The Orchard Cafe in Cheshire West and Chester

Counter staff a disgrace. Looked sulky unapproachable and angry. If she can’t smile or look welcoming she shouldn’t work serving the cakes and dealing with customers.

Awful service and toxic unfriendly atmosphere, also charged £3.45 for a medium coffee. Colleagues arguing with each other in front of customers, unprofessional.

Very poor selection of breakfast foods. Medium coffee £3.20 ridiculously priced for the size and it was cold. Most disappointing visit We won’t come here again

This our 3rd trip for lunch and to be fair you can't fault the food. Portion sizes are right, well presented and everything we have eaten has been very nice and great value for money. The staff however are a different story, bordering from pleasant to outright rude, with more being in the second category than the first. Staff walk off to do other things in the middle of you speaking to them when ordering your food, arguing amongst themselves and generally miserable. This could've been a 5 green ring review if only for the staff.

Have just returned from the Orchard Cafe ,Burley Dam.Was my husbands Birthday today, so we decided to have lunch here.It was Awful I had the pork With chips and veg, my husband had the Chicken with chips and veg.We took it to table to eat, it was all cold so my husband took it back to the till, told them the meals were cold, they reheated the meals up, but they were Awful. When we began to eat, the chips were horrible and dry veg eat not very nice.We were both Distgusted.Not happy at all...

Had a lovely breakfast here. Was staying in the Premier Inn next door and didn’t want to pay £10 a head so came here. Service was quick and the staff were happy to mix and match items, to suit you, within the number of items allowed for the money. Even had whole meal bread for the toast which some places don’t do. Had a quick look round the garden centre while there aswell.

We decided to have lunch at the Burleydam garden centre and we ordered- what sounded like a perfect lunch - the real ale Welsh rarebit and the Stilton mushrooms on toast. What came was some foul tasting cheese mixed with a strangely cardboard bit of bacon 🤷🏼‍♀️- who could tell?- on thin sliced sourdough (I think) - a bit of salad and some poor quality coleslaw…. The Stilton mushrooms were served with exactly the same weird tasting cheese and a couple of soggy minuscule mushrooms. Evidence of Stilton was impossible to ascertain but I think it had not even smelt a whiff of blue cheese. These cost nearly £8.00 each. Service was pleasant but given what we were served was in fact quite slow…at one point I think there was more staff than customers. All in all very disappointing as we have had some ok coffee and cake there in the past. I wondered if they had run out of ingredients and made do with what they had in the cupboards….. if so it was a bad mistake to make.

We popped in to the cafe before we did our shopping for the plants we needed. I was surprised how busy it was on a Tuesday lunchtime! However, the number of available tables has expanded since we last visited nearly 3 years ago. We both chose the 3 cheese and onion baps. It was prepared and brought to the table promptly. It was well filled and was accompanied with a bit of salad and some crisps. It was very tasty and good value for the price. The staff were friendly and the tables were cleared and wiped down regularly. We had a great experience and will return again.

Ordered welsh rarebit, got cheese on toast with added bacon bits, good size portion and nice salad but not what I had ordered.

Terrible experience. 4 of us visited, if I hadn’t been with my mum, I’d have left before I’d ordered. Slow service and disorganised. Very rude counter assistant who did nothing but moan to her colleague. “There’s no medium cups what we supposed to do if they want a medium”. We ordered 2 tuna panini’s really dry and hardly any filling. Chicken Pinini hardly any chicken and again dry. Tea cake - burnt and wasn’t edible so left it. Wouldn’t recommend and we won’t be visiting again.

This cafe used to be very good for a light lunch. Today was disappointing - lukewarm food and small portions, plus a misleading notice about free mince pies with every hot drink.

Myself and 2 friends visited the cafe at Burleydam garden cenre. The lemon merangue pie looked particularly nice so we ordered pie and coffee for 3. The pie was disgusting. Soggy horrid sweet mush. We all left it. Would never go again. Stay away.

Went to the cafe today for the first time and ordered the Sauteed mushrooms with stilton cream sauce but you would need a magnifying glass to find the mushrooms , bread was day and overall was very disappointing meal. My friend ordered the Real ale Welsh rarebit with bacon and like my meal you would struggle to find the bacon. Would think twice about visiting this cafe again

Have been here a few times and it's been OK but today tunna bake was awful, cold, dry over baked and more olives than pasta, potion size was very small, not good value at all. Very disappointed.

Lovely food and staff. I wonder if people who have given poor reviews previously are dining at different times to us.As we have no complaints regard food or staff.maybe they need to take into account it is a cafe not the Hilton.

This is the 2nd time I have been for breakfast here and can honestly say iv never had a bad experience. The staff are so friendly and helpful. I have a medical condition that restricts alot of foods I can eat, however the lovely ladies...

We ordered 2 breakfasts The queue was extremely long as only one till and most of staff were standing around chatting . By the time we got to our seats with the breakfasts they were cold . This is the second bad experience from here...

Ordered 2 cheese on toast for my wife and I, the cashier upon taking the order said it normally comes in 2's so I want 4 in total? It was a little confusing but 2 cheese on toast assuming 1 slice cut is 2 for...

Absolutely shocking experience, this place has so much potential to be a fantastic cafe but who ever they have managing it at the moment has clearly never actually worked in hospitality before. The staff here do not care about the guests they act like mini...

The reason for the rating was the lack of selection of hot meals and the one hot meal available was peppered chicken casserole. The chicken was dry as a bone and the overriding taste was of pepper and nothing else. It was awful - couldn’t...

I usually enjoy the food from the Orchard cafe. However I was really disapointed today. I ordered a jacket potato with tuna, sweetcorn and red onion. Firstly there was no sweetcorn, the tuna was dry and so was the potato. I tried to add a...

This was our first visit to this cafe and we were very impressed. The choice was very good and some different sandwiches etc. The food was very good. The service was fine. There was an outside area but we sat inside. Well worth a visit.

At 14: 50 on a weekday was told they could not serve cheese on toast. There were at least 6 or 7 serving staff standing around don't know how many in kitchen. No signs up saying hot food was closed. Eventually after standing at order...

Lovely to sit in the sunshine in the outside eating area today. Altleast its a garden centre which allows dogs. Food was very nice & service always excellent, especially in the current covid situation.

I met a friend for coffee at the cafe in Burleydam Garden Centre. We had our contact details taken and were asked if we wanted anything to eat, which we didn’t, so were told to by-pass the food queue and stand by the coffee area...

Arrived midway through lunch service. Despite there being around 10 staff front of house and more in the kitchen there was next to nothing sitting on the hotplate. Managed to get two kids meals of sausage chips and beans which were lukewarm and undercooked. Ordered...

Went there for afternoon tea. Only cake on offer was the now standard bought in small chocolate cake and no alternative. When compared to offers available to those with no allergen issues very disappointed.

Visited with friends to find an overpriced eatery in every sense. Sausage roll £4.50. Slice of quiche£4.50 wait for it........on special offer a half jacket potato with a filling of the inner flesh mixed with a little amount of bacon£4.50. Sandwiches ranging from £5.00 to...

Had breakfast here and it was excellent and very good value for money, clean and tidy seating area and very pleasant staff,we will be back when in the area

This garden centre is next to the Premier Inn. We popped in for a snack on a Wednesday afternoon after our journey from Shropshire. The cafe is large and looks very attractive, as does the servery area. Staff were very welcoming. We wanted sandwiches but were told, with huge apologies, that they only had white bread left. I opted for a strawberry shortbread instead from the cake display. It was delicious - two shortbread rounds sandwiched together with jam, cream and very tasty fresh strawberries. My husband decided to press on with a sandwich, even though he doesn't like white bread. The sandwich was ok, as was the coffee. The pub attached to the Premier Inn is dire, so we decided to go to the garden centre for breakfast the next morning. Again, very welcoming staff created a good first impression. Husband chose the 5 item breakfast, which we assumed would either be freshly cooked or at least hot, judging by the covered cast iron dishes on the hotplate. The only slight concern was the solitary fried egg sitting on a plate at the side. I had a slight concern that there was no steam at all coming from any of the dishes when the lids were lifted, and also my husband got the egg which had been sitting around on the plate. I asked for a three item breakfast batch of sausage, egg and mushrooms. To my dismay, the server reached down below the counter and produced a large plate of already fried eggs, which could only have been cold. He added one sausage and an egg to one side of the batch, then a spoonful of mushrooms to the other, not bothering to fold it over. I assume this was so that the person at the till could see that there were 3 items - except that the person at the till was also the person who had just served us the breakfast. Both plates were stone cold. We then had to queue for coffee and to pay at the till, then find a table. So, breakfast was cold egg, cold (poor quality - where was the meat?) sausage, cold bacon, cold hash browns, cold beans; and for me cold white batch (no choice of brown), one cold sausage and cold mushrooms, all served on cold plates. By the time we got to table the coffee was also lukewarm. A very poor start to the day and a huge disappointment. Come on, folks. You have a captive Premier Inn audience next door, the restaurant looks great, the garden centre is great............ why are you serving cold poor quality food on cold plates? It could be a little goldmine. That said, on both occasions the restaurant had lots of diners. Maybe we are just too fussy.

My girlfriend and i decided to pop in on the 2/9/19 for lunch and a cup of coffee each, the hygiene of some staff working at the establishment leaves a lot to be desired for as does the food, the uniform of the young chap serving was dirty covered in stains, doesnt give a good impression. The food was horrid, tiny portions served by miserable staff.

We had breakfast here this morning and had the best service ever. Special mention to Janette who went out of her way to ensure we were given the best treatment.. we felt really welxome.

We went for breakfast.My partner had the 8 item breakfast. Toast cold, hardly buttered and only available in white.Bacon cold,sausage cheap and disgusting.Black pudding had a horrible taste and luke warm.The fried egg had obviously been sat under the lights for a long time and was cold and rubbery.The mushrooms were hot and tasty.I had a bacon and egg muffin which was made to order so was hot and the coffee was nice.won't be returning.

the food is ok at this place but I find getting quiche and salad the plate is to small and when u decide to eat the food half off it ends up on the table I was also very put out when I complained the chips weir cold and then they weir put in microwave hence they got lets the could not even be bothered cooking fresh chips how sad

After having a look around the garden centre we decide to pop in to the café for a light lunch. On this occasion I chose the cheddar cheese and onion marmalade toastie and coffee. As it was a lovely day we sat outside under a parasol. The meals arrived very promptly and the toastie was hot and very tasty. The staff are always friendly, efficient and helpful. A good experience.

This little gem in the garden centre is spacious, comfortable and the food is first class. Called in For breakfast and at great value thoroughly enjoyed it with free newspapers thrown in. Very clean and the staff were lovely

Always a popular & busy cafe. Excellent dogs are allowed in the nursery & outside sitting available weather permitting. Fresh produce & helpful friendly staff.

Dreadful organisation. Hot food served from 2 sides of the servery area, so one hot meal is going cold while you queue for hot food from the other side! Totally inadequate customer service for a wheelchair user. Not enough space between the tables to get the chair through. No offer of assistance until we had got ourselves sorted. Food not worth the stress or upset created with all the queues etc. And stone cold by the time we sat down. Will not return.

We found this place for breakfast on the way to Chester Zoo and decided to stop for breakfast sandwiches and coffee. The food was tasty, the staff were extremely friendly and the garden centre had a lot to offer if we had more time. There was a lot to choose to eat on the menu and the prices are reasonable.

Ordered the child's fish fingers meal for my daughter. Once it arrived I took one look to see the worst fish fingers I've seen in my life, and I was a University student for three years, so that's saying something. While the outer coating looked appetising, the content was anything but - it was not fish, it didn't even look organic, more like old masonry from a disgarded brick (greyish brown)! It was plane to see the ingredients used by The Orchard Cafe are sub-standard, below that even. I am not joking when I say, you'd struggle to find such poor quality food (fish fingers) in an Albanian minimart! Even more shocking given the venue. Having the goujon sandwich myself, I would again say the quality was average, but at least edible. The tea cake which I bought my daughter to replace the fish fingers, which I asked, and received a refund, was again, average, with minimal currents and bland. This place is on my doorstep and I had such high expectations. While the Garden Centre is a gem, the Cafe should be treat with caution. The only reason I'm giving two stars is because of the staff, who I found very polite and hard working. For goodness sake, buy better quality ingredients!

Popped in here to have morning coffee and catch up with a friend. The cakes and food did look lovely but I didn't partake on this occasion. The coffee was lovely and hot - just what you need on a cold November morning! My friend tried one of the special Christmas teas. A lot of extra tables have been added to the café area in recent times- so although it gets busy there is no problem finding a table. It is clean and the tables are cleared and wiped down quickly. There is a reasonable amount of parking and plenty of plants etc to look at in the garden centre area.

Nice garden centre. Cafe very nice but can get busy. Better now they have added some extra tables. On busy times they could do with more staff as the staff often look rather stressed out! Nice food though and I enjoy a trip here.

Called sunday for lunch with mum chose a salmon pannini and cream cheese it was very tasty side salad was all so very nice and plentiful and served with a smile too .staff are wonderful .oh and my latte was extra hot lovely just as I asked for thank you orchard cafe .

I live locally to The Orchard Café and it is often a first port of call for catching up with friends for a coffee and cake or a light bite. The stilton mushrooms on ciabatta is delicious and certainly enough to satisfy your appetite. Now that the Christmas decorations are starting to appear, it is a magical place to visit. There is something for everyone. As someone who worked at the Burleydam Garden Centre when it was little more than a wooden hut and rows of greenhouses, I am delighted to see the transformation that has taken place over the years. Definitely worth a visit if you have not been before and a revisit if you have.

Stopped by for a change to the usual , lunch was particularly good and staff are very polite and helpful. Will be back Cleanliness is good.

We visited this lovely cafe when we were staying at Premier Inn next door we did not fancy their breakfast.We had a lovely breakfast which was cheaper than the one offered at Premier Inn.Breakfast was value for money & lovely.Staff were friendly & cafe clean.Plenty choice was available as well.Only couple of things we thought could be improved a bigger plate & hot drinks should be served at start before the food.

First class food, quite busy, queue to order food but it came really quickly. We visit often for lunch or afternoon tea, never been disappointed.

Popped in to meet up with a friend and have morning coffee. Although we didn't partake it is a popular place to go to for breakfast which did look good. Lovely coffee and on this occasion we were able to sit outside and look at all the lovely water features. The staff are friendly and helpful. As we left it was getting very busy as it was lunchtime.

Been here twice at Christmas and Easter - The garden centre is good but the cafe leaves much to be desired. The food is awful and service is slow yet it is always crowded - not much choice on menus and what was available did not look appetizing - must be for older people who don't like going elsewhere - it is expensive for what it is also. Will not go to cafe again there are far better places near by.

We visited on a Sunday morning for breakfast and the cafe was really busy so it looked promising. We chose our breakfast and then had to wait with our food whilst the young lady tried to make a coffee. Once we sat down our food and coffee were cold. The breakfast was awful, the sausages are the cheapest fattiest sausages I have ever tried. the bacon was undercooked and covered in white spots because it hadn’t been drained. The fried bread was cold, greasy and as soon as you tried to cut it it disintegrated. Hash browns were cold and undercooked. The only things on the plate that were edible was the mushrooms and the egg which was fresh out of the kitchen as we ordered.Such a shame as it is a lovely cafe and a nice environment and could have been so much better.

Been going to the Burleydam Garden Centre for more than 25 years. Recently its not what it used to be, the food is often cold by the time you get to your seat, so you have to return it to be warmed. The organisation of the restaurant lets the place down, there was a Lady Manager in the restaurant who appears to have gone now, she was always on the ball and kept it running well, that may have a bearing on the issues?

This was just a good Friday lunch trip,my wife had a salad and I had a hot sandwich which were very fresh and tasty. We also had coffee and the lemon cheesecake which was a great end to a lovely meal.

Stopped by the Burleydam Garden Centre, anyone say boring middle class blandness? Hungry, so we made way to the The Orchard Cafe/ restaurant for lunch. O dear, huge potential, big crowds, poorly organised, suffering customer service and very inoffensive flavour to be unremarkable. Rose water cake had nothing rosey except pink food colouring. How do these places stay in business? Curried parsnip soup was Ok and not extraordinary. The sandwich was served on a plain naked plate, no salad, no pickle, no crisps...just unremarkable. Folks, Iceland products taste a far sight better and you'd stock up for the price this place charges.

Popped in for breakfast after a stay at the Premier Inn next door. ice choice of food , well cooked. Pleasant staff and nice atmosphere

Sunday late morning browsing and a spot of brunch Service so slow with drinks etc Food was ok Toilets dirty dirty dirty it was about 11ish so not been open long should of been cleaned never seen so much dirt Chemicals just on the floor in containers not even stored correctly Black bag that was the bin not even a bin Hand drier dirty Really disappointed won't be going again as lost confidence in cleanliness is the kitchen the same ??

Went here after looking round the sale just went for a coffee but had a breakfast there was a few people there all having a breakfast and a good place to meet up with friends

Having had a delicious Xmas lunch here previously, we opted to go to the Orchard Cafe located in the Burleydam Garden Centre for their Sunday carvery. Unfortunately we did not have the same enjoyable experience and left hugely disspointed. Our beef option was regrettable, fatty over cooked and extremely tough. The gravy was a watery greasy substance not helped by the huge amounts of water spooned onto our plate with the carrots and cauliflour. The Yorkshire puddings were a flat dense mass of stodgy batter and all was served barely hot. The only pleasant thing were several roast potatoes. Reason no complaint was made directly was due to the line of waiting customers at the counter and not feeling it would be appropriate to raise such a complaint in view of other customers.

Food ok but all portions smaller from 2017 visits.Two toastie +salad on smaller plates+ 2 coffees £17.We can doMuch. better. Won't bother again.

I often go alone for lunch or coffee and a cake or scone. The staff are very helpful and carry my tray from the self service servery since I am disabled. I have taken friends as well who were very impressed at the quality of the food. The tables are pleasantly situated with plenty of light and the view onto the outside area is nice. I had a hot lunch last time. It was tender pieces of Liver in a beautiful rich sauce. The vegetables all tasted fresh. I really enjoyed it. I hadn't time to stop for dessert, but I can recommend them from previous experience. The coffee and tea are good too. The car park is always pretty full and I cannot always get a disabled space which I need to have enough room to exit the car without hurting myself. I try to find a suitable alternative space, otherwise I would have to leave. Luckily I found one for the last visit. The bonus is having the garden centre to walk around before and after lunch.

After a browse around the garden centre we went for afternoon coffee. Great choice of cakes and different coffees. Plenty of seating both inside and outside. Lovely friendly staff. Tables were being cleared and wiped down regularly. Very pleasant place to go for afternoon coffee..

I've been here a few times and never had a bad meal. The food is really fresh and tasty and the staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

Had lunch here today. Had jacket potato, it was ok. Not a microwaved potato (a plus point as far as I'm concerned!), but the side salad was uninspiring. It was ok.

Called here today our first visit, it's a lovely garden centre lovely plants and nicely laid out after we had looked around and made our purchases we decided to go into the cafe for lunch. It looked fairly busy but not too bad, from what we could see plenty of staff but not eager to serve us. We opted for quiche and salad coffees and lemon meringue pie for after. The quiche was tasteless and the lettuce looked limp and wilted. The coffee was not good really weak, my hubby and I have it black and we do like our coffees this we didn't drink. The meringue pie looked lovely was it? No!! We won't return to cafe but the garden centre had a lot to offer so for that we will return. It seems a shame.

Ordered toasties. Came with old tired, wilted. salad., which we couldn't eat. Very disappointed. Poor quality

I took my Mum here for a browse and for lunch and she absolutely loved it. I had visited the garden centre before, but to be truthful had not even noticed the cafe as i was visiting for specific items.There is an excellent range of very appetising food and the interior and exterior seating areas are both attractive. Coupled with the garden centre it is a fantastic place to take parents and grandparents. Thank you Burleydam and The Orchard for gaining me extra bonus points

Looking for somewhere for nice lunch. Very disappointed. Server did not know if they had certain drinks and didn't offer to check when I asked if he could find out they did serve what I wanted. Tuna mayo baguette very dry mix. Steak baguette tough. All in all poor experience and felt the price was far too high for what you get. Will not be going here again very disappointed. Over priced poor service food quality a let down

Firstly the staff especially the chap who serves the breakfasts are very very friendly and helpful. The food is of a good standard but the prices the prices oh my word the prices !!!!!😭

Thursday lunchtime, cafe was chaotic. My meal was cold before my wife's arrived. Had to sort through knives and forks to find a couple without old food caked on them. Customers who complained were met with a grunt and a shrug. My wife found a hair in her food, limp salad and generally below average food. I would avoid eating here again!

We have been here before and had the most wonderful cream teas but breakfast on Tuesday this week was appalling. We had egg on toast - 1 scrambled and 3 fried. The toast was cold, the scrambled eggs were cold and lumpy and the harassed and sullen lady scraped the last of the egg from the bowl and slapped it on the toast. The fried eggs were horrible - not properly cooked and all slimy.While we waited for coffee and to pay the whole lot got even colder. It was just horrible. Did we complain? No, because we were on our way to East Anglia and didn't have time. But I wish we had. We voted with our feet, left the food and won't eat there again.I agree with the other reviewer who thinks this is the start of a complacent decline - management, do something now!But .......... the young man on the coffee machine was pleasant and the coffee was good.And the actual garden centre is worth a visit - it has some lovely and unusual things in it.

Went here for first time and thought the cafe area was large and extensive. Three areas to pick from, tea bar,salad,sandwich area and hot food bar.Chose the hot food potato ash dinner and a lamb casserole dinner, if you are calling for a snack forget it, I got the impression they were feeding the multitude on my plate alone. And looking at the specials and salads/sandwiches as they went past another winner for a plate full. As you look around for a table there are soft seating and hard backed dinning chairs. Cost for two meals£16-50 and two teas £3-0-0. So lunch for two up to £20-0-0 or less .Can't fault the food,good value.

We've been here lots of times and we are always impressed by the wonderful choice of delicious-looking cakes. The ones we have sampled have been tasty and fresh and are every bit as tasty as they look. The staff are always cheerful and polite and the fact that the cafe is always full is its own testimony.

Well once again the all the staff at the Orchard Cafe did not let us down.I booked a table for afternoon tea and when we arrived our table had a spotless white table cloth lovely floral napkins shiny cutlery and best of all bone Crockery. The afternoon tea consisted of a sandwich of your choice (we all had the prawn) a beautifully made up scone with jam and cream, moist fruit cake and a really pretty cupcake. I wish I had taken photos but we were to busy eating sorry. Everything was fresh and the cakes are all made on site. I would recommend this cafe to anybody wanting a 'Real Afternoon Tea' thanks to Julie and all the staff

Went to Burley dam garden centre for Sunday Lunch as was told it was lovely. Had a walk around the centre and it was lovely especially the Christmas decorations. So off we went to the restaurant for Lunch, stood in the long queue waiting to be served, eventually it was our turn, asked about the Lunch as my husband is Coeliac but was told they did not have anything to eat for Coeliacs and that was all that was stated, so we had a look for a cake and a cup of tea, but again nothing for Coeliacs to eat so just had a cup of tea. When we arrived home we wrote a letter of complaint but we are still waiting for a reply that was approximately 1 month ago, surely in this day and age there could be something to eat for Coeliacs.

Visited last sunday for breakfast. One surly more 'mature lady' serving who really didnt want to be in work and a really nice young lad who couldnt do enough to help ! strange how two people working together can be so different; you would of thought management would be on to this. We use to come here most sundays as it was really well priced and it was hot and very tasty. This time however it was very expensive, and the breakfast was luke warm / bordering cold. also eggs not fried properly; when you get a cup of tea or coffee you get a thimble of milk in a tiny plastic container which means ( if you dont mind queing up again) you have to ask for more by which time your coffee is cold.; to be honest we where all starving so we just ate it rather than trying to take it back. Wouldnt bother again; its one of those places that was good, and good value and has thrived on this reputation but has become complacent and will eventually get a bad reputation; this is probably the start of the decline. Management need to be on the ball and check on customers sitting down and ask if everything is alright. Staff also need some basic customer care staff and ensure the food is hot.Sorry if this sounds like a real moan, but it was all these things together that made it a rather unpleasant experience...oh ant to top it off the cairs are like sitting on a slippy hard as nails rock.

I've dropped in here twice now for cake and coffee and both times the service and food have been excellent. The staff are brilliant, so friendly...and the cakes and coffee are wonderful. Burleydam garden centre itself is well worth a look around too, they have some lovely items. Well worth a visit if you're in the Ellesmere Port area!

We have popped into the Orchard for tea/ coffee etc and a childs meal when we have had our grandson with us but it's not very often we decide to go out for breakfast but today was the exception. The 8 item and 5 item breakfast is well worth the money, it was well cooked, hot and tasty. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend

Have been going here for a few years now, food is always good so is the service. The staff are very friendly and give the whole place a sense of community! Lots of activities going on throughout the year including a tea dance once a year which is great! My only criticism is i wish the tea dance was on more often, heres hoping!

I have to say this is one of my favourite cafes in the ellesmere port area it's definitely worth a try.The staff in there are really friendly and welcoming they serve you quickly and deliver good customer service every time I'm in there.The range of cakes and desserts in there are to die for you are literally spoilt for choice I always stuggle what to decide my personal favourite the caramel shortbread.I also like to order the hot chocolate with cream and mash mellows which is amazing. The staff really work there heart out to give you the best experience possible.Its a clean well set out cafe with plenty of comfy seats to sit at. I definetly recommend a visit to this hidden little gem fantastic ! !!

Polite friendly staff. Excellent service! Delicious breakfast/ lunch or afternoon tea. Very reasonably priced. Fantastic activities to keep the children entertained throughout the holidays. Great offers in the garden centre too!! 👍

Love the food all freshl cooked using ingredients from the garden center,love to going on been to a few cookery demos ,summer tea dance live by it can easily go every day even if it's for a cup of coffee only staff are the best very friendly,helpful make you feel it's a community,atmosphere all in all is the best

We use the orchard at least once a week, the food is always spot on and the staff go out of their way to be helpful. If you want a quick salad, cake or even a roast its spot on and great value for money.

We popped into the garden centre & decided to have some food. So glad we did a lovely panini and super salad on the side. Will definitely go back again yum!!

Having had a browse around the garden centre we went for morning coffee. There is an unbelievable choice of cakes- we eventually chose the cherry scones which were huge and well filled with cherries. As a season card holder we had a two for one on coffee. Very affordable morning coffee. The staff are lovely and polite. We sat outside in the lovely sunshine and passed a very pleasant half an hour. Definitely somewhere we will return.

Excellent choices of food Drinks , snacks , cakes or lunches Food is excellent Situated within the lovely garden centre You can sit in or outside Great service and value too

Really nicely set out, polite good service and quality produce. A good selection of snacks, cakes and meals, teas, coffees and soft drinks.

Have a snack here regulary, always good quality food, at a decent price the Baguettes are really tasty

Food lovely here , plenty of hot/cold dishes to choose from ready cooked in front of you , so you can see what you are getting. Prices not bad on average £5-6 for main course. staff really friendly and chatty which is a bonus. Only draw back it gets really busy on a Saturday tables get busy.
