Squire's Cafe Bar in Horsham

Horrible slimy strawberries and hard red blackberry on pancakes wrong coffee latte not cappuccino, not a good experience

Walked on with our dog and was rudely told to go outside So sorry we did not realise that dogs were not allowed inside but there is a way and a manner to say things. Needless to say I won't be coming back

I had lunch here one Monday. The food was freshly cooked & arrived in good time despite it being a busy day. The staff were constantly clearing & wiping down tables. The portion sizes were good & I think this was good value for money. We had the fish & chips (huge piece of fish) & the scampi & chips (which came with a big, tasty side salad). I'd definitely recommend a visit.

Spot of lunch with the family. Bit of a jacket potato fest to be honest. Nice large portions and very tasty!

Popped in here as I had been to Squires in Milford which is fine. My word, what a contrast. The place was filthy! So much food on the floor and stained seats. The lights above the tables were full of dead flies and insects. It genuinely made me feel a bit ill. would not go back and though the hygiene was horrific.

We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast, good quality ingredients, freshly cooked, very pleasant young man served us - no complaints and we will definitely be back!!!

We called in between work commitments looking for somewhere nice to have some lunch and a coffee, and this was perfect. Lovely staff who got the balance absolutely right between being attentive but not overdoing it; a wonderful light, clean, spacious café; great and very fresh food, and the best coffee I’ve had for a while. I’m a coeliac, and there were plenty of really nice gluten-free options, delivered by knowledgable staff who clearly understood the difference between preference and intolerance - I felt very confident that they knew their stuff. We will definitely be back - we need to try the ice cream! Thanks for a relaxing break in a busy day - much appreciated.

My husband & I came in for a coffee - my husband had a bacon roll. After quite a long wait the roll arrived & was eaten, but no coffee... The coffee eventually arrived, but not a good experience for our first visit. The seats were badly stained which was off putting. No fault with the garden centre, superb plants.

I enjoyed an excellent breakfast and super helpful and friendly service. Great value for money. I would highly recommend this cafe.

As a vegetarian with a wheat intolerance, it can be surprisingly difficult to go for brunch with my family, but I love coming to this cafe. The staff are always really helpful and accommodating and the service is great. I’m no coffee connoisseur but the coffee is great and there’s always a selection of non-dairy milk. My family enjoy the breakfast, while there are various options for me. Great cafe. Recommended.

We had a very nice family lunch here today. We had booked and that had been a good idea as it did get busy. Good choices on the menu; main meals and lighter bites. The option of chips instead of salad definitely gets my vote. Over and above all this was the service. The two girls running the restaurant were delightful. Attentive polite and always smiling.

Popped into squires for some plants and stayed for lunch ! Not having eaten here before we thought we’d give it a try ,my husband and I ,we received a warm welcome and chose our table I ordered a ploughmans and my husband had ham egg and chips and we ordered two drinks . The food and drinks arrived promptly what can I say but that it was delicious ,beautifully presented and so much of it !I had a lovely piece of cheese,ham,boiled egg and pickles and a small baguette and salad .my husband had some lovely ham and eggs a grilled tomato and onion rings and salad garnish .the staff were lovely and I did tell them how much we appreciated the food and service .

Enjoyed a great meal here today. The food and drinks were delicious and the service was excellent. Definitely recommend it.

Myself and wife went to this garden centre to shop decided to go in to Cafe and the staff were excellent and friendly, I had Ham eggs and chips and wife had fish and chips. The food was excellent good portions and no problems with the quality of food I even thanked the staff when paying.

We came here for a work catch up and it was terrible. No pancakes with the breakfast orders not coming out correctly. It was a total mix up and when we queried it the reply was "I will triple check, but that's what's on the ticket. " Well the ticket was wrong! The breakfasts were awful. Ranging from re heated sausages to luke warm beans. Not cheap either. Never again unless they employ a better chef with clearly patched together staff.

My wife and I ate here for the first time recently. We wanted to have the cod goujon ciabatta roles, but they had run out. We had a sandwich each, which was OK. Not a great experience and would not eat here again.

Came to look around the garden centre, after we we were to enjoy a late lunch. Was quickly shown to a seat in the cafe, and just as quickly, gave our order: one sandwich of smoked salmon, avocado with lemon mayo and a toasted cheese and ham sandwich. With a tea and a coke this set me back nearly £18, but if it was good quality then the price was incidental. We paid before delivery and drinks came fairly swiftly. The cafe was half empty, and most seemed to have ordered sandwiches or less. We waited half and hour for the sandwiches to materialise and when I asked why it took so long I was told the "he was on his own". No apology was forthcoming. Perhaps if the 3 other staff mostly standing around chatting had assisted "him", it might not have taken so long. Just as well we weren't awaiting a roast lunch, we'd have been waiting for days. Oh well. Another customer lost.

Inaccurate website led to disappointment. My wife and I arrived at 3.20pm hoping to get a cooked meal as the website said cooked food could be ordered until 4pm. The waitress brought menus over and then said that there was only cake and coffee available. She didn't seem at all apologetic. We didn't go shopping in the centre as planned as we felt we had to go somewhere else. We got a Christmas lunch in Rustington Sainsbury's for a lott less cost

It’s lovely visiting Squires’s garden Centre lots to see & buy especially for Christmas, the newly designed coffee shop is lovely/fresh looking lots more space decor very good/ chairs spaced out / cleaning very good in between customers, the young staff are so friendly &...

Disappointing visit today. There seemed to be plenty of staff but cafe had uncleared grubby tables and chairs . Insufficient cleaning is taking place between customers. Coffee was good but scone dry and almost inedible. Service indifferent at best. Won’t revisit for a good while...

Very sub standard service and quality. Even the toast, for my 5 year old, was burnt. There was no attempt to apologise or correct the issue. Service and food quality training is required.

Really great experience at Squires. Super comfortable seating and very friendly safe. The cafe is air conditioned with the option of outside seating. The full English breakfast was the best I’ve had in a long time! Great option of smoothies as well. Highly recommended and...

I had a avocado and salmon salad, was delicious and a good portion of salmon as well. We were served by a young lady who was very polite and could not do enough for us. The seating was comfortable and did not have to wait...

Really impressed with food and service. Staff were friendly and manager went out of her way to welcome us. Would definitely recommend.

We asked the waitress for extra tartare sauce for our sandwich, we were told ‘they needed to save some for the other fish’ whatever that means. However our sandwich had barely any in it and was incredibly dry. We asked another waitress, she confirmed they...

Very slow disorganised service, whilst the food was great. After the meal loaded the tray and waited whilst tables around were cleared. Then staff chatted behind counter even though we were looking at them. Took my wife asking for coffee to prompt a response and...

Easy parking, cafe access fine just a disappointing breakfast. Clearly everything on the plate had been kept warm for far too long. Fair credit to the manager he realised our experience wasn’t good and gave us a refund. Will we go back? Eventually, possibly but...

We had a lovely visit to cafe yesterday. Great food and great service. I was very impressed. Seemed to be running a smooth operation despite the rules and regulations they currently need to follow.

Staff were so pleasant and friendly and so helpful. Breakfast was lovely! We had 1 full breakfast, 6 items, i had the ciabatta with 3 items, very filling. Sausage is full of flavour. The cafe is beautifully furnished and decorated. There are screens because of...

We visited for Sunday morning breakfast in late October having booked a time slot as requested on the website. The cafe has been particularly well re-organised for Covid restrictions.. Staff wear masks, all meals are ordered and served at the tables which are shielded from...

Visited today for a coffee and cake, was met by two very unfriendly staff who seemed to look in discust that people had entered the restaurant.. We said we had booked but that didn't seem to get any kind of friendly welcome. Staff looked like...

Friendly service, but possibly the worst cake and latte ever! Sorry, it was quiet for a reason and not cheap! 😞

neither my friend nor I had been to this garden centre or cafe before some cafe staff were wearing face coverings, some were not. we ordered two meals, one arrived the second did not and this was blamed on the new food ordering system, when...

Recently visited here and even though the cafe was practically empty at 10am was told I would still have to reserve a table and all the tables were fully booked. Where were all the customers then? The place was deserted. There were only 3 of us for cake and coffee but they turned us away. There were no signs on the door saying you must reserve a table to be served. This used to be one of my favourite places to visit but sadly I will not be returning as the cakes on offer did not look very appetising. Having checked the reviews I can see that I am not the only one to complain. Also the prices seem to have gone up an awful lot too. I understand you are participating in the government scheme but surely you did not have to put your prices up to compensate. Also the selection of your lovely cakes and childrens snacks has gone down! Please remedy this.

Don’t know what has happened here, visit today and very disappointed with quality of food, the price has increased too. Think twice before eating there. Not worth the money.

Not been here since they had a revamp.I tried the ham egg and chips at nearly £10 ago and what I received was a handful of burnt chips two fried eggs and two of the thinnest slices of reformed ham you can imagine.Despite the fact that they will tell you this is Wiltshire ham in my experience as a meat lover this is not the case and this meal was not worth the price they were asking for which I returned and asked for something else which was just as inadequate.There are far much better places where you will get bigger portions of locally sourced items at better prices such as at Haskins Garden Centre round stone but they do a fantastic carvery and Costa Coffees, The new aerodrome café at Goodwood which is awesome.This place needs to up their game with portions and quality and not their prices and trying to hoodwink their customers, where there was another incident of a second order for a latte which was in a smaller cup than the first and yet the price was not reduced!

Don’t come here for friendly service. I’ll live locally and have access to several garden centres. I decided to go here for a change and take my mother in law as a treat for breakfast. The red woman and boy behind the counter were chatting when we arrived and didn’t stop to welcome us. I asked if there was breakfast menu and she slowllyyyy pointed at the “itemised breakfast” I said oh sorry is there not another? She eventually handed the menu to us and continued talking. Order placed and I had to remind them about making my drinks... ? She came and dumped it on the table afterwards no sorry, thank you, enjoy. Nothing. Generally the atmosphere was very unwelcoming, even the girl who gave us the food just put it down but no one in there let out a smile. You can tell this is a very unhappy working environment. Asked if I wanted a drinks loyalty card. No thanks never coming here again! II’d recommend Haskins, old barn or finding garden Center .So rude so unfriendly.

I took my cousin here for afternoon tea with Champagne. Service was excellent as was the food. Very comfortable surroundings, with cozy armchairs. I would highly recommend Squire’s not only for food, but for their wonderful array of outside and inside plants and flowers. Will be going again definitely. Well done .

been for breakfast x 3 in recent weeks. food is always really lovely and beautifully cooked. the sausage is full of flavour and clearly good quality. poached egg cooked well. Breakfast bap well yummy! + the soft roll is not run of the mill, lovely soft and flavoursome. a lovely café, nicely presented with good comfortable seating. good service. good range of drinks. go up specially from rustington and well worth the trip. such a lovely garden centre all round. a real treat!

Being always on the lookout for places to stop, it had never ocurred to me to try a garden centre before! What a pleasant surprise. Great disabled access and excellent disabled loos.

Family Mother’s Day breakfast quick service and lovely food, staff work very hard and always helpful and friendly

We were in the area and decided to visit the squires cafe bar after a long walk around the neighbouring garden centre. The food was rather poor upon arrival- so we asked to speak to the manager (Denise) and she seemed almost uninterested . We also witnessed her being abusive to numerous members of the staff. We feel she was not a very approachable member of staff or a very nice person as she seemed to take her anger out on the staff!However, despite all of this, we did have a lovely waitress- she was very polite, well mannered and formal in the service- much more than expected!

The newly revamped cafe is very comfortable. The food is freshly prepared and tasty. A perfect place to meet your friends for a coffee.

We’ve been twice recently and staff are great but it really isn’t an attractive eating area. We had scone and butter but they aren’t the sort we like. Others in our party had jacket potatoes which were fine. The small farm shop on the site is excellent though!

We live locally but stopped visiting many months ago. We returned hoping the refurbishment might have led to improvements in the food and drink.

Nice clean, helpful counter staff. And yet they service food that is just awful. Can't say anymore than that.

The Cafe decoration, seating etc is a vast improvement to the original area and the staff seem to be polite and helpful. Unfortunately the food, in my opinion was poor value and quality - not as would be expected for the price - one of our meals was a "Ploughman's Lunch" served with one slice of wafer thin Ham together the smallest bread roll I've ever seen in a Cafe. We were lucky to have a voucher enabling one of the meals to be

The sweet potato soup, whilst quite hearty, was served luke warm so had to go back to the kitchen and the pepper and halloumi flatbread was attractively described on the menu but arrived in a state of distress, with the barely grilled halloumi thrown slap-dash across the flatbread. The elaborate tracker system for helping the waiting staff find the right table only partially seems to work, given that one of the waiters came out of the kitchen and shouted "anyone ordered any chips?" We won't be back.

Very disappointed ordered two Jacket potatoes and chilli. Potatoes had been cooked hours earlier and didn’t look to appetising while the chilli looked like a watery sludge and both potatoes and chilli Luke warm. On the good side only waited 5 mins for it. Should have had a wrap the looked good. Back to New bridge Garden centre

First visit - impressed. Plenty of choice & all items good value. Staff were exceptional. My favourite - fish finger sandwich! Yum

As like other people who've commented on here about these pesky vermin in the outside seating area of this cafe, I wasn't aware of the problem prior to our visit and could see no visual response to dealing with the problem. In fact it brought back memories of a visit to Uluru (Ayres Rock) Australia. So if you plan a visit here invest in a hat with loads of corks !! And a swat.

Decided to stop here for coffee this morning, beautiful sunny day so took coffee and a milk shake outside with my son. Inundated by flies so decided to move inside where this continued. Before writing this review I read the standard management reply that seems to have been issued since March and this obviously has not been resolved. Wish I had read review prior to visiting as this was not a pleasant experience.

Stopped for lunch - wish I hadn't. The floor was filthy, food everywhere & flies constantly buzzing around us whilst we eat inside.

Popped in for a lunch and a bit of shopping a few days ago! What a mistake that was…actually felt disgusting when we left! Walked in to the restaurant area noticed a few flies…then as we chose a table we soon realised that the flies were everywhere and crawling over everything! Tables (occupied), food, cups, glasses, chairs and floors! People were waving their hands over food as they where eating! I couldn’t get out quick enough! There were bundles of wet paper all over the floor in one area! The chair and table I touched was sticky and grimey! I am not exaggerating! I have a pic of one small area on a table with 5 large blue bottles in one tiny area!! I have only given a 1 rating because I have to! Garden Centre area it self was ok! But will not return! Will be reporting to appropriate agency!

We went to the cafe for lunch today and were very surprised to see many dozens of flies crawling on tables/chairs and coffee machine here. The staff had covered the cups on top of the coffee machine but not the coffee filter jugs, none of the staff appeared to be doing anything about this infestation.

took my 91 year old Mum to lunch here today, had a very enjoyable lunch with a latte , reasonable price also a gentle wander round looking at a vast range of plants and gardening gear, with the odd spot of pets and food and aquariums ( I had no idea they had gone up so much) but a good afternoon visit with a lot of blue badge parking even with a small motorhome.

Visited this garden centre on the 2nd February and had lunch in the cafe. We were very pleased with our food it was delicious and the staff were very friendly. If there had been a hygiene issue then they have addressed it as it was very clean and tidy.

We were given an afternoon tea gift card...and had a lovely afternoon tea here. The sandwiches were tasty and well filled, a nice selection, and our table had a proper linen tablecloth which made it feel a bit more special. The staff were friendly and helpful. There were also scones and a selection of petit fours, all yummy. We’ve had cream teas in lots of different places...for a garden centre, this was nicely done, even the paper serviettes were pretty ones which was a nice touch.

Location. Good local, convenient, friendly staff, good service and good food. Not too fussy. Basically good and enjoyable and a good stop as you look around the nursery.

The waiters were polite, efficient, attentive and professional. The service was quick and the food was delivered at the right temperature. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very conducive to have a very enjoyable meal and a conversation with lunch companions. I liked the way we were treated by the staff. Everything was to our satisfaction. And the facilities were very clean.

Recently visited here with my partner and young son only to be disgusted with the general cleanliness and look of...

Such a great place to wonder around ,more so when the weather is terrible outside. So many interesting bits as...

We drive pass this regularly but this was the first time we'd stopped. The garden centre has lots of concessions...

La verdad es que era justo después de las 2 pm de un lunes, cuando mi marido y yo pedimos un jamón y queso plowmans. Teníamos media baguette de jamón de plástico roto, aproximadamente, 2 pequeñas piezas de queso cheddar, que parecía que había salido de paquetes individuales, con pickle y col en ollas individuales, probablemente para disimular las penosas porciones y luego unos tomates rellenos ensalada de hojas y que parecían y parecía que había visto días mejores. Aunque estaba muy bien presentado. ! Pero tenían una cara de pedir 8 libras. 95. No había estado allí durante algún tiempo y que tendrá que pasar algún tiempo antes de ir allí de nuevo! Hay un montón de centros de jardín en la zona de worthing que sirven comida mucho mejor que este, de hecho, en lugar de ir allí que Squires y creo que

Me encanta el jardín, pero el café necesita repensar sus precios. Tiene un público cautivo, pero no debería aprovecharse de sus clientes. Mi marido y yo comimos almuerzo festivo aquí en lunes. Pagamos 8 libras. 95 - cada uno de jamón y huevo frito, uno de un puñado patatas fritas. Yo no era mejor con 2 pequeños pasteles de pescado, una ensalada muy pequeño aspecto más grande por su difusión a través de la placa y un puñado de patatas fritas de camote. Quizás porque estaban ocupados porciones no se registró. Volvería a comer allí de nuevo, pero la próxima vez se pegará a té y pasteles.

Media Center garden en tamaño y calidad. Menú limitado pero sirve muy bien por el personal servicial. Lo que estaba disponible me pareció buena. Mejor movilidad reducida loo que he utilizado.

Siendo la familia aquí regularmente para un desayuno de fin de semana - comida fresca caliente, tostadas y buena atención. La única pega para nosotros es que no sirven salchichas vegetarianas o sin gluten pan.

We have visited Squire's many times for morning coffee, lunch and afternoon tea. This occasion was for lunch.New rules for obtaining a table, but still little hassle. Although busy and a new menu, as always the food was quick to arrive, well presented, hot and delicious.There had been a spillage at the next table and a member of staff was quick to clear it up.Well done to all .....

Nice choice of seating and good coffee/tea with a selection of cakes and goodies for morning coffee. Pleasant staff

We often visit Squires to have a coffee but when they've got their offers off a cheap or free cream tea then we are there. The coffees are made as requested, the food is always good, I have had one of their breakfast and it is superb, excellent value; I've had lunch their with my grandchildren - they had a kiddies meal and we had a light meal, again good value and well cooked.The staff are always cheerful and very helpful.

We've been here for tea/coffee A LOT! On our most recent visit we had breakfast, it was a great portion size and really well cooked full English breakfast. Sadly they'd run out of gluten free bread but I've gotten quite used to bread-free meals! Our little one was quite noisy as he was desperate for a feed but no one seemed to meet and the staff were all so friendly and welcoming. We often get vouchers for Squire's but even without out them th food is excellent value for money. We'll definitely be back again!

We had a delicious lunch, all obviously freshly prepared and again, very obviously, made with totally fresh ingredients - no wilting salads here. There was a varied menu with quite a few different and really nice and innovative choices not found in the usual garden centre restaurants. The staff were very friendly and helpful. One of our party had a wheelchair - nothing was a problem whatsoever. We will certainly be going again when in the area. Highly recommend!

I have had a few lunches here and numerous cakes and cappuccinos . lunches are simple but nice and good value. Cakes are splendid. It's a bit canteenish, bright lights, no carpet but this makes it easy for those who use mobility walkers or wheelchairs. No steps to negotiate. There are plenty of tables and chairs and also some sofas with coffee tables. The staff are smiley and cheery and welcoming. They used to have a buy-6-get one free system. I think this is still going. Haven't visited since Oct15.

We come here often to look around the garden centre, we had some lunch which were large portions and very good value for money, we also bought some cake to take away which was delicious, would definitely come back again it is a lovely little cafe.

My family and I have visited this garden centre for years and on every visit we always finish with lunch in the cafe which had offered reasonably priced food which was of reasonable quality. In September my family went and as usual finished with lunch in the cafe. I will never visit this garden centre again as the crockery was dirty, and the food do burnt it was inedible. What shocked me more was that they had the absolute nerve to serve this rubbish.I wrote an email to the store manager as I felt that as I had been served by young adults that maybe they just needed some training on hygiene and customer services.I never received a response, so due to their lack of interest in their customers I will not be giving them another penny of my money.

We had tea inside when we arrived and were very tempted by the yummy looking cakes. After a pleasant wander around the garden centre we then went and sat outside, enjoying a well presented lunch. The food was hot and the portions were generous, so much so that I couldn't finish mine.

This is on the south coast near Brighton This is on the south coast near Brighton This is on the south coast near Brighton

We called in for afternoon tea and they are doing a special festive version. We are regulars here and call in as it is local. The afternoon tea was great value at £11.95 for two. We have always found it pleasant garden centre café. The staff are always fun and helpful. The place is clean and well run. Drop in and give it a try. the sandwiches are great and we often call in for one

Children's menu was limited and not very well presented ..I had ploughman's lunch which came with half a baguette roll ..which was one of the past cooked and put in the oven ones ..but was very anaemic looking..the pickle onions were silverskin cocktail onions, too much pickle splodged on plate all in all and expensive poor meal

We regularly visit this cafe and I last visited on 5 February. The seating in the cafe is quite spacious and there are several tables for couples as well as the tables for foursomes. One of the strengths of the cafe is that they have a comprehensive menu for the whole day, starting from opening time. I often have the soup but on this occasion I had a ploughman's lunch which was fine although it would be better to have ham or cheese on the menu rather than ham and cheese which doesn't help vegetarians like me. The cappuccinos are always delightful and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. If you are visiting the garden centre a visit to the cafe is a must! I look forward to visiting again soon.
