The Garden Yard in South Kesteven

Just a lovely, quirky courtyard location with a secluded garden vibe. Individual tables and chairs with garden sheds and little cabins all surrounded by trees, shrubs and bushes. We only popped in for tea and toast, but it was beautifully prepared and presented with china cups and a lovely old teapot.

The best coffee in town and the best homemade cakes! Such a cute setting with lots of little seating areas. Staff are lovely too 🥰

What used to be a garden centre and now a lovely outdoor cafe. Plenty of little sheds or a larger area, under cover with the option of a blanket to take a chill off. I had an oatmilk latte with a bagel, both really good. Staff friendly and it's dog friendly too. It is well worth a visit and I will be back!

Amazing toasties, beautiful cakes and such a lovely environment. Would throughly recommend a visit! Even got a brownie to takeaway.

Tucked away, many of the locals don’t even know it is here. Amazing place with all sorts of nooks and crannies. Plants, pergolas, bric-a-brac and sheds decorate the place. Prices are extremely reasonable for lovely coffee and cakes. A real hidden gem

Lovely little quirky cafe with plenty of outdoor seating and sheds/ huts for wetter weather. Friendly staff, and tasty bites.

This little place is a MUST! Sitting in the "Duck" shed, we had the most delicious seeded bagel with whipped, herby cream cheese and cheese and ham toasties with tomato chutney. Followed by huge slices of hummingbird cake. Really tasty. Will definitely be back

We stopped here yesterday for a coffee and a cream tea . Oh wow... the scones had a beautiful crust and were a light texture, all topped with a jam and fresh, tasty clotted cream. You get a large mug of coffee too. The service as very quick and delivered with a smile. There is plenty of outdoor seating available in the sun or under cover. We will certainly be back next time we visit Grantham!

On recommendation I met my niece at the Garden Yard - we parked in the Asda car park and took the pedestrian entrance out of the Asda car park, across the road to the Garden Yard (there was an easy to spot board by the entrance to spot). We wandered through, along through the garden, passing various different covered over outside areas and sheds. It's very sweet and appealing on the eye, there are electric heaters that you can put on, plenty of blankets to cover over your knees. You order your food through a window and this is brought out to you - all the seating is outside, so wrap up warmly if it's cold outside! We chose the home made bread which was served in the big soup cup with sourdough bread - the soup and bread were very tasty. We also had a hot drink and my flat white was excellent. One to recommend!

From the out set ut felt warm, allowing dogs to join the patrons is fantastic has i know our dog is important part of eating out,When a member of staff gives our dog a bowl of water without asking is a plus On the food homemade says it all,you can not ask for more,the food speaks for itself They have created boothes so family can sit around tables under cover Worth a visit

Loved sitting in the garden, middle of town but it is so peaceful. Comfy seating. Delicious cakes. Well worth a visit, we will be going again!

A wonderful experience. The food is amazing . Fabulous toasties, made with top quality bread and fantastic chutney. The homemade cakes are a must and there is always lots of choice. What makes this place magical is the setting, lots of lovely nooks and crannies to sit in. After filling up on all the delicacies a mooch around all the garden paraphernalia makes a perfect afternoon.

Before my visit I had heard plenty about the garden yard before. How even in winter you can be seated outside and hustle inside a little shed with the heaters having a nice hot beverage. But for my visit with a family of four and the grand parents we booked a cabin table in the middle of June with the sun beating down. My first thought that it might have been too warm to spot in a shed but actually it was nice to be sheltered. Much like the other many hide aways that the cafe offers. You don’t even have to sit in a shed if you don’t want to. There seemed to be a fair amount of smaller tables in the open, surrounded by brick a brac and outdoor plants. We ordered 5 of the cheese and ham toasties, 4 coffees (which is locally sourced from the amazing 200 degrees in Nottingham) and a full round of cakes. It was all delicious and came in good time. The toasties are served on thick seeded granary bread and come with a side of very nice onion relish. We had a selection of cakes. Ranging from the scones to a very mourish chocolate and almond cake. The whole experience was so different to any other cafe around. And we will be visiting again soon. And maybe even try the same visit in sub zero temperatures.

Call in here if you would like a coffee and cake break away from the traffic in perfect surroundings in the middle of the town.The yard is like a hideaway with seats, plants peace and quiet. Lovely selection of food and drinks special mention to Tanya who always serves us with a smile.

Our second visit today for a cuppa and a cake - how lovely to be recognised from our last visit. Such a great informal and different place with outdoor seating, covered areas and rustic summer houses with sofas. Great service - fast and friendly - limited menu but lovely cakes - had a rustic toastie last time. Would be perfect with a wine licence ? We will be back with our dog next time !

Lovely cafe with a garden centre/ vintage store in Grantham town centre. Friendly staff, lovely coffee and yummy cakes! Seating mainly outside, but several covered areas and one or two summer houses. Comfy sofas/seating. Will certainly be visiting again.

Friendly cafe with a great choice of cakes. Great place to meet friends for a catch up. Lovely atmosphere

Visited yesterday for the first time and pleasantly surprised. We had coffee and a cheese and ham toastie. Both tasted excellent, service was good and reasonably quick. Seating comfortable and whilst outside we were sheltered from the wind and cold with a heater above our table which made us very comfortable there are even woolly blankets available should you feel cold. The cakes looked scrumptious but I resisted.

Hidden away but within only a few metres from both Asda and Lidl. Inside and outside seating and tables - outside undercover, and heated, in the garden area. Great service, lovely coffee and cakes and excellent prices. Staff are always friendly. Our must go to...

Went today for aunties birthday there was 4 of us. Lovely setting very unique and peaceful. Both inside and outside seating, outside seating had heating and blankets which was nice touch. Lovely coffee and tea, the tea came in very sweet Alice in Wonderland teapots....

It looks really quirky from outside and even more so inside. I just loved it as it had that personal touch that you just don't see with large groups. The service was friendly and smiley just what you would like to see all the time....

Always welcomed with an inviting smile by all the staff. Excellent coffee, best I've tasted in the town. Lovely hidden gem that most people probably don't know about.

It is so lovely to come to this cafe in such a beautiful setting. Cakes are delicious and staff helpful and friendly.

This is just an outstanding place. Even though it is set between two busy supermarket car parks it is incredibly quiet and peaceful. The garden setting is beautifully set out, there is a fascinating selection of chairs, tables and ornaments to either use or buy...

Wow... a must visit place if you are in Grantham and need a coffee, home made cake or a delicious toastie. Sitting in lovely surroundings you can just sit back relax and while away a couple of hours so easily! Hats off the the Garden...

At first glance The Garden Yard looks like a garden centre, which in a way it is because the plants, art works and garden furniture you see are for sale. But there’s also the café for tea, coffee and cakes. As it was a warm...
