Wilton Garden Centre Riverside Restaurant in Wiltshire

First class food and very helpful and friendly staff . Fully recommend to anyone looking for a top breakfast with all the trimmings.

Tea for three with only 1 teabag in a large teapot ?

Lovely new cafe. Just stopped in for a cappuccino so can't comment on the food.

Popped into Wilton Garden Centre just outside of Salisbury for a coffee and a bite to eat. Large café/restaurant with waiter/waitress service. Quite a large garden centre offering the usual array of plants and garden furniture.

A very nice and clean place with very nice and attentive people. Thanks to Scarlette, we ate very well since she knows Spanish and therefore we were able to enjoy a great meal. Thank you.

Thank you Scarlette, you are a wonderful, professional and charming person. I hope to continue finding people like you, with your sympathy, joy and desire to learn and help others. A hug from the Spaniards who have eaten very well thanks to you.

It was very busy but quick service Lovely coffee/ hot chocolates and fresh cream cakes 👍🏻

Always helpful staff and excellent food.

This is obviously a popular meeting place for people. Although the atmosphere is good and the staff pleasant, my food left a lot to be desired. The "homemade sausage roll" was awful, tasteless, anaemic with very greasy pastry. I left most of it. Salad boring to say the least with no dressing. Leaves and cucumber. However the friend I was with said her quiche was good!

A beautiful garden centre with the freshest display of plants I've seen in a long time. Excellent busy restaurant with great service despite the number of diners.

Went in for one modest gardening item, ended up with about 10 things in my basket, including some sale things and 3 irresistible articles of clothing. Hey ho, that's the way it goes 😁. Enjoyed tea & cake in the very busy café too.

The staff were very welcoming and the restaurant was very clean. The food was very good but a bit expensive.

A lovely spot to stop for lunch and a drink! The cakes and pastries are incredible and we always have a tough time choosing what to go for!

Not the best Blue Diamond garden centre that we have visited, two of the pies had to be sent back as they were cold, there were 4 of us. The staff were nice and friendly and the garden centre was well stocked, there were plenty of clothes for the ladies and they bought some items. No clothes for men except hats and belts, We enjoyed our visit. Not sure that we will be going back when Gillingham is closer and a bit better stocked

Amazing Sunday lunch. Better than anything we have had recently. Highly recommended. Thank you

Nice Cafe/Restaurant within the garden centre. Food was nice and staff attentive. Would definitely go back.

Had a lovely afternoon tea here. Very high quality of food, staff very helpful and friendly. Nice and clean.

Love this place for lunch. Bright airy and good food. Staff friendly. Would highly recommend.

Well stocked garden centre, the restaurant is great, with a large selection of cakes

Pricey and got my wifes order wrong. We both had about 8 chips each on a main meal!.

Ideal place to stop on a long journey. Modern,clean surroundings. Unfortunately no gluten free choices

Excellent exerience well worth the visit.

Having been to the restaurant before for a full English breakfast, I was mindful to order an extra portion of baked beans because 8 beans in an egg cup just doesn't cut it for me. It also seems pretty tight to offer just one slice of bacon where most other establishments offer at least two.

You cannot fail to get good food and drinks here . The cafe itself is beautiful and then you can buy your plants afterwards!

Really nice well stocked, big garden centre and the restaurant is fantastic, good varied menu at reasonable prices with great staff

Only have had coffee and cake. Reasonable selection of cake, coffee good. Unfortunately the serving system means that after paying you take your cake to your table and wait what seems like forever for your coffee to arrive, by the time coffee arrives you've eaten the cake, lol. Seating arrangement means you need to know your table number when ordering and the numbers aren't easily seen. A difficulty system if on your own.

An excellent restaurant and wonderful helpful polite staff. The food is extremely good. Some other variations on the victoria sandwich and coffee and walnut cake would be a bonus.

Got just what I needed thank you

Just remember its a canteen, not a cafe.

Wee bit disappointed today, found out after sitting down with a scone that the jam costs extra (after queuing) then served tea in cups that are visibly dirty, have been before and had an ok experience, to be honest the design of the till doesn’t account at all for business and peak hours, but quite disappointed unfortunately

Very expensive. Huge waits at one person till. Getting a refill coffee or tea huge waits in long queues. High ceiling so sounds loud. Lovely looking but not like the old place.

Great afternoon tea, loads of variety - quick efficient service.

Can be a pain queueing for service sometimes.

Excellent, restaurant, vast collection of plants, & garden eqipment

Lovely garden centre, plenty of parking, nice plants although not the cheapest. Cafe well organised, clean and quite large, surrounded by trees. Not what you expect from the road frontage, definitely try it!

All the cakes are always so delicious and good choices of food. Best Garden centre Cafe.

Took mum in law for high tea. Fantastic birthday . Delightful array of sandwiches and cakes. Lovely brands of tea, awesome service. Can't recommend highly enough. Thank you

Good place to visit @ Salisbury.

Fantastic garden centre and cafe with a lovely sunny outdoor seating area. Dog friendly. Huge variety of cakes, afternoon tea and drinks. The garden centre has an excellent collection of high quality plants too.

We really like coming here, it is very popular though so you may have to wait for a table but it is definitely worth it. I haven't indulged myself, but the cakes always look fantastic!

Very busy but organised. Great food and drink available. Sit outside in the sun and enjoy a coffee

Awesome place for breakfast or lunch. A huge selection of cakes to choose from.

Always worth popping in. Nice quiche and homemade sausage roll.

Large choice of plants and gifts but can be pricey.

Ordered 2x jacket potatoes with chickpea and spinach curry. Arrived in minutes, almost cold and tasted 'tangy' - on the turn. Took back and offered replacement: requested jacket potato and tuna and a Bombay potato scotch egg. Both were also awful. Jacket potato skin so tough - as if been sitting all day on a hot plate; tuna dry - supposed to be lemon and herb?! The veggie scotch egg was inedible - like it was burnt or bad oil used. When complained, no offer of refund. Did give 2 free coffees but no recompense on the most awful food ever. Would never return.

Go here a lot but very busy could do with more than one till as that's what causes the queues

Very good . Very helpful in helping us choose fish 🐟

Super garden centre and a lovely café. Lovely cuppa in traditional china teapot. Leaving does feel a bit like navigating IKEA, with the path to the exit meandering through most of the store.

I swear the Millionaire Shortbread must have Cocaine in it or something as I just can't get enough of it! Nice staff, friendly service, even when very busy. Did I mention the Millionaire Shortbread? Om nom nom. Excuse me while I go and get another slice.

Unfortunately, the atmosphere was spoiled by 3 barking dogs in the restaurant for almost an hour. But the food was fabulous and the service exceptional.

Good quick service for a late lunch , ended up eating desert as it looked and tasted great.

Loved the option for small cakes and coffee as we walked in, and the meals looked incredible. Lots of freshly baked goodies to choose from. Would just like to see a couple more gluten free options as so many people now struggle with that particular diet. However, would highly recommend; service very smooth and lots of staff to keep things running well.

Staff are generally fantastic, shoutout to the lady on the door we come in with Reggie (white terrier). They do a fantastic breakfast too (at a price!) And food generally nice if on pricey side , The only letdown is the cakes the two I had lemon loaf and Dorset apple have been very dry and overpriced, stick to the food and coffee and we recommend.

I actually visited the garden centre (not the cafe) where an awful lot of plants seem very neglected as far as watering is concerned, what is a shame.

Absolutely love this place. Very busy though. Service is wonderful, polite and professional. Fabulous menu and food is delicious. Fruit teas and cakes are gorgeous. Always enjoy our time here and walking around the gorgeous garden center. Highly recommend.

Great coffee. I opted for a cheese scone with cream cheese and chilli jam, perfect for a snack. There is plenty of space to sit and put the world to rights.

Great Sunday breakfast served by the most friendly and helpful staff. We will be back soon.

Cream tea, scones were freshly made amd still warm. Good quality branded jams and clotted cream.

Amazing service and food and a really nice atmosphere. Get here early as it gets busy! Lots of parking and you can pop into the garden centre. The cakes can be taken home and are delicious. We all had full English breakfasts that were delicious.

Wonderful food and polite friendly staff in a very pleasant pretty atmosphere! In the warmer weather, sit out on the patio.

Typical Garden Centre. A well stocked Garden Centre. The produce is good and so are the prices.

Not for the first time we visited Wilton Garden Centre nor the cafe/restaurant but this time it hit everything you expect from a well run eatery and garden centre. We entered the restaurant first and was greeted by a very pleasant lady who guided us politely and professionally to a table of our choice and with a series of well written menus that covered an expansive list of selections, we made our choice in a pleasant, clean, and tidy environment. Ordering was simple and made again to a most pleasant person who made it very clear what the process was for taking the order, payment and delivery to our table (remember your number before joining the queue). The serving staff brought and served our meal in an extremely professional manner and to be fair was one of the best lunches we have had even though it was at a higher price than others we have used it was value for money. Leaving was hard as all of it was really pleasant but garden products was the main reason for the visit and even though some of the areas were empty (time of year) there was plenty to view and purchase including wild bird food (which was on our list). This is one of the better centres to visit with a polite and knowledgeable staff that are only too pleased to help you and I cannot recommend it enough. Fantastic.

Good quality products and food! The service has not improved in the new facility. The notices at the entry point are confusing and the servery could be better organised!

Very popular. Wonderful cakes. Good food. Helpful friendly staff. Bit pricey but worth a visit but expect to queue to make your order

Super place to have lunch, tea, ect ect... Pooch friendly tables indoors and at front. Delicious fresh food, plenty Gluten Free options. Looked after by friendly helpful staff. Only criticism More disabled car spaces please..

Very clean, staff helpful and efficient. Maybe a little on the pricey side for a lunch, but would go again.

Great place we had breakfast. It was fresh and delicious. My friend had a vegan breakfast, which she loved.We arrived at 9.30. It started the get much busier at 10. Everywhere was clean and all the food looked delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Soup was very good the bread roll however was a little over done

One of our favourite stops and extremely dog friendly.

Good value for money, nice atmosphere, friendly service

Gem of a place. Food and service is great. Staff are friendly. Very busy at lunch time. Shows how popular the place is.

I went to the garden centre specifically to meet my sisters in the café. Lovely selection of cakes and drinks. Plenty of seating, they even have tables for guests who bring dogs. Toilets are nice and clean.

Wow, what a difference from the old cafe. This one has ample room, so well organised, food and drinks came very quickly and staff very attentive and efficient. Well well worth a visit to see how running a busy cafe should be done.

Lovely place to relax service very good food Lovely

Got l9vley plants and gifts. Staff very helpful and friendly. Worth a visit

Popped in whilst visiting the garden centre and had the roast, very nice it was too!

Amazing selection of cakes. The place really has a buzz about it.

A lovely place to eat. However busy there always seems to be a vacant sitting somewhere. Food is basic but good. There is an area for doggy people as you go in the main entrance.

Love going here for breakfast, and the plants are fabulous, the Christmas decorations are stunning this year.

Good food, good value, nice atmosphere, happy service, excellent!

Wonderful place, a real treat. A little more expensive but definitely worth it and a great find.

Great place to visit, to have lunch or snacks. Just the thing after walk and shop in the garden section, or before.recommend a visit, good food ,friendly staff. I'll give it five.

What a find, friend suggested this place and had such a lovely visit. Staff so nice, coffee people and plants really wonderfulxxxx

This is a really popular eating establishment if our experience was anything to go by. There were plenty of people looking for something to eat and the staff were brilliant. They were clearly working at full stretch, yet remained cheerful and polite. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. In addition there is the garden center shop to browse as well. A very enjoyable experience.

not a bad place to stop for a quick release and a coffee... 👍

Loved it, loved the food the choices and not over expensive for the portions

Hadn't realised it had been completely redone. We had been years ago and had avoided it ever since, until someone mentioned it had improved. What an improvement! Lovely inside, great menu, and the cakes and pastries looked good. Had a lovely meal, and we'll definitely be back.

Wow and wow, I haven't been here since the coffee shop was in the old wooden shed. What a difference, very nice, tons of room and great coffee and scones, Top marks

Great food, especially cakes. The caramel shortbread is one of the best I have had

Lots to look at, and we enjoyed a very nice lunch.

We came to the restaurant yesterday afternoon and decided to have a jacket potato with cheese and beans and as my mum said "you wouldn't feed that to a pig" and she never complains about anything.The jackets were disgusting black and burnt we couldn't even cut them.I sent mine back and the one they replaced it with was even worse.I would expect this from a greasy spoon but not a restaurant where usually standards are high.We won't return. My mum was treating us which made me even more angry as she can't afford to throw her money away on rubbish.!!!

Popped in for a drink and a cake after a walk with friends. It was very pleasant and relaxing for the first visit after the refurbishment. A place to visit soon not later.

Really friendly and helpful staff

Have visited the cafe a few times but mostly for coffee and cake but stopped for lunch for the first time today. Really disappointed with our visit compared to previous times. Prawns in my partners sandwich were rubbery. Our child's sandwich was tiny, not buttered and just a slice of partly dried cheese between 2 slices of dry bread. Egg mayo was tastless and not seasoned. Ordered a side of cheesy chips (which we had to ask for as we're forgotten) and they were just inedible. Soggy and raw on the inside. We tried to find a member of staff to complain to but they had all suddenly disappeared. Okay venue for coffee and cake but would not recommend the lunch menu and will not be returning.

They have a great selection of cakes and their fridge selction was outstanding .

Maze to get to and from anywhere..no ground staff but till staff eager to assist once located...meal was good value and excellent...very expensive items though

The makeover is very impressive. Made very welcome.

Very nice place for afternoon tea BUT it's very expensive!

Very welcoming place & the service & food were Excellent...

Nice spacious restaurant, as a dog owner I was particularly impressed with the dog priority section near the entrance. The food was great, I had the philly cheesesteak and as someone who has lived in Philadelphia I can say it was the nearest I have had in the UK to the real thing. Having a lot of space inside and out means you don't feel crowded and the noise level was ok. The cakes were a particular feature and the mezze cake selection with coffee is a great option if you want to try a few different cakes.
