and served in nice china with plenty of milk should you need it. No complaints . We are regulars at the garden centre and often pop in for a cuppa and a treat . It's not a bad price the food is good and the setting including the the toilets are clean

My wife and I dropped in to the excellent Goulds Garden Centre this morning, having not been there for a few years - although we live not too far away. It was a pleasure to walk around the neatly laid out plants etc but also a delight to enter the restaurant alongside. Everything there was clean and tidy too - from tables to toilets and the behind-the-counter staff were very helpful and cheerful while taking our order which was supplied perfectly to our chosen table.

Spur of the moment visit, really enjoyed the ham egg and chips brunch. Will definitley return soon!

Came with friends we ordered sandwiches. They we’re ok , a but bland but I still Enjoyed it . Only complaint I had was the chips on the side . You get about 8 chips in a flower pot not worth the money I paid for it

Having not been to the Shed for a long time we were shocked at the quality of the food. Not good at all. We have eaten there many times before but will not do so again. We usually went for breakfast which was always good. This time however not so. Food not hot, dry roll and in general a very disappointing visit.

Lovely atmotphere and staff, new Dog friendly restaurant counter in the Dog Friendly Cafe part (go to main part and keep going or ask staff if unsure) which is really refreshing so can be inside or out with our dog. Dog friendly ice cream and beautiful Dorset Apple cake, we will be back for a great looking menu. We visited a few years ago and it’s clear a lot of work has been done to make this a really nice area to eat as well as shop. Thank you to the lady who pointed us towards the dog friendly cafe part, as we had a much nicer experience not feeling shut in a corner or out with no shelter like so many cafe’s do. Lovely food and place.

Best quality breakfast in Weymouth, always fresh, everywhere is clean, reasonably priced and the staff are lovely.

Popped in here with my parents for lunch. We sat outside as it was a muggy day. There was plenty of space with just one other couple outside with their dog (its dog friendly outside). You do get little birds such as sparrows & robins looking for food but they don't bother you. We did have to queue to order but we were only waiting a couple of minutes. I had the Ploughmans, Mum had the Hunters Chicken & Dad had the Quiche. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time considering they were quite busy & it was well presented. The food portions were very generous with me & my mum not being able to finish our meals. During our lunch a member of staff did come back & ask if everything was OK with our meal. I found staff to be very friendly during our visit here & we thought the food was very good value for money. We would quite happily visit here again.

On a friend’s recommendation we stopped here for a quick sandwich lunch. There were plenty of tables, inside and out, and a special dog friendly area. There was a queue to order which wasn’t surprising at 1 o’clock but it took me nearly 20 mins to finally order and pay. The staff were friendly but there did seem to be an awful lot of chat behind the counter about the number of portions left and signs to be changed etc etc when people were clearly getting a little bit fed up of standing and waiting. Thankfully our sandwiches were brought out to us quickly and were nicely presented and enjoyable.

Thought we’d try this cafe instead of our usual cafe, safe to say we won’t be returning. £9 omelette with side salad ordered, and what can best be described as a two layered microwaved omelette with a cheese square in the middle turned up. It was more like Salad with a side of small omelette looking at the size of the dish. Wouldn’t have minded too much, but after paying £9, I was very surprised at the low quality and lack of presentation. Then after ordering chips as a side, a whole potato was in the middle, just sitting there at the bottom like it was hiding out as the chip king. I have to say though, the staff were so nice and were very friendly to chat to.

So well run and organised - very pleasant and slick team service. Vegan and allergies catered for. Excellent

As a regular visitor to the garden centre, I do hope your new Cafe includes alternatives to Cow's milk. It is now the norm in most cafes to offer Oat and Almond milk too. I never pop into the cafe for this reason.

Ordered bfast at 11.30., thought we better enquire at 12..10 .told would be another 15mins!!!!!! Really how long does it take to prepare a bfast. Must be lack of organisation skills. Staff on checkouts were Lovely. So ended up getting full refund as wasted our...

Goulds bake their own pasties and pies, so they are truly scrumptious. Have been there today and once again the pies - and everything else - are top notch.

They do very nice coffee and lovely food in here and the staff are very friendly. It's a nice atmosphere.

Lovely lunch, fresh local produce. Staff were super friendly (particularly our waiter) dog friendly as well which was an added bonus. Thank you

Very poor main meal menu, my eggs today undercooked and my friends jacket potato was only just warm, didn't complain as they were so busy, first bad meal I've had in there.

Came here with the family for breakfast and was greeted by some very friendly staff who were willing to go the extra mile. The breakfast was beautiful and certainly got your money’s worth.

Great service and delicious food! Build your own breakfasts meant everyone could have what they wanted without any waste! The food was very well presented and super tasty 😋......we’ll definitely be back! 5 stars ⭐️ to the shed cafe 👍🏻!

The “9 item” cost £6.25Pot of Tea £1.75Total £8.00. Would've been cheaper with a mug of tea - but trust me, you need a full pot with to wash this brekky down.The service was good. Outside queing with a choice of indoor or outdoor seating. I sat outdoors, in the sun. The whole place was clean and tidy.Service was taken within a couple of minutes of sitting down. I ordered a pot of tea and a 9 item breakfast. The options were 5, 7 or 9 items, catering for all appetites, but i quickly worked out that a 9 item was one of everything on the menu. Big pot of tea arrived shortly after order. I like a pot as you can control the strength and there was enough for 3.5 cups of tea. Enough for before, during and after brekky. The breakfast arrived promptly, just as I was about to finish my first brew. This is a lovely looking plate. Big and imposing but with elegance. Passes the eye test. I took a deep breath and tucked in to my first bite. Sausage - like a lonely man on tinder, single. You could easily substitute an additional banger in for something you didn't want if that bothers you. Indeed, I guess you could order 9 sausages in the 9 item. I don't like a posh sausage so this did the job, decent pork sausage. Happy.Bacon - 2 this time, which means you could technically order 18 rashers to make up your 9 item. Tempting. These rashers were crispy, without going dry, which is no mean feat. Very enjoyable.Egg. Only one egg, which is fine. Sunny side up adds to the aesthetics, and really set the plate off with that glowing yolk. I placed it onto my fried bread and popped it, but not much came out. Unfortunately this one was ever so slightly over. By seconds. The only dissapointment of the meal.Mushrooms - I love mushrooms. Cooked in butter I think. Tasty. Fried bread - i love fried bread. This was so thick, and deep fried tasty. Greasy, yes. But thats the beauty of fried bread!Beans - moist, nice. Hash Brown - deep fried. How much better are deep fried hashes than those oven cooked ones. Beautiful. Tomatoes - being a garden centre, i think these were home grown. Lovely and sweet. I prefer mine under the grill a bit longer.Toast - so thick, with extra butter which I used all of. A beautiful bloomer was used. Couldnt finish the last tiny bit, because I was so full. Overall - 8/10. - fantastic Breakfast. I love the choice and 'build your own' style. The only noticeable absentee was black pudding, which I was surprised at.Would go back, a real treat if youre hungry, as its a little carb heavy (2x hash browns, 2x Fried bread, massive toast). lovely setting with views, and the BYO style was a bonus.

We attended in the afternoon for drinks and cake (hot food stops at 2:30pm), we took advantage of the Eat out to Help out scheme. The drinks were adequate and the cakes were tasty, very good value at 50% off, average value otherwise. Everyone was happy with their choices. so much so that 2 of the family returned for the 9 piece breakfast a couple of days later! They were very satisfied, the food was hot and tasty so I am told, not at all greasy - Two very happy and very full customers!Good clean, tidy environment with well spaced dining areas. lovely clean toilets too.

Having visited the Garden Centre and eaten in the Shed cafe our visit yesterday was very disappointing, we took into account the cafe was busy, but was shown to a table by a lady with blonde hair, we asked a question and she rolled her eyes, waited 20 minutes for our breakfast order to be taken, 10 minutes for the two coffees, then 20 minutes for breakfast, bacon was overcooked, rest was tepid,young boys and girls were going their best however the older blonde haired woman has no customer service skills at all, and she was not available for me to give feedback, won't return. On the good side thank you chancellor for the tax relief.

We took our 9 year old niece for breakfast. She enjoyed her first ever hash brown and loved it. The breakfast is great because you can build it yourself with 5,7 or 9 items. All really nice and not greasy. Really nice chap served us and offered our niece some colouring books whilst she waited which she loved. Will come again.

Family visited on Friday, we always meet in the shed as the food is usually excellent.Two members had sandwiches which were fine, myself and father in law had cooked.An absolute disgrace, i just wish that we had had the time to complain, but unfortunately we didn't.This is not what we have come to expect from this establishment. Usually they are spot on with the food.Two other family members had meals there a week ago which also were very average.

A fantastic size garden centre with free parking plus a cafe, which on first impressions was clean & spacious, there was a good choice of food on their menu that are on the tables so that you can browse & then go up to the counter to order, I got served by a friendly member of staff, but sadly that's where it ended for me as my drink had barely any coffee in it & wasn't very warm, then when my meal was eventually brought out to me by a very stern lady, it was way too overcooked which I did try to mention but she almost bit my head off, a complete waste of money as I just got up & left, very disappointing.

Still worth a visit but did not seem to be as good as the last time I visited.I had a piece of sausage and cheese quiche which had been tainted with a layer of a stale tasting onion relish, once I had scraped the relish of the pastry it was okay but not something I would recommend to anyone else.

Stopped at Goulds garden centre on our way home from a family visit to Plymouth,had decided on a scenic route home away from main roads and stopped off there for a late lunch.It was very busy in the cafe and all tables had been taken. Could not eat outside as it was tipping down with rain.We did manage to just get a table as we got our drinks.My husband and myself both ordered a cheese, ham and mushroom omelette, I chose the side salad to go with it and my husband the chips. The side salad was so colourful with fresh orange, tomatoes, peppers and mixed salad leaves with a tasty creamy coleslaw.When the dishes arrived they were beautifully presented.The omelettes not only looked delicious, they tasted wonderful,I can honestly say it was one of the best omelettes I have ever eaten, its no wonder it was so busy there.The cafe was very clean and had a fresh look about it. So impressed I sought out the chef and told him how much I had enjoyed the meal which I am glad to say made him smile. Think I will go out of my way to visit The Shed Cafe again.

Propped in for a quick bite on a Sunday and one of our group members needs a Gluten Free menu. Good choice available and staff extremely helpful when a preferred item was not available. Counter Staff a d Kitchen staff very helpful and concerned not to cross contaminate. Thank you. For us non GF the food was as ever excellent and reasonably priced.

I come here about 4 times a month with my mum and stepdad as we shop at Goulds Garden Centre and love to go into The Shed for a bite to eat before we head home. The staff are always so polite, I have never come across a time where I have received bad service from anyone, they always have a smile on their face, nothing is too much, the atmosphere is nice and you can tell they are genuinely being nice and not being fake. Their is a wide selection of food, I tend to always go for the breakfast or Beef Burger.. but then there's other times where I will get a pasty and a slice of their cake. Never a fault with the food, the chips are to die for. see you guys soon

Friendly staff and keen to clear tables at this busy lunch time. Unfortunately I was served a sandwich on a wet plate so it was very soggy. I ate round the soggy bit. Normally I would have complained but I was with my family and did not want to make a fuss. I would go again. Selection of food and prices were very good.

A really nice place to have a break. The prices are unlikely to be beaten anywhere locally. However, comes a catch, my breakfast was not the nicest in terms of flavour, probably because it was only tepid and served on a cold plate. The staff are helpful and cheerful but disorganised and long waits to be served may occur. Overall 4 stars from me and I would go back.

We recently took our 92 father to the Shed cafe at Goulds Garden centre Preston weymouth.After walking to the cafe with him (as he has a stick )we went to order breakfast.There was one man infront of us ,then about another 6 arrived and stood behind him .The assistant took his order then they all started ordering after.We said excuse me but we are next !The man turned and said its a block order!Omg we were left stunned.The assistants didnt say a word !How rude .We left the cafe in disgust !We found a manager to explain our woes .He didnt even take our name or number!A man and his wife told the manager i saw what happened and that was totally wrong .We came away very annoyed and upset.We are local people and use Goulds cafe and shop very frequent.We didnt expect to be treated so shoddy like that .

Had a delightful visit to The Shed today. Early Sunday breakfast. 9 items for less than £6. Efficient staff. Food was with us very quickly. Top notch Fry up. Great airy atmosphere with pleasant outdoor seating available.

Just popped in for breakfast, which was good. I have been here before as I'm fairly local. It always seems to be busy but there are plenty of tables inside and out and service is swift.It has a very nice garden centre as well. Large car park.

The best food in any garden centre in Dorset good choice good portions great presentation very helpful Staff I would highly recommend

The whole eating experience was centred around the customer. So unusual today where indifference can be the norm! Choosing a breakfast from an extensive list could not have been simpler. The poached eggs were well and truly cooked to perfection, with locally sourced bacon and sausage. All the staff were most helpful and pleasant. Everywhere benefitted from being extremely clean.

A lucky find for us, the full English was great value, good quality,and huge! We sat out on the sunny terrace, and fuelled up for the day to come.

With my mum having a special birthday coming up, on a previous visit here I reserved a table. You can reserve a table on a week day but not weekend. This is a very popular cafe, part of Goulds garden centre. I phoned the day before to check reservation and to up the number of people. On arrival the table was all set with red paper table covers , cutlery, paper napkins and glasses. A staff member greeted us and said he would bring us jugs of water. We also ordered other drinks and when we were ready they took our food order. Usually you order and pay at the counter. I asked if we could keep the bill open, as I was treating my mum, family members and family friends. We were all there to celebrate my mums special birthday. They told us this would be easier if they came to the table to take our order. This made it a whole lot easier for us and more relaxing. Our food was served very quick. All our meals were lovely. We took our own birthday cake, they kept this until we were ready and supplied us with a knife to cut and plates to serve. Nothing was too much trouble for staff. The staff are friendly,attentive and helpful. One member of staff even took a group photo for us. I can't fault the amazing service. Our visit was really lovely and relaxing. I highly recommend this cafe and thank the staff for looking after us so well.

Out with family, one particular member of staff incredibly rude. Rest of staff apologetic but the way she served one of the cream teas was shameful. See pictures

We visited The Shed Cafe today for Mother’s Day breakfast. There was plenty of choice, even something for us slimmers to have! The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. We will definitely be back again soon.

Popped in as heard they do an excellent breakfast which they do! Really tasty and a good choice, very busy but kept clean and tidy. Staff friendly - will definitely be going again.

If you are visiting Weymouth and want to escape the crowds, then drive up to this garden centre. Lovely home-cooked meals and comfortable large cafe. I called for breakfast as I was going home. Enjoyed the garden centre shop too.

Visited this place after being disappointed elsewhere and what a wonderful find. The food is a little more expensive that other places but it is definitely worth it. The food served is of a quality that surpasses other similar cafes and the staff were superb.

We were recommended to try the Shed for breakfast. We had any 9 items for £5.95 .The staff were friendly and the service good. The food was cooked to perfection. The shed is set within a lovely garden centre and is modern and very clean. We will definitely visit again

We enjoyed tasty paninis and tea, followed by ice creams. The cafe was quite busy but food was served quickly. The staff are a real asset - very friendly and efficient. The paninis were well filled, toasted just right, and served with a nice side salad.

The worst custard slice in the ever was set to the accompaniment of good coffee and tea. Service was good. It is very pleasant to sit outside amongst the plants.

We love visiting The Shed because the staff and food is brilliant - but 95% of the time, we know we are going to have to wait far too long, for staff just to take our order. It seems to us, the exact same issue with a local Sainsburys café, near to us in another county, in that the person taking the orders, also has to stop this, turn around and make teas/coffees or whatever. We would've thought this not very hygienic, in handling customers cash and then dealing with food & drinks. The main problem is the waiting - a little while ago, the excuse was it was a new till and staff had to be trained. That time has passed, the staff are always pleasant, it's the management that should be re-organising the set-up, or have just one member of staff dealing with the orders alone and when the queue is not there,(not very often) that person can wipe tables etc.

A BLT in brown baguette was brimming over with bacon and the slaw and salad a nice extra. Twice or was it thrice cooked chips were a taste buds delight. My partners Coronation chicken sandwich in brown was also full of flavour and trying to escape the bread. The let down was the watery supposedly thick strawberry milkshake which with apologies was remade thicker but was still warm and unappetising. Should have gone for the deluxe chocolate shake for one of our group where the spoon stood up. The cafe was full and is an obvious regular treat for locals stocking up on gardening produce and the food coming out of the kitchen all looked good. The down side was the queue to get served. Table service would be perfect.

Service was nice and helpful. Just little long to wait by the till. I had homemade beef pie with new potatoes and steam vegetables. Was tasty just veg need more flavour. Side salad no dressing. I will recommend to visit with kids.

So arrived to the shed cafe, when going in to the cafe it was quite busy so looked like a good sign but still quite a few tables spare this was about 2:00 pm. We were waiting in the que for about 5 minutes. when getting to the cashier she informed us that they ran out of baguettes. they had none, so we opted to ask if we could have a sandwich but no bread again. so I inquired if there was any food available. she said all they had was chips and it was bit of a wait. so we decided to just have drinks my step dad wanted a cold drink but the drinks in the fridge were warm. the coffee machine was filthy with stale milk splattered all over the back of it. so my mum and I thought we would try a milk shake. when receiving the milk shakes there was loads of bits of powder still inside it so when you took a sip all you could taste was the powder . Not good. I understand it is half term but they should be prepared especially were it was only 2pm and they had a few more hours open.

Have been here on several occasions and have been pleased with the service and food on all occasions. They have a gluten free menu which is very good and the Cakes are all individually wrapped. The only down side to the GF menu is no bread for toast, there are only rolls. The non gluten free menu is extremely varied and the portions are huge. The staff are very polite and helpful. Would recommend.

Great value for money,hot fresh food and great tasting coffee,I always judge a place on coffee non bitter not too strong,excellent service.

A garden centre cafe? Don’t jump to any conclusions...Scrummy humongous breakfasts, perfectly poached eggs, doorstep hunks of bread and good coffee. Super efficient service and accommodating staff who served us items that were not on the scheduled menu for the time we visited. Worth a detour even if you don’t visit the garden centre!

Have visited this garden centre and cafe before but have only had a cup of coffee in the cafe. Decided to try their roast chicken dinner, they also do roast beef. The price is very reasonable at £8.50 and for £12.99 you can have a roast dinner, pudding and a drink. The portions are very generous, lovely and hot and are served on a hot dinner plate. Particularly liked this as the food stays hot from start to finish. The service is very good and staff are very friendly. I will certainly eat here again. I highly recommend this cafe plus it's nice to look round the garden centre as well

I took an elderly friend here today for lunch. The restaurant is very welcoming: clean, airy, and good staff. Food was excellent: I had cheese, ham and mushroom omelette and my friend had jacket with prawns - helpings were most generous, and food was piping hot. We had tea for two - which came in a proper tea pot. Excellent value for money.

We popped in at the last minute on Sunday on the off chance of getting a Sunday Lunch. We were not disappointed. My partner only fancied a jacket potato but I plumped for the full roast dinner. What amazing value for money it was. For just £8.50 I got roast turkey, a stuffing ball, chunky sausage wrapped in bacon, roast potatoes, new potatoes, cauliflower, cabbage & carrots plus plenty of gravy. It was beautifully cooked, piping hot & tasty. Needless to say I will be coming here again.

We went here for lunch whist visiting the Garden Centre. A really lovely and clean café with a good selection on the menu also specials. As a party of 3 we visited and had lunch, all different selections from the menu and all delicious and competitively priced. Not a long wait for meals to arrive even though quite busy. One other good point is the free WiFi. also to note is the clean toilets. We will certainly return.

This was a return visit as a few of us came for a trial previously. Throughout all the pre planing...

Excellent food standards, reasonable prices! Breakfasts are cooked to order, and are tasty...recommend the pot of hash browns!!

Este es un café fantástico, con un personal amable y una comida excelente en un entorno encantador. Es un lugar que sería bueno para la gente de cualquiera que visite Weymouth como tiene capacidad para personas con discapacidades, los dueños de perros que sentarse fuera...

Hace poco visitamos Gould's Garden Centre y decidimos almorzar. El menú es muy variado y preparado fresco a la orden. El servicio del personal del restaurante era excelente, muy amable y de lo más servicial y amable

Tenía un vale para canjear así la esposa y comimos en este lugar. No me decepcionó. Buen servicio y buena comida.

Después de un vistazo por el jardín en Lunes de Pascua visitamos El cobertizo para un café y un bollo. Nos sentamos dentro del espacioso restaurante luminoso y estaba un poco frío, pero hay un área para sentarse afuera donde muchos eran el desafío el día guay! Los bollos eran grandes y afrutado y ligero cada dos paquetes de vino con mantequilla. Mi amigo tenía una taza de té para uno que era suficiente para dos y media tazas y mi café era perfecto, todo a un precio razonable y servido por un personal agradable. Esta fue nuestra primera visita y basándonos en nuestra experiencia sin duda volveremos para una comida del menú, ya que todo parecía delicioso.

This is my second visit to The Shed and I wasn't disappointed, the smoothie was really creamy and the Spanish Omelette was lovely! The only criticism I have is that the salad with the omelette came with pasta... I'm gluten intolerant and so it would have been good if it had been specified on the menu. However, it was taken away and removed... I was told to next time to ask for it to be removed, this is difficult if it is not specified on the menu to begin with. The previous time I was her I had the Jacket potato, the potion size is excellent and there is a great selection of fillings to choose from. I will definitely be making another trip there again.

I have visited this cafe before and have been happy with the food and service unfortunately on this occasion we were very disappointed. We had decided to take advantage of the tea and cake offer but when we arrived apart from one all the cake on offer was pre wrapped slices not what we wanted. The one exception we were told was a lemon cake sadly it was neither lemon flavoured nor cake like. It was nearly Inedible it was so crumbly and it tasted of very little we were very disappointed. The tea was fine and the staff very cheerful and friendly but when you go for a treat you expect it to be that and this wasn't.

Excellent place for breakfast e.g. bacon and egg roll especially if it's on special offer. Later in the day the home cooked lunches are good - and I'm told excellent cakes. Good value

Not one table was clear of cutlery and rubbish. Service was painfully slow. It's understaffed and people were having to clear their own tables and it wasn't even packed. Very disappointing as came here last year and was much better. Glad it isnt height of summer it would be covered with flies.

Set in the garden centre you will find this cafe with helpful friendly staff, extensive menu of freshly cooked food with cakes galore to die for at reasonable cost! Will revisit soon!

Always enjoy a large fresh coffee here with my grandmother when I visit.The staff are very friendly and helpful and it is always clean and tidy.Such a vast menu on offer,reasonably priced too.There is literally an option to suit any need and the portions are very generous.Would definitely recommend this wonderful place to others :)

Afternoon tea started at 2.30 pm. We had the High Tea costing £8.95 which included a bottomless teapot, a selection of sandwiches, scones with jam and clotted cream and a selection of small cakes. The food is cooked on site and the scones were delicious. The lady was very attentive, she kept asking if everything was OK and bringing fresh tea. We could not eat everything so she gave us a couple of plastic boxes to take home the cakes. Excellent value for money. It really brightened up a wet Saturday afternoon.
