The Red Door Deli and Diner in Monmouthshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Stopped by with my mum after a mammoth detour due to the Severn Bridge being closed. We were hungry and tired and just happened to come across this wonderful Deli. The food was absolutely wonderful, home cooked, tasty and really reasonably priced. The staff were helpful and friendly and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. The deli was so relaxing with some funky old tunes playing softly in the background. Although we didn't have a look, there was also a huge garden centre next door. There are also some spacious, really clean, toilets just seconds to walk from the deli. Parking is also ample. We will most definitely be returning now. Thanks all! 😍♥️

This used to be my favourite cafe, great service and food. Lovely views and next to a great garden centre. Sadly, my last 3 visits have not been pleasant as a member of staff was vaping whilst they eat thier lunch at the tables outside. It is not nice to have to sit near the vaping smoking whilst you eat a paid for meal. Very off putting and disappointing. Unlikely to return.

What a lovely Saturday treat!!! Popped out for a few bits and bobs at millbrook garden centre Monmouth and next door was just the loveliest deli/diner so we thought we would have a spot of lunch. The staff are Friendly and honestly can't do enough for you even though they are so very busy. The food is just amazing, all home made. I highly recommend the vegetarian Lasagna, fresh, piping hot and full of lovely flavours. my hubby had the home made steak pie with chunky homemade chips, he thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful. We then ordered two jam and cream scones too take away and enjoy later tonight at home as we couldn't eat another bite. All in all a lovely Saturday afternoon had. Would highly recommend this lovely refreshing deli/diner. WE WILL BE BACK!!! Xx Thank you x

Quite often use the cafe after going to Monmouth, not sure we will again. Firstly, it was difficult to find a clear table but someone was clearing. I sat at a table and the lady came to wipe it. Without saying anything she sprayed the table covering me is spray and asked whether it went on me, which it did, she replied not with an apology but telling me it wasn’t bleach so would be fine! On to the food and drinks. We waited over 30 mins for 2 cappuccinos as the guy at the counter was taking orders telling everyone they were busy, but no one was making the drinks. Our food was delivered before the drinks. My husband had a sandwich and salad which was great, my omelette was revolting, it was so overcooked it was tinged with black, it was greasy and flavourless. Absolutely would not recommend the omelette. Moral of story if we visit again go for a sandwich and cold drink and wear a Mac indoors.

Came here for lunch. Had scampi, quiche and pate. Good price and freshly cooked. Nice and airy. They used to do a really good flat white but the last couple of times we have come here they have tasted like a very weak latte; like drinking hot milk which is a shame. Otherwise very decent. Will just stick to the other drinks in the future.

Our second visit to this lovely cafe (next to Millbrook garden centre) fabulous cakes and ice cream. Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely home made food, friendly welcome, great location. We ordered toastie a, paninis and cheesy chips, then back to the counter as we couldn’t resist the delicious looking cakes! Prices, quality and staff all excellent. It’s on the same site as a garden centre, so shares car park and toilets. Loads of indoor and outdoor seating. Perfect for a stop off when going in/out of Wales on A40

Stopped here for lunch and pleasantly surprised. From the outside it doesn't look like much, situated on the same site as a garden centre. Inside the decor is more cafe than flash restaurant but the food is superb, with a good choice on the menu, and very reasonably priced. The home-made cakes are stunningly good. And to cap it off, the staff could not be nicer. A perfect place to stop for tea and cakes, lunch etc.

Visited this cafe for the first time today after it was recommended to us,had a very good breakfast ,which contained good quality bacon and sausage,We had the largebreakfast which included 2 rashes of bacon,2 sausages mushrooms,tomato beans,hash brown and 2 handcut slices of toast. Was served piping hot and tasted delicious.Very friendly staff and the service was excellent.Will definitely be returning

We ordered our food a full English breakfast , eggs Benedict and two drinks at 10 15 am . The drinks arrived immediately and the food just before 11am ! We finished our drinks half an hour before ! The muffins were burnt black and the hollandaise sauce tasted as though it was from a packet the breakfast was okay but not worth the wait. Service was very poor with no communication. Didn't even ask if everything was okay. Only one other couple having coffee so not as though they were busy !

Popped in for morning cake & cuppa, lovely lovely place with just the nicest staff, we messed up a collection from them last week, but they sorted out a cake from the freezer for us ready for our visitors this next week, so kind and so thoughtful. This is our fave spot, from a snack for 2 to big lunch for the whole family (19) or being spoilt with afternoon birthday teas - it’s always a pleasure to go, plus you get to enjoy a fantastic garden centre, try it & love it.

Great service and lovely food. Can’t get better as next to a garden centre! Really tasty food and service was second to none. Would recommend. Garden centre fab too! We both had vegetarian lasagne and planning on the ploughman’s next time. Thank you!

Nice little cafe which is part of a garden centre. Has a great selection of sandwiches and cakes so we just couldn’t cycle

We had to meet a 94year old aunt between Bristol and Hereford and chose the Red Door. We were not disappointed the food was amazing, good portions and well cooked. We will definitely be back

Stopped off en route to Somerset for a quick lunch. My mum and husband enjoyed their panini's but my soup was quite salty. Homemade cakes did look amazing but sadly didn't get to try them. Fairly basic decor in cafe which is based on the edge of the garden centre car park. Toilets are basic and across the car park from the cafe.

Good coffee, excellent cakes and thoughtful customer service of the kind I didn't think existed any more.

On Monday 6th July with Wales just opening after the Covid lockdown my friend Chris and myself had ridden thirty hilly miles on our road bikes and in need of a coffee and food to help get us back to Garway. Turning into the car park the Diner was clearly undergoing some building works ready to open on the Tuesday ( which we were unaware as we had not looked up opening times ) We must have looked in need of sustenance as the very helpful lady advised us they were closed which was fine, but then offered to make us a coffee :-) Well what a star she turned out to be,not only did this kind lady bring out two coffees but a huge slice of Carrot cake and a equally huge slice of Victoria sponge. I explained we had a debit card to pay and only a £5.00 note electrical taped to my mobile phone ! With no card payment available she took the £5.00 and seemed happy with the deal. Wow , the coffee alone was worth this and the cake was awesome. Fully stuffed we struggled out of Monmouth ( uphill towards Garway ) grateful for the service we have had. We will be back again ( when you are open ;-) and happy to pay full price this time around. Many thanks, the two hungry looking cyclists.

It’s not one of the best teas in Monmouth. It’s in a garden centre which is its best attribute, so keen garden lovers can go round afterwards.

I have visited The Red Door Deli regularly for lunch ever since it opened. However over the last few visits the standard of the meals has deteriorated. The lasagne used to be my favourite but it has been very poor so today I thought I would try their Homemade Chicken Curry instead. It was so bad I could not eat it. The curry was sweet and gluey. Lots of chicken but it was chewy like leather. There is no way it was homemade. Even their chips are poor overcooked and reheated. I used to sing their praises and recommend going there to friends. But now I shall have to find somewhere else for lunch. Such a shame. Maybe they have changed hands or got a new chef.

Popped in for lunch with a friend. We found the service to be uninviting and slow. The food was mixed, panini was fine, more adventurous dishes were not. Had a cake, thinking they looked more appetising, we were mislead. Hot drinks were disappointing, particularly the coffee. Don't think we will be hurrying back.

Amazing little find at the garden centre in Monmouth! Cheery staff, Food was fantastic, had the lasagne and the steak pie (there was 2 of us, I'm not that greedy!) But the cake was just.... wow! Will Deffo be going back for seconds! 😍🍰☕

Breakfast and tea was beautiful, and my Baileys cheesecake was delicious. Staff are polite and friendly and the diner is clean and vibrant. Would recommand a visit. =]

Some friends and I stopped in for a coffee and ended up having a meal. The food was brilliant and the staff were really friendly. Will definitely be revisit for the cakes alone!!

Been to this cafe many times over the years and usually had a good experience. I dont know if it has changed hands recently but visited today with wife for lunch and the quality of food has gone badly downhill. Cheese and ham ploughmans arrived with one small piece of rubbery, tasteless 'cheddar' and slices of ham that were full of fat/gristle and mostly inedible. In the middle of the plate, on top of the ham and salad, was a small pot of beetroot slices - any bacteria on the sides/bottom of the pot would have transfered straight to the food !! Two small mounds of pickle and four micro pickled onions also accompanied the offering. My wifes cheese omelette also came, presumably made with the same cheese as on my plate, as it was tasteless and totally unseasoned. I returned my ploughmans to the counter and said I couldnt eat it due to above reasons. I was offered an alternative choice and picked cheese/mushroom omelette, which tasted OK (due to the mushrooms) but when finishing I noticed it had been served on top of half a cooked chip and small pieces of carrot from a salad - neither of which had been ordered. This indicated to me that the plate it was served on was either not washed or it had been put on the plate using implements that were used for other food.The general cleanliness around the inside of the cafe had also deteriorated and we wont be returning again in a hurry. No proper apology or refund given.

Called in for a quick coffee with some elderly friends. On ordering at the counter we requested one dairy free coffee, the young gentleman appeared confused. We explained that we could not have cows milk. He explained its OK the lactose has been removed from the cows milk. He appeared completely confused by this request of non-dairy. So purchased a black coffee.However, we sat down in a bright and clean seating area, only to wait around 15 minutes for drinks to arrive. When they did the young lady managed to knock the tea pot and pour a small amount of boiling water onto one of the groups leg. No apology was given.We had the drinks and left. Not to return again!

Popped in on a Sunday for coffee and cake with my mum. Had a Bakewell slice ate some of it, tasted odd. Turned the cake over and the whole bottom of it was covered in mould. Manager apologised refunded cake price. Personally I would have done more than a cake refund if my customers had that experience. Disappointing.

The tearoom was quite busy but we managed to find a table inside. Food came out promptly, as it was sandwiches and they were pretty standard and as expected. Coffee was very nice, strong but not bitter. The reason I’ve not given higher stars is the cleanliness, the window sills are thick in dust and don’t appear to have seen a duster in a long time!

Stopped on way to Monmouth, been here before when previous people ran it, what a difference, bright airy tea room, staff very nice, ordered breakfast arrived looking fab, nice everything, stop here you won't be disappointed, keep it up, would we return, sure will, soon.....

Been there for various meals,Sunday lunch,tea and cakes,coffee. Good ,friendly service! Very obliging,good parking,delicious food!

Actually we have been coming here for years, really enjoy the garden centre and always stop at Red Door for either coffee and cake or lunch, this time it was lunch; good home cooked style food, plenty of it , presented well and great value.

Have been here a few times over the past months so thought it now deserved a review. This is a really great place to stop, the staff are always polite and welcoming, the food is good and reasonable. It’s a little off the beaten track but well worth a bit of a detour. Always clean and tidy as well. Overall I’d recommend eating here or just stopping for a drink.

We are very frequent visitors to the Garden centre here, it is e xtremely good and we often stop for coffee or a lunch at the Red Door. It is very good value for money and the food is cooked while you wait. The menu is good and the service friendly and efficient. On good days you can enjoy the sunshine by sitting out on the terrace there is also a larger dining room. if you wish to take a party. They have a drink licence so you can enjoy a glass of wine with your meal.

Delicious food excellent service and good value. Sunday lunch for three generations and enjoyed by all.

Stayed at this hotel with 4 of my friends on a Go First holiday.

I am considered a fussy eater when it comes to cake, but I prefer to think of myself as a connoisseur. So, imagine my delight at finding the just about perfect Victoria Sandwich sponge: beautifully moist with decent crumb, and the perfect balance of jam and butter cream. The tea was also very welcome and just right ( if disturbingly served in coffee cups....).

This made a very nice surprise, We had gone out for the day on the motorbikes, and had seen the Red Door Deli & Diner on line and thought we would give it a try.We both had drinks and I opted for the full breakfast. It was delicious proper thick cut bacon, really tasty sausages, beans, Mushrooms, Tomatoe & Toast. We Had the drinks and the Coffee was very good and not Bitter, we had been to a coffee chain the day before and it had a bitter after taste. We felt very welcomed and service was good. We will be going Back .

Called here for lunch twice whilst staying near by and we were not disappointed. Order and pay at the counter and give them your table number. Very good portions and service, extensive menu to please all. Dogs welcome on the veranda outside.

We went here for a brunch and both opted for the all day breakfast. It was delicious proper thick cut bacon, really tasty sausages, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes and either poached or scrambled eggs served with two large slices of toast. Couldn't fault it and will definitely be back for some more of the same. Sorry no pics we were too busy eating

Didn’t find it very friendly and looks as if it could do with updating. Food very average and wouldn’t go again,

This diner is on the Millbrook Garden Centre site on the outskirts of Monmouth. It is well worth a visit for brunch, lunch or early afternoon tea (it closes at 4pm) as there is a good selection of meals, including a gluten free menu. Portions are a good size, nicely presented and very tasty. The staff are helpful and friendly, prices are very reasonable, and the huge slices of home-made cakes simply delicious!

we eat here most sundays when we are in Monmouth and cannot fault the place. Today we had the prawn sandwiches which were stuffed with lots of prawns and served with salad and crisps

Always have good service and fresh food here but yesterday there was a little mix up with my order, not only did the girls put it right but they also made sure we were more than happy with the result before we left. I cannot thank them enough.

stopped here to meet with some friends. Cakes looked absolutely amazing. The service was quick and very friendly and they had no problem with us reorganising the furniture so we could all fit in. Would visit here again

Brilliant cheese ploughman's fresh and tasty plus a plentiful portion. Homemade steak pie was delicious served with great chips carrots and peas. The cakes and desserts looked amazing too will definitely be visiting again. Reasonable prices and great friendly service.

Yo entramos en la cafetería de al rojo con mi hijo, pidió a los panqueques y jarabe de arce de ingenio de bacon. El salió, la camarera poner la placa hacia abajo y se fue. Mi hijo iba a recoger la olla Maple Syrup y rápidamente poner, la cafetera estaba regañando! ! ! ! Llamé a la camarera más y dije, todo lo que hice fue tocar la olla. Me dijo que en ningún momento le dicen la olla era caliente, y tuve que pedir otra taza. Ni una palabra de disculpa. Sha no visitar ya que creo que la comida y el servicio ha visto días mejores.

Llamado a almorzar excelente elección personal de servicio muy amable y servicial y nos hizo una enmienda sin ningún problema a la orden lo recomiendo encarecidamente y volveré

Fuimos al jardín y decidió llamar para un café. Agradable cafetería que ofrece comidas. A un precio razonable. Muchos asientos cubierta si un día de lluvia. Sólo un par de minutos de Monmouth. Loos ubicado como parte de jardín no es el cafe. Vale la...

Tengo muchas experiencias, por lo que volver aquí debe decir algo.

We called in on the off chance, whilst staying locally, and had a descent meal. The guys at the Deli were efficient and attentive, as for the comment on the 'blonde' staff, if this the same staff member, she was excellent. I would call in again, but the adjacent garden centre needs a bit of a Mary Makeover. You also need a signpost on the A40, since the Red door is a hidden treasure in Mitchel Troy. Lots of lovely ice cream

We dropped in for a drink and a bite to eat with our granddaughter. What a cosy place . The staff were very friendly. We had sandwiches which I have to say were the best I have tasted. Our granddaughter had chicken goujons and chips which she raved over (and she can be very choosy). Go try it I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Received appalling service from the female blonde member of staff who blamed us for a mix up with the order. Her colleague even told her to calm down at one point as she was getting quite heated. I have never been treated so badly by anyone, as every other establishment adheres to the notion of "the customer is always right". At no point were we rude to her or act in a manner deserving of her appalling treatment. As a result I took my money back and left, I refuse to give my business after being spoken to so badly! Will not return.

Wow what a place very welcoming and clean, food all home made and fresh, staff friendly and helpful will defiantly return especially for the home made cakes.

Lovely people, lovely place. Can't say enough good. Everyone enjoys their food. Definitely worth a visit if you are near.

This is a lovely place in the grounds of the garden centre- lovely to sit out in the summer and two areas to sit in in the colder weather- staff are friendly- portions large and good value- caters for all tastes.

My wife and I stopped in for lunch and we're really impressed with quality of food and selection. Portion size wasn't an issue either.Staff were friendly and it looked popular with cyclists also.

If you fancy a morning mooching about the garden centre and then a spot of lunch this place is great for you. They do a lovely Lasagne and their salad is always very generous!

Loved this place! Great food and really friendly staff, would definitely recommend it. We had sandwiches but all the food looked great.

The staff were really lovely: friendly and keen to please, but I'm afraid that's the best that can be said. We only ordered a toasted tea cake and Eggs Benedict; the tea cake was burnt and the eggs, quite frankly, unpleasant, with some kind of watery instant hollandaise and no ham or bacon at all. I did let them know, and again they were very pleasant, refunding me for the tea cake and explaining 'that's how [she'd] always made eggs benedict', but I wouldn't be too keen to return. A shame, as its a great spot.

Driving along to the Garden Centre at Mitchell Troy, Monmouth and finding this restaurant, it was lunch time so we gave it a go. Absolutely delightful lunch, it also has a licence for the sale of alcohol. We shall visit again.

Went here for lunch a few weeks back. Food was ok but unfortunately one member of staff let the visit down. She was loudly rude to a customer the place went quiet. It was embarrassing to witness. All other members of staff were pleasant and one even apologised to the gentleman.

Nice place to have lunch or just a coffee and a beautiful homemade cake ,All food freshly prepared ,tasty ,good portions, everything is very clean and it's good value. would recommend to anyone.

Called in for a snack at approx 1pm, restaurant was half empty with a few tables of elderly customers eating desserts, coffee, etc, ordered food and around 45 mins later my wife asked the man (tattoos on arm, no uniform) who was clearing table how much longer the meals would be, he replied well we are busy, everyone has come in at the same time (that's what any other business calls lunchtime) and that's basically it, so you have to wait!! Although the food when it did come was good with an apology from the younger male who was very customer focused, the attitude and response from whoever this other male was rude !

We had a very nice lunch there. Friendly staff, good food and next to great garden-centre. Recommend it to the rest of my family who visited the next day and found it equally good.

The weather was appalling so we decided to pop into the Red Door for a spot of lunch.The food was delicious, the staff very attentive and in no hurry to turn us out into the rain! I would highly recommend a trip to the Red Door whether for lunch or just coffee and cake!

We went on a whim and were glad we did as it was a very pleasant experience and all the food (there were six of us) was tasty, fresh and sufficient in terms of portion size.The decor was straightforward but the staff were very attentive and welcoming and the made the visit a very friendly one.Will definitely visit again and recommend others to do so, although from the reviews of others I suggest you don't cycle, although why cyclist are not welcome is beyond me.

Just had a cycling holiday in Wye Valley and ate at the Red Door twice. Couldn't recommend it highly enough. Lovely decor, friendly staff and tasty food. Would recommend the Red Door omelette and their Welsh Rarebit - delicious !,

The whole place is really nice. I ordered the lasagna and it was perfectly cooked and served quickly. The service was really quick and the staff were polite and helpful.

Thanks to Google Maps, we found this place. We planned to lunch in Monmouth as it was on the way to our next stop, but there was so much traffic getting into the city that we decided to drive around it, and en route was this lovely place. Very easy to find, just look out for the sign!It's a restaurant sharing a parking lot with a garden centre, and loos are across the car park from both. The kitchen closes at 3pm, so a tad later than most pubs closing at 2.30pm for late lunchers.The menu included a range of different things to float your boat, we had a lasagne and a chicken curry, both home made. This was followed by organic ice cream sundae with rich toffee sauce and a chocolate flake. Nom nom nom. This food was excellent. There was also a lot of options for drinks, from tea to fancy lemonade to locally sources cider. We wanted to try everything!Minimum card payment is £5.

We have eaten here many times and have never been disappointed. The food is delicious, freshly made and good size portions. The home-made cakes are gorgeous and I particularly like the ice-cream sundaes. There is also a nice selection of local beers and foods available. The waiting staff are always very friendly and efficient. Highly recommended.

for a garden centre diner this came as a nice surprise - the portions were just right for lunch and the food enjoyable - gluten free options available

Stopped here for lunch, and was very impressed by the friendliness of the staff, and the variety of food on offer. From outside the garden centre looks a little down at heel, but the cafe is great, with seating inside or out. The food is a little pricey, but prepared to a high standard.

We have been using the tea rooms in Millbrook Garden Centre for as long as I can remember its always been good value and a lovely setting. Over the last few years it has been taken over and become the Red Door Deli and Diner. After a refurbishment of the interior and a new menu it has taken the old tea rooms into the 21st century.The atmosphere is as friendly as the old tea rooms but it’s now much more upmarket. The menu has the usual stables like jackets, sandwiches etc and the specials which are really very good. The "Red Door Scramble" and mixture of chorizo potatoes and vegetables in an omelette mix and the "Red Door rarebit" are particular favourites of mine as they are not run of the mill dishes.I last visited when my daughter and we had to go and pick something up from the garden centre so took the opportunity to call in and have lunch together. My only gripe would be that the coffee is served in small cups and there is no opportunity to have anything bigger. Overall very good value, a wonderful setting especially if it's sunny and you can find a table outside and a lovely setting within 2 minutes of Monmouth town centre.If you're going to Millbrook Garden Centre you really must call in and try it for yourself.I read with horror the comments about the cyclists not being welcome on Sunday lunch times as I think the diversity of the customers including the cyclists gives the Red Door its charm. I hope they see sense and find a way to accommodate these as well as the other customers.

My partner and I made a stop here totally at random when out for a drive and I felt that the service provided needs to be commented on and most definitely praised. The solicitous staff and warm welcome was only outstripped by the beautifully cooked food. The door was opened for us on arrival and we were welcomed with a smile and greeting. Nothing was too much trouble for the young lady who served us and she even insisted in carrying my drinks to the table of my choosing. We were allowed plenty of time to decide upon what we wanted to eat and this was presented in a timely fashion, again with good grace.The price is reasonable considering the tasty fayre offered.It is so rare to find such outstanding customer service in this day and age; here at the Red Door Deli you will find this in abundance. Having read previous comments regarding cyclists, I confess to being shocked as when we were in attendance, there were two tables of cyclists, all having a pleasant time, (I think), with no sign of discrimination.Will definitely visit again when in the area!

This used to be a very welcoming stop for cyclist , but having seen the email sent out to some local cycling groups and clubs I will be looking for somewhere else to stop , which is a pity because I often visit Millbrook garden center with wife and mother and call in for a tea and cake whiich we wont be any more

I had always had a fine beans on toast and very nice coffee here.. Our cycling club has received an email from the owners pointing out that cyclists are no longer welcome on Sundays at lunchtime. The tone of the email has made us feel generally unwelcome. Not very good customer relations! Sorry but won't be visiting again.

I ordered supposedly home made broccoli and stilton soup.When it arrived after 15 mins it tasted like the sort you buy from your local supermarket.I can confirm this because it gave me a form of indigestion!

Some while since we visited and so found a change of ownership and management.Firstly, it looks so much more inviting, themed red, but, you guessed that.Table service is new here and it was unobtrusively good.We chose tea to drink, a good blend, china pot , which was clean and did not drip; hurrah!Our food was cooked to order so we had a wait, but not too long.We tried the welsh Rarebit, which came on two thick slices of bread, white or brown option. It was not toasted quite enough for my taste and there could have been more sauce, but, it was good.The accompanying salad was properly prepared but undressed. On request we were offered a choice of honey and mustard or balsamic.The former was a bit too intrusive but at least in came ina little pot, not the dreaded satchet.A very good plateful, for £4.95, darn good value.We shall return, but, it's is more of a snack than a main meal venue , so far, althogh they are dabbling with evening opening for Christmas lunches. Oh, there;s an OAP deal on certain days.Free parking, no bustle!!

I recently spent a month in a rented cottage near Monmouth. I think it was the third or fourth day of my vacation that I spotted the Red Door Deli and Diner at the Millbrook Garden Centre. It was a little tucked away from the road but looked very clean and pleasant so I thought I would give it a try. That was the first of many visits there over the next few weeks. I usually went for morning coffee and pastries. They have an excellent choice of the latter and their coffee is superb. It's a great alternative to trying to find somewhere in Monmouth for coffee and the parking is free!

I won't say I'm a regular but I do drop in often enough to have a couple of favourite items from the cake counter! I can recommend the eccles cakes, and if you're lucky to see the caramel flapjack then go for it!The coffee and tea are very good and the staff are kind enough to provide a glass of tap water to go with the coffee if it's warm day. They've also been kind enough not to shout at us when we turn up dripping wet from cycling there. Cyclists are made very welcome and it's probably my favourite cafe stop in the area.

Reasonably extensive menu, locally sourced good quality food served by friendly staff. Good range of options for most tastes with both a pleasant aspect and atmosphere.

I went to the Red Door Cafe with a friend after visiting the Garden centre where they are based.They have an extensive menu with pretty much something for everyone. The food was cooked really well and nicely presented with helpful staff. When I ordered our meal I paid for tea saying we would have it after our meal and as we finished without having to ask for the tea a waitress brought it to our table. There are plenty of tables inside and out.

Based on reviews and a visit to their website, we chose The Red Door as a half way meeting point with family from S Wales. Disappointed. They've made a really good job of making the building really fresh and inviting, staff were friendly and service efficient but the let down was the food. After viewing the website we'd excepted a selection of deli food but it was pretty basic cafe grub with very little choice for our veggie daughter. I had a mixed platter which was around £9 for very little. Other half had the pasta and I've seen much larger child portions - minuscule.There is plenty of seating, inside and out but once outside you are basically sitting in the garden centre car park. There's a lesson here in marketing. If this had been advertised as just a garden centre cafe it may have been closer to expectations but the website promises much more than is actually delivered.

This is in my local garden centre.Every time I visit I enjoy the home made food.Can get very busy and food takes some time to come but is worthwhile.

I'm a regular customer of the Deli and always come away satisfied. The staff are friendly, the cakes are mouthwatering and I feel they serve the best coffee in the area. If you are looking for a non-chain establishment this is the place to come to!

We live just down the road from the Diner and we both work long hrs and now and then like a Breakfast on a light lunch. Over the years we have tried many cafes and pubs locally and since the Diner has opened we have been there many times. The Breakfast is very good and cooked fresh we also love the Tuna doorsteps that they serve at lunch times. The staff and owners are very friendly and helpful and they also have daily news papers for you to read. Sometimes if they are busy you will have to wait a little longer as all food is made fresh for you, but then that can be expected in any place if they are busy.... Allan & Mandy.

Despite having lived in Monmouth for 9 years and a regular Millbrook visitor I decided not to head off to my preferred garden centre lunch venue at Raglan and try the Red Door. On another day I may have come away with a different impression. Today was busy but not overly so, with lunchtime tables available inside and out. We had a 30 minute wait for 2 sandwiches and chips. Drinks however came straightaway. Sadly the bread was dry, the bacon in the BLT chewy and despite a polite reminder, no vinegar appeared for the chips.It looks a good spot and seems to feature well in Best in Monmouth so we'll have to try again and hope for better results. Certainly it's a popular spot and easy parking.

Our family spent a very happy time here yesterday. The venue is totally unpretentious yet thoughtfully decorated, the staff polite and helpful and the lunches we had were good value and very tasty. Thank you for prviding so many vegetarian options. We shall come again

A bit out of the way - in the Millbrook Garden Centre. Cakes all seem home made, tea and coffee hot and well made and service is always with a smile. A range of lunches are on offer although we have not eaten there so cannot comment on their quality although they look jolly good!!

This Diner is situated in a Garden Centre and as we had not had breakfast, decided to try it.The bacon was thick and delicious, eggs soft and runny, with a golden yolk and everything else that goes with a cooked breakfast, was cooked to perfection.It's a small place, but they can cater for larger parties(busloads?) in a separate room. Everywhere was spotless and bright and the people couldn't have been more helpful and even suggested places to visit locally.We were staying at a Travelodge about 3 miles away, with nowhere to eat nearby, but a pub (not great), so we breakfasted here for four days and each day the food standard was high.If we are ever in the area again, we will definately be eating here.
