Squires Garden Centre in Elmbridge - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Really love this garden centre. Helpful staff and lovely selection of whatever you need for outdoor

Lovely little cafe. Really tasty food. Not on the cheap side but made with care.

£6.99 for one slice of cheesecake. This was to takeaway with a coffee. It didn't hit me till I was on my way. Now I know why none of the cakes were priced up. Deliberate deception ? But I learned a lesson, to ask prices and never to use any Squires cafes again.

Lovely centre, cafe and staff. Highly recommended and far, far better than the obvious rival.

Garden centre full of staff, cafe with no staff and large queue of people waiting to finally be told it’s an hours wait for food and drinks due to a backlog. We left and went elsewhere

Was disappointed on our last visit 18 months ago and thought I would try again. The waitress recommended not to order as a hours waiting time and couldn’t confirm if the breakfast would arrive. The management need to invest some time in recruitment as just two ladies were working

Clean, tidy and well kept plants and flowers. Great variety too with good stock. My favourite squires branch.

Good for your garden. Breakfast in thier cafe was awesome, great quality food and service was impeccable. Great upper class service.

I picked up 6 sets of battery powered Christmas lights from a stand of about 50 boxes all clearly priced up a 99p . At the check out however they came up at £12.99 a set ! When I quired this the manager was quite rude and refused to sell them at the advertised price . I said that similar lights were £1 in poundland. The manager laughed at me and said "well this is not Poundland is it" obviously not there cheap lights are 13 times the price. Unfortunately I was ushered away and so were the lights so I couldn't photograph them. I made a formal complaint to head office and had a nonsense reply but nothing was done. Hardly even an apology. The woman behind me in the checkout was also questioning the price she had already paid for children's books that were marked up with prices that didn't tally with her receipt she was overcharged by £12. Go elsewhere, dirty shop, rude manager massively overpriced !

Enjoyed a lovely lunch with a dear friend and then bought plants to brighten my garden 🌻🌹

Overall good value as the plants are well organised, staff are knowledgeable and there are always a few discounted plants 👍

Always have what I need. Not the cheapest but good quality...

It's good as usual.. Fantastically store..

Great customer service from Steve in the furniture department. We needed the garden set delivered earlier and Steve pulled out all the stops to deliver it on the same day they received it from the manufacturer.

Bought 5 raspberry canes gift, 3 are dead. Never bought them before & didn’t get a receipt

Just a shame the menu ends earlier now for food.

Very disappointed. Coffee warm to cold, matched by staff attention. Spent our half hour there facing the collection of staff bags and coats, also a drop with cleaning spray and blue roll. Tea cake was a long time coming, not enough butter and flavour dry and bland. We wanted this experience to be so much better. Garden centre staff were excellent.

Highly recommended, I could spend the whole day there,there was a very nice looking cafe/restaurant.Would be my go to definitely.

Nice variety of plants. Cafe is not so good. Our order was not as we asked & took a while to get someone to take our order & cutlery.

I only met a friend at the cafe so cannot really say much. The whole place was very busy though and trolleys well loaded. I would have stayed longer (and will certainly go there again) if I had not been on my way to Wales!

I visited with my daughter to do the Easter holiday planting activity and treasure hunt. The staff running the session (Steve and Lily I think) were both so lovely and helpful, engaging my 4 year old in conversation and letting her choose her plants to pot. She loved it! We had a snack in the cafe too, and then did the Easter flower hunt. All staff were friendly and welcoming. Will definitely come back for future visits and activities.

Needed some trailing geraniums, member of staff was really helpful Absolutely packed with people spending a fortune on their spring plants There are so many lovely goodies inside the store

Just a shame we had to wait 40 minutes for lunch.

Lovely place to visit loverly food ĺ love going there

What absolute gem. After having to go to the pet cemetery and coping with my dad’s grief, I took him here to occupy him whilst waiting. The cafe staff were absolutely fantastic, the food was gorgeous. After wandering out to the plant section which is small but oh my god, an amazing selection even at this early time. But a massive thank you to Nina, who served me and dad, honestly she couldn’t have been any more kinder to my dad. Also came to the till and wished us a safe journey home. Also the young lad who took all my purchases to the car was amazing. If only you would open one up in Essex. Mind you I would be broke.

We often visit squires great value for money as well as having a lovely meal

Quick visit as had to wait for someone. Ate in cafe tea and cake very nice

Worst roast dinner I have ever had,even the yorkshire pudding was still frozen in the middle,very cheap ingredients Do not order

This is always a lovely place to shop.

Cafe seems dead, food was a little off

Rated best squires in 2023 and you can see why great selection of plants, educational toys and all your gardening needs. What stands out the most is the lovely and friendly staff.

Excellent bargains in the post Christmas period. The most helpful and friendly staff I've ever met.

A group of nine of us had the set Christmas lunch. It was amazing. Generous portions and the desserts were a work of art.

Good selection of plant both indoor and outdoor as well as gardening equipment. There is also a section of gifts. Helpful staff who will gift wrap plants.

Always get what we want with polite helpful staff

Lovely selection of Christmas ideas

We usually look forward to cake and coffee after shopping, but the normal wedge of cake was replaced by a small dried out piece in a small cardboard box. The cake tasted more like the box and not a walnut to be found and struggled to taste coffee. Squires, rather than waste your money on the cardboard box, go back to just cutting the cake. Much nicer.

Nice tea. We had earl grey, with scones and cake. Polite serving staff.

Love this place good food and atmosphere. Love the plants and gifts

Beautiful garden centre with a great selection of home and garden furnishings, decor, plants and more. Unfortunately the Cafe is terrible!! Filthy glass and saucer which had to be returned to a less than friendly, disinterested waitress. Scone was dry and definitely not fresh. Staff are rude and left us loitering at the entrance waiting to be seated. A very unfortunate experience as we have just relocated to Hersham, but won't be visiting this cafe again. There are other coffee shops and cafes in the area that offer a far superior customer experience.

The garden and non garden items are good here; but I wish they would re open the food and drink counter in the cafe. I recently visited with a friend down from London and we simply wanted to buy a couple of coffees and a cake to share before finding somewhere to sit. However, the food and drink counter was completely devoid of staff and we had to go and find someone who told us to take a seat and a colleague would come to take our simple order and payment. We were completely ignored for at least ten minutes when I then had to go and find somebody again! This eventually happened and an order was at last made and delivered. I realise there is an online booking system which people can continue to use if need be, especially for a main meal like lunch, but for small ad hoc drinks and snacks, as mentioned, it would be great for the counter to re open. This is what seems to work ok locally at places like Claremont Gardens and downstairs at Brooklands Museum.

Great staff, really knowledgeable and helpful. Lovely selection of plants.

Beautiful halloween and christmas decorations, sadly no fresh flowers on sale, cant have everything

Butternut squash and chickpea curry with naan bread. Very tasty, mild. Unfortunately service was slow.

A BIG thanks to the Staff & Management at Squires Hersham for their excellent Customer Service & understanding in replacing a House Plant that failed shortly after purchase. Much appreciated

Surprised when I walked in to see the Christmas displays already up!! Squires seems to have very cleverly taken over to role of local department store and offer so much more than just garden supplies. Having said that, we bought a tree....and coffees, and birthday cards.....

I find the isle narrow especially as I have a puschair when I often visit. But I enjoy the environment and love all the options of gifts all be that it around Xmas time things was on the change... and displays being altered.

Very nice place, less busy than most , great for a bite to eat or just a cupper tea. Plants are in good condition and friendly staff.

Had Breakfast this morning. The place has gone right down hill. They brought dirty tea pot and saucer that I returned. Then the breakfast come. The sausages were rank, yesterdays I told the guy serving. Top dollar for breakfast in here too. Shame it used to be so good, a treat but no more I’m afraid.

Nice garden centre good variety products on sale restaurant friendly staff food tasty

Very poor signage. Very poor cafe. But appreciate it is work in progress.

High quality garden centre, what you’d usually expect from the Squires chain.

Great range of products. Super friendly staff.

This usually is really nice but today was shocking We sat down at a table which was filthy and we had to ask someone to clean it Which the crumbs were flicked all over us And then we ordered our food and drinks Which were came really quick but omg the member of staff who was so rude and attitude I don’t know if she was manager as she was wearing a white shirt She didn’t say a word and slammed our tray of drinks down and just walked off not even a smile when we looked the teaspoons were filthy dirty I didn’t even use the teaspoon in the end The food came and the other member of staff who brought that over was so nice and pleasant but the food itself We had ordered a steak burger and two baguettes a BLT and a Tuna baguette Well the burger look nice but was luke warm and the chips were stone cold And well the baguettes the bread was hard and tasted like it was going stale There was no one to complain too behind the counter and then we wanted a couple of glasses of water went to the place to get free water and OMG the glasses looked like they hadn’t been washed for months and then when I looked at the water it looked like that hadn’t been cleaned and not been used for months so decided against the water But this usually is a lovely little place to have lunch so maybe this was a bad day as they were advertising for staff so let’s hope this cafe gets better

Had Lunch with a friend but couldn’t eat it as the Gammon was like shoe leather, couldn’t even cut through it! The orzo salad was ordered with chicken, it was all processed rubbery chicken pieces. Service was Bad, as they Nobody came and checked, if everything was ok Would not recommend this place

Lovely place, lovely food, lovely service

Excellent Displays , Quality Goods , & a Lovely Breakfast..

Great for breakfast but has a slow service as there is often a long wait for food! Understandable when it’s busy but it has happened on many occasions.

Poor quality food and rude cafe staff. The cakes and scones are dry and the hot breakfast is rubbish. Other garden centre restaurants in the area are far better.

Good selection of healthy plants and very nice cafe. But no signal and can't connect to your Guest WiFi - not helpful when our book club meets there and would like to find info on future reads.

Polite staff but £9.95"for a baked potato and filling rather pricey!

Cafe to slow and was told over hour for breakfast! Waited for drinks and cake 30 mins

Could have alot more on gifts to choose from otherwise brilliant

Spacious, light and airy. Good stock of plants. Pleasant restaurant.

Dog friendly garden centre, lovely cafe. Staff are always friendly and can’t do enough to help.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Walton-on-Thames Squires Garden Centre, and the entire trip was wonderful. The Burwood Road garden Centre is a sanctuary for anyone with a green thumb or a love of outdoor settings because it provides a wide range of gardening lovers with products and services. A lovely and well-kept nursery area welcomed me as soon as I walked inside Squires Garden Centre. It was astonishing how many different kinds of plants, flowers, and shrubs were available to suit different gardening interests and styles. I was able to find the ideal additions for my garden since the staff was helpful, amiable, and willing to offer advice and assistance.

Had special offer on - 15% off all day if you arrived early, even in cafe. Wide range of plants, flowers and vege. Plus everything else for garden.

Nice breakfast good service plenty of parking, cutlery not very clean especially the tea spoons

Own brand potting compost very expensive

Went for a coffe a slice of cake and ended up buying a few other bits. Nice place with great restaurant ladies. Fun and knowledgeable and could have a laugh. I'll be back (who said that?).

Wow! What a great display. They also made a great Americano decaf.

Mostly, Salwa coffee cake old items in the shop a very expensive

If you want a non-plastic house plant pot wider than 6” don’t go here

Lovely staff, very helpful. Lovely restaurant, but i recommend booking for lunch

Very pleasant service ...with a cup of tea and a slice of cake 🍰☺

Great cafe and well set out. After visiting again I had to change my review to 5 stars as we popped in yesterday for afternoon tea and Hannah went the extra mile for us! We'll done Squires.

Very nice lots of lovely things to buy

Excellent food and amazing Garden centre with enty of choice

Garden centre ok, restaurant poor. Granted they had a sign up about slow service due to staff shortages, so we expected a wait but we got completely forgotten about and waited nearly 40mins for someone to take our order. When they finally came over to take the order, after 2 reminders, they had virtually nothing left on lunch menu, maybe 3 items so our lunch out, which had been booked in advance ended up being coffee & light bites!! Really poor and won't go back there any time soon.

Had a lovely lunch after a morning spent walking the greyhounds at Hersham Hounds; nice store and great service

Not bad at all. A good selection of products- prices not too bad either. Cafe ok. I think it's cashless which is rather annoying. Toilets SPOTLESS. OK to visit

Helpful and friendly staff. Nothing was too much trouble.

Lovely array of delighful xmas decor. Helpful and friendly staff

Lovely Xmas shop. Nice cafe with friendly staff. Lots of great gifts.

Lovely well presented shop. Friendly staff, always ready to help

Disgusting service by one of the female staff today,was welcomed very rudely when was wanting a table for five,then when upon arrival to our table we ordered 3 creamed teas but only received two pots,we then asked the waitress to rectify the issue and she told us that the pots were the same sizes which they clearly were not,will not be going there again

My experience at squires garden centre was awesome.

Unfortunately due to staff shortages there was a 30 minute wait even for a cup of coffee, so we left.

This is a smaller Squires than it's neighbours, easy parking, the usual range of interior bits and bobs. Plants looked healthy and all retirees seated in coffee shop with no intention of leaving. No space so no lunch.

Christmas arrives, a bit early maybe. Chasing the pennies? The cafe has improved, good service, yummy food.

Compelled to write a review on the change of management resulting in change of policies on plants and bad customer service. Such a shame as Squires has always been our go to store near Weybridge to buy plants, enjoy a meal and buy a thing or two all these years. The staff have always been lovely and helpful.

Me and my wife Barbara visited and prayed for family and friends and our Mag ❤️ God bless 🙏 Amen

Lovely tea and coffee, cakes amazing

Lovely breakfast with my parents

Went in to find some particular plants. Couldn't find them. When I tried to find some staff there wasn't any of them either. Staff on the tills (only staff around) were not much help either. Will not be returning.

We bought some garden tools, nice selection.

Staff are always friendly and helpful at all of my local branches

Avoid the FOOD. Terrible experience:/ We live in Burwood road and this is local to us. 6 of us for lunch today, unfortunately some of the ladies working there are very grumpy. I felt bad taking my family and friends there:/ My child found bunch of hair in her chicken fillet. It did put all of us from eating. No apologies was made I said I won’t pay for her food and it was taken off from my bill. I felt as it was normal to happen!!! I should have take a photo of it and put it here. We won’t go back to the cafe anymore and told my friends with the children to avoid it. Even one star is too much here.

Comprehensive stock and average Cafe. A bit pricey but forgiven. I was disappointed with the cafe on my last visit (August 2022), the menu isn't great and they were short staffed due to Covid so I suppose it can't be helped.

This is a really well stocked garden centre with a lovely shop area. Helpful and friendly staff on the shop floor and at checkout.
