Wellingtons Bistro and Cafe in Doncaster

Disappointed, Will not be returning. We have not been here for over a year due to my husband’s cancer diagnosis. Most definitely has gone down hill. When we arrived my husband was looking on the menu for a child’s size breakfast or very small portion as he’s had half his stomach removed due to cancer. He carry’s a medical card to explain about his portion sizes. There was no smaller portion or child’s menu. He had to order an early bird breakfast even though half he would not eat . We showed a very rude member of staff on the till ( with no name badge ) his medical card and asked if the fried egg could be changed for scrambled egg . She informed us that this would be an extra charge of £1.25 my husband obviously then became upset saying you want to charge me more for a different type of egg and I’m only gonna eat half of it due to the small amount i can eat. Again showing her the medical card . She walked into the back of the kitchen and then came back and said yes you have to pay it do you want it or not. We will definitely not be returning and this will be shared elsewhere and on group cancer forums that have also had this procedure done to remove cancer. Also i will add we waited 10min for our coffees and when returning to our table the food was already there getting cold . Shocking, avoid this cafe . There are plenty more with excellent staff and management and do not discriminate again people with complex medical issues.

Visited with a friend and my mother for lunch. Accompaniments missing from two of the meals which we had to ask for and the pastry on the pie I had ordered was not cooked on the bottom and sides. The waitress asked if I wanted another and I said I did. She returned from the kitchen saying that they bought the pies in implying it was not their fault if it wasn't cooked. She asked if I wanted a different pie. I asked if they were all bought in and she said yes. I choose a different meal. It was only later I realized that it was 2 pounds cheaper. They did not offer to refund the difference or offer any kind of compensation for the inconvenience. It used to be a nice place to eat but now it seems a lot of things are bought in. Very disappointing!!

We went for lunch I ordered an egg mayonnaise baguette which I had on a previous visit & it was lovely, but when it came this time it was a baguette full of mayo & a small smattering of egg I tasted it but it was nearly all mayo !! it made me feel nauseous so I told a staff member I couldn't eat it & why she was polite & went to fetch the manager, the manager came eventually she at first said I had made my choice I said yes but this was not of the same standard as I had experienced before she eventually agreed to offer me another choice of baguette the only one left I could eat was a ham cheese & pickle when this came there was no butter on bread no pickle & a small amount of grated cheese the "ham" was thick cut lumps of white fat with a small bit of meat attached & I mean SMALL it was revolting !! very disappointed & expensive for what u got certainly wouldn't recommend!! a very poor excuse for a lunch !!

It’s the one stop garden shop! But not only that, they stock things you wouldn’t dream of! Great service and fair prices as well! Worth a visit.

Me and my boyfriend come here religiously. We fuel our mornings with sizzling hot breakfast delights for just £8! All-day breakfast and a piping hot drink - the perfect start to our Sunday. Always a delight! Been coming here for over a year on and off. Not had 1 back breakfast! A few pictures from a few visits. Always hot. We ask for extra hot cappuccino so we can enjoy once we’ve demolished breakfast.

Worst carvery ever!!! All cold. Mash was lumpy with almost raw pieces. Carrot/ swede mash lumpy and watery. Sprouts were mush. Green beans fresh from kitchen were hot but almost raw. Cold frozen Yorkshire pudding. Awful meal. We left most of it. Coffee & cake ok. Staff need to tie hair back or wear a hat of some kind.

Not been here for a few years and won't be back. Went with my husband for lunch. We both had the crispy chicken and bacon sandwich which was supposed to come with chips, coleslaw, onion, tomato and lettuce. The lunch came with no onion and no coleslaw. I asked one of the staff where the Coleslaw was and she said they ran out (forgot to ask about the onion). She offered me a pot of cheese instead! I accepted as thought it may add to taste. The chicken was like you get from supermarket freezers over cooked and covered in oil and obviously very cheap. I also thought it might have been double cooked.The fries were awful again cheap frozen ones. All I ate was a couple of chips and the bacon. My husband ate most of the chips and the chicken and bacon although he said it was very greasy but he was hungry. The meal was £9.95 each. I could have made that for £1. The meal looked ut was thrown together. Whoever cooks the food should be ashamed of themselves. A friend also told me afterwards that they went last week and the food was inedible. Only decent thing was the coffee

Had the wellington breakfast , swapped a couple items , no problem swapping , staff very friendly and food was lovely, the cafe is clean and spacious , food is a good price and atmosphere nice and relaxing

Recently visited for breakfast, not the best I’ve ever had. Bacon was barely cooked, scrambled eggs quite rubbery. Coffee wasn’t nice at all, will give it another chance in the future.

The food was delicious visited with family and friends would definitely come again nice And local 👍🏻

I eat there regularly for breakfast which is generally okay. However, once I ate there for lunch and had burger and chips. The burger itself was fine, but the bread bun was hard in places and the chips were old, chewy and lukewarm, unable to eat both the bread and the chips. Interestingly no-one asked us if we were enjoying our meals, I wonder why? How can someone who calls themselves a chef/cook allow that to go out!

We enjoyed a cracking Wellington, full English breakfast on Sunday morning. They open at 10:30am and were already busy ten minutes later. We were a family of four & one of us opted for the vegetarian breakfast, which looked great and was equally, very enjoyable. Next time, we’ll choose our table a little more carefully as once the four adult plates and cups & saucers were served, we were short of space. My husband & I had been just a day earlier and had Jubilee coffee & cake. The coffee is really nice but avoid sitting close to the serving area as it’s a really noisy coffee machine. One slight criticism is that it would have been nice if someone had collected our plates when we’d finished eating. We stacked them on the table where they stayed until we left. Having said that, we will be back.

I came for food with two of my friends when i ordered the special which was cod fish cakes with chips and salad. I told the woman serving i didn’t want the salad so she offered peas instead, which i kindly said no thank you. The meal arrived with the peas on the plate after i said i didn’t want them, they were touching the rest of my food, which if i had an allergy would’ve ended badly. Also, most of the staff that were running the food didn’t have there hair tied up which meant it could’ve possibly got onto someone’s meal. The tables had not been wiped before we sat at the table as there was salt all over the table. The prices of the food didn’t reflect on the taste of the food, the chips were hard. Overall, not best pleased with our visit here.

Visited this cafe for a quick coffee. On arrival all empty tables were left with dirty trays and leftovers. Cleared a table and queued for coffee. After asking for a daily alternative the assistant offered oat milk. She failed to inform me that there is actually an extra charge for having oat milk and only recognising this on my receipt.it’s not the cost that has annoyed me but the principle of it. It’s the only place I have been that I have been charged extra for a milk alternative

Fancied a quick breakfast. Have known about this bistro cafe for a while. Opened at 10am and was already busy. I had early bird breakfast, husband had Wellington full English. There are as absolutely nothing left on my plate it was delicious, pot of tea as just right also, all for less than £15 for both of us.

Called today after looking around the garden centre. 1st ever visit but will not return. Ordered 2 ham & cheese paninis which were both not as hot as they should have been. The cook needs a thermometer to make sure the food is hot & a lesson on how to use a microwave to cook frozen paninis. Also ordered apple crumble for pudding but this came out at the same time as the paninis so that too was cold by the time I got to eat it. Had to return this to the kitchen to be replaced as it was rock hard. The replacement was the same so that was left. Wouldn't waste my money here again

Food was ok but my big issue was that they do not accept cash. This means i will not eat here again as we always pay cash when we eat out

Nice cake and Cup of tea, however marked down due to not accepting cash. Luckily I had a debit card with me. If my Dad had been paying he wouldn't have a debit card. what happens then do they turn customers away because they can't pay? These place have to realise that not everyone carries a card!

We have been here on a regular basis over the past few years and enjoyed good friendly service, good coffee and scones. After the two lockdowns we were impressed by how well Covid regulations were followed. Very disappointing early this week to visit for coffee...

A busy well run place respecting Covid regulations. Well spaced out and we had lovely sunshine. The service seemed to be quite quick. Only problem was my coffee order seemed to get misplaced or it could have been 5 stars. The coffee and scones were...

Great service. Couldn't feel safer in today's strange world. We had very strong and tasty flat white coffees and a small gluten free breakfast. Everything cooked to perfection and gluten free toast decent for once! The staff were as attentive as they can be Socially...

I know that table service required by Covid is a challenge to venues but it does not excuse the poor service we received that was then exacerbated by appalling customer service. An order of two jacket potatoes and two coffees is not complicated. As we...

We visit here on quite a regular basis and we are always more than happy with the service and with the food. We really cannot sing it's praises highly enough. Govt guidelines are being adhered to ie, one way in and another way out, limited...

Went back to this cafe for the first time since the "lockdown" and it was good to be back. There is obviously all of the regulations in place but the food was still as nice. On saying that, I had cottage pie (which I have...

We popped in for some lunch and left very disappointed. I had a chorizo sandwich and it was very dry, the promised hummus was absent. My partner had the hunter chicken baguette, the chicken was very dry as well. She did find a hair in...

There's excellent choices for seniors at £6.50. Unfortunately the cottage pie with chips and gravy has only a small piece of pie about 4 inches square with peas and gravy! Not good value even for a reduced price.

Called in for a lunchtime snack, panini with salad. Good and tasty,10 min wait but it was Sunday lunchtime. Good place to eat and drink at reasonable prices.

We visited the garden centre for the first time in ages. Well stocked and getting ready for Christmas. As it was twenty past eleven I mentioned to the elderly amongst our part that we should head towards the cafe if we were eating there. Being...

We have been to a Wellingtons numerous times but today was not a good day. Yes it was Sunday lunchtime and they were busy but that doesn’t explain the poor service and poor food. We ordered two sandwiches and waited 30 minutes. When I queried...

Called in for a coffee with the intention of having a light snack but one look at the stained grubby menu put us right off, just couldn't bring myself to touch it, pity because the latte was very good

The restaurant itself was very good with plenty of choice on the menu. We visited with our daughter and boyfriend for a quick catch up as they live nearby. We ordered hot drinks and cake except my husband who is diabetic. Whilst at the counter...

This is a brilliant cafe in a lovely garden centre. The garden centre is very reasonably priced and has a huge selection of virtually everything. The cafe is always spot on. This time I had cottage pie dinner and my hubby had ham and eggs...

After spending too much money at the garden centre,it’s always nice to sit down in the cafe and enjoy coffee and cakes. Always kept very clean,and with cheerful staff,it’s always a welcome break!

A late Coffee morning on my own after fish shopping at Doncaster Market. Then a slow drive back home.

It would be harsh of me to offer criticism of a product I have not tasted so I will leave out the hot food options in this place which I have to say looked appetising. For me the main stay of any place that calls itself a bistro and cafe( bistro this place isn't really in the true sense of the word) is the quality of its surroundings and coffee. I ordered two black coffees and a fruit scone at a cost of six pounds and fourth nine pence. The coffee here is tasteless weak and frankly not worth half the price they were charging. The quality is poor and I suspect very weakly brewed with the addition of too much water. The scone was chewy and not what I expected from this English

I have eaten here twice now and both times have not been impressed. First time the bacon was missing from my burger after a 20 minute wait. It was taken away for another 10 minutes and came back with chips that were barely warm! Clearly it had just been sat for 10 minutes waiting for the bacon.As you can imagine by this time, my companion was almost finished eating and I had lost interest. Today I thought, I will give it another go... Wish I hadn't bothered. I ordered a wonderful looking pie special, again a lengthy wait. To my dismay it was once again luke warm, the gravy had developed a skin, makes you wonder how long it had been waiting to come out? Meanwhile my friend had to wait another 5 minutes for her meal and I couldn't hang around waiting to eat at the same time as mine was barely warm enough as is. I was about done by the time her Salad arrived, the salad was missing ingredients stated on the menu. So if you don't mind like warm food and items missing, go for it, I otherwise wouldn't bother.

Lovely place. Lovely food, but very slow to get your food. We ended up taking away, as we had to get back to work.

Expensive for what you get, I ordered gammon and got cold Ham with a small portion of chips my Partner ordered a jacket potato with prawns which was small and tasted earthy it came with a large amount of unwashed salad to fill the plate

Called in here as we were visiting the garden centre. It was busy and the queue at the counter long. We managed to get a table but it was dirty as were others and the tables not cleared. I collected the pots and put them on a tray and put it on another uncleared table.

Met a friend here for Sunday morning breakfast. We both had the scrambled eggs on toast and it was to die for. Lovely service as usual even though it was quite busy. We didn’t stay for lunch but the carvery looked lovely: they were putting it out as we left.

We always visit this cafe when visiting the garden centre and have always had a lovely meal. The staff are friendly. It is always busy which sometimes means you struggle to get a table, but you just have to be patient and wait. The fact that it's always busy tells you how good it is. There is a good selection on the menu and it is reasonably priced.

We visited with friends and were disappointed with the food. Two of my party had cheese burgers which they described as ok and pretty average. I had a prawn baguette with Marie Rose sauce , the prawns lacked taste and had a dribble of Marie Rose sauce. The coffee was very nice , staff friendly but the food average, nothing to entice us back.

We called here my husband and I,as we were shopping in the garden centre, what a lovely place so clean and friendly prices were fair and the food was beautiful, best of all they have a vegan menu which is a bonus ,the food was of a high standard full of flavour ,the staff were young but very hard working very polite and smart,we will definitely call back it's a great find in this area 10/10.

As always the coffee was great, the cakes were delicious and the menu extensive. Portions are huge. The staff are efficient, cheerful and ready to help if you are unable to carry your tray. They also make large groups welcome

Called in Today 12 Dec18 for a spot of lunch, as we often do. Sitting at the next table were 2 old men and one old woman. Dressed up in their fancies with wine glasses full of cold water and all three sporting their Christmas Cracker Party Hats. They sat for a while then the angel appeared amongst them (the waitress), bearing large trays of the most scrumptious looking Christmas meals for all of them. The manager came out and added his good wishes to the party and the old folks got on with their Christmas party. I thought what a fantastic way to make an old persons Christmas and I'm sure they would do it for others. This restaurant is second to none for the quality of food and the friendliness and efficiency of staff. 100% all round.

Decided to try Wellingtons for lunch, usually go earlier and have latte and teacake.

I’m vist here regularly for a catch up with friends or breakfast with my sister.

I visited the cafe on a weekday morning with my husband. There was a nice atmosphere & it wasn’t too busy. The fruit scone that I had was delicious and my husband enjoyed his cooked breakfast. We will definitely return.

I love this place, the cakes are to die for, especially the carrot cake,

Once again we enjoyed a lovely meal at this restaurant. We always call in when at the garden centre as the food is lovely. You do sometimes have to queue but that shows how good it is. The service is quick, efficient and friendly and you don't have to wait too long for your meal.There is indoor and outdoor seating and tables for two for four and for six.

A lovely afternoon tea, exceptional value for money and served so well. Staff were lovely, the chef also came to see us to ensure all was well. Delightful! Thank you

Stopped for lunch whilst shopping, was pleasantly surprised. Four good sized meals and drinks for under 40 quid, amazing value. Staff seemed very happy working here on a busy Bank Holiday Monday, it was certainly service with a smile. Food was well presented and cooked, portions were more than adequate. Some of the big chains could certainly learn from this cafe, will make a bee line for Wellingtons next time I'm in the area.

I have visited the garden centre many times and always stop by the cafe. The pot of tea is a generous size and the chocolate brownies are to die for! Scones are also lovely and the quality of the sweet treats on offer is worth sampling. I haven't tried the savouries as yet but I'm sure this will be happening soon. Only reason it doesn't score excellent for me is it is rather expensive in comparison to other comparable local garden centre cafes I have visited. However I will definitely visit again next time, those brownies are irresistible!

Absolutely loved this cafe! Breakfast was amazing and the staff were lovely. Definitely recommend for a visit

Called in as I’d passed it a couple of times and it looked like it had potential . Firstly unbearable heat in the indoor area secondly all plants unloved uncared for and looked messy untidy and uninspiring . Third I made a few purchases in the shop (toiletries )I was then made to stand in a queue while 3 members of staff looked for a price on a tile for a member of the public . No apologies when I got to the till no pleasantries in fact rude will I call again NO !

Have visited this cafe several times and have always been happy with our food. On visiting this time, I had cottage pie which was the best cottage pie ever. My slight criticism would be that they put the pot of gravy on the plate to fill the plate as when I removed the pot I was disappointed with how few veg there were, a few peas and a few carrots.My hubby had the house cheeseburger and he was really pleased with his meal. The food is always really tasty and the staff are friendly and helpful. Our order came to £20.10 with one cold drink.

Met up with a friend and we had the deluxe afternoon tea,we booked the day before. It was lovely, table was set up for us arriving,the food was amazing (Only downside for me was I don't like peanut butter,and one of the deserts is a peanut butter cup, I didn't realise this and thought it was a chocolate bun so bit into it and found it was peanut butter). The staff were friendly. We will be coming back again.

I stopped a local resident in Tickhill which is on the way to Rotherham. I enquired if there was a decent place to have a meal. She was most disparaging about there being no good restaurants in the village, but suggested that I go to the garden centre where there was a restaurant called WELLINGTONS. It is open from 9 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. so is most appropriate to get lunch there.

Don’t use this place as much as we should as it’s too close to home and we tend to do our cycling coffee stops further afield so this time around I met the wife here at the end of a ride instead. It was worth the wait!

Called in for an early lunch. Gammon egg and chips and a bacon and Brie panini with side salad and tortilla crisps. Beautiful cooked gammon but alas hard yolk eggs. Tasty lovely though. Plenty of filling in the panini. Plenty of seating as early but by the time our order arrived there was a long queue. Had to change the cup as dirty - please ensure all cups and cutlery is clean as you could raise your standards and have 5*.

decent coffee & cake, as late afternoon part of seating area closed off & staff cleaning.

what was wrong was the immediate overwhelming stuffy atmosphere (air) in the cafe with an odor ! checking round this cafe which at a guess would hold 250 people has not one ventilation fan or roof vent, windows were closed as weather not great but extractors should be fitted high up. must be hell in summer,

My partner and I went for lunch Saturday of Easter weekend. The meal was mediocre to say the least. My partner had pie and the crust was so well cooked he couldn't get his knife through it ! My gluten free cottage pie was taseless and both meals were very small portions with expensive price tag definitely not value for money. We could have gone elsewhere and had a lovely carvery for less than what we paid. Won't be going there again

There is a good choice of food here but it comes at a price. We were eating out later in the day so we only wanted a sandwich. I ordered a prawn sandwich with Marie Rose sauce but there was so much sauce that what didn't soak into the bread just ran off it (and all down my hands). I ordered it without cucumber but when the sandwich arrived it was served with salad including cucumber. Very expensive at £6 for 2 slices of bread and a few prawns.

I keep coming back here, as it's conveniently situated in the garden centre, hoping each time that it will improve but today was the worst ever.

Called in for breakfast on Saturday morning. Great vegetarian option of goats cheese, mushrooms and spinach on wholemeal toast with a balsamic glaze. Tasty and filling. A very good choice

We always visit this cafe when in the Cherry Lane Garden Centre and have never been disappointed. The staff are friendly (despite usually being busy). The food is nice and reasonably priced and it's clean. We paid £12.70 for two breakfasts and two hot drinks.

Very expensive for what you get £8;99 for chicken goujons and salad surprisingly the coffee was reasonable' and very nice dont bother buying a large one which comes in a bucket like cup. Liked the old cafe better and their prices no soap or toilet roll in the facilities.

Called in for a coffee on passing, which was great, then decided we would have a snack but one touch of the stained dirty menu was enough to put us off, also the tray we used had one corner broken off and was all frayed.

Called into the bistro with my wife having just visited the garden centre. We were pleasantly surprised just how good it was. There is a very good selection of hot and cold food along with hot and cold drinks. The cafe is very clean with ample seating inside and out. All the staff were very pleasant and obliging and nothing was to much trouble for them. We will defiantly be visiting again and I recommend this cafe to anyone visiting the garden centre.

Call here often fir a coffee and cake plenty of choice and always very tasty. Calvert very good and value for money lovely staff and lovely ambience lots of seating

Went to Garden Centre for some bits as we was there we pop in for some lunch which was help full for us two.

Nice place to have lunch whilst looking around the garden centre. Good choice of sandwiches, jacket potatoes , soup etc. Reasonably priced and a nice place to take my Dad.

Group of friends met there for a mid-week lunch. Most of us had the cheese on toast which was delicious. Choice of brown or white bread, nice thick slices, plenty of cheese and a dash of Worcestershire sauce. Washed down with a cappuccino. Lovely friendly staff. Clean and bright. Lovely looking cakes on display too.

Nothing to shout about. Food was ok but have eaten a lot better. Cafe appeared clean and food didn't take long to arrive.

Massive garden centre. Lots to see on a first visit. Cafe is spacious and clean. Good staff. Food was delivered to table quickly. All family clear plates on a variety of dishes. Pie of the day for myself had plenty of meat. Will be back again.

Hemos venido varias veces y disfrutamos de la comida, pero parece un poco caro para un jardín. El gran problema para mí es cómo se puede limpiar los cubiertos, siempre vale la pena que lo registre como ellos recogida! En los precios que cobran creo que es razonable esperar que todos sean limpias, en vez de revisar que están marcadas/manchas o aún tienen toques atrapados en ellos.

We had four different options from the breakfast menu and we had no complaints about any of them. Very large portions of scrambled egg on toast, too big for one of our party. Cooked breakfasts were very good, although baked beans could have been hotter.

I do like this place. Attentive service and great food. Could be classed as a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. I'd recommend the Bacon and Brie, the all day breakfast and their smoothies. All really good!

Popped in for lunch whilst looking around the nursery. Clean and tidy inside and out. Food was ok but definitely overpriced. Nearly £19 for 2 baguettes and 2 pepsis. Staff on the till were very slow and didn't seem to know what to do.

Thank you for a lovely Sunday lunch. The food was good and the staff were very friendly. Have been for coffee and cake previously but this was our first full meal. Very impressed and reasonably priced. One to remember x

Short pit stop for coffee and cake. No complaints from any of our party. Decent coffee. We had a variety of cakes with Flo's mum rating the lemon drizzle the best. This is a nice place to grab a coffee if you are visiting the garden centre.

Plenty of choice, good meals at a reasonable price, friendly service. Lovely to sit for a cuppa and cake after shopping in the great garden centre which sells so much more than plants.

Nice bite to eat. This isn't my first visit & it definitely will not be my last. A large snack type menu, like jacket potatoes, sandwiches, cakes, etc. They also do a Sunday carvery. All sorts of different drinks. Does get very busy around lunch time.As like most garden centres cafes it's not cheap, but well worth it. A must try.

Apparently my parents are regulars here, and insisted I try the place on a shopping visit. Without even checking the menu, I ordered lasagne. I was just in the mood for it.Unfortunatley, the portion I received was far from perfect. It had very little sauce between the layers of pasta, and the edges and corners of the lasagne were overcooked to the point of being impossible to cut, and hard to chew.The side salad was tasty, as was the very light garlic bread accompaniment, and the decaff latte is one of the best I've tasted. The Staff were pleasant and helpful.However, my lunch, on the day, was a disappointment, compounded by someone's decision to boost the volume of the background music (and we were sitting by a speaker) as the number of diners increased, making the ambient noise level even higher and conversation difficult. I wanted to be impressed, for my parents' sake, but Wellingtons fell short.

As a regular visitor I would say we are lucky to have the facility on our doorstep in Tickhill. Always a pleasant welcome from manager and staff.Nice decor and atmosphere.Food and service very good. Especially breakfast. Can get busy at weekends but that's expected as it's next to ( within) the garden centre.Recommend

Great selection of food and served fast and to a high standard.The cakes selection makes desert to a full English a must for anyone!!

Having visited this establishment frequently since opening I have noticed more and more that small snack items are extremely overpriced. Previously having encountered over priced very small mince pies prior to Xmas, today we experienced a packet of 2 small biscuits for £1.50, just above the size normally provided free of charge at most cafes! Just not good enough, this 'rip off' lets down what is otherwise a very good place to eat whilst at the adjacent garden centre.

As we were at the garden centre we decided to grab a bite to eat before an afternoon meeting. The place was really busy but service was prompt and efficient. My wife is vegan so the choice was limited but a jacket potato sufficed as I tucked into my daily special of roast pork and stuffing baguette. I've been here before and always been delighted with everything, especially the breakfasts which is something I'll be trying again soon.

Have visited this cafe quite a few times and have always had a lovely meal. It's clean and the staff are friendly. It's always busy when we call but the staff seem to cope with it ok. Two cottage pie dinners £15.40 one tea £1.95 and one bottle Tango orange £2.60. Total £19.95.

Having visited frequently since opening we have used this establishment for breakfast, brunch, coffee and lunch. We have noticed that some individual items are well over priced, such as a very small mince pie costing £1.85, even the server thought it was over priced! Otherwise usually okay as a convenience for using the adjacent garden centre, not too expensive to bother going elsewhere, but will not forget the mince pie!

its a cafe very clean good selection helpful friendly staff can get busy but pleasant surroundings so you don't mind waiting

We've been there a couple of times for breakfast. On both occasions we have been there at around 10am when it wasn't particularly busy so the noise mentioned by others hasn't been a problem. Husband had the full English both times which he said was very good, although a little dry - it came out about 5 minutes after we'd ordered so presumably the bacon and sausage is kept warm.On our first visit I had goats cheese and spinach on toast and was almost overfaced by the size of the portion. Very tasty though. On our second visit I had cheese on toast with Worcester sauce. Although it sounds very ordinary the portion was again large and very tasty. The coffee was good.We eat many breakfasts and I think this one is a little expensive, although the main lunch menu looked reasonably priced. I would certainly revisit.

My mother and I had been to the garden centre so popped into Wellington's for lunch. My mum's not eating much at the mo, so just had a pot of tea (little tea pot, not just a cup, so that's good) and a scone, said it was alright. I had a jacket potato with tuna - not hot enough, but the accompanying salad was nice. I also had cappucino which was a nice big cup, but not exceptional. The place is rather noisy, even though not full and I think it has a "captive market" from the garden centre of people who think "well, we'll have something to eat here", not of people who've especially gone to eat there. As I said, it filled a hole and, if we go back to the garden centre, I'd go again - but I wouldn't have the jacket potato!

Very busy which shows its popularity but noisy due to hard floor and metal roof. It did drown out the piped music though. Food good bit overpriced considering environment. Staff dealt well with numbers coming through. The garden centre itself very good.

always pop in here when we are shopping at cherry lane, great food and snacks and good coffee, its always busy which is a good sign of a good bistro

Visited here with someone I support with disabilities was disappointed as they don't do instant coffee only filtered coffee and your posh coffees , I ended up having tea as filted coffee is to strong, atmosphere seemed friendly and will go back

much more choice than your usual garden centre cafe with hot meals, paninis, salads, afternoon teas, morning coffee, special offers. Order at counter the waitress served.

Called in on a Sunday morning for breakfast. Lovely clean restaurant with plenty of choice for seating. Ordered cheese on toast with Worcestershire sauce and scrambled eggs on toast with mushrooms. A fresh orange juice and an iced latte. Didn't wait long for the food to be brought to the table, it was delicious. Will definately be going again, this time to try the lunch menu.

I ordered ham, chips and salad (instead of 2 eggs). The ham was tasteless and a strange texture and the salad was more like a garnish ~ bit of chopped up lettuce, few pieces of diced cucumber and beetroot and just 2 pieces of diced tomato ~ it was pathetic! I should have complained but couldn't be bothered. Poor value for money ..... £7 for a meal I didn't enjoy! My lunch partner ordered a pulled pork in barbeque sauce panini ~ which, although tasty, was just a few shreds of pork in sauce. Won't be going again.
