Stubbings Nursery in Windsor and Maidenhead

Gets extremely busy at certain times which can negatively affect the atmosphere and service. Weekdays are better. If you catch it at a quiet time, it’s really a delightful place.

Stubbings is close by and always a safe bet. Parking outside and lovely conservative feel to the place. Always enjoy the atmosphere and great light. You order at the till and food delivered to your table. Simple, high quality food. We have quiche which was delicious. Great place to have late breakfast or lunch.

We had booked an afternoon tea for 4 adults, 2 babies and a toddler. The babies were too young to eat the delicious food but the two year old loved it! This was my second tea here and it was perfect. I especially loved the little avocado on toast with seeds. We will be back again, I do like an afternoon tea and in my opinion Stubbings provide the best in the area. The staff are really friendly and helpful. We couldn't possibly finish all the food so we took some home in boxes provided to us. A lovely, relaxed afternoon, great company, great food and pretty surroundings.

We attend semi regularly for breakfast. The menu gives plenty of options and there are a range of cakes and pastries too. The breakfast is nice and generous portions but not cheap, drinks the same. The gardens are a lovely environment to sit and enjoy your dining though

This is the most expensive garden centre cafe I have ever been to. I feel that their snacks and drinks are excessively overpriced. It's not that special.

Worst breakfast in Berkshire bacon over cooked mushroom must have come out of can discarded will never go back family get together party of 6 bill came to £120 waist of money please don’t go there and waist your money

Disappointing lunch. Ordered the avocado with tomatoes on toasted sourdough. A soggy piece of sourdough arrived, certainly not toasted. It was topped with avocado and a tomato cut in half plus an awful lot of seeds. Not particularly tasty nor attractive and very overpriced at £10.65 compared to sandwiches which came with crisps and salad for £8.95. Won’t be back.

I took my 87 year old mum for lunch and really wanted to comment on the lack of consideration for people with poor mobility. My mum can’t walk very far and is partially sighted. The one way system they have adopted in the garden centre made it very difficult to get her in and out due to the lengthy walk needed which exits through the shop. Please consider this to allow those with walking disabilities to exit via the entrance. However, the food is always excellent and comes out quickly.

We enjoyed a wonderful afternoon tea, the selection of both sweet and savoury items was amazing. The staff were really friendly and attentive. So much wonderful food, we took a box home!

We haved lived in maidenhead for many years & regular users of you cafe.However our visit today will by my last. My wife ordered two breakfasts,one coffee and one cup of tea! She asked for an additional tea bag as I find one bag not enough for a pot( I usually bring one of my own,but forgot) when she returned from ordering told me she was charged £3.25 for the extra teabag,she didn't even mention the extra charge apon ordering! I was totally shocked. She queried this with the till assistant & the manager confirmed! If I had a coffee instead & asked for an extra shot I would have been charged around 80p I believe. Perfectly understandable or maybe £1 for an extra teabag! I can buy 80 decent organic teabags for £2.70!!! No doubt you will try to justify this £3.25 teabag! It's a shame that I will no longer be using Stubbings, as I do enjoy your breakfasts !!

Just had the most amazing afternoon tea. So much delicious food. Had to take home doggy bag Great service,Highly recommended

Two recent visits for Brunch, on both occasions after less than half an hour my friend and I were asked to vacate our table as there were other people waiting to find a seat. This was particularly annoying as it was obvious that other people were not approached who were making a pot of tea last, or were using it as an office . We will assume that as two men spending a reasonable amount of money we were not welcome so will not be eating there again..

this is my first visit to stubbing's nursery/cafe, and my last, at first it looks very nice, grand even, when we got to the carpark there was a car park attendant in orange, waving his arms around, we didn't understand him when we wound down the window to speak to him he was rude to us, in a huff, tried to walk away, so we plicated him and asked where we could park, then we parked, it was very busy, the place was full of puddles so not easy to walk about, once in the 'nursery/garden centre, we went in the cafe, which had a lot of rules, but was much smaller then we thought, and the produce on show was expensive, so we decided ot go find the shop where they sold xmas things, well no staff about apart from a grumpy girl who avoided our gaze. so we asked another customer who also wasnt impressed but tol dus, we had to go around the entire shop to get out, it was like ikea, a polytunnel full of garden things , then xmas ''gifts' like a chicane, then finally we got out, and headed to our normal garden centre which of course was fine, the place is ramshcakle very amateurish and the staff need a training session on smiling and being welcoming,

I was a regular, used to go ever few weeks for breakfast after school run. No longer. Staff are lovely, service and food out quick, and really decent food. However getting out is beyond annoying. You are now made to walk the length of a huge poly tunnel FOUR TIMES!! Past EVERYTHING they SELL, before you can get out. Terrible if you have kids, have any difficulty walking or frankly just wanted to visit the cafe. I think the owners of the garden centre are desperate because they obviously don't care about customer experience. God knows how many laps the staff must have to do!! Great if you want a cafe and a garden centre though

We were staying in Maidenhead before going tto a wedding the next day. We fancied something to eat and our hotel's menu did not fill us with glee. Went online and found Stubbings nursery and cafe. It was a great choice. They had a small but excellent menu. The food whenit arrived was really lovely. Good quality and very tasty and very reasonably priced. We would strongly reccomend it to anyone in the area.

We Love this place .. but sadly on this occasion I was really disappointed ☹️ we ordered, service was efficient and the staff polite and courteous. But I ordered a Children’s Sausage Sandwich which is almost £5 which I’m ok with but this arrived, absolutely no attention to detail or bother to even make it look like more than half a cut sandwich, not a crisp, bit of garnish or so much as a tomato .. was such a shame as my daughter had the Jacket Potato which was well garnished and presented.

Very good food - we had the vegetarian breakfast which was very tasty and filling. Indoor and outdoor seating for the cafe with ample room. Outdoor (undercover part) only wheelchair accessible by going through the indoor seating area. Car park is a bit awkward to use but shouldn’t be a showstopper. Will definitely come again.

Stopped for a quick and delicious lunch here, just a few mins off the M4 with plenty of parking. Generous sandwiches served with salad and crisps, and a tasty full English breakfast. We particularly enjoyed the herby tomatoes and mushrooms. Didn't stop for cakes but they looked delicious too.

Stubbings is a beautiful garden centre in lovely surroundings with a wonderful cafe. They use local produce and everything is fresh. I have always had a 5 star service whenever I visit, which is weekly. The staff are friendly and efficient. A special mention to Trudy, Cheryl and Molly who always so lovely provide service with a smile. We often come after a dog walk. They are always so welcoming to the dogs, and provide water bowls. Plenty of tables, it can get busy because it’s a popular and lovely place to eat. I am vegetarian and they have plenty of delicious options to chose from. Highly recommend.

Lovely breakfast but upset that no dairy free spreads available for the toast and a 80p charge for non dairy milk to go with the pot of tea.

We had a lovely full English and veggie breakfast. Staff were nice too. We then had a wonder round the garden centre with has lots of plants and home wear to look at. Nice unique food gifts and local produce. Especially impressed with the selection of cabins he had.

I have been going for breakfast at Stubbings for years but it has been getting progressively worse over the last year or so. They have started putting dried herbs on the tomatoes and mushrooms🤢 No place on a fry up if you ask me. The sausages were ok but the bacon looked and tasted like it had been kept warm for a long time, cold beans, overcooked eggs, missing mushrooms and tomatoes (because I asked for no herbs so they just excluded them). I complained but just got a free coffee, not what I’d call fair compensation for a £12 breakfast.

Having been to Stubbings cafe on several occasions and been happy with the food, I was very disappointed on my recent visit. My friend and I both had the ‘Pie of the day’ which was both lacking in meat and flavour. The staff and the service were good but sadly the quality of the food we were served let it down badly. We did complain and were given free drink vouchers but this did not really compensate for the poor standard meal. Hopefully they will take this up with the a’Pie’ supplier.

We had afternoon tea as a special celebration. We booked in advance ( they don’t do walk-in afternoon tea). Very tasty and filling . Very good scones, probably need more jam but that was our only criticism.

Last meal a bit of a disappointment because the frittata and roasted veg I was served was burnt and dried out. I should have complained but really I shouldn't have to

Another visit here for brunch today on a Sunday. Not as busy as some days. Had the Dirty Chai Latte and the Poached Egg with Avocado on Sourdough Toast as per usual when we come here. Always good food, lovely service and an interesting Garden Centre to wander around in afterwards.

Just had lunch here. Nice friendly atmosphere and service. We had soup of the day which was very tasty and with some nice rolls. Reasonable price and a good lunchtime choice.

After a busy Christmas, what better way to calm down than a visit to one of our favourite cafes. The food is excellent and you’ll always receive a warm greeting from the superb staff! No visit is complete without one of Trudie’s exquisite homemade cakes! A great place to frequent any day of the year! 👍

Just had breakfast at Stubbings. Excellent value and very good service. Particularly pleasing was the effort put in by the staff to keep the restaurant Covid-free. They were so thorough and worked their socks off. Well done.

Visited with friends for brunch. Our first choice - bacon sandwich was unavailable as the were out of bacon, which we could wait for but decided not too. The sausage sandwich arrived, with half a tomato on the plate. No sauces etc. offered. The sandwich...

We visited Stubbings for a family breakfast for 8 of us. We sat in the extended, open-air section, on two tables. Ordered are placed at the front of the kitchen area. Food delivered to your table. Good quality breakfast and excellent cappuccinos. Reasonable priced. Plenty...

Such lovely friendly staff. Food is very appetising and fresh. Cakes are absolutely fabulous. Clean tables and cutlery. A great place to go and just have a decent cup of coffee or tea.

Visited again this morning. First time in a while. The ladies serving were as fabulous as ever and the food was wonderful. Something for everyone. Stubbings Cafe is consistently great !

A very warm welcome on a warm sunny day, service was good but food really was mediocre! Certainly worth a visit for a brew but I won't dash back just for that!

A lovely setting, gorgeous garden centre views. A fairly limited choice of cakes, possibly due to the time we visited (2pm ish, could have been wiped out at lunch) ordered 2 cakes, one was lovely, the other slightly dry and disappointing

Happy that we stumbled upon this cafe on our journey. The food, surroundings and service are excellent. Ideal place on a nice sunny day.

Visited for a quick bite to eat for lunch. Very disappointed with the lunch menu. Hardly anything on offer, in fact the kids menu had a better choice! This used to be one of my favourite coffee shops, however I think they are letting themselves...

great cafe in the centre of lovely garden centre. They’ve put a marquee up outside so dog walkers can sit an have a bite to eat without leaving the dog. freshly cooked food, brought to your table, my friend and I love breaking our walk...

Wonderful brunch, lovely staff, Covid safety excellent. Very happy to recommend. It was busy when we arrived but the team did very well in looking after us.

We came for lunch today and were really impressed how well the restaurant implemented Covid measures. Everything was thoroughly cleaned between customers, masks were worn and tables a good distance apart. The food was divine, my daughter had a vegan lasangne and I a big...

Myself and my boyfriend are regulars at Stubbings and they never disappoint! We normally for the full, or lighter breakfast - both of which are a great portion size. Lovely, quality ingredients and always great service! We were also both particularly impressed with the safety...

We visited for lunch shortly after the re-opening. The food was excellent and the portion size was just right. The staff were great at explaining everything and the general ambience is wonderful. We look forward to going again.

Visited this morning for breakfast and have to say I was very impressed. Well organised, one way system, very clean, tables sanitised with a sign on confirming they had been cleaned. Tables well distanced and staff were excellent, polite and very helpful. A beautiful setting, quiet and peaceful at 10am this morning. I will definitely be going back soon. Well done Stubbings.

I visited here this morning with my Mum and we were so impressed with the COVID restrictions - social distancing, sanitising, etc. We had fruit smoothies and the full English breakfast which were both really delicious, and it was very peaceful sitting outside in the...

We have visited this cafe many times, most recently post lockdown. Very impressed with social distancing measures including taking contact details in case of any outbreak. Lovely cake, service and coffee.

Unfortunately I didn't like the food there at all - tried a few things a couple of different times, but it wasn't great and it's quite pricey.

Popped in here with friends for a coffee and a slice of something. The man behind the till was preoccupied and rude. My order began:'Can I have a cappuchino?''Table number?''I need a table number?''I can't do it without a table number.'I was put off by the man's terse, rude attitude. He didn't go into any further detail about how, for example, I choose a table and return to the till (out of sight of most of the tables, hence I was reluctant to 'reserve' a table by leaving things on it) without someone else taking the table that I had selected. As it happens, there is a system in place, but he decided not to tell me about that.When my coffee arrived, whilst drinking it I came upon something that shouldn't have been there. It might have been part of a milk bottle lid, but I'm not sure.Back at the man:'I found this in my coffee.''Table number?'No apology, no offer of anything, he took the coffee and a new one arrived shortly afterwards. No apology from the waitress either.All in all quite an unpleasant experience.

It has been a long time since we were there. Used to visit loads when we lived locally. Nice to see food and service still very good in the cafe after all these years. Would return again for sure.

This used to be a great place for lunch but no longer. The range of food on offer has reduced over the past 12 months and the quality has gone down. Portion sizes have shrunk to the point of being mean. The only thing that has gone up is the price. £9 for a tiny serving of quiche, a few salad leaves and horrible coleslaw made with 50% raw onion (yuk). £5 would have been too much.We used to be regulars but we shall be looking elsewhere from now on. The second star is for the coffee which remains good.

Spent a nice afternoon here with friends just before Christmas. Coffee and cake were lovely. The scone was almost too big!

I am a regular visitor to Stubbing's cafe as I live locally and it’s a great place to meet friends. Today’s visit was disappointing as it’s the first time I have tried the teacakes and they were awful. Not toasted as requested and thick and doughy. Not the best as too bread like so won’t be ordering those again. A new supplier might be good as how can you get a toasted tea cake wrong?

Festive Afternoon Tea is just amazing! Stubbings Cafe is my new favourite place for afternoon tea, everything is so fresh and delicious: dainty sandwiches, generously sized warm fresh scones just out of the oven, crunchy on the outside and fluffy in the middle with plenty of cream and jam, then a variety of festive treats all home made and utterly fabulous, tea replenished on request, Christmas crackers to pull, and they'll give you a box to put leftovers in to take home if you can't eat it all (and you probably can't!) Wonderful, and excellent value for money.

We visited this cafe on Friday lunchtime and it was very busy but despite that the food was served quite quickly. We had the seasonal Turkey, Brie and Cranberry ciabatta which was extremely tasty and made a welcome change from a panini. Our friend had the soup which she enjoyed and we had coffees and a tea. It was all served on very nice pottery plates, cups and saucers. The staff were pleasant and efficient and we will definitely go back again to sample their breakfast !

An attractive coffee shop in a lovely location. The homemade quiche with salad and homemade coleslaw was really flavorsome. Homemade lasagna also very tasty. The club sandwich is served on very good bread and is generous. They also have lovely cakes here. Their fruit smoothies are good. Much better quality than most garden centers in the area. The staff could be a little more friendly though, a smile goes a long way.

We’ve eaten here many times and came for brunch. Sadly one coffee had to be redone, an avocado dish was wrong and again had to be redone and two English breakfasts had awful bacon (that mass produced method of part-cooking and then warming up so slices are stuck together and placid on one side!!!) both left ours. As chefs and hotel owners at the table we know how to produce well cooked bacon for many so very disappointed).

First choice for breakfast, nice food, familiar atmosphere and plenty of choices for gifts and garden accessories

Popped in for breakfast on the way home. I live in London so used to high prices but was surprised at the prices charged at a garden centre cafe, even a higher end one. However, I looked forward to a nice breakfast in their lovely cafe. The eggs Benedict I ordered was lacklustre and for 7.99 I expected at least a large egg and a fresh muffin. The toasted muffin was tough and chewy so clearly not very fresh, the egg was poached well, the sauce was tasteless. The whole on a large plate without a hint of garnish or sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives. Lets be clear, we are talking about an egg, a bread roll, slice of ham and a spoonful of sauce which tasted as though it came from a jar. Its never a value for money dish! but I really like it, so I'll pay. A pounds worth of ingredients can taste fantastic, but in this case a fresh muffin is essential and a large egg.

Took my Mother and her friend to Stubbings as a birthday treat from friend to Mother. It was great, very reasonably priced, huge and super scones, sandwiches fresh, tasty and well filled. Lots of lovely little cake treats and definitely going to be booking for a return visit. Staff very pleasant and helpful and boxed up what we couldn't manage as such generous helpings. Recommend a visit.

Had a lovely time and excellent quality food. The sandwiches were fresh and filling, scones and cream delicious, as were the little cakes. We could hardly eat everything. We were waited on by Kiran who was friendly and helpful. A very good experience.

Stopped for a quick lunch and lots of choice on the menu. We had scone and jam plus jacket potato and all tasted lovely with a great pot of tea!

Other than the surroundings being very nice, the service and attitude of the staff is awful. The food is only just ok...

I took my mum here for lunch last Sunday. I loved the feel of the place. Really light and airy seating area and such a fantastic choice of food, drinks and cakes. However, it’s not cheap. £7.95 for a toasted cheese and ham sandwich. Yes it comes with a substantial side salad and homemade coleslaw but that is the most expensive toasted sandwich I’ve ever had. The food was good and it was very busy so maybe it’s only me that feels this way.

Wow wonderful afternoon, tea summer really started for my friends and I last week sitting out on a hot afternoon in April! . The court yard garden was Beautiful with flowers and fragrance three of us had afternoon tea made up of salmon , cheese pickle,ham sandwiches scones with clotted cream butter and jam followed by Tiny cakes and tarts.

Oh my - what a find! Today was our first ever visit. Trudie's vegan coffee and walnut cake is to die for. It was moist, full of flavour, and the kind of cake you could proudly serve to anyone, vegan or not. There was also a vegan chocolate brownie on the menu today. The cafe is lovely - comfy seating, tastefully decorated, and attractive tableware. The staff were really friendly. There is always vegan cake on the menu at weekends - I shall definitely be returning, and telling all my vegan friends!

We came here last Tuesday for a very late breakfast. We'd not been before though we knew of it.

I have been to the Cafe this week for a lunch with the girls. The place is lovely, especially when the weather is nice and one can sit outside.

I really enjoy coming to this cafe and am a local however the food has really gone downhill which is a real shame.

Stubbings is a lovely garden centre and cafe, the coffee and cakes are good, however whenever we have eaten main meals they have not lived up to expectation, we had a goats cheese tart and quiche yesterday and the pastry was heavy and the mixture for the tart was not good. On reflection I wish we had sent them back.

I have so many mixed reviews of stubbings, you can go in sometimes and get served quickly yet yesterday we waited over half an hour for pasta with salmon and a tuna jacket potato. When I complained that the large table behind us was served before us I was told by the male waiter that the salmon pasta took a long time to cook, the lady waitress was also gobby ! ! Stubbings you have beautiful quality food but please remember you are a cafe not a restaurant!

Family tradition to get our tree combined with brunch! The cafe is part of a very large nursery. They were doing a special Christmas brunch. Very tasty with generous portion. An excellent choice of all breakfast fare. The toast is a very tasty Bloomer Bread jumbo size. Throughly recommended . Excellent meeting place. On the way out they have an amazing range of Christmas decorations. Can be an expensive exit lol.

I have always been an enthusiastic supporter of Stubbings cafe, nursery and florist but the purchase of a Christmas tree last week has left a sour taste in my mouth.

Popped in for a coffee a few weeks ago. Very nice staff, nice and clean... Will definitely pop back for food next time

One of the best coffees anywhere, but have it in a takeaway cup as it stays hot much longer. THE BEST scones anywhere also, and all the food is very nice. Not a cheap cafe, but the quality is VERY GOOD, as is the ambience.

I recently read a review about the "rude manager" clearly in a hurry to go home. The cafe closes at 4.30. I do NOT think it is rude to be politely asked to leave in the next few minutes at 4.45. The staff need to tidy up and the staff at the nursery close promptly at 5. As this is the only exit out of stubbings ,I feel it was an unjust reveiw.

I used ti come here alot ,and was hoping tto keep doing so . However the new 2018 Autumn lunch menu is sooo boring and the jacket potaoes my husband and i had were luke warm and slimey .. Americano was ok .. sads sad I used to love it there . VERY EXPENSIVE FOR WHAT IT IS.

A great place to stop after a walk or a cycle in the local woodland. Coffee is not bad and the selection of cakes and savoury snack is very good. My personal favourites are the sausage roll (it’s huge and comes with a nice salad and coleslaw) followed by their jewel bar (chewy flapjack with caramel). My kids love the smoothies (they are not cheap but they are very good). A firm family favourite particularly if it’s warm enough to sit outside.

I come to this cafe regularly, as I (used to) like the atmosphere and the (admittedly somewhat overpriced) cake. We visited again yesterday (Saturday) and were enjoying our coffee and cake, when we were disturbed by the staff noisily piling up chairs on the unused tables around us. It was 16h30, the Cafe closes at 17h00.

Stubbings serves its breakfast menu up until 12. A little pricey for a fry up, but it is a substantial plateful for the full English. The seating areas inside and out are lovely, so it makes a pleasant change if you want a fry up but want some nice surroundings. Good coffee and speciality teas + a basic lunch menu follows. Gets busy so sometimes you can struggle to get a table at peak times

Well off the beaten track, nestling inside a Garden Centre, this little gem of a restaurant has good food, good service, good prices and is set in a lovely conservatory style room with garden views, and with outdoor tables too. Parking is right outside, entrance is through the garden centre. The exit is a bit tortuous as they like you to go all the way through their retail area, which feels a bit like a polytunnel it is often so hot in there. The breakfasts there are excellent too - healthy low fat or the full English - both equally tasty. Don't tell your friends though - let's just keep it between ourselves ...

Great place for breakfast lunch and great afternoon tea, home made dishes serve in a attractive setting.

I stopped here for the 2nd time on my way to London after the first visit was so good. So glad I did. The coffee was lovely this time I had avocado with poached eggs on sour dough toast. I think I've discovered my new favourite brunch light but very filling. Very busy again but service was quick and efficient. I also found out they are now doing afternoon tea so will definitely be trying this if you are looking for something with a lovely setting and great food this is the place.

This is a regular place for a catch up for lunch and coffee with a friend. I would have given a 5 based on previous visits but since launch of breakfast menu, change of chef and staff lunch menu also changed,

Had a salad for lunch and found it was pricey compared to the portion size and taste. A little disappointed as I had only heard good reviews of stubbings cafe.

As I was staying in a nearby hotel I thought I would have breakfast here instead of the usual overpriced hotel breakfasts.

I stopped here with a colleague for a late breakfast on the way to a meeting. Beautifully layered out cafe that has inside & outside seating. Picked a table went to the counter to order. We had a caramel latte, tea and we both had eggs benedict it was very busy with mums & children, ladies lunching, older couples and men having breakfast meetings so clearly suits everyone. The coffee was lovely and the breakfast was amazing I watched other food coming out that also looked amazing so will definitely be going back to try many more dishes. Definitely worth a visit for breakfast or lunch.

This garden centre cafe breaks the mould with a bright contemporary dining area with views of the garden. The food was really good for cafe fair. I really enjoyed the fishcakes (made with smoked salmon) with poached eggs on top. Welsh rarebit was good as well as was the accompanying salad.. Service was a little slow but that;s because it is popular. There is even and outdoor dining area for dog lovers.

I normally like this place. We know when bank holidays are so why not plan accordingly. The system of queuing does not work. We took a reserve slip and placed it on a table. Apparently that is what you are supposed to do. Five minutes later the slip was removed, presumably by a member of staff. I asked her if she had moved it and she said ‘I can’t remember’. We then continued to queue for another 15/20 minutes and when we got to the front were told there would be a wait of 40 minutes, clearly unacceptable. Why on earth don’t the staff tell this to people who are queuing? Me and my daughter were there for our lunch break and didn’t have enough time so left.

We have just returned from a wonderful visit to the cafe at Stubbings Garden Centre and i just had to write a review praising the food, the comfortable, airy environment and most of all, the terrific staff. We were a family party of 12, who wanted somewhere relaxing to meet after attending our baby grandsons baptism in Maidenhead earlier this morning. We had been advised that Stubbings was the best place locally for such a gathering after the service, as family and friends had travelled from all over the country for the day. We wanted somewhere to relax, enjoy one another’s company and some delicious food and wine. Right from the moment i contacted the team there, they could not have been more welcoming. On arrival we were shown into a pretty conservatory, by Trudy, wh continued , together with her team, to ensure we had everything we needed. Marion, the manager, brought our wines, soft drinks, tea etc to our table, with lovely words of welcome. We stayed for ages, popping in and out to browse the shop and garden centre, and make various unusual purchases. The plants looked so healthy, and the range of locally produced groceries was very enticing. We all plan to return to do justice to the full range of garden accessories, and of course to revisit the cafe. So, a huge thanks to Marion and his team for making our special day even better.

Arrived at 11.55am and the only menus on our table were for breakfast - which finished at 12.00 (the same time as the lunch menu starts). I went to the counter at 12.01 (the time on their till) and asked three times (the question was posed three different ways - as I only wanted a light snack) if the breakfast menu was still valid and was consistently told that the lunch menu had started. The lady at the counter did not seek clarification from the kitchen, yet when I asked for a tuna sandwich, she did ask the chef. I accept that there has to be a cut-off time , but one minute? Also, not impressed with white strawberry milkshake - there was not much strawberry taste. My wife had the mushroom soup and sandwich and she did enjoy her meal.

Nice friendly staff Nice lunch,local and easy parking. You feel like you are in the countryside....and away from the madding crowds

Mother’s Day 2018 was the first day I came to Stubbings. My parents have always been regulars but I was shocked by the appalling service. I work in a cafe myself as a supervisor. Who ever running this team needs to reevaluate how they run things. I get that it was a busy day but staff need to be more organised. Some need to be serving, some clearing and some taking out food orders, not everyone doing everything. Also a 45 minute wait on food is not what you want to hear when you get to the counter. Coffee training needs to occur as staff were continually getting drinks wrong and a lot of complaints. Errors were made on my order meaning that till staff need to double check everyone’s order before completing the transaction.

The cafe is very pleasant but does get very crowded and consequently extremely noisy. The food is fine but not. a huge choice. Price is middling. Staff are very friendly and efficient.

We often go here for just coffee or breakfast/lunch. Its wonderful. Warm conservatory, lovely food, great staff and they sometimes do special events, like a Halloween walk or shakespeare in the gardens.
