Trowell Garden Centre Cafe in Broxtowe

Always great to go to trowel garden center great food Manager and staff always great

Go check out the Halloween and xmas stuff..it fabulous

Visited the garden centre to buy some fish for our youngest after setting his tank up last week. Nat was brill with us explained everything we needed to know. Couldnt do enough for us really happy and will be back in the next few weeks to add to our tank.

Just coffee, reasonable price, friendly service

Nice latte whilst out garden centre shopping

Took my gran (in a wheelchair) to do some shopping and have lunch today. Staff were extremely pleasant and went out of their way to help us, so nice to see ♡ 31/1/2025 Edited to add: finally an indoor dog friendly area in the cafe! We can now visit for lunch all year round! Excellent 😊

Currently in a refit removing Christmas from shelves. Getting ready for spring. Cafe still very good.

Visited the cafe. Lovely selection of hot and cold food. Food was presented well and hot!!! The cafe itself was clean with a good selection of condiments. Staff where clean and tidy also very pleasant,helpful and friendly. Would visit again to look around the garden centre and large gift shop in garden centre

Big area to see things to buy. Display of goods haphazard Area for refreshments large, very noisy.

There is plenty of choice, not seen some of the merchandise, try the food, you won't be disappointed.

Met here for a business meeting and was pleased to be surprised by location and decor. There was a long wait for food, so we ended up having a cold snack before finishing the meeting. The business card would not work at these premises, so maybe take that into consideration before using it for a business meeting. Would I go here again... YES!

One of the more better garden centres in the local area

Lots of offers on Christmas stock it was worth a look. Often go here for a look around.

The Digg cafe is a great place to stop for cake and coffee, or lunch. Plenty of parking, good facilities, shopping for all sorts

Well stocked with a variety of products. Good cafe.

Went to meet Santa for Breakfast with our Grandaughter it was the best memory Food and service exceptional from start to finish To all the staff and Santa a Big Thank you 😊

I placed an online order and needed help with it and I sent over an email and got a response incredibly fast with amazing help and kindness Thankyou for helping me to make Christmas magical! A+ customer service by Ruth

Lovely garden centre, lots to buy and very nice quality, varied items on display. Particularly recommended as a Christmas visit. Cafe serves excellent food and drinks. A great place for a day out and a shopping trip.

A great garden centre with extremely helpful staff and a lovely café

Amazing Christmas decorations 🎄 And the cafe is quite busy but very good 👍

The place is really nicely decorated, I heard so much good about the food here so decided to go.......I wasn't impressed at all 30 minutes waiting for an avocado on toast is ridiculous. It was 1 slice of bread with one egg what was hard boiled for £7.99.....

Great range of products, staff are friendly and helpful.

Nice Christmas display but if you are looking for gardening bits as presents it's a waste of time. A few garden tools in a back corner and half of that closed due to workman's scaffolding

Lovely garden centre, well stocked, would definitely recommend to anyone with a garden!

The staff need to lose their attitude. It’s a shame that the staff are incredibly unprofessional and rude towards customers. I went today with my family and we cleaned up dog poo. The man came up to us with a face that had more attitude than me. He pulled faces at us, made a sarcastic comment and as we walked out he was gossiping and pointing us out as if we had just committed a crime. The staff are rude and customer service is terrible. If you don’t want to be treated like a second class citizen, don’t go here.

Visited trowell garden centre today. Absolutely amazing. A lot of time & effort put into the display. Took me an hour and half to walk round. The choice and prices are very good. No wonder so many people were there. If you don't go there you don't know what you are missing.

We went to see the Lemax (model Village) display, which was amazing. There's also lots of gifts and decorations, and a cafe.

Great garden centre. The Lemax Christmas village is really festive! Children and adults were in awe of this installation! It must of taken hours to do! Plenty of decorations and gift options. Delicious scones at the cafe alongside other festive treats. Well worth a visit!

Excellent garden centre, but as well as all your gardening stuff, they're in Christmas mode too at the moment with a vast range of Lemax village models to make your very own model Christmas village at home as well as Christmas trees,lights baubles and lots of other Christmas items too numerous to mention here,today was 20% off everything day so was very busy ,there's also a restaurant serving great food too,indoor loos ,plenty of parking space as they now have two car parks, there's disabled parking and wheelchairs if needed so all in all a great place to visit 😀

Loved the garden centre and the staff especially the jewellery section as they bend over backwards to help you in any way they can. Restaurants expensive but aren't they all now.

Took a clock back that didn’t work and got told they couldn’t refund us because of the value .. £19.99 .. they gave us a credit receipt so I went to spend it and couldn’t find anything nice because all that’s sold is over priced food and alcohol & faulty accessories. We won’t be returning to this garden centre👎🏻

Amazing place lots to see and buy great place to get stuff for your garden and home the cafes is great the food is great

A large garden centre with plenty of your usual offerings. Lacking character.

Nice garden centre christmas display was excellent

Really nice place, they’ve extended it made a great job. Food snd service very good, now with designated dog friendly areas in the restaurant. Breakfast served till 11:30am then lots of choices for lunch, including cakes.

Loads to see displays we're still going up . My girls age 6 and 9 loved it cafe was nice only complaint was it was a bit more on the expensive side but good range of food.

So festive, has the best decorations and gifts for Christmas (visited in November)

Amazing place to shop a big clap to staff who set up all the Christmas decorations

Great family fun garden centre. Especially loved feeding the fish

We went to look at the Christmas decorations and it did not disappoint!! Lovely garden centre, fabulous café!

Loved Digg cafe over the years but the prices are now becoming prohibitive. Not sure why my black americano ( decaff) I'd more expensive than my husbands cappuccino. So sad as have always loved it.

Garden Centre with bought in flowers this is not a Garden nursery

Food from the cafe was absolutely bob on. Decent pricing and took under 15 mins to be served piping hot. No complaints ref the Cafe, however, lots of chunky garden furniture etc had been removed to make room for the cafe and sheds removed entirely. Less garden centre, more cafe. Seems odd. A bloke working there looked at me in utter awe and almost disgust when I mentioned people do sit outside when its not Summer. Its like Id come up with an alien concept.

Not impressed with the lemax display after all the hype. Food in cafe was gorgeous, had yorkshire pud with chicken casserole in it .

Decent cafe, garden center much the same as every other. Great model collection though.

Nice place to visit maidenhead aquatics and Xmas stuff and plants of course fun day out with kids

Came here to have lunch with my friend Rachel, and to see her daughter, my god daughter Mollie who works in the lovely cafe... It's changed a bit since I last came here- which was some years ago☺️☺️☺️. They have all the Christmas decorations in , now , as it's nearly the end of October..!! The food in the cafe is very good, and there are a lot more spaces available to choose from , even though it was very busy today.. ( 26th October 24)

Great place has loads of fabulous things.

it's a good sized garden centre with a large cafe, indoor and outdoor sections as you would expect from most decent garden centres, it has a reasonable sized car park with an overflow car park. it does however have some access issues, the entry and exit road is easy to miss for a first timer (I'd suggest you use an active satnav phone or inbuilt) it is also extremely narrow with several choke points with a blind entry/exit point like a very narrow country lane, take it slow, the carparks layout and organisation is also quite poor as you have to snake in rather than it having an outer road

Love the Lemax world displays for Halloween and Christmas. Came twice in one week as visited with a friend then had to come back with the children. Ate in the cafe both times which was delicious and well priced. And spent ages looking round the huge range of Christmas decorations and general bits and pieces.

It's such a lovely garden centre which currently has the Lemax world of Halloween and Christmas Villages. Everything is nicely displayed with a range of goodies to purchase

Lovely Garden centre Brilliant cafe just not sure about the person that runs it. He walks round with a long face on him NO Customer service skills what so ever. The People that own this place should send him on a Course on how to talk to Customers.

Excellent Christmas displays. My grandchildren love the mini village and santa/Christmas display. They never fail to deligh

It was my first time at Trowell Garden centre. We stopped in the cafe for breakfast, which was really good. I loved the vegetarian sausages, and the mushrooms were great quality. The bathrooms were clean and in good condition. We then turned our attention to some seasonal shopping. The Christmas and Halloween displays were great and there was some interesting items I hadn’t seen elsewhere.

Nice garden centre, very large restaurant serving a varied menu. Visited when the Christmas decorations were on show plenty to see. A good day out.

Good selection of plants and fantastic staff Huge parking lot

Wider variety of plants and gifts than most garden centres

Visited to check out bird feeding stations! Very busy in the car park. Couldn't believe the amount of space being given over for Halloween tat, but if people are buying it then fair enough. Busy in the cafe, plenty of tables free, but several hadn't been cleared from previous occupants. Plenty of staff milling about, but apparently clearing tables wasn't their job. More training and supervision required. On the positive side it's still a good garden centre and the food and drinks sold in the cafe are very good.

Stopped off here for a look around and a snack, very nice.

Visited here today 13/10, really loved all the Xmas decorations slowly coming into stock, along with all the traditional products often seen. We had a brunch at the Cafe which was delicious, and served very quickly considering how busy it was! A really well run, place and great for just a potter around and to have a cup of tea. Highly recommended!

Lovely place to visit! The Christmas displays are beautiful! Will definitely be coming back.

Good garden centre, with a reasonably good range and quality of plants. There is a huge cafe/restaurant which is lovely, but it's a bit strange to have to find a table, then queue for 5 minutes in the service area, then wait at the table for the food. Some great gifts for Christmas near the tills.

Always the best christmas display out of all the garden centres. This year though, you have took it to an even greater level. You have done it so beautifully for the kids as well as for the adults to enjoy. The food was lovely as always in the cafe too. Friendly staff throughout the shop Well done. 👏

Have started to get Christmas decorations in. The model displays are really good

hours of Halloween and Christmas fun .

Only visited the indoor area as the weather was awful and raining. The shopping area felt old and tatty and we only stayed ten minutes. The Christmas display area was being set up although no staff were visible doing this which made the whole retail area feel disjointed and untidy. Not a great visit after not visiting for a number of years.

It's always nice .getting ready for Christmas, so parts shut off to public, but enough to see and buy .staff are always helpful

Horrific customer service. Was sold an item that was nothing like the photo and they refused to offer free return. Had to fork out £10 for return shipment. Do not buy from these scammers.

Amazing place with amazing transformation. Well done all.

Good place to visit on a rainy day. Plenty to browse indoors. A little too cramped to navigate easily with a wheelchair. Cafe good but a little over priced. Too many curtained off areas being prepared with Christmas displays. Good size car park.

This is such a lovely garden centre, it has just about everything you need for indoor and outdoor. The cafe food is excellent.

Excellent place for all your gardening essentials plus a great restaurant

Had a mid-morning meal with me having a breakfast & my wife having a cheese & onion pasty & chips. Both were excellent - the locally sourced ingredients were very tasty & in this day & age, the smallest number of road miles from farm to plate is increasingly important. Best bit? A block of butter per toast slice - heaven! Great food & a really great place to eat! Highly recommended.

Lovely garden centre, nice new roof extension outside so ideal for browsing when it's wet and miserable.

Large shopping area, with many themed displays. I only went for compost and gravel, but there is rather a lot of browsing to do. They have recently had a fair bit of work done so more of the plants are under cover. Everything for your outdoor space including live fish and a decent selection of young trees. Good range of quality toys and gifts, and a cafe - the smell of the food being cooked made me salivate but I did not stay to sample their meals.

Lovely to just have a walk around and have a coffee a well stocked and some great items

Really good garden centre lovely cafe great menu there clothes jewellery acceseries handbags plants etc 😊

The tables were wicker type furniture which had not been cleaned very well as there were lots of crumbs in the wicker. My husband had the gammon which he said was very dry,there was a couple of birds flying around inside which I didn't feel was hygienic and was told birds are always inside the restaurant,so no attempt to deter them. Also the tables were numbered and we had given our table number with our order but we noticed the waiter went to several tables before finding us! Also the trays didn't look like they had had a wipe. Will not be visiting again

A gift shop/cafe with a couple of plants. Every time I visit another area has been taken from the plants to make way for more gift items or expanding the cafe. The place has been continously loosing its identity as a garden centre over the past few years, a real shame.

Had coffee and cake with a friend in Digg In cafe and got some lovely half price plants.

Lots to see and plenty of gift ideas. Lovely cafe and great service

Lovely fresh jacket potato in the café

Cafe ok, but difficult to find and badly signed from the drive end.

It’s a little tired, but contains a lot of stuff. Maidenhead aquatics is there as well and is well stocked for fishy needs. We went to the cafe but after looking at the menu decided to leave it as although lots of tables the queue to be served was long and slow.

Heard Trowell Garden Centre had been done up ,but on arrival we were disappointed. It doesn't seem to have changed since the last time we went,which was at least 4 years ago. Not going again.😞😞

Extensive choices, as always, plenty of parking, helpful staff. Thanks to everyone.

Lots of merchandise, fantastic cafe

Nice garden centre but seems a bit silly having a 2.1m height barrier to the car park as I couldn’t get through in my campervan and had to park outside down the lane

Really nice garden centre with lots of varieties of plants and brilliant aquatic centre

Never been before. Rang customer service to make enquiries and asked quite a lot of questions The lady I spoke to wasn't phased at all in fact she was extremely friendly, helpful and professional I am really looking forward to my first visit (can't wait)

We decided to get a bite to eat after looking for several plants that we wanted and we both were really impressed with the food. We had a ham and egg salad roll and a cheese scone. Drinks were a cold can of diet coke and a coffee. We were full after such a simple brunch and both of us were impressed with the quality of the food. We have decided to go back near Christmas to see what is for sale and to have a cooked meal. Lovely brunch.

Amazing plants at good prices 👍

Came here as I have heard good things about it. The staff in the cafe need to brush up on their customer skills. I was told at 11.20am breakfast was finished and they were now serving their lunch menu. Started to tell the assistant my order she then randomly walked off, no explanation, she then came back so I could finish my order. They messed up the drinks order and I had to wait while they redid the drinks, they then forgot one of the drinks and I had to ask again for this drink to be done. There was no apology and it just seemed very chaotic. The cakes weren't great that we had and didn't taste very fresh. I won't be returning as there are better garden centre cafes that offer better quality and value for money.

Love this garden centre, plants look well cared for and not overly pricey. Lovely shop for a browse and the cafe is also very good.

Been a couple times for breakfast recently always been lovely and service is quick but you do have to get there early-ish or it can get super busy

Good food in the digg cafe great selection of Christmas decorations and gifts, we were there 11:45 and didn't have to wait long to be seated in the cafe but it was very busy by 12:30.

Great place for Christmas trees and decorations

Pig ignorant counter staff. Two of them. Date visited; Saturday 29th June... That's our last visit

Great little, out of the way find. Has everything you need. Cafes well priced & food is great too.

Lovely things and prices are reasonable. Nice cafe. The only downside is some of the customers, old rich middle class ladies who think they are superior
