The Walled Garden Coffee Shop & Restaurant in Rotherham

I’ve unfortunately been here a few times and it’s staggering how slow the service is. Stood in a queue just to order for over half an hour to then be told a 40 minute wait for two meals. It’s been the same every time I’ve been. Food is very average and not worth the wait.

At a eye watering £3:95 for a brownie i was tempted to make the kids share one. However, they were big enough to guarantee at least an 8min break in the whinging. I had a sausage roll and a Yorkshire tea that were more reasonably priced. Sat outside as rammed inside - popular place.

The food was very nice but not worth the time it takes to queue. I think I was in the queue for over half an hour, I don't understand how it was so slow. I don't think we will bother again, rather go to restaurant and sit down for that half hour...

Lovely food, accurately priced for the place you at, but is a nightmare trying to get a seat, We went last weekend, and all 3 of us got in the queue order our meals. Once we had paid, we were walking about looking for somewhere to sit for 10 minutes. The waiter had brought our food out and was following us about looking for a table, the problem is that people are coming in to the cafe and sitting down while there partners are in queue when they are perfectly able to stand there aswell, I can recall of 3 people sat down at separte tables that didn't have food or drinks. We did finally find somewhere to sit, which was in the glorified marquee they have on the end of the building where dogs are allowed. When we had eaten our food and got up and walked back through the cafe to leave. The same 3 people I had noticed when looking for a table were still sitting waiting for their partners to bring drinks/food from the queue. This seating issue needs addressing because we were not the only people in this situation.

Nice coffee (2 cappuccinos) and 2 sausage rolls, tasted nice served warm but unfortunately one of them had a hair on it. Friendly staff but it was slow, took 20 minutes went to the cafe at the front that doesn't serve hot food. Echoy atmosphere, but nicely decorated and clean. Overall nice but the hair was very off-putting!

Food is always delicious and good value. Gets very busy at times and table service is not offered - you can struggle to find a table. Always worth a visit however when visiting the garden centre, provided there is a table free. The cakes are highly recommended, especially the Wentworth tart and raspberry scones!

Went for afternoon tea, unfortunately not somewhere I would go again. Sandwiches were poor and there was a mix up so not all choices had been put on. Didn't get tea till we were half way through our food and others got tea and no food till much later. Venue is lovely but it just felt unorganized, such a shame.

Excellent food and drinks great service and the cakes are amazing lovely and clean and bright and airy

Food nice hot and fresh - chips box standard. Excellent selection of desserts. Ordering is done through an aisle system as opposed to table service. Lovely atmosphere.

Love Wentworth garden centr plus Bothy . Highly recommend to family and friends.

Went to the garden center and called into the cafe. It was very busy but we managed to get a table. Only had drink and hubby got served quite quickly on the drinks and cake counter. There was a bit of a queue at the meals counter but it was around mid day. The meals did look pretty good there were plenty tucking in. Has an outside seating area when the weather permits. Called in today was still busy but got a table easily. Had something to eat , the gardeners platter(ploughmans to you and me ). Great if you like cheese not so great if you don't. Hubby was happy though and i nicked his ham ☺️

Very busy on a Saturday lunchtime, but good service and staff friendly, helpful and attentive. Thoroughly recommended.

Thee best cakes and sausage rolls but the atmosphere is very canteen, noisy and very impersonal.

Went to Wentworth Gardens so tried the cafe for the first time. Had their cheesecake and Wentworth tart. I'd say it's a good cafe but nothing special. Maybe next time I'll try the Bothy. The Cappuccino medium was just all froth which was disappointing but the latte was nice. Overall, as I said there was nothing extraordinary before going there reading the reviews I was expecting something different. But I'd go there again maybe as we went just 45 mins before closing that's why.

We were greeted by the lovely Adele, who showed us to our reserved window table. Wedudnt have to wait king as I had ore booked. I am Coeliac and was the best afternoon tea I had in a long time.even a proper size scone. Adele kept coming back and checking on us with more coffee.definitely recommend especially for gluten free .

We love it here, would visit more if we could afford it, and we already visit 2-3 times a month. Caters for dietary needs including gluten free & dairy free, and can adapt orders according to need. The breakfasts are fabulous. The staff are friendly & helpful. The cakes are amazing. Gets very busy and there's no internet signal once in the building so if you're meeting someone make sure you let them know where you are before getting inside. Toilets are always clean & there is disabled access for parking, entrance/exit & toilets. There is a conservatory and a patio attached to the walled garden restaurant/cafe which allows dogs too. Dogs aren't allowed in the main section though. They also have water bowls outside for dogs.

Love coming here. Food all freshly made and really tasty. Good selection to choose from. The cakes are to die for!! No good if you're on a diet tho 🤣. Love to look around the shop whilst here too. Always busy but can still get a table. Only downside is no WiFi and mobile signal isn't great.

First Visit whilst up North great food great service lovely place

Fantastic place to visit, great foods and garden centre plus the lovely shop.

One of our regular places now that Costa went woke

Superb food, and decent prices. Breakfast actually surprisingly affordable! Lovely staff, very helpful. Cakes are incredible, as are the sausage rolls. One very small thing - there’s no black pepper on the premises anywhere! So white pepper it is. But really, a cracking place to eat.

We love Wentworth Garden Centre! The food in the main cafe is lovely too, lots of choice. I had the halloumi wrap (see photo). It does take a while for them to bring the food out as it is a popular place but it’s worth the wait.

Great food , not too expensive , the burgers are delicious.....nice surroundings and good baby changing facilities..

Staff members were very helpful when I enquired about allergens, even going to see the chefs to check what I could/couldn't eat, despite it being extremely busy the staff member I asked made the time to check properly for me which was super appreciated and made it feel safe for me to be able to eat there. I only give 4 stars simply because it was so busy that it was a bit overwhelming for me - the trials of going in half term I suppose!

Very nice food good will definitely be going back it was lovely walking around the garden centre

OK but a little on the expensive side

Food excellent service was a bit slow but the place was full and very busy. The staff were lovely and very helpful. Truly a place to go especially with family.

Beautiful array of 💐 flowers and plants. Excellent raspberry scone cream tea!👍

Always lovely, staff also lovely

A mid morning coffee whilst sat outside with my dog . Beautiful location with amazing walled garden centre .

staff are always terrific. Breakfast was good, sausages particularly nice. Would have liked things slightly hotter! A nice modern setting with outside seating for better weather, cakes and pastries look fantastic.

Very busy when me and my wife visited at 1pm so would recommend avoiding around this time if you can. The staff are really nice, excellent coffee and cake selection

Love this place and visit regularly for plants and cuppas!

Had some lovely breakfast and lunches here. Good coffee. The cakes look really nice. Usually very busy. friendly service. Approximately £55 for 4 of us to eat and drink.

Wentworth garden centre cafe is always a pleasure visit. I had a roast hog sausage roll. Very nice.

Love it, I have been every week for over ten years and it gets better.

Friendly and helpful staff. The place is kept clean and tidy. Food is fresh and enjoyable.

Dear Wentworth Garden Centre Cafe, I am writing to express my disappointment with the portion size of the fish and chips I received at your cafe. I counted only 13 chips on my plate, which is barely enough to feed a small bird, let alone a hungry human! When my food was delivered, the fish was presented on top of the chips, completely obscuring them from view. I almost said, "Where are the chips?" before I realised they were hidden under the fish. When I expressed my concern to the staff, I was told that this was your "normal portion size." I find this hard to believe, as even the mice in my garden have bigger portions than this! To your credit, I was eventually granted 8 more chips, but by that point, I was already so hungry that I could have eaten the entire bag of potatoes in your kitchen. I must also comment on your serviettes. They are tiny and single ply - talk about stingy! I feel like I would need to use ten of them just to wipe my nose, let alone my mouth. Overall, I must say that my experience at your cafe was less than satisfactory. My partner and I will not be visiting again, but will instead stick with our much better local garden centre - at least they know how to feed their customers! Sincerely, A Disappointed Chip-Lover

A great place for a full breakfast or just a cuppa and a snack. Not the cheapest, but definitely the tastiest. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Surprisingly good cafe with great range of cakes, all delicious. Just down the road from Wentworth House and open later than their tea room.

Massive place, great for little ones and grown-ups

Very friendly staff and excellent service Good food and a very good place to visit and eat.

Absolutey beautiful place but the food was terrible. Ended up leaving my food and getting cream bun instead, can't go wrong with a cream bun as long as you don't mind paying 5 pound for one.

Delicious home cooked food with a good variety to choose from. Ample seating but does not feel crowded even when busy.

Really nice food, will definitely go back

Great food and great deserts very tasty

Only given 4 for service ONLY because of excessive amount of custom - a regular occurrence.

Try the treacle tart - very naughty, but very nice! The was a brass band playing Christmas carols while we were there which made it even more enjoyable a visit.

Great food with a wide range of cakes and food. On the expensive side for what they offer but still happy to go

Good food, and a very busy establishment. The food is very clearly why it's so busy!

Had festive Yorkshire pudding with stuffing and turkey, do not recommend. No taste to anything, apart from the carrots. Stuffing was missing and then brought later as soggy ball, not oven cooked at all as expected. Would have been nice also to have cranberry and pigs and blankets with it, that’s what I call festive and what’s expected for £13 from a cafe! Lemon meringue, looked delicious, taste awful just all sweet and not tart lemon flavour in any way as it should be. A lot of money spent on my mother’s birthday treat and came out really disappointed. Waiting staff and people serving were pleasant. Just an idea, it might make their life easier if tables were numbered. They spent more time looking for the table numbers which were given at the till point. Took over 30 mins for our food to arrive. I had to ask where it was as everyone around who arrived much later seemed to get there’s quite quick. A few jokingly commenting that ours had not turned up. That’s second poor experience I’ve had in two visits, won’t go again.

Once you get in, it'll be worth while

Nice to call to get a coffee after shopping, with a large seating area, and large of section of hot meals, or just a sandwich.

Nice food and friendly staff. Decent price and reasonable amount of space, so we were able to get a seat inside even at peak time on a bank holiday. Seems to be the best out of the restaurant available.

have not been over 3 years, mainly due to covid pandemic. we visited 1:40pm on saturday, unsurprisingly, there wasn't long queue. (probable a pub was also opened in garden centre) and plenty of empty tables. the standard of food was maintained. the fish butty was delicious, the chocolate tart and fruit cake were tasty.

Visited today with my partner for coffee and cake. The coffee was tasteless, even with an extra shot. The almond cake was bland and tasteless as was the Victoria sponge. Spent £13.50 and was disappointed. The service was ok.

Sausage rolls were immense. Finished it off with some ice ream which was lovely too. Nice clean cafe with friendly staff and plenty of space to sit in and outside

Nice, fresh food cooked to order at a decent price and good size portions.

Wonderful Wentworth Breakfast. Staff v friendly and helpful.

Good food reasonable price great for family and friends

Amazing food, especially the desserts

The food is always lovely and a drink of tea

Nice food and cakes, prices slightly high . But you pay for what you get. I have been here loads of times for lunch. You can also walk off your lunch round the garden centre after. Plenty of free parking, although always packed any time of the day. Very popular place to visit, also wheelchair friendly. There is a animal petting place here, garden plants and ornaments. Butchers, fruit and veg stalls also.

Took ages to get food, stood around 20 minutes to get a slightly overpriced sandwich. Once sat down we were completely forgotten about. I realise it's a busy Sunday but the experience was subpar overall.

Always do nice cakes here when we visit the garden centre. Downside is that it can often be busy and difficult to get a table. Service is friendly, but usually quite slow, despite being well staffed

Afternoon tea zero stars for price less than zero for quality shocked how bad it was

Come here if you want to listen to the sound of the sands of time pass through the hourglass of your life. Watch lives lived out in quiet desperation as you hope that the next waitress to exit the kitchen is bearing your order. Going to a garden centre on a bank holiday was never going to be the smartest of moves however the cafe experience started badly with an officious chap manning the entrance who refused to let me even look inside to see if there was space until he'd taken my details for covid stuff. Please don't let power-crazed people be the first point of contact for your cafe. It also seems that they have not been able to adapt from the self-service system to waitressing yet and our food took just under an hour and when it arrived, was missing a side. This was brought quickly however. Spotlessly clean throughout.

Popped in for some tea and cake and had no problem finding a table as this place is very large and also has a lot of outside seating. Staff were really good even in these challenging times and the cake? Beautiful, and so was the bit I stole from the wife.
