Tong Garden Centre in Bradford

Lovely here x very festive, abit expensive, however very good range of items ,gifts and food .Will return.

Lovely place but mazzini food little expensive for food and drinks

Not been here for years but it has literally everything

Great variety of plants and very helpful staff good mix of other things would recommend.

Very expensive. Too much going on. Always full of people who are not buying anything so if you are then it's a fight to get passed everyone.

Love this place. So much to see there. Can easily spend hours without getting bored.

Xmas stuff out already but still a great place and blooms cafe excellent service 👌

Great place to meet friends or take kids to play the area. Nice cafe and plenty to look round. There's an Edinburgh wool and Bonmache shop also a shoe, bedding and food area. All the Christmas displays are up.

Been to many garden centers. But this place has it all and more so much to see well laid out food great. The design posters point you in the right direction. 5 ⭐

Lots of good stuff,food in cafe looks good,has been revamped a little so new things to see,luckily Bon Marche still trading there.

Awesome place with an outstanding choice. The Mezzanine food restaurant is perfect to take a delicious break from shopping. You'll need a few hours to look round everything that's on offer here. It's looking very Christmassy right now. Great play area too for the little ones.

Nice place to go but loses a star for becoming over priced (£4 for a flat white that was too hot, burnt beans) and putting a charge through for a carrier bag before I got to the till, and I didn't even get a carrier bag .. They need to be careful not to ruin a well earned reputation. And £11 for a panini is just daft

For the price, the lunchtime meals were quite small!

Haven't been for long time place getting ready for Xmas loads of different stuff bedding, shoes,etc2

Lovely place for a quick bite to eat and a look around plenty of stuff all under a cosy environment 😋

Excellent garden centre puts our local one to shame , a nice day out from across the moors

This is for the Mezzanine Café -- actual garden centre itself is fantastic and staff always so friendly and polite so no issues there. Anyway. I went here for a light lunch this afternoon. Arrived at 12:30, and coffee didn't turn up until 13:00. My food didn't arrive until gone 14:00 and was both raw and overcooked. The staff all looked dour, miserable, and like they would rather have been plucking their toenails out with rusty pliers instead of serving customers. After waiting an hour and a half we then had a clueless waitress insist on clearing the plates away before giving us the bill which took another 15 minutes to arrive. Upon going to the counter to pay, the couple in front of us were telling them their bill was incorrect and three members of staff were trying to cancel and re-add items without much success. In no world should it take over two hours to order, eat, and pay for a sandwich and a simple machine-made coffee. If it ever does, a simple apology goes a long way. 'Sorry, the kitchen is short today,' or, 'there's a bit of a wait so please bear with us!' would have helped, too. Not having a waitress slam a coffee down on my table, and another rolling their eyes when I asked how long food might take. The cakes DO look nice, but quite frankly I'd rather buy them from the food hall and eat them at home then give these folks business.

Pretty decent food. Bought two olive trees yesterday from here. Staff are lovely.

The shopping aspect is great, amazing selection of plants and garden stuff in general. Just don't try to eat here, especially on a weekend. So rammed that the service can't keep up, disorganised and you have to queue 20 mins for a glass of water, the cafe was stressful and spoiled an otherwise great experience.

Visited the cafe, excellent food and service. Relaxing atmosphere no pressures to leave. Would recommend to friends and family.

Wonderful place to go for an afternoon. Bit pricy but has great products and a good place to wander around. Stay and have a quality lunch and a drink to complete your visit.

If You need somethink to garden and much more You can find there. Farm shop as great addition to great place and nice caffe. Pricess bit high but exelent choice of everything You need as gardener .

Had been here to buy pot and repotting mix Very good place very big and has nice parking Very friendly staff and looks very bright Would definitely recommend to buy here

The garden centre is a wonderful experience for shopping. The cafe however sells the most disgusting coffee. It's far too strong & the taste isn't great either. Meetings with my friends & family will take place elsewhere. What a shame its a lovely place to visit.

Best kids play area in miles and the garden centre isn't bad either.

Everything you'd want from a large garden centre

The store was lovely and staff were very kind. It was super busy though. Took my little one to the Grasshoppers soft play inside and wasn't expecting how busy it would be and not the greatest area for tiny babies. The small area is for 0-3 years so if your baby is pretty young it's not that safe in this are with toddlers running around. Good selection of kids meals for the little ones though. The play area for older kids was huge.

A great place for a day out Loads to see fantastic selection of things for your home and garden friendly helpful staff We had some lunch too good selection of things to eat

Called in today to have a nosy round,getting ready for Halloween and Christmas. Waiting for stock arriving busy little place this. I'll call back in a couple of weeks give them chance to get ready for me.

Had a lovely afternoon buying garden ornaments and even stopped for a coffee in the very roomy cafe

Great place to take your kids along.

Lots to see and buy from plants, furniture, home decor, food and even a cafe. You can spend a couple of hours here if you can find a parking space.

Lovely place to take the kids. Lots of fun things to see and do. 2 good restaurants but go early as they close at 5pm.

Celebrating a birthday had an Afternoon tea. It was lovely

As garden centres go this is pretty top notch. The grasshoppers play centre would earn it 5 stars on it's own, it's got both indoor and outdoor areas that easily keep kids of all ages entertained. In addition to that it has a really great food hall, an amazing food shop and delicatessen, huge toy section as well as books, tools and furniture. And if plants are what you're after, I'd be surprised if is there's much they don't have, from flowers, bushes, trees, herbs and vegetables.

Huge place , plants all well cared for. Need a few hours to see it all. Reasonable prices however I was a bit put out to see the éclairs at 2 for £4 in the food hall when I'd just paid £4.75 for 1 in cafe 😳

So much to see. Large indoor and outdoor shop. Slightly on expensive side but nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Great day out, very busy but it was a Bank Holiday weekend during the summer holidays. Kids loved it. Defo go again.

Went to tong today on checkouts a lovely present young lad on checkout a credit to your business 👏

Good outdoor area. Plenty of varied plant choices, many you don't always see everywhere. It feels a little seasonal of the moment ie no lilies hostas zinnias tithonias gladioli. Needs more general plants available year round. Great indoor ranges with good if busy restaurant. Lovely fresh food being served. Staff very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

Lovely has an arrangement of mostly everything you need for your garden plus an arrangement of gifts, shoes and clothes

Super, amazing. This place has everything. Will deffinately go again.

Tong Garden Centre is so much more than the 'normal' garden centre, so many indoor and outdoor plants to purchase, and The Mezzanine Cafe food and placement is amazing. There are a couple more cafes, a fabulous children's play area (think you have to book not just turn up, but not having young children I'm not sure), an aquatic section, couple of retail outlets; garments, shoes, butcher, confectionery, off sales, garden furniture. Large car park, with disabled parking ground floor entrance. Lift to mezzanine level and toilets.

first visit for a long time ,their is plenty to see here with a lot of shops within the centre ,the one down side was in the cafe ,i ordered a regular latte and it was served is a small cup half of which was froth ,and we were charged £3.55 for this which even by Starbucks pricing was very poor £3.25 for a small bowl of chips is also expensive ,not a place we will revisit any time soon

Excellent garden centre where you can find everything you could ever possibly need for your garden under a single roof, from indoor and artificial plants to BBQ’s and outdoor seating. Also has an excellent aquatics centre, play area for kids and a cafe.

Lovely vegetarian afternoon tea. So much variety, highlight was mini quiche and hot onion bhaji, egg mayo wrap and mini banofee pie. Fantastic value for money. Went again, bit of change in afternoon tea, hot soup and very tasty apple crumble flan. Lovely.

A little bit pricey but very nice graden centre with poads of choices and better quality furnitures.

A typical Garden Centre overpriced the food quality is good and the service is also but silly prices on some products

No family parking that we could find but it has a safe play area for children that's second to none.

Not one for gardening but kids playground and gym are great fun for all. Well worth the drive if not local

Couldn't move for expensive garden furniture and barbecues

Great garden center with a very nice cafe and restaurant

Hired for a large wedding party breakfast... Excellent food, service, and location.

Pretty well-stocked garden centre, with a wide selection of gifts as much as plants for sale. Large car park, cafe and toilets in store. Our apple pie pastry was flabby and anaemic-looking and tasted under baked, so we wasted our £4.50 there, but otherwise the cafe was good and offered a vegan selection too. A nice place to visit with children at Christmas, as the displays and decorations are nice. I've heard good things about the paid-for play centre, too.

This is one garden centre in a large local chain. It is very large with wide isles and is very clean. There are lots of plants for indoor and outdoor. But a large area to the shop/store is cafes, garden furniture, gift areas, bedding, shoes, food, aquarium and children's play areas. Parking is plentiful. Toilets are always clean and regularly checked. Sometimes we go to look and usually come out buying something.

Lovely Garden Centre, good quality plants and knowledgeable staff. Choice of Bistro or restaurant for eating not too busy so service was quick. All in all it was a very pleasant visit and we will return.

We had a very tasty breakfast. Very good staff. Polite and helpful

Went for Afternoon Tea, it was a quiet Sunny afternoon. Food was lovely and well presented staff nice and friendly.

The restaurant looks like an airport. I could not make myself go in. I went somewhere else that looked more a garden centre

It's a garden center woth so much more... Massive! Three cafes, food hall, outdoor furniture and bbq, clothing, toys and gifts, excellent indoor and outdoor play for kids. Would have got five stars but its really expensive.

Nice place to visit, play area good for kids. Food was nice prompt service. Well worth a visit

We visited Tony Garden Centre Cafe for a cream tea. I like the seating area on the right as it is more personalised but it was cordoned off again. We had to go on the left which I call the cattle market! There was a booth at the far end so that was where we sat. The staff clearly don't want customers to sit in the better area until the other one is full, what a shame!!! It was appalling, the seating areas were all marked as though children had climbed on them and daubed chocolate fingers all over the backs! The seat coverings were all cracked and disintegrated, we'll overdue for a refurb! I would have thought Tony G C could afford to do this and it should be a priority. The cream tea was delicious, just a shame about the seating area!

We had the afternoon tea was very nice relaxed atmosphere staff friendly

I really enjoyed the garden centre had a lovely meal in cafe down stairs

A top notch garden centre. Lots of parking and not too pricey

Got a nice selection of products

You can buy anything! I highly recommend. On the weekend, a farmer with fresh vegetables and fruit in front of the store.

Fabulous place for family days out great atmosphere and loads to do of interest 😀

my first time to visit a garden centre... will definitely go back

Having phoned and booked for cafe we were left disappointed due to even advising we were held up on the A1 and would be arriving at 4pm instead and to be greeted with a rude notification from a rude member of staff tell us the cafe closed at 4:15pm and couldn't accommodate us when informed that we had sent word to say we were running late the answer was I didn't take the call so it wasn't our fault but who ever took the call was at fault the rude girl basically couldn't give a monkeys , very disappointed staff need to work on communicating with each other

What an enchanting place to browse around! A vast array of places to take your fancy. A thoroughly enjoyable experience

Amazing garden centre which is very well presented and well stocked. The Christmas display is legendary with the model village. Grasshoppers soft play is excellent for children, with load of different things to do inside and out. The restaurant in grass hoppers has a variety of good for adults and children. Food is of good quality. Other dining facilities in the garden centre are top notch

Bought 6 hanging baskets for the second year running. Took last years baskets back in April ready for them to be re done for this year. They are as gorgeous as ever with great advice given and followed. Here are a few of them. A little on the expensive side but well worth it.

loads to see and eat lovely place.

Always get our tropical fish frim here for our fish tank and the best staff member Charlie is always pleasant and helpful

Probably the nicest place in Bradford

Amazing afternoon tea, everything was so nice and fresh and you could swap and change the drinks so that you didn’t just have to have the same one. The only thing that I didn’t really like was the tuna mayo spiral as it was really messy to eat and all fell out. Would be a good idea to use another type of bread or give a separate plate for the sweet things so the tuna doesn’t touch them. Update 21/6/24 we returned for another lot of afternoon tea and this was even better than the first. The chicken and tarragon sandwich was amazing and the vegetable soup was better than the tomato! The service was great and we can’t wait to come back.

We visited the mezzanine cafe on Saturday and although the food was great the service was absolutely terrible. If you are going to charge those prices then the service should be a lot better than that. Had to ask to be served, then drinks never came so had to ask for those and then we had to go over and ask for the bill.

Great variety of plants and garden furniture, great kid's play room & café (bit pricey only drawback)

Tong garden centre is a great place to find what you are looking for in the garden. They also have a great Cafe and if you have small children the best play area ever.

Beautiful plants, Enjoyable retail therapy with yummy food in restaurant

Mostly none gardening stuff, but interesting

Always a good place to visit for your garden needs and more.

This garden centre is like a small shopping mall, garden plants furniture etc Clothing gifts shoes fish children play area . Plenty of parking.

Beautiful place amazing polite friendly staff

Met with a very good friend for lunch. Quality food

Very good soft play, food and child friendly atmosphere

A weird place that doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. Lots of units are rented out to companies so it's more of an aquatics/garden centre/footwear/food/cake place My wife loves this place and to be fair it always seems busy and popular. More of a shopping centre that might not have everything you need than a garden centre

Great garden center with a wide variety of plants and flowers, friendly staff and excellent facilities.

Love Tong Garden Centre But Very Expensive

I'd like to give this garden centre 5 stars as it is so well stocked with healthy and varied plants and everything related to gardens but, because of the cafe experience, it rates only 4. When we visited on Saturday afternoon, we went straight to the cafe and discovered that it had been re-vamped and it looked very inviting. We were told that it was coffee and cakes only at that time, which was fine. We waited 10 minutes to be served and a further 15 for the coffee to appear, which, when it was brought, was unceremoniously placed at the edge of the table. Apart from our table, there were only 4 others occupied. I do feel that customer service wasn't at its best on our visit. A real shame, as we had driven for well over an hour to get there.

This garden centre is absolutely beautiful, not only does it have plants, flowers and beautiful garden furniture, it also has tropical fish and pond fish and supplies. The cafe is lovely and they also have a soft play and play area for the kids at an additional charge.

Fantastic place, lovely things could spend £1000's Mezzanine cafe was absolutely lovely.

It the place where you go for one thing and you come out with 10. Beautiful place. Relaxing for adults and kids.

Food is beautiful...all staff my daughter and I interacted with were very helpful in the plant and mezzanine Food restaurant.. will definitely recommend them to all my friends and family

Love this garden centre it's the best!

Lots of gardening choice plus food and kids play area

We got there just after 3 last Sunday hoping to get a coffee but we're told the cafe was closed which was disappointing. Apart from that we really love the place

Food is nice, staff polite. Can’t go wrong for a day out

Great garden centre and a smashing fruit and veg stall outside
