Willowbrook Cafe and Tea Room in Taunton Deane - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Compared to a few other garden centres nearby this cafe offers a good value menu with interesting choices, all freshly made. Plenty of outside space with lovely views of the blackdowns. There are some lovely chickens roaming around outside too which is nice. Friendly cafe, highly recommend.

The cafe is very easy to find and well signposted from the outside and indoors. It was very busy, we did visit on a late Sunday morning. Only a few tables free indoors but plenty of spaces outside in the sunshine or undercover. We didn't have to wait long before we could order our drinks at the till, 1 medium white hot chocolate with marshmallows and 1 large hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream, £8.36 for both. The lady and the till was friendly and it was nice to see she did ask my 12 year old what she would like instead of asking me. We found a table outside and the drinks arrived within 10 minutes. A good size mug with a fairly good amount of marshmallows and cream on it. The drink itself was very warm but not hot, but tasty. The food menu looks good with a good amount of choice but not cheap. I can't say anything about the quality, we didn't have food, but the plates coming out of the kitchen did look nice! The toilet area is right next to the cafe, wheelchair access and a baby changing unit are also there.

Lovely food . Mainly go for Breakfast. Quick service, very friendly and polite . Reasonably priced. Would highly recommend 😊

Avery nice meal , Quick service , staff helpful , easy parking Easy enterance for disabled , good menu & rather well priced.

We went for breakfast and the quality was exceptional. Well cooked fresh produce. I was persuaded to try fried bread ( I’m a toast fan) it was delicious, golden, crispy and not greasy. The coffee was excellent, one of the best flat whites to be had locally. The service was great and the staff were friendly and that didn’t change even when it got really busy. A first class breakfast.

Fantastic food we eat there every time we are over that way, we had steak and ale pie and it was best we have had out!! Potato carrot's beans and red cabbage five stars 👍👍

Very slow service - my food turned up but no sign of my partner’s dessert which we requested at the same time. This is the third occasion this has happened in three weeks. We queried this with young girl “waitress” who was rude and turned her back on us. The girls need simple training on the basics of working in a cafe, i.e cutlery is always a good thing to have when you are eating custard or soup!! The coffee usually turns up sloshed all over the tray! They need to pull their socks up big time!! We will not return.

A lovely place to eat. The toasted bacon brie and cranberry sandwich served with salad and crisps was delicious. Staff very friendly and helpful. Coffee was also great. Enjoyed watching the chickens roaming around outside. Will definitely be eating here again A 5star experience

Dropped in just for a coffee on the way back from Taunton - until we saw the breakfast menu. Chose the eggy bread with balsamic cooked tomatoes and bacon. Wow, delicious. It was difficult to decide what to have so went for this option as it was so different. Definitely not disappointed. The staff are so friendly and prices very reasonable. Not sure why we haven’t been in before but will certainly go back. They do a loyalty card for coffee so it is worth trying to fill up to get a free cup. Such a pretty place to eat, just wish it had been a bit warmer so we could have sat outside. Those brave enough to do so had the company of chickens and ducks strutting their stuff around the tables. Oh, and we bought some Dundee cake to take home.

Waited for ages to be served and not overly busy. No please or thank you given. Young girl had false nails that were at least 4 inches long and dished up ice cream never even put gloves on. When given my change it took ages as due to long nails she couldn't pick up the pound coins!!!!. She never smiled once. Will try another garden centre perhaps one with health and hygiene put in place

Me and my family have been regular visitors to this establishment and I must say it's the worst it's been in a long time. There were no Sunday roasts being served and all that was on display to tell us this was a small chalk board on the front of the counter- common sense would tell you PUT IT ON THE DOOR PEOPLE ENTER FROM. The till was being manned by what I can only describe as an inexperienced person because when I asked her a question all I had was a dumbfounded look of mystery and no proper answer to what she was being asked. There are no menus anymore and the meals can only be seen on the boards next to the kitchen opening. I have enjoyed coming here but tables were dirty and not cleaned properly, the staff were happy to stand around waiting for things to happen rather than motivating themselves to get something done, The prices have gone up but the standards have lowered it's a shame because I know that they are capable of so much better and you can't keep blaming it on lack of staff because there seemed plenty on when I visited (approximately 7) I also feel I need to add if you consider coming here try not to ask for the male chef he has a terrible attitude towards customers and should be thankful for the customer feedback. Like many others we shall not be visiting again.

We are or were at least regular visitors here for lunch. we went because the staff would go out of the way to ensure my coeliac friend would get her gluten free scone as they often needed prior notice to ensure they were on the menu. Sadly it seems it is not the same happy upbeat eager to please atmosphere anymore what's changed ?? The poor servers looked absolutely run ragged and stressed there appeared to be only 2 people front of house. so how on earth they could be expected to cope during a busy lunch service I've no clue. We were also concerned to see cakes containing nuts next to non nut based cakes on the same shelf!. so we decided desert was off the menu on this occasion The food was still up to the usual standards and the service expectedly slow (not the servers fault). The servers were polite and helpful as always but it was very obvious they were running a gauntlet. the whole experience was honestly off putting im sad to say further lunches will be enjoyed elsewhere

Come for coffee and cake regularly but during June this time sadly there was no plates my elderly friend and I had to eat cake from a brown paper bag and no knife to cut the cake it was embarrasing as i took her for a treat . Sadly we had to sit on a table of four because the tables of two were full of crockery and dirty The coffee was luke warm and it wasn't the old staff that we remember. missing the happy staff that we were always smiling and happy to help . The establishment has changed somewhat and sadly I have to report a bad experience I don't normally do this but I feel that you should know to be able make adjustments however the food is still great standard and very tasty . The manager is never at the front to be able to catch her to mention anything. this time was a poor experience. Sadly because my friend and I were always fond of willobrook and some of the girls who worked here . I wish you well for the future and I am sorry to have had to say this .

Lovely garden centre.. Not too expensive and staff super friendly. We have lunch in beautiful garden there with hens wondering around.. :) Food was lovely. Would go back when in area again

Came here today as we’d had a very disappointing experience trying to get lunch at Sheppys (never again!). What a breath of fresh air this lovely cafe is. Reasonably priced food, friendly and courteous staff and really quick service. Food was lovely and they do a really nice decaf latte too! It might not have the decor and the price tag of Sheppys but I’d come back here any day. Well done Willowbrook.

Vrey helpful staff , good food , nice outlook over garden center Sort of place to go for a relaxing lunch

Having been told about their breakfast menu had to investigate, wasn't disappointed, brilliant selection and service and prices great.

Always tell if restaurant is good by amount there this was well full but still a quick service Well worth a visit pleanty of parking

Food tasted lovely and was well presented. Had ordered a veggie breakfast and a jacket potato and two lattes. Let down because there is a sign saying no dogs allowed inside (understandable as there are tables available outside to use) and a dog was inside (some staff were aware of its presence but didn't say anything), this was not a support dog as the owner was heard saying she knew she should not be inside! This wasn't a major issue for me personally but the owner was feeding it from a tub on the floor and it was messing all the floor up. Sorry, but if there is a rule it should be enforced so everyone knows where they stand and those that don't like dogs around them when eating know it is a dog free cafe (except for support dogs) or remove the sign and allow all dogs to be fair to all. Make your mind up......

Despite being busy the service was swift. My husband is coeliac and gluten free is a must for him, but this was no problem. Nice, cheerful, efficient staff

I visit here as much as possible .the food is good and the staff with the exception of one young girl are lovely ,polite ,and hard working .it's lovely and clean as are the toilets.there is a large and varied menu,though the only tiny complaint...

Called in here to get a quick snack lunch close to the M5. Good choice! The weather was very kind so we took one of many outside tables, all shaded by generous sized umbrellas. Ordered our dishes which were soon delivered to the table by...

Superb brunch. Cosy seating overlooking rolling hills. Chickens roaming and cockerils which is interesting. Rest room clean tidy and flowers. Staff were helpful and lovely. The South African lady was so lovely. Eggs were fresh and delicious. Definitely go again.

Surly cafe staff Nice place just marred by the poor customer service (grumpy staff) in the cafe. Shane as it ruined what was otherwise a pleasant afternoon for us.

This cafe is on the A38 not far from Junction of M5 so well worth a detour if want a change from the services at Taunton Deane. Is part of the Willowbrook garden Centre, at the rear overlooking the plant sales area. We were staying...

Staying in Wellington for a few days we went here for Breakfast. Really nice toast marmalade & Coffee served by friendly staff. COVID-19 precautions adhered too.

Friendly place for a coffee. Great cakes. Such a nice touch to give a free babychino to a toddler. This appeared to be warm milk with a sprinkling of chocolate. Clean loos and great t see the contented ducks and chickens strolling around

Went for a light lunch with a friend. I had bubble and squeak . The potatoes and cabbage were nicely browned, the poached egg perfectly cooked and the ham,delicious especially with some pickle. My friend had poached eggs on toast with cheese sauce which she...

COVID precautions the best I’ve seen. Well policed and everything wiped down before you can sit. Selection of food was good traditional British fayre - Welsh rarebit, bubble and squeak, when it arrived it tasted wonderful and was well presented. Very pleasant staff, efficient and...

Our son took us here for coffee.What a pleasure to sit outside in the sunshine and watch the chickens and ducks. The toilet facilities were spotless. A great idea to give our 2 year old grandson a babychino. This was a warm milk and it...

Lovely garden centre with lots of very friendly helpful staff and a very well stocked nursery, staff always very friendly and cuddle my dog and offer him biscuits which makes his day! Very handy to motorway to stop off for a break, cafe gardens are...

Ordered fish and chips and also the vegetable pie. Delivered quickly and piping hot. Tasty vegetables with the pie and cooked well, would just say that the mash topping on the pie would preferably be better a little more browned, but that's just a personal...

Stopped off for a bite to eat for breakfast. Very good food, socially distanced tables made you feel very covid secure. Cafe is based within a very nice garden centre.

Garden centre that welcomes dogs except in the tea room. Young lady was rude - didn’t offer to wipe the outside seats down which were wet. Made us feel embarrassed.

Came for a cup of tea and a cake, ended up having a cooked breakfast, it was the best breakfast we had had in a long time, lovely pot of tea whilst it was all freshly cooked, arrived hot and delicious! My daughter had the...

We stopped off here on our way to Wellington for lunch. I had cod and chips and my husband, a burger. Both were very tasty.The staff are always very welcoming and greet you with a smile and the service is very efficient. We have been here before and had breakfast which again was very tasty.

Needed a quick lunch , saw Willowbrook and pulled in. Appeared to be a lot of locals in the cafe and good atmosphere . Quick service and the steak pie was delicious, packed with meat . Nice to see a Garden centre unspoilt by modern day trappings

Love this Garden Center.. It is so full of stock and very friendly staff. The icing on the cake for us is the fabulous restaurant.. Wonderful choices.. We loved the Steak and Guinness Pie very much.. We come back again and again as We like Willowbrook so much.

Ordered 2 vegetarian breakfasts. Delivered to the table efficiently. Well presented and tasty. Ordered warm drinks to be delivered with the meals and they did. Egg cooked perfectly. Had many meals here, always good.

Down side first, and I'm being picky. Reserved signs too small and when placed amongst condiments not obvious, hence servers having to keep pointing them out to customers. Is it really good practise to reserve seats? We had our meal and left before one reserved table arrived anyway and there were 12 seats reserved for a very long time unoccupied. Now the food! We had Hake and what a total delight the meal was. Cooked to perfection and from such a small and busy kitchen. Really worth the trip out. Having eaten we had a nice look around all the different sections of the site dispite the changable weather and made some nice purchases. We don't understand the complaints of dead flies and dirty floor and tables but as it is a very popular cafe and the serving staff kept very busy we can only think the visit must have taken place towards the end of a very busy day!

We have been stopping here for a number of years on trips to and from Devon and it has always been excellent. The menu was quite comprehensive and offered an omelette which came with chips, salad and coleslaw. I ordered an omelette yesterday, which I later discovered was from the breakfast menu, and what arrived was exactly that, an omelette. Not a hint of garnish just a plate and an omelette. I can't complain as it said 'omelette' on the menu and an omelette arrived but a bit of garnish would have been good. The new menu seems less comprehensive and it took a long time for the food to arrive, usually it is very quick so perhaps this was just a one off blip - will try again next time and hopefully it will be back to its usual really good self

After reading good reviews I was disappointed to say the least dead flies in rhe lights and dead flies in the windows sticky tables and food all over the floor needs a good clean

Really nice cafe. Fresh tasty bread and nice size sandwiches. Really friendly stuff and very clean. Would definitely recommend! There was also wifi! much nicer than the one round the corner.

The best garden centre cafe in Somerset! Menu is very varied, full English is amazing, lovely freshly baked cakes and very good coffee all at a very acceptable price 5 stars all round

This is an excellent place to eat for a daytime meal. Very extensive menu, at very reasonable prices, and always well prepared. As part of a Garden Centre, it, unfortunately, is not open in the evening.

We go once every few weeks for a most excellent breakfast. We also go every few weeks for lunch with friends. It is very good value, and it is a lovely site with differing breeds of Chicken wandering around. The ambience is not brilliant, it is a bit like eating in a canteen, but the food and service make up for it.

good service and food plenty off choice and plenty of room .would go there again . Staff keen to serve you .

This is the first time I have been to Willowbrook for some years. The premises have been extended and the cafe itself is light and airy. It was a busy period but the tables were cleared and wiped quite quickly. A patron had dropped crisps on the floor and these did not create a good impression, being right in front of the entrance. We were warned that because it was busy there would be a one hour wait for food. We almost left at this time but it was too late to go elsewhere for lunch. The wait was about 50 minutes in the end. The food was freshly cooked, hot and well presented; it was also very tasty. We doubtless will go there again but I feel that an early lunch is probably the best option. Staff were efficient and very pleasant and polite

Called in here for lunch today 30/7/19. I had the pork and apple burger which came with nice chips, lovely coleslaw and a lovely salad. Generous portion too. Would definitely recommend the food here. The garden centre was also lovely, plants on good condition. I liked the idea of the chickens roaming around saw the lovely old pig in its sty. Ours thoroughly recommend this lovely garden centre and cafe.

We both had the vegetable crumble with salad and it was delicious - just right for a very warm day. The staff were very helpful and efficient and the café was busy with nearly all the tables being occupied. Well worth a visit.

The atmosphere was unwelcoming. Generally unclean in the café. Some of our party have visited many places like Willowbrook and were very disappointed in the quality of the food.We all agreed not to go back here again.

We often visit the Willowbrook Café for breakfast, morning refreshments, sometimes lunch, afternoon tea and never once had reason to complain. The food is always well cooked and very efficiently served by friendly staff. It is the best café in the area and very reasonably priced. The scones are cooked brilliantly and all food is well covered. Eating outside is delightful especially in fine weather and the chickens are as friendly as the staff.

Popped in here for brunch and a couple of shrubs! Coffee was brought promptly and was very good - bit of a wait for our meal but they were very busy and when it arrived it was obviously cooked fresh and was really tasty. Very good value for money in pleasant surroundings with friendly, efficient staff. Will definitely return before long!

Visited last weekend with 87yr dad, 13 yr daughter,hubby and myself.

Visited on our way down to Cornwall on a Friday lunchtime. We had a breakfast, hunters chicken and a pot of tea for 2, total £18. Great home cooked food, pleasant tearoom with nice views out to garden, and an outside seating area too. Clean toilets with baby change facilities, great service - really friendly and swift, especially given that food was cooked to order. Good quality meat (sausages and bacon) and fresh eggs. Thank you!

Today, we visited Willowbrook Garden Centre Just off the Wellington Road and while there decided to have some food Excellent quality although the service at counter was very slow in a not busy period

Went there for breakfast on way to Cornwall. Within 2 miles of m5 and well worth the detour. Although service was slightly slow, it was busy, staff were very attentive and they were advertising for staff. The breakfast was worth the wait and very good value for money. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and revisit.

We were staying at the nearby Travelodge and they recommended this Garden Centre for breakfast. It is a small family run centre with a lovely, spotlessly clean, conservatory style restaurant. The breakfast was every bit as good as we expected and the service excellent. To top it all were were able to watch the owners rare breed chickens and ducks running free outside!

Surprisingly good compared to most mediocre nursery eateries. Good food at reasonable prices tasty and freshly cooked. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Cakes are outstanding. We go every time we visit the nursery and never regret it

An excellent place for Breakfast or Lunch. Good value, mediocre service. Indoor and outdoor seating dependent on your preference and weather conditions. Part of the Willowbrook Garden Centre. Frequented by the over 60's because of the the value-for-money menu. Worth a visit.

Have eaten here several times now and have always been very happy with both food and service. Will always go back.

The breakfast here was recommended by my son as the best breakfast in the Area - and he was right. Quality produce cooked perfectly and served with a smile. I'm looking forward to trying the lunches now

My wife and I have been to Willowbrook many times,over many years,( one of our previous properties has a magnificent hedge grown from bare rootstock purchased from the garden centre). The cafe and tea room has a menu that is comprehensive and inexpensive, the staff are efficient and helpful, as are the garden centre staff. The only reason that I have not given five stars in this review is the noise level. This was particularly noticeable during our last visit when a gaggle of mature cyclists seemed incapable of conversing in anything less than a bellow. If the garden centre have not got the plant or item you require in stock they will order it and call you when it arrives, a good old fashioned service.

Called in for coffe and cake. Great value. Friendly staff and service. Food tasted good. Pleasant atmosphere and good parking

Lovely meals good choice of food we tended to go lots for an treat lovely to seat outside in the warmer weather and our grandchild loves the birds etc and to play on the green with beautiful views of the area very relaxing

Lovely home made cakes. Staff are always very welcoming and happy to help. Portions are large and good value for money.

By chance we visited here on Saturday 2nd February for Lunch...A fellow customer recommended the Guinness Steak Pie ?..Well..It was probably the best one i have ever had in that many Years....absolutely superb....With Red Cabbage and Green Beans and a choice of Potatoes...Will definitely have that again when We next visit..One of our favourite places to eat or have a Coffee....

took my sisters there for lunch last week. as usual, didnt disappoint,,, sisters had jacket potato and I had the really tasty mushroom soup. had a meal with a friend about a year ago and it was pasta with chicken , bacon and garlic....it was wonderful. cant see it on the menu anymore.,.,.,bring it back....delicious

We tried to visit this cafe earlier today, only to be rudely turned away for having the temerity to bring a (clean and quiet) spaniel puppy with us.

When the chicken and pesto mayonnaise toasted sandwich which I ordered had arrived, I found that the chicken it it was still raw on the inside. I brought thus to the attention of the waiterring staff who were very helpful and apologetic. Whilst they were rectify the problem, the chef came out of the kitchen being argumentative and raising his voice at me. Saying that the chicken was not raw and that they do not serve raw food. I then informed him that the chicken was raw and that I wasn't going to eat raw chicken, I was also very shocked by his unprofessional and aggressive attitude.

We often pop in here for a coffee as the service and staff are very pleasant. Lovely to look over the grounds, good space for the disabled.

We have been here a few times in the last couple of months. On one occasion we had Bubble and Squeak and also Fish and Chips, which were really tasty. on another we had the salmon on a bed of rice - there was far too much rice and it would have been better with less rice and something else added instead as it became hard to eat. The lattes are always great tasting and the service is always good

This is a very pleasant place for breakfast inhabited by friendly staff. The English breakfast is good value and well prepared - and there is a vegetarian option. If you are staying at the Wellington Travel Lodge, a good breakfast is only four minutes down the road, along the A38.

Lovely cooked to order Sunday breakfast. Good food and friendly helpful staff. Close to M5 and so much nicer than the services. Set in a really good garden centre so an opportunity to buy plants too.

We had breakfast here twice while staying at the Travelodge in Wellington this week and both times the food was really good, delicious, tasty and plenty of it. Staff very nice too. Highly reccommended!

An add-on to my review about 4 weeks ago. We popped in her today for lunch to find that the crockery was clean and not chipped and the cutlery was clean. Maybe the management read my review and decided to act on it? If so Thank you. All in all a much cleaner experience. Here’s to the next time.

We visited at lunchtime 16/09. The cafe was very busy. When we ordered our food they said it would be at least 30 minutes. We had our tea to drink while we waited for approximately 40 minutes, which was fine as we were happy to chat. Anyway, as always the meals were worth the wait. 1 of us had the Fish & Chips & 2 of us had Lasagne. Good size portions & very tasty. Service was polite and helpful. Would recommend.

Arrived on a weekday lunchtime and it was extremely busy, it looked like they had a birthday party in. We were told when we ordered that it was a 40 minute wait. Happy to wait as we were told before we ordered so not a problem. Ordered a ham hock pie and also a vegetable burger. The ham hock pie was full of meat and very tasty. The veggie burger came with excellent potato wedges and salad. Only criticism would.be that the veggie burger fell apart and was difficult to eat and also lacked flavour. This place scores highly due to the staff and quality of ingredients and we will be back.

A very pleasant lunch with friends. The staff are efficient and meals were well presented and hot.Service was a little slow but they were busy. They produce a good basic menu.

We come in here to eat quite often as the food is excellent, However on the last 5 or 6 visits we have noticed that the crockery and cutlery is dirty, and feels gritty(filters on dishwasher need cleaning?) yesterday our cups etc were clean but the spout of the teapot and milk jug were badly chipped. ( this harbours germs.) We also noticed a customer take his mug back to get it changed, presumably dirty. This is such a shame that it is going downhill as it’s a very pleasant place that does not at the moment deserve the Trip Advisor certificate of excellence.

This cafe has become very popular in recent times and there is sometimes a bit of a wait, however the food is always worth waiting for and is reasonably priced. The staff are friendly and helpful.

I go here often. Sometimes I stop sometimes I don't.Service is either really good or ......well not really good. The last time I went none of the staff were clearing the tables , so you had to clear your own table before sitting down. In the past there have been some really fantastic lively youngsters moving like wild fire doing a great job. Food is excellent, and atmosphere very pleasant. A great place if you want lunch or just tea.

After the hustle and crazy confusing bustle of the neighboring garden Centre we were delighted to find this one was lovely and relaxed . Friendly and helpful staff throughout. Lovely food and drinks at reasonable prices. Beautiful array of flowers, household items and fish, pet shop is brilliant. Would really recommend this one if you’re looking for a garden center in this area.

I am sitting here eating lunch and reading the megative reviews. My husband and I have been coming here for many years, when originally it was run by a husband and wife team. Every time we have had excellent food. Maybe some dishes are a little bit dearer than your average “greasy spoon” but that’s the difference, good quality food, nice staff, and good ambience. Just wish they still did their excellent Bacon Baquettes!

Turned up on a Saturday around 11 o'clock wanting to sit down for a coffee and cake. It was not particularly busy. We queued up and decided to order 3 caramel lattes, 2 slices of cake and scone with jam. The young girl who served us was clearly new and very unsure as to what she was doing (had no idea which cake was which, how to put any of it on the till or where to find the caramel). We sat down and waited for our order which was brought to us by another young girl who virtually ran to our table. She VERY quickly and rather aggressively threw our drinks and food on the table, all in a small heap.Not a word was said and she RAN off. The lattes were lukewarm and extremely small for the price of £2.40 each.My cake had been sliced ridiculously and so I was served half a slice (please see pic).When we asked where the rest of the slice was the young girl very abruptly told us "I cut it weird". With hindsight we should have left the food and drink and demanded our money back but I think we were rather too shocked to do anything. I did complain to a member of staff as we left and she said she would speak to the restaurant staff. ALL the staff in the restaurant need to be taught some basic manners and need to slow down and put a smile on their miserable faces! We paid only a small amount of £14.50 but it was a total waste of my money and wish I had continued to drive past and found somewhere to spend the £14.50. Shame !!

Recently visited for lunch, thought it was expensive ,so went for light bites.Thought the girl on till was quite abrupt. Will never have a latte again , very expensive £2.20 for a very small cup, normally wherever you go it's a tall glass, which contains at least double the amount. Also the tea was £2 a pot. So very disappointed. Probably won't visit again.

had breakfast here which was not to bad only negative was the price as opted for the larger breakfast and the husband opted for the larger vegetarian breakfast. kids bacon and sausage bap were reasonable.

we stayed at a local hotel which did not offer a cooked breakfast and opted for here as recommended by staff at the hotel.

Have been in here a few times always satisfied with service and food, whatever I've had, clean and tidy recommended

Always enjoy my meals at Willowbrook. Very comprehensive menu for small cafe. Food Good and very reasonably priced. Lovely setting. Great shame they do not open in evening. Thoroughly recommend.

Second time we dropped in at 9.0clock for breakfast and order haddock with egg only to be told after we have sat down they had no haddock so we had to re-order, we were very disappointed. why have it on the menu when you have not any in stock. l had a large English breakfast and l was not disappointed ...SUPERB...

Popped in for the first time for coffee. The member of staff who served us was miserable and abrupt, bordering on rude. She clearly didn’t want to be there! We won’t go again which is a shame as the cakes were pretty good.

I absolutely love it here. Absolutely adore the rare breed chicken that wander around outside with the ducks . Food- brilliant. Best poached eggs, perfect every time. Granary toast to die for. Toilets a very few steps outside, certainly the ladies always very clean and spacious with quick hand drier. Oooh and the staff are lovely, efficient and friendly. Try to get there once a week at least. I must ask next time if Sunday lunch is available.

If you need to go to a place for a good solid breakfast then this is the place to go to. Nothing is too much trouble with the very friendly staff. Gorgeous cakes and coffee in a great garden centre setting.

Stopped here coming back from a Minehead adult weekend and stopped here for breakfast,well I thinks it's the best move I've ever done as it was just a stunning Breakfast,Probably the best ever,try it out

We stopped for a coffee when passing by and thought it was a lovely place, quite quiet when we arrived but soon filled up. Good to find quality coffee from an independent place. Food looked good but we didn’t sample it.

We arrived enmasse on Sunday 9 children 7adults, we received excellent service and nothing was too much trouble. The food was fresh well cooked and generous portions. The cafe was spotless and all the staff were lovely even though a couple of our little ones were quite boisterous!! I would like to thank them in this day and age of making families welcome.

On our way south down m5. Got to Taunton and fancied breakfast. Searched TripAdvisor and came up with this little gem. Just 5 minutes off Junction 26. Far nicer than any service station. Staff were all very pleasant and on the ball. Full English breakfast was excellent, lovely crisp hash browns and fried bread. Lovely hot cup of tea too and in a tea pot that didn't dribble!!! Perfect ☺️ Cakes looked good for afternoon tea, may have to try these on another trip! So glad we popped in.

Since moving here a year ago l have visited at least once a week. The quality of the food is top notch. Always a positive experience. The service is great and the staff are always polite and friendly. Long may it continue.

Dropped in for breakfast this morning, noticed the price had gone up since we last went but this was balanced out by the fact that the price of the large breakfast now includes a mug of tea or coffee whereas we used to have to pay for this separately. It worked out as much better value for money. The food is of good quality, full of flavour and locally sourced
