Not been here for a while, but prices have gone up quite a bit. Used to be Β£8.99 now Β£12.99 for carvery. However it is still fantastic quality and great value for money, especially large portion size and the meat is always perfectly cooked. Also prawn sandwich was amazing. Bought cake to take home as they all looked amazing.

The meat was tender but didn't taste of much. The Yorkshire's were soggy, the veg was hard, the roasts were burnt and the gravy was like black ink.

Have been several times and find the cakes ok, but not as good as they look. Some are really really sweet. Staff are pleasant and there is plenty of room and tables in the restaurant but I can't say I would rave about the place. Plants in the garden centre are the main attraction.

Food was good, clean plates which is a good sign! Made the mistake of going on a Sunday (carvery) and had to queue little bit. Recently changed and don't let dogs in, this is a real shame.

A very pleasant place nice and clean with sociable staff. It was a bit too big for my liking, I prefer smaller more intimate places. The cafe was very noisy. But all in all it was OK.

Went during the Easter school holidays and it was rammed but despite this the service was reasonable and the noise level acceptable for conversation. The staff were pleasant and the toilets clean and well equipped but the pot holes in the car park are so deep they are likely to cause damage. The food all seemed very nicely presented but I had the egg and cress cob which was, again, very nicely presented but totally without any taste whatsoever. It was little more than cold mush and had I not known already what I had ordered then, by it's taste alone, it would have defied all identification.

Really like it here. Been a lot of times now. Nice range of vegan options. Would recommend the vegan coronation chickpea jacket potato. Vegan flapjack available. Vegan oat milk is available with tea. Staff knowledgeable about whether food is ok for vegans. Extremely clean, very hygienic. Beautiful homemade food. Seating is very comfortable, plenty of it, not too close together, special area for dogs inside, outside seating available. Nice touch - noticed this summer that they had a sand playpit for kids in seating area. Ample parking. We did have an issue with food not coming out one of the times but when we spoke to staff about this they quickly resolved issue, food provided, money returned from bill and even 2 tokens for a free cup of tea. I was really impressed by this, you can't be 100% all the time but it's how you deal with issues when they do happen. Will continue to go there. 😊

I had been told the food was really nice. However, I had a quiche which was a bit sloppy, roast potatoes that were nearly cold and lettuce leaves plus two pieces of cucumber and two halves of a cherry tomato which was meant to be a salad! Christmas displays were lovely but food not up to standard for the price paid.

Big car park , although can be a bit of a walk from the fringes and gets full at peak times. Some big puddles on day we visited. Large, airy restaurant with outside area. Service was good but can be slow with some queing at peak times, but well worth the wait as a good selection of hot and cold meals, lite bites etc. Good selection of teas Reasonable pricing.
