Squires Garden Centre - Café Bars in Wokingham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great breakfast, very fast service, lovely staff in cafe, and outside, very good selection of goods, a lovely place to go. Went last year in may, still a great garden centre.

Sorry to say but this cafe is still struggling with organisational skills. Waiting staff wandering around in blinkers not being aware of customers needing attention to order or requesting their bill. Had to leave table twice to order another round of drinks and to request the bill. Paying by card gives you the option to leave a gratuity which sadly have to say there was no customer service.

Decided to go out for breakfast and our preferred choice is the Squires cafe in Wokingham. Got there early as we know how popular it is on a Friday. We love being able to choose from the selection to make your own breakfast and they added extra spinach to mine. Service was excellent as usual. Lovely to see familiar staff and to be greeted with a smile. The breakfasts were cooked to perfection- great sausages, perfect soft poached egg and crisp hash browns. It won’t be long before we go again.

This looks on arrival like a very stylish garden centre cafe but!! The layout is a bit odd as there is a long bar where you’d think you would travel along and get your order but no. You have to wait to be seated which I think just for a quick coffee is totally annoying and quite a lot of tables were reserved. Being stuck on the end of a long table and given a time limit isn’t great. We weren’t given a menu so after figuring out what the system was I went to request menus. There is a selection of cakes at the bar but they’re not listed on the menu so unless you’ve got very good eyesight you need to go to the bar to take a look. Our cakes arrived before our coffee and this seemed to be happening to other tables too. It seemed to me there was a shortage of staff which meant there was not always a member of staff at the entrance and so some customers were wandering around looking for a table and staff seemed to be doing a bit of everything. I was amazed when the waiter said that they’d been open for 3 years as I had assumed it was newly opened. In my opinion this cafe needs much better organisation.

Myself and 2 friends went to this Cafe yesterday for our Christmas Lunch. The meal was good and staff were very attentive and friendly. This cafe is freezing ! We ate our meal sitting in our coats as did 9 other people sitting around us. They cannot turn the heating up……..it’s the owners who regulate it. Do not go to this cafe if you feel the cold ! We have complained many times re this issue…….. nothing changes! 🥶
