Trelawney Garden Center "Restaurant" in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Visited the garden centre to purchase a potted plant. Unfortunately not a great opinion to buy. Unfortunately some of the plants looked almost dead. Also what was available was limited and not value for money. Sadly since the garden centre is now owned by a national company it is not where near has good. Most of the goods are quite expensive. Did not visit the restaurant on this visit has the last time we did the food was not very good or value for money. Breakfast meal over sadly over cooked. Cannot recommend the restaurant.

Went to see xmas decorations but a week too early. Decided to have lunch. Had tuna ciabatta with chips. Yuk, chips rock hard cooked to fast. Ciabatta was bland, not much tuna. We checked out the roast before and it looked sorry for itself. This restaurant used to be lovely but last couple of visits it's been terrible. Do yourselves a favour, don't eat here. Try Par Garden centre, food is amazing.

We came here for a visit and decided to go for a carvery, waited at the area for 10 mins to be served, the gravy was like having wallpaper paste for roast dinner

Arrived and ordered lunch at 12.42 pm. Despite the sign on the road advertising a daily delicious carvery the beef had gone and all that was left was chicken, not a carvery but a rather small dry chicken breast was all that was left..queried this with some one called Helen on the till who informed me that I should arrange to get there earlier in future!! Rude! One roast carvery with poor selection of overcooked veg, one cheese omelette and chips and fish and chips a glass of wine and a coke came to £55. Chips described on the menu as something special turned out to be frozen chips...not special at all.. Sorry will give this place a wide berth infuture.

Very friendly and the food was delicious definitely will eat here again! The food was very fresh and cooked to order, the service was fast and the pumpkin latte was amazing!

I'll be honest, the tired and worn out condition of the furniture, the sticky grubby looking table tops and noise level put us off ordering more than coffee and a teacake. The tea cake arrived with butter but no knife or serviette, the coffee with no spoon, the table was bare, no sugar... I understand that these things are available for 'self service' but a little actual service wouldn't have been missed. It's quite a long drive from home and frankly not worth the effort.

The garden centre is lovely, we have been coming here since we were kids ourselves. The restaurant however, the food is expensive and poor quality. The staff inside are so friendly, lovely and happy to help. We ordered a burger which was hard to bite through around the sides. A kids pizza which was rubber like and have clearly been microwaved and a kids pasta which some of it was hard and stuck together as if it had been reheated. The chips on the kids plate were dark and look inedible however the adults chips looked golden and fresh. I don't mind paying a bit more for food and waiting but the quality was the worst we've ever experienced.

We can't believe how awful the food at this restaurant is. The staff are wonderful, couldn't be nicer. It's a good place to go for lunch, plenty of tables and parking, but the food is so awful we won't be going again, lemon meringue pie, awful, didn't even taste of lemon, I could go on, but what's the point. This used to be an excellent restaurant, but not any more, Head Office should be ashamed of themselves, but obviously there policy is to get rid of all the diners, how stupid they are.

Sorry but after over 30yrs using Trelawney GC,this afternoons cream tea was very much below standard and at just under £18, expensive, disappointed

We had the Carvery not a lot of choice of anything especially the veg, it was OK nothing special. Restaurant prices getting very expensive.

Was disappointed as have had lovely meals before. Fish was too crispy and oily, jacket potato was well past its best and ploughman's was very poor value for the price. Ham,egg and chips was nice as was the coronation chicken filling.

We've been a few times and always had good food. My husband and I both have to be gluten-free and I also have to be dairy-free. It's a right pain but Carriages cater brilliantly for us. All the sandwiches are available GF, as are a lot of the other meals, including the fish and chips, which is very tasty. The receipt you get is all clearly labelled with 'Gluten-free' etc, so it makes you feel secure that your food will be safe. We've tried a variety of meals and also the breakfast, all of which have been nice. My husband had a GF carrot cake, which he enjoyed, and told me there were several dairy and gluten-free cakes on offer too. We are very impressed and will definitely be back again and again.

I ordered fish and chips the batter and the chips were really hard as a opposed to crispy and the peas must of been microwaved as they were like bullets or a really cheap brand. I chose this as I thought it would be freshly cooked as the carvery was looking past its best. The coffee was good and the restaurant clean. Disappointing for the price

My lunch was the chickpea and spinach jacket potato, followed by the coffee and walnut homemade cake. Both were excellent. The staff went above and beyond for us. Thank you all so much. Would it be possible please to have the recipe for the jacket potato? My e mail address is marycook2000@yahoo.co.uk. I fully understand if this is not possible.

Called in for lunch today. Cafe was busy but easily found table. Staff friendly. Cakes looked good. Roast beef looked dry. Joined the queue for hot drinks, and asked to order food. Tea served then told to order food at till when I paid. Paid for food and lady then tells me it’s around a 25 minute wait for food to come out. That was fine but I would have got the tea after if I’d known that but she said I could have a pot of hot water later - not quite the same. Yes it was a 25 min wait for food which was hot and tasty. Tables which sat down after us had their food brought before ours - same items. Noticed other tables having hot drinks served to them also. Not sure how that happened. Although the menus and ordering instructions are at the entrance it is a little confusing. Cafe says no dogs allowed altho when I asked I was told there was an outdoor area I area could sit in with my dog. To order I’d have to get the attention of a staff member who would either take my order or look after my dog while I ordered. Shame you can’t sit in the conservatory area with your dog.

Very poor so called carvery.😠 The beef on my plate was carved so thinly it was almost transparent. The roast potatoes and parsnips were both soggy and not crisp at all and I think it was the gravy but something on the plate as extremely salty. We won’t be back for the roast at all. Shame really as the coffee and scones when we have them are lovely.☹️

2 chicken cesar salads . 3 pieces of chicken in each . Complete rip off £12 plus . Most places are £9 and a whole chicken breast each . Since this new company has taken overfood is very expensive and you don’t get the portions . They will lose customers.

The staff were friendly, the food was delivered very quickly and was piping hot. The soup was delicious. However, the table was dirty. We also ordered a pot of tea and a Diet Coke. The coke was brought out and was an ordinary coke so was the wrong order, my friend’s a diabetic. The tea was bought out, no teaspoon and the teacup and saucer were dirty. We returned both. The second teacup and saucer were brought out, the teacup had a chip in it right where you drink from. However by that stage I’d rather given up and didn’t get it changed. The soup and roll came out on a rectangular wooden tray. The roll was ‘resting’ on a small napkin. It was difficult to halve it and spread the butter all in the tiny space provided and there was nowhere to put your knife after spreading. It felt very unhygienic. A side plate would’ve been so much better. The saving grace, was that the soup and bread tasted great.

Lovely restaurant attached to the shop and garden centre, plenty of indoor, conservatory and outdoor seating available. Delicious menu as well as cake/ desserts available, some slightly on the pricier side but good quality, fresh, well presented and generous portions. Friendly staff, menus by entrance and you order at the tills, food is then brought over to your table.

Visited for Sunday lunch. Arrived at 1pm, an hour after food service started and decided to have a carvery, this is where it all went downhill. There was no beef available, so we chose pork. Paid our money and queued up to get the food only to find that the only meat option left was the chicken, everything else was sold out! (Did the staff at the tills not know this?) This was a cheaper (but still expensive) option than what we had paid but we were told that the only alternative was to queue up at the till again and get a refund and reorder, so we decided to go with the chicken to save the hassle. However, the vegetable selection left a lot to be desired too. The little choice that was left was all dried out, overcooked and lukewarm. The chicken was also dry as it turned out. We were told that because the food was all cooked the night before (!) when it's gone it's gone, (this is probably also why it was all dry). Surely, if the carvery is advertised to be available until 3pm, then cook enough to last that length of time?! The restaurant wasn't busy, so that's no excuse for running out so soon. We have visited many times before for coffee but after this absolute shambles, we won't be back. The food is definitely expensive and I would rather pay less and go somewhere else in the future which guarantees serving up better quality food.

The sign on entering said, find your table and then order food and drinks at tills and it will be delivered to you. Found a table, but no menu on table, so we had to individually go back to the servery to see what was on offer. Hubby ordered a coffee and lemon drizzle cake, 3 other tables who came in after us were served before us, was just about to complain when our order arrived. The lemon drizzle cake was so dense and had no taste of lemon and was an extortionate £4.60.

My mum and I visit regularly for lunch and are never disappointed. We returned today and was impressed how organised it was. Due to the time of year, we had to wait a few minutes to be seated. On the last few visits, I looked at the festive club sandwich but resisted. Today, I gave in, OMG. What can I say it was probably the best meal I've had here. I think the lady who came over with our food is called Sharon. She is always so friendly and smiling. The tables were cleared promptly, so queuing was at a minimum.

Took a minibus full of people (15), for shopping and lunch. Can’t understand the previous reviews as we all had a very enjoyable meal. The restaurant was very busy, which must tell you something, we were quickly shown to a table by a very friendly member of staff. Had to wait a short while for our food but as it was so busy it was understandable and as we were out for a trip we weren’t in a hurry. Yes it was a little pricey but so are all similar establishments. Everyone said that they had enjoyed their meal. Overall a great day out.

So, been here a few times...never really inspiring but this time it was pretty shocking. Just ridiculous pricing for food cooked and prepared by someone who is probably normally erecting sheds! 2 x weak, insipid coffees and 2 x fingers of Bakewell Tart would set you back £16!! ...and then you have to sit in what I can only describe as resembling a rather tired looking nursing home. Now, I don't feel the need to criticise often but I have read the preceding reviews and seems our experience was not the worst or uncommon - and the only reply was to say that it reflected prices charged elsewhere locally.... Yes, maybe but that would be in a pleasant environment and food produced by someone with pride and that cared....big difference. Just pop up the road to St Kew Farm Shop and see how breakfast should look or even Trevisker garden centre or Strong Adolpho's at Hawksfield. There is no hint of the restaurant management caring or even understanding - just seem out of touch...shame really. To cap it all there is a sign by the cakes telling people they should consume 2,000 calories per day!...what's that all about? Seems this Garden Centre Restaurant is rapidly developing a rather notorious reputation probably sustained by the busing in of tourists as a captive audience who will never have to revisit.

The staff were very friendly and very helpful but! We spent £30 on breakfast!! The breakfast £11.95 X2 plus the price of the coffee( weak but ok) The prices on the menu are crazy. Toast and 2 eggs 6.95. I would not mind paying if it was any good!! 11.95 for a breakfast I was expecting alot. If I wasn't with my dad I would have sent it all back and left! Breakfast left out under heat lamp until ready. Bad bad way to do thing's. Sausage ok not cooked properly only browned on one side rubbery. Bacon so over cooked like jerky. Mushroom boiled, horrible. Hash browns frozen, didn't eat! Tomato was ok. Egg not fried, sat in warm oil. Still had raw white. This was a very very poor breakfast. The worse I've probably ever had. As I said I'd I wasnt with my dad I would have returned everything! But for 11.95 that is disgusting!! Would never eat there again Would never recommend!! Come on guys sort it out! How hard is a fry up! Should be 6.95 maximum But cooked properly!!

Very disappointed with food and service, offered a complimentary meal replacement but after reading other customer reviews not sure we will take up the offer.

Visited Trelawney Garden Centre for the first time today. In the unlikely event that i return to the garde centre i will NOT be using the restaurant again. The system they use for ordering food is unworkable.

So visit lots of garden centres and their restaurants and I have to say this wasn't nice at all. We have visited afew times years ago and its just gone down. The staff we spoke with were nice but I'm sure they are aware it's going downhill. The fish and chips were awful, the fish was covered in the thickest batter that was pale insipid and when cut into raw and dough like, I asked for it to be replaced and cooked for the staff were full of apologies but i wasnt offered anything by way of compensation. My husband had a chicken caesar salad, so expensive for not a lot of chicken topped on lettuce leaves, disappointing. My fish was replaced and the replacement was exactly the same as the first, now not 1 member of staff came anywhere near the table after I received the fresh meal to check it was OK, I literally pealed away the revolting batter ate some of the fish and left all the raw batter piled high for them to see when they cleared the table, we had paid restaurant prices for this meal and left vowing never to return. I heard others saying the same thing about the fish on another table so I know it wasn't just mine.

Absolutely fabulous, from the moment you arrive you are in a magical Christmas wonderland, plenty of different items that you don’t see in other shops and still plenty of the garden department with lots of plants and accessories. We had lunch while we were there which was excellent, it was delivered very quick and was very tasty, staff were lovely. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit.💕

We visited on Remembrance Sunday, and although they called over the tannoy that they were about to begin the 2 minutes silence and requested the customers to take part and show their respects, they failed to turn the radio off, so whilst all customers/staff came to a stand still, music was playing through the garden centre which I thought was incredibly disrespectful and a lot of customers stated afterwards they weren’t sure if the 2 minutes had started or not due to the music playing. The garden centre itself had put in a lot of thought and planning on their beautiful Christmas displays and how they arranged them out in colour etc. We then visited the restaurant, we had three carvery’s, the meat (chicken & beef) was beautifully cooked and full of flavour, the vegetables were a disappointment. The red cabbage & broccoli were all but raw, and the only other option of veg was carrots which were full of flavour. Disappointed in the lack of variety of vegetables. Afterwards we decided to have a cake, my partner had a cream tea and the Rodda cream that came with it was curdled. I asked for another one which I was given and that was exactly the same. The staff seem rushed off their feet and stressed, although as pleasant and helpful as they could be from being by the looks of it very short staffed. Tables were still sat with dirty plates for the duration of the hour and a half we sat in the restaurant.

Go here a lot, went today had an expensive very small piece of cake, tasted awful, really dry and when we complained a very frosty, I think manager, was offhand and really rude. She definitely needs to learn some people skills. Won’t be eating at this overpriced restaurant any more

Visited with elderly parents for a birthday. Haven't been for a few years, as we have moved away, but its gone downhill terribly. Ordered 3 x beef pie and beef bourgignon. The pie was slapped on the plate, didn't resemble a pie, just some pastry with a few bits of meat and gravy, with pretty much raw red cabbage, and lumps of mashed potato, like they had been scraped out of the pan! The bourginon was completely ruined by a ton of salt, felt quick sick for hours afterwards. £68 for 4 meals and 4 hot drinks, definitely won't be going back, we regularly went once or twice a year when we lived closer. Plus points the plates were hot.. Shame.

Have been eating here for years and it has slowly gone down hill. The tubby cook from 10 or 15 years ago was the best. Yesterdays roast lacked everything. Cost £14.95 You need a stop watch if you do not all have the same meal because of the serving arrangements. Blue Stone, its not a diamond, need to take a few lessons, even Trago put on a better meal Try the Victoria Inn at Three milestones

I have been going to this garden centre for over 20years, when it was a large conservatory and small garden centre. the food then and up to about 6 before Blue Diamond was fantastic We moved to Truro and decided to go back for a meal and look around. The garden centre is very good. But my word Carriages was terrible, the food was of a poor quality, the service procedure not good, and the prices extortionate. for example £14.95 for a Roast a small salad £ 3 plus a quiche £7.95 {a tiny round pastry case with filling) the salad was what you would have as a side dressing. Wow what a come down and disappointment.

We met our family (with dog) there for tea/coffee and cakes on a rainy Sunday. Although dogs are not allowed in the main restaurant they do have a very comfortable covered 'outside' area where dogs are welcome, so perfect for us. We chose our cakes and ordered our drinks at the till as requested.....then waited and waited and waited - we'd all finished our cakes and there was no sign of our drinks - we'd managed to attract the attention of a member of staff who said they were on the way. The drinks eventually arrived with no apology until we pointed out we'd already finished our cakes (including my fruit scone that only contained 1 sultana!!) and were told they were very busy and we could complain back at the till (which we didn't do as didn't want to queue up again) I was very disappointed with the service and did not feel we got value for money at all. Saying they were busy is not an excuse - how long does it take to make a pot of tea for 2 and 2 coffees - half an hour obviously!

Have been to the restaurant many times in the past years and had the vegetable plate, which has always been excellent. However, I have just been for a birthday lunch and I don't know what has happened to the place. The veggies were basic and tasteless, and the roast potatoes were hard and rubbery. The Yorkshires were OK. All were not hot. Overall the quality was appalling. Based on today, I shall not eat there again. Very disappointing . The staff were nice. The garden centre is still lovely, but will avoid the food from now on.

What Can I say about the restaurant Carriages at Trelawney Garden Centre. The food matches the customer service... simply superb. This is not just a Garden Centre it is heaven. Recommended in a heartbeat.

Have been here previously but believe it has now been bought by someone else. Came for food while out for a drive together. First thing I noticed is how grumpy and miserable the younger members of staff are. No service with a smile from them. Disappointing really. I went for the beef roast. And disappointed not much of a selection and veg very dry. Wife had a sandwich and was happy enough with that. Place needs a brighten up very dark and old looking. Praise I do have the two middle aged/older that worked on the hot drink side were bubbly and happy. The youngster can learn a lot from them.

As local Blue Diamond customers we decided to collect some gardening bits and enjoy lunch at the same time. The Carvery lunch for £15 was very disappointing. The meat portion was small, three thin less than half slices, the vegetables although plenty were over cooked and bland. Certainly not the standard we have had previously.

Called in for a cream tea. Very large scone, which looked hard but was very soft. So enjoyable with plenty of jam and cream. Lovely outlook seeing the water and maybe the kingfisher.

I had to write a review as I’ve just seen a bad review. We love this place, and live in Mevagissey, so it’s a bit of a treck but we pop over regularly. We were ages from 33 up to 88. (5 of us) We...

Avoid unless you're a local. Locals get preferential treatment in here. Avoid if you're on holiday. Not a nice experience and expensive too. Shame, as I remembered this place to be a lovely restaurant, catering for all and made a special effort to come here.

Expensive food for what you get. We had soup with freshly cooked bread, fish chips and mushy peas and ham egg chips saladand pickle. Eggs were hard, chips not great and freshly cooked bread wasn't cooked.

The carvery was nice but they no longer do a small plate option. Lots of elderly people used to have it. We didn't want a huge roast. Not good value if you want a small portion. Smaller selection of cakes and very expensive. Used to...

The Sunday carvery was absolutely awful. Over priced food. When you charge as much as you do for food you need the quality to be good. Unfortunately it’s not good enough. Very disappointing for a roast dinner. . Would not recommend.

We'd been past this place a few times and decided we'd try it, instead of our usual garden centre. I wish we hadn't bothered! We started off with lunch and decided on the pie of the day. No wonder they offer you gravy with it,...

As with other Blue Diamond garden centres this is an excellent restaurant. We called in for Sunday lunch and had their carvery. We chose pork but beef was also available. Carved to order with 2 generous slices, we then helped ourselves to roast and boiled...

We had a great breakfast. The ingredients were very good especially the black pudding and sausages. The staff were busy and efficient supporting each other and taking orders and delivering food . Clean and nice atmosphere

Two eggs on toast,one scone,two cups of tea,£14.95, In my mind that is getting expensive, Living on a pension you have to watch the pennies.

We visited on Sunday 12th of February, and went for lunch in the restaurant.The four of us went for the carvery and it was lovely, it was tasty ,hot and we all thoroughly enjoyed eating it .We shall be back!

Everytime we have a meal here we have always enjoyed it. But today 4th January 2023 the roast dinner was not up to standard. The sprouts (which I normally love) were hard and tasteless. We had 1 pigs-in-blankets and just a small piece of stuffing...

After a lovely trip to see Santa and the fantastic garden centre, the café unfortunately spoilt our trip. At 2.05 (supposed to serve until 2.30) we were told they were no longer serving due to a staff shortage (this then changed when the manager came...

A lovely carvery served by one of the best servers ever and the rest of the staff were amazing too. Great value for money eaten in lovely clean surroundings

We visited today and the restaurant was very busy and the staff were doing their jobs really well, always with a smile and very polite. My husband enjoyed the beef baguette and my daughter really liked her tuna and cheese melt but my egg mayo...

Dreadful experience. Cold wet and raining outside. Drove 30 miles to visit this award winning garden centre and restaurant as declared on the sign and website. Dogs are welcome in the covered seats outside...surely not.? Took my elderly 82 year old mum out for the...

Just had afternoon tea here as a treat for my mum and mother in law. It was delightful. There was a good selection of sandwiches and cakes. The scones were very good. The staff were really friendly and very attentive. Would most definitely recommend

The Garden Centre is a great place to spend a few hours, with a wide range of different products to see and buy, including clothes, art, ornaments etc. Arrived at the restaurant a little late for lunch so had cream tea and cakes. Staff very...

Not enough staff. Complaint to company rejected typical big company contempt for the customer. Service in restaurant not enough staff signs on exit unclear not enough staff to discuss plants. Seems management have lost the plot.

Went to Trelawney yesterday, it had a very good reputation for the good roast meals at this restaurant for many years when it was privately owned. What I noticed first was how empty the restaurant looked with very few customers!! I ordered their Beef roast;...

Enjoyed a lovely walk round this still thankfully covid aware garden centre. Lots to see and bargains to be found. Enjoyed a lovely lunch served with a smile

The serving is medium I really like the Wi-Fi here the food is so good the wait is between 10 minutes to 20 minutes

Disappointed with this visit. Late morning call for coffee and a toasted teacake. There were no teacakes.. Staff not very welcoming nor busy, but hanging around chatting to each other. Coffe adequate - not great.

Very average scone , very slow service and a very rude so called greeter made this a disappointing visit. I don’t appreciate being spoken to as if I’m a naughty child but worse was witnessing 2 ladies on a nearby table , one of whom...

Popped into the restaurant for a Coffee and Scone, on arriving at the restaurant door we were greeted, and briefed on the Covid 19 procedures, and then shown to our table. Top marks to the staff on working well together. Coffee and Scone was excellent

Reading other reviews it's hard to think they're talking about the same place. We called in for breakfast having vacated our holiday caravan at the end of our holiday and we both agreed that it was a good end to a lovely holiday. We were...

Visited this morning for a coffee and cake. Excellent, very efficient, very friendly service. We were so pleased that space was available outside and under cover. A very enjoyable visit and we will certainly return soon.

Ordered roast chicken lunch. Meals arrived very quickly and were lukewarm (I wonder if they were already plated up). Disappointingly it was a chicken breast rather than proper roast chicken. Vegetables were ok but not hot. At £10.95 expensive for what it was. Also, we were given one salt sachet each and had to ask for more. Garden centre was quite expensive and not very exciting. We are on holiday but wouldn't visit again if we lived locally.

We waited outside the entrance in a queue for over 20 minutes even though there were a lot of empty tables inside. Eventually we were shown to a table and given a menu, it was a lunch menu, we did not want lunch but cake and coffee but nothing was said to us. We waited and waited for someone to take our order but we felt as though we were invisible. No one had the courtesy to say that someone would be with us soon. One person was taking payments from people and a young girl cleared a table near us. If someone had apologised and perhaps given an explanation about the situation we might have stayed, but after 25 minutes and not one person approaching our table and being totally ignored, we left.It would appear that not only are more staff needed to cope with the amount of tables but also lessons on how to provide good customer service and engage with customers. It is a shame because we like to look around the shop and plant section followed by refreshments but we won’t be going anymore.

Took 4 attempts for the correct breakfast and then when it came beans were cold sausages were only just warm. The mushrooms were burnt and the potatoes were hard. It only gets a 1 star on the fact of how nice the staff were.

good service, thank you Mandy, & a great breakfast, the flat white coffee is probably best for miles !

Waited 40 minutes for two coffees and an uninspiring bakewell tart. Their loss, as we had no time to go around what seemed to be an excellent garden centre.

On holiday in the area and visited this garden centre. Found the staff in the restaurant very friendly and helpful. Coffee and cakes were tasty and well presented. Would happily go again.

First time out to eat since March found the experience excellent felt completely safe food excellent staff really friendly and made you at ease will definitely be visiting again

Took my mum for lunch today she is in a wheelchair, there is plenty of room and we were made to feel welcome. We felt completely safe and all guidelines were being adhered to. Mum had fish and chips and I had baked goats cheese and salad the food was delicious. There is a great choice on the menu and they do an amazing roast dinner. The staff are wonderful and can’t do enough for you, they are friendly and professional. I recommend you visit even if it’s just for a coffee and homemade cakes which are delicious.

Had a roast dinner as missed breakfast. Other family members had steak pie and salmon. In total over £40. Tasty but too expensive for a garden centre

We went with friends and I wanted coffee and cake. The cake selection was very poor. The cost of the cakes in my opinion was very high. Would go back more if they had more choice of cakes. The tea was very quite small and too strong for us.

As you drive from Wadebridge to Bodmin on the A 389, after about half a mile on your left, you will pass the Trelawney Garden Centre and Carriages restaurant located within it. But to pass it would be a mistake, for this is a really good restaurant, with proper food, great staff, and in the middle of a great garden centre. This is not the usual coffee and snack outlet that you tend to find added as an afterthought to a garden centre, but a good , unpretentious restaurant- carvery, liver and bacon, steak and kidney pie, dessert with custard are the sort of menu on offer. And all run by a chef who unlike some to be found these days, is a real chef producing real, good quality unpretentious food, rather than an exercise in chemistry . It's great value too. The staff are charming and helpful. The dining area is large, with tables of all sizes, and not too close together. And outside you have a very well stocked garden centre and large shopping area . Thoroughly recommended.

Staying at the Premier Inn just up the road. Checked this place out on Trip Advisor and thought it looked promising .... it was fabulous! Freshly cooked, value for money breakfast which catered for all the family - traditional English to Eggs Benedict piping hot and very tasty. Great location to wander round afterwards. We will definitely return

This is a great garden centre selling not only lots of beautiful plants also things for the home and garden such as garden furniture ,pots ,barbecue sets and inside the main building lots of lovely things for the home kitchenware, room fragrances ,candles, books , cards , gift packs , a beautiful selection of ladies clothes and shoes. Pet goods, jacuzzi is lovely summer houses etc. The restaurant , Carriages is very good. There is a hot food service area where you can choose from the chefs meals of the day all very good or light lunches or a separate island where you can choose from a lovely display of cakes if you just fancy something light with a tea or coffee. The restaurant is large and surrounded by lots of windows and you can walk through into the conservatory area where you can sit and have views of the little lake there. I highly recommend this place the food is excellent as so are the prices and the service and this is somewhere I regularly frequent with friends and family.

Had an excellent turkey lunch, first this year, all nicely cooked, parsnips were really good. Cost £10.50 for the buffet each and £3.25 for a jug of coffee for 2.Also smashing Xmas decorations when you come in.Had a mini car valet for £35 which was overpriced for cleaning a car, should have done it myself !! They did not do the windows.
