Thirsk Garden Centre in Hambleton

A lovely garden centre with a great rage of plants and gifts to buy. The clothes shop was well stocked and they were just getting ready for Halloween and Xmas so the displays were looking good already. Nice tea and coffee and a good menu. All the plants looked in good condition and some lovely trees too.

Been here several times and always had good coffee and great scones. My wife’s cherry scone this time was disappointing in that the cherries had been diced into indeterminate slivers rather than the large pieces of cherry previously experienced. Not quite as good ! In spite of this, I’m giving a full five stars because the scones and coffee are still top class - possibly best in the area. The cafe area was clean and tidy and serviced regularly and staff are friendly and helpful.

Well staff lovely. Nice atmosphere and environment. What has happened to the scones? Half the size and when I tried to cut it to slather on the butter and jam it was so dry it just fell into crumbs and chunks. Very disappointed 😞

Been here twice in the last two days as weather has been rubbish. Both times late in the day so didn’t expect much. First day had scones and coffee both scones were very fresh and moist. Day two and lemon drizzle cake and another scone very nice. Staff very welcoming and all areas looked very clean with the tables constantly being cleared and wiped down. Definitely recommend this place.

We had a really tasty and filling lunch, plus very good coffee, here last week. Good menu choices. We sat in the garden area, on one of the rare sunny days. They have added some super comfy garden furniture, including some with parasols if you prefer shade. We have been coming here for years and were concerned that the menu and options had gone down recently, but the food from this latest menu is excellent and the counter options of pastries, cakes and especially the scones were top class. Huge scones, beautifully baked. It's a great place whether it's sunny or raining, as the indoor area is equally comfy. We recommend you try this cafe and definitely try the scones!

Overpriced and disappointed at visit just made. I had a fruit scone which was too dry as only issued with two portions of butter and it was too dry even with the jam provided. Husband had a cheese and ham toastie which he said was tasty but I felt totally overpriced at £8.10. To have small portion of chips to accompany it was a further £2.65. Really. !!!!! Won’t have any eats here again and will refrain to coffee only, and go to Whitegates cafe instead.

We’ve been coming here on and off for ages if we’re in the area and the Cafe is really really nice, but…. I think they are missing a trick, the dining area is huge, nicely done out with tasteful furnishings and a fabulous outdoor area but they just don’t seem to have a very extensive menu anymore for the facilities available to them. I also agree with other reviews that it seems a bit of a rip off to have to pay extra on top of £7.95 for a ciabatta roll for a salad garnish or a few chips it makes it quite expensive. Also the menu is very small, no cooked meals beyond a quiche or steak pie. Get a full English on and a few ‘family favourites’ you’d make a killing ! The other odd thing is you can’t order the salad garnish or chips till 11:30, I can’t imagine what they’re doing that’s so busy they can’t serve those till 11:30, there’s no ‘change over’of menu going on that I can see. It’s such a lovely , busy place and quality ingredients that if they did Sunday lunches they’d do so well, as I said before , full English , family favourites etc maybe even an occasional bistro night ! Of course we’ll still visit , it just baffles us as to why it’s such a basic menu, my husband is a chef and he says it everytime ‘they’re missing a massive trick in here’ !

Stopped off for some lunch whilst in the area. Nice selection of quality food, ie pulled pork sausage rolls, italian rolls with tasty fillings, quiche & homemade pies. Opted for a huge cherry & a cheese scone, both were delicious. Nice clean huge dining area. Decent prices too.

Absolutely dire! The service was abysmal with bad tempers behind the counter, the food( actually I ended up with a cold croissant that was as dry as a lump of concrete!) the coffee was cold and thrown onto a saucer , the dining room was loaded to the gunnels with tables waiting to be cleared, though while I tried to eat a rock hard croissant someone did finally start to clear the tables. The prices are sky high and the actual garden centre would fit on a postage stamp it’s so small and crammed with exorbitantly high products. Then the ladies loo, Disgraceful, with cleaned loos, hand drier that refused to work I leave the rest to your imagination, basically don’t go there.

What a disappointment, 4 of us visited here today had sandwhiches and pannies, all they. Came with was crisps, no salad or coleslaw not like it used to be at all

This used to be lovely place to come. Since it’s been taken over it has really gone downhill with the price and quality. I ordered an Italian sandwich and was expecting something nice for the price. What I got was basically a service station style sandwich, it was just missing the plastic container (At least I was saving the environment which is the only positive). In the lovely small print if you want garnish with a little bit of coleslaw it was an extra £1.20 if you then also order chips it’s £3.50 for what I would call a regular size but f you went to a McDonalds. The one thing I will say is the staff has always been friendly and that’s the only positive I can give.

Without question the worst coffee I have had in years. I asked for it to drink in and it came in a paper cup. It was massively overpriced and it was almost all cold foam. Four staff members were so busy chatting that they could hardly have even noticed me.

First visit to this garden centre and we arrived late afternoon desperate for a coffee & cake. The cafe was still open & we got coffees, a delicious carrot cake & a piece of brown & blonde brownie. Staff were lovely & a little error on our order was swiftly & generously resolved by Leo. All the staff we met in cafe were lovely. Unfortunately we didn't leave long enough to thoroughly explore all garden centre but I know my friend bobbed back following day, she said to buy some garden furniture she had seen, but I reckon it was for another slice of carrot cake. We had a puppy with us and were very grateful dogs are allowed in garden centre & on patio area of cafe.

Poor new menu, all the most popular items have been removed sadly and portion sizes reduced! No prawns or egg mayonnaise, no chips with salad and less ham. Shame after coming here since cafe first opened and always returned almost weekly for one prawn and one ham salad which both came with chips on a large plate. Certainly gone downhill in the last few months- why?

I have frequented this Garden Centre for years and always found the food okay. I came the other week and the new sandwiches were great, so much flavour! It's nice to see a bit of change on the menu. I always got the same thing before but I am looking forward to coming back and trying something new again!

Visited with 2 friends for lunch and was not disappointed with the new menu! Old faithful coronation chicken sandwich was still available as were gluten free options. Having been coming for years it was nice to see a bit of a change with the menu but still keeping the same high quality Will definitely be back :)

This place has been a 'go to' venue for our family for many years. Disappointed today to see that the portion sizes have been reduced, and the prices seem to have gone up. Smaller plates make it look like you are still getting a lot but the salad portions are reduced and chips (which used to be included) are now extra. £40 for lunch for 3 (and we only had 1 course each) makes this an expensive family lunch out.

Unfortunately. Gone down hill. Sandwich. Cold And. Couldn’t. Toast. A cheese scone. O idea why. Not Over priced. Now

Price of 2 scones to take away was £3.10 each in a bag with no butter included - same price as eat in. That makes them more expensive than Betty's fat rascals to buy. Not even the best scones by far. Shan't be returning.

If you’re vegan then don’t bother. You will be charged more money to eat in the restaurant than non vegans. We usually spend well over £100 each visit and have probably spent thousands over the years. We will never come back to this garden centre.

Oh dear, where have the wonderful scones gone. They are now a quarter of the size that they used to be, the size has decreased but the price has risen. Such a shame. I don't mind paying good money for quality products, please bring the best scones in Yorkshire back.

I have been coming here for years as its a half way point for meeting friends. Always been lovely food, but this time noticed prices had shot up. I ordered a sandwich which was terrible the cheapest thinnest bread I've ever seen, it used to come in lovely bread with a nice salad and crisps, not anymore! My friends had a ciabatta and it wasn't a ciabatta. What a shame as it was always such good quality food. We wont be returning anymore. We were talking to another couple of tables who said exactly the same thing.

Went with family, adults and children. First time visit. Staff friendly and they had a reduced menu on due to staffing levels. Children's ham sandwiches looked tasty , made with proper ham . Homemade soup was lovely. Will be back

Always worth a visit for cake when you've finished shopping. Good selection of freshly baked cakes including ones suitable for the grandkids. Never been disappointed.

Can’t fault the service or quality of food, which was fantastic. Very clean and nice environment. Would definitely visit again if in the area.

I've previously visited the cafe for coffee and cake, but this time a whole group of us wanted to meet, for a meal, and we are coming from some distance to convene there. I wanted to reserve a table - the group haven't seen each other for a long time, and how dire if we arrived and had to sit scattered about. The man I spoke to was unfriendly and unco-operative. Impossible to book. We don't do that. Plenty of room and so on. I explained why I was asking, but he really didn't care. So as we couldn't guarantee we could all sit together, the cafe has lost 12 customers who would have bought lunch, and no doubt shopped at the Garden Centre before and after. Another garden centre was superb, and booked a table for us immediately, in a very friendly manner. What a shame.

This is such an easy place for lunch, and one of our 'go to' favourites. The salads are wonderful, large platefuls of salad, coleslaw, chips and your choice of protein, Highly recommend the ham, and also the coronation chicken, It's always busy which is a testament to how good it is.

Called in today with my husband and daughter for lunch. Joanne and I had Coronation Chicken jacket potatoes with salad whilst hubby had a ciabatta - which was actually an ordinary bread bun advertised as a ciabatta - with a paltry few crisps! Coronation Chicken...

Ordered a sandwich which was the cheapest nastiest bread, no salad garnish etc, have to purchase this separately, I remember when the sandwiches came with salad crisps and coleslaw and the bread was beautiful, so disappointing and very expensive menu, won't return.

Long time since I’ve been to the cafe,was massively disappointed and will not be returning or recommending it. Ordered two drinks,two lots of sandwiches,chips to share and cake each. When sandwiches arrived nearly asked for a refund,how can you possibly feel it right to charge...

First visit to this cafe positive part the seating and the building is lovely. The negative part is the food we had,egg mayonnaise sandwich’s made with 2 slices of cheap white bread and a few bits of cress thrown on top no garnish £5 each...

Great place to stop with or without kids. Food good quality but arrives quickly. Good coffee. Facilities clean.

The food is great, but I used to be able to bring my dog in with me. Now, they’ve banned dogs completely, and won’t even let them in the outside area. Automatic 1 star rating from me as a result. Will happily change to 5...

We each (4 of us) had the extremely good value afternoon tea. Service and attentiveness of staff were impeccable. Environment clean and welcoming. We are regulars and will continue to be so. Anyone can write a bad review if they are the slightest bit disgruntled....

We've used the garden centre as a nice easy lunch spot for a number of years now and the ability to get a good bowl of soup, a tasty scone or a salad ticks a lot of boxes for us. Visited yesterday and our daughter...

Ive been going to Thirsk coffee shop for years now. I have always felt a bit miffed, when dogs are barking and smelling around the tables when I'm trying to eat my food. So many cafes now encourage you to bring your dogs, I just...

Haven't had such rude service in quite a while. The red haired girl in the cafe was the rudest we've been treated in a very long time. I suggest a role in customer service is not for her, or perhaps learn how to make eye...

Met here for a wee lunch half way between our house and my daughters. Used to live in the area and ate here often. But boy it has gone down hill. The food was average and the prices were very expensive £8.50 for a sandwich...

Sadly our favourite coffee shop in Thirsk, Yorks Tea Rooms was closed, we decided Thirsk garden centre was a convenient alternative. Whilst I was not expecting the quality of York Tea Rooms, our choice of food was extremely disappointing, I ordered a coronation chicken sandwich...

We went to the cafe at Thirsk Garden Centre today, our first visit. The service was fast and efficient and the food was lovely. The staff are friendly, I would definitely go back if I were in the area

Lunch today, ham salad, love the new chips, very helpful staff, great coffee, pleasant relaxed atmosphere.Thanks to all.

My wife and I come quite often to buy plants etc and have a meal which we we have always enjoyed. We came last Thursday lunch joined by my sister and husband and were very disappointed with the menu. No quiches, just scampie and what...

Visited today with friends and children. Easy ordering process at the table via a mobile phone. The portions are generous and the cakes were lovely. The cafe is nicely spread out and the new extension leaves plenty of room. It wasn’t too busy when we...

One of the best garden centres in the area. There is everything and the plants are well cared for and well presented.

We arrived after not visiting for several years. Wow what a difference. New cafe but counter for ordering not really attached to it. When ordering you need your table number you are then given a bleeper for when order is ready but it's delivered to...

It’s several years since we visited this garden centre and my impression is that it is bigger, smarter and more comprehensive than before. I can’t comment much on the coffee shop menu as we only had coffee and scones - but what fantastic scones they...

Lovely coffee shop, nice & airy, good selection on menu & reasonably priced. friendly helpful staff. Nice selection of plants

As a dog owner myself, we have often used the café, I can understand why they have taken this decision, as I have seen dog owners abusing the fact that dog's were allowed in by not cleaning up after their dogs, and sadly this effects...

I have spent hundreds of pounds in store and was excited and couldn't wait to have a coffee in the new cafe. Imagine my surprise and disgust when I was told that dogs are not allowed anymore, even though there was an outside space. I...

Eventhough the cafe is outside dogs are not allowed .I cannot understand the mentality of this . They were always allowed inside .. it’s a garden centre not a restaraunt

Decided to stop here after visiting the carboot up the road. Plenty of parking spaces and we were welcomed by the polite gentlemen at the front desk. The garden staff seemed to be polite and friendly. It's not a huge garden centre but has enough...

Decided to call in to the thirst garden centre for lunch today. I was surprised at how bad the supervising of the que for the coffee shop was. There was two yellow lines by the door, but then there was nothing after this. We were...

Food is just lovely. Plentiful and really well done.The best covid policies I've seen anywhere. So well organised, they then bring food to you and place on a spare table for you to take it. Brilliantly distanced and cleanliness. Without doubt, the best covid policy place to eat, anywhere

Decent enough Soups of the Day but found it a little strange that they brought food and drink (separately) to an adjacent table for us to pick up from there. I think they try a little too hard to blend “different” ingredients into the soups rather than have a straightforward flavour. Prices aren’t cheap but quality and quantity is fair.

Came here for breakfast with my partner having recently bought a holiday home nearby.Firstly, this is a dog friendly place which is excellent as we will always holiday with the pooch. There is a seperate section of the cafe for those who would prefer to not dine with doggies present.We went to the cafe for breakfast, so we were a little disappointed to find a very limited menu. With little choice on offer, we ordered two bacon sandwiches which were tasty and generously filled, but extremely expensive. I completley understand about having to scale back due to C19, so I look forward to enjoying a larger choice and hopefully better value for money in the months ahead.There are no indications that cash won't be accepted anywhere in the garden centre, but when I tried to pay at the till in the cafe with cash I was (politely) asked if I could pay by card as there wasn't enough cash in the till. This needs attention, either accept cash and be fully prepared or don't accept cash at all.The garden centre itself is nicely laid out, has a wide selection and seems reasonably priced.We will go back.

It is always a pleasure to stop for lunch and enjoy the fresh food and inviting atmosphere, the coronation chicken salad with chips was delicious

You can usually tell a decent cafe / restaurant by the number of customers and Thirsk Garden Centre Coffee Shop has always been well populated whenever we have visited. Although they serve pretty good coffee it’s more than a coffee shop as they have a realistic menu for lunches. Today they had choice of three soups, each chock full of imaginative ingredients and served with crusty bread and choice of butter or spread. Seating is at large tables with plenty of room and wicker armchairs. You are given an electronic device at service check-out and take this to your table to alert the waiting service when it’s time to bring out the food. There’s an adequate supply of clean cutlery and serviettes and an astonishing array of sauces / preserves you can spoon into small dishes and take back to your table. Service was fairly quick.

Although the restaurant was busy we were able to find a table after leaving our order at the counter. The service is quick and efficient as they use high tech gizmos to find our table. Had quiche, salad and chips, my wife had ham salad with chips and both meals were adequate portions and very tasty. A nice alternative to a proper Sunday lunch of meat & veg. which incidentally they don't cater for.

With being in the food industry for many years, I have eaten and enjoyed many a Bacon Sandwich. I have to say my favourite at this moment is to be experienced at the Coffee Shop at The Thirsk Garden Centre. 3 rashers of quality back bacon (thankfully unsmoked) in an exceptional Ciabatta Roll, it is to absolutely die for. I promise you I don’t offer praise lightly, but in this case I do, you have to experience it. Enjoy.

Went here for lunch with my daughter and grandchildren.the place was heaving.lots of people seemed to be getting a table before choosing their food.we struggled to find a table as we chose our food and drinks first.we eventually found somewhere suitable for 2 toddlers and a pram.having eaten here several times before we were looking forward to lunch.the menu has changed on sheets now rather than the specials board.more difficult to select when the cafe is very busy.I was slightly disappointed when it arrived My jacket potato looked like the salad had seen better days and was very small.the prawns were swimming in Marie rose sauce.My daughter ordered cheese with her potato and had to ask for it as it had been forgotten.Yes we will return but probably just for coffee and cakes.The lunch menu is nowhere near as good as it was previously

The cafe and coffee shop is very good and has a good reputation. The garden centre is very good and has a good selection of plants for inside and out.

Needs some improvement. Quite an extensive menu but staff not very understanding of dietary needs. Despite specifically asking for no spread on our kids’ sandwiches due to dairy intolerance, both arrived with butter. They did replace them but it felt rather awkward. Then husband’s cinnamon toast (which is on their vegan menu) arrived buttered too! He felt too awkward to return it since this is a life choice rather than an intolerance for him but why should we be made to feel uncomfortable? They have a vegan menu, so surely their staff should be made aware and their ordering process streamlined so kitchen staff are easily informed when orders are placed. Clearer allergen info on their menu would be helpful too. Also dairy free/vegan cake options and children’s options are very much lacking. Seemingly they are more dog friendly than child friendly, since their kids’ area has all but vanished. The eating area was very hot and uncomfortable to eat in. Food arrived quickly however and was quite nice. Moderately priced.

Called for a full English breakfast as we have done several times in the past , only to be told we don’t do those anymore but after looking at the menu on offer I pointed out that all items to make a breakfast were there .I asked why that was and the reply was We don’t need to do full English or Sunday lunch we are busy enough My opinion was that they make loads more money selling them individual The poached eggs with beans extra was very nice, but not what I wanted Will possibly call again because it’s convenient when visiting the area .Another little moan would be sat next to a table we’re there was a big exited dog sniffing about Dogs should have there own area And perhaps smiling lessons for the staff would be handy especially with it been Christmas time

Stopped here for breakfast as we usually do when passing this place Only to be told we don’t do breakfast at this time of the year “we are to busy “Yet they do pouched eggs on toast , beans on toast, and bacon sandwich’s so why can’t they put it on a plate and call it a breakfast.Been in the catering business all my life it’s not rocket science to gear up for the busy times and deliver what the public want .Glumly staff wouldn’t hurt to smile probably go else were next time.

The Thirsk Garden Centre was one of my favourite places for a ‘Full English’ so conveniently placed on the A1 A19 corridor...... Then a while ago the unusual but tasty triangular black pudding disappeared off the menu..... Then recently the ‘Full English’ disappeared with the kitchen offering a pale imitation of a Breakfast Menu....Massively disappointing and a real shame for all of us who enjoyed the excellent start to the day previously offered!

A welcoming and spacious cafe in this garden centre, which is so handy for those travelling the A19. Lovely scones - cherry and fruit varieties both highly recommended, especially as you can have as much butter and jam as you wish. Good pot of tasty tea, and always a friendly welcome. One of our favourite pit stops!

We often stop off at this garden centre coffee shop and cafe, and find a friendly and efficient welcome. As it is situated just off the A19, it's a very welcome refreshment stop. Good sized offerings, and we can recommend the generous and tasty scones, and a good pot of tea that you can actually taste (unlike many other places). Also, a nice touch to have a buffet style counter for selecting butter, jams, marmalade and other condiments. Lovely to sit with views of the garden on colder days, and outside when the weather permits.

We called in for lunch during our annual visit to Thirsk. As usual the food was delicious. I had a Ciabatta Cheese and Bacon, my wife had a Brown Ham Sandwich. Both were served with crisps and a small salad. To be honest we could have shared one as we took half of each back to our cottage!

Visited from lunch extremely pleasant surroundings clean and staff friendly and efficient Both of us had the cheese and onion quiche which actually tasted of real cheese and not the usual synthetic stuff. Pastry was light and chips were hot and crispy on the outside.Small side of salad which had a lovely dressing drizzled over it.

After a visit to York Minster called at the garden centre for lunch. A small queue but served quickly. A fairly limited lunch menu (much better on Sundays) but we were more than happy with what we had. I had quiche with salad and chips my wife jacket potato with ratatouille, other friends had ham and chips sandwiches etc. The food arrived very quickly and was very tasty. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming.

Great place to go and meet up with friends and family staff are polite and helpful and the food is well worth the visit

Never disappoints here in the restaurant. Perfect!!!! Great selection on menu, weather your having breakfast lunch snacks etc.

Regular customer here. Highly recommend the quality of their plants for the garden - they flower for a long time! Cafe lovely environment, especially the outside section in the sheltered garden. Good points system cards to make savings at future visits. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Plenty of parking.

Stopped for breakfast. Enjoyed a lovely soft roll filled with 3 veggie Linda Macartney sausages and a cup of tea. I will certainly pop in here for breakfast again if I am passing this way.

Occasionally stop for coffee and something nice to nibble. Quality of food is good, though they keep banging up the prices. Staff are always helpful, plenty of seating and parking. A nice garden centre too. A great friends meeting place.

We stopped here on the way through. My friends had cake and coffees and I had a soft drink and the Greek ciabatta. The coffee cake was nice. The bakewell slice was a bit soggy. My ciabatta hardly had any ciabatta and was a bit hard, the feta cheese was rubbery, the hummus was nice and so were the olives. It was very average and a little overpriced but that's expected from garden centre cafes.

Lovely presentation, lovely cooked food Professional and helpful staff In all a most enjoyable lunch

Called in for some gardening bits and pieces and visited the cafe for a coffee. The flat white coffee was bitter, lukewarm and overpriced at £3.15

We enjoy a weekly visit to TGC coffee shop

An excellent venue for plants, garden requirements, gifts etc, and cafe. On entering this centre, there is an immediate impression of it being “loved” by its owners and staff. Displays are all attractive and well laid out. Plants are thoughtfully grouped and labelled with suggestions such as “plants for windy and exposed areas”. Cafe is great, with a varied menu, and toilet facilities are smart and clean. Plenty of free parking. Highly recommended!

I come to the coffee shop regularly (once a week on average) and I’ve never had a bad experience. All of the food is lovely (the soup is delicious) and the cakes and scones are superb. The service is friendly and the food is at your table before you know it.

This is a popular place to eat on the outskirts of Thirsk, very close to the A19 York Road and A168 from the A1. They serve a range of home cooked meals, cakes, and coffees/teas. If you go regularly it is worth getting the loyalty card which gives a discount on return visits. No problems parking and there is always plenty of space as it is very large, but warm and comfortable. In good weather there is a nice garden for children to play out and a terrace with tables.

Excellent coffee, good to take dogs to. One large area inside and one outside where you can sit and eat with your dog. Another area inside for people who prefer not to have dogs around. Good arrangement and good food.

This is a regular place for trips with elderly Mother and until recently it's delivered good food with good service but in the last few months it's disappointed, with dry bread served with the soup, small portion sizes and an overall feeling that it's expensive for what you get. £7.50 for a beef sandwich made in sliced bread with a small portion of chips and a very very small 'salad'.

An excellent garden centre with good choices and a lot of gardening equipment. The coffee shop is well worth a visit.

We visited here today,on our way for a walk around Thirsk and the white horse,My husband ordered a breakfast for £6-95 and I ordered an agg,bacon and sausage sandwich,Both with a cup of tea,We've eaten this type of food at other places,but we were really impressed,All the ingredients were fresh and not catering food,The eggs were poached and not fried,The sausages were very tasty,My sandwich had a bread bap that was slightly toasted and my sandwich had plenty of bacon and sausage,With a poached egg on that too,I'm not joking,it was the best sandwich ever,We'd definately return there again

It was a Saturday and very busy. The service was run efficiently and the choice of food reasonably wide. All pulled together by a smiling, cheerful staff.

Very interesting things to look at and buy. Staff friendly and helpful. The coffee shop is good and clean and the food is nice. Shame they no longer do a Sunday dinner as they were amazing

We went with grandma and grandad to see Father Christmas and lunch...lunch was not bad really and reasonably priced. Santa’s grotto was pretty good, having the reindeer there is a great idea. And a big thank you to Father Christmas for being so good with our 18 month old boy who just cried.

Visited today haven't been for a while. Really disappointed. Noisy. Tables dirty. Lots of children shouting and crying. Food was mediocre. Always been good in the past so felt very let down. On the positive side the reindeer were lovely!

Consistency is the key here, whenever we visit the food and prices are always good and the staff are friendly and efficient

Really enjoyed the experience lovely food quick service and a good selection of cakes alot looked home made !!plenty of choice on the menu I previously went at breakfast time and had the bacon and mushroom bap which was a very generous portion.will be visiting again soon. Enjoyed looking at their Christmas decorations etc.

Ordered special of the day, pork ciabatta and chips , possibly got the roll sorry rock from the outside display , inedable nearly broke my teeth , 2 of the thinnest slices of pork , incredible how you can get it so thin you could see through it . Drinks good , young short waitress was not pleasant , maybe find something you enjoy doing.

The café offers a wide selection of drinks and eats, staff are friendly, cakes are delicious, free parking and retail therapy included.

Just called for refreshments at the very nice restaurant which is very pleasant with a good selection of food available.
