Wilton Garden Centre Riverside Restaurant in Wiltshire

The restaurant has been completely refurbished and looks most attractive. It’s a shame the food is not . I ordered soup of the day which was apparently vegetable, but didn’t taste of anything and I sent it back because it was not hot. It came with a very very small piece of bread. I asked for a larger piece and was told by two separate waitresses that ‘it was not company policy’. The coffee was horrible too. I never write reviews but felt that as this was so bad they deserved it.

Went here today and had a small breakfast, very overpriced for what you got. It wasn’t very hot and really bad value for money. I’ve tried several meals here and out of the 6 I’ve had only one was worth paying the money for. Tea is good so I will continue to have a drink here but definitely won’t waste my money on the food again !

Unfortunately being a coeliac there are few places to have food or snacks. I know how my body reacts when I have either had gluten or cross contamination, after having a scone which I was informed was gluten free I became extremely ill a short time after, please take coeliac autoimmune disease seriously it’s not a fad for some of us, we can actually die from a flare up

very disappointed restaurent half full could not get in due to staffing problems second time this has happened anyway saved £34 on two fish and trips will now go elsewhere.

Had a very pleasant light lunch here after visiting Wilton House for the second time that week, nice airy restaurant with plenty of seating. We only wanted something light so both had two salads each for £5.95 which I thought decent value, i had a green salad and a potato salad, plenty of potatoes and a nice dressing, Mrs C had the potato salad and a spiced cauliflower and chickpea salad, decent portions and tasty, Sophy served us and was friendly and chatty, a good place to have a quick bite

Lovely and helpful staff but food is terrible. Both send our meals back, cold hips, under cooked bacon, soggy bread. All in all the food was tastesless and very disappointing. Over priced too, just under £30 for 2 coffees and two sandwiches. Won't be returning.

Went with family for lunch as we'd heard good things. Arrived early as we'd also heard it gets pretty packed and there is no booking system. The greeting on arrival was friendly and the restaurant was probably around half full. The ordering system, however, is not working. You have to select your food on the menu and then queue up at one till to place the order and this meant one of our party had to queue for almost half an hour to place the order. It appears to be just too many covers to be able to operate a system like this without creating enormous queues, which were still there when we left. When the order had been placed, the food came quickly and it was very good. The waiting staff were really helpful and friendly. The only other gripe (which together with the queuing meant a 3 star review) is the round tables, set for three, which are very small to fit all the drinks and food on, especially if you're having pots of tea with a meal.

A few of us organised an afternoon tea for a group, as a mini reunion, we booked a while before, and had to cancel a few seats, but the staff were very accommodating and helpful, the tea was lovely delicious and plentiful, we all got a take home box too! Thank you for allowing us to stay on and chat and be so welcoming. We all had a wonderful afternoon.

This is an oasis! Lovely atmosphere, lovely staff. Delicious food 😋. A cut above & a pleasant, relaxing time spent. Sharon & her team make you feel very welcome & we were running late & they still put themselves out for us. Brilliant. Thankyou.

Visited the garden centre restaurant a few weeks ago a the food was exceptionally good. Having recently been diagnosed as Coeliac it takes a while to find gluten free food and on viewing the menus the ham egg and chips is stated gluten free so this was my choice. It turned out to be an excellent choice as the gammon ham was first class and the fries eggs and piccalilli were fab. My wife’s Jacket potato was also well presented and good. Today I was really looking forward to going back for some more ham egg and chips.on a visit to the area again. Placed the order and the food and drink arrived quickly in an efficient manner with a very professional waitress. On looking at my meal I could see that the food was different. The ham was completely different to my previous visit and was a plastic salty horrible offering. Previously the ham was excellent Truly disappointing and the side salad and slaw was dry and inedible. Such a shame and a wasted journey. Can’t moan about the eggs and chips though and again my wife’s Jacket Potato was fine. Will have to think again whether to bother returning as today was truly a letdown.

This is a unique and charming restaurant. .v comfortable seating..dog friendly tables..childfriendly. fantastic salads interesting menu..and helpful professional staff..who really want your dining experience to be a great one.

Enjoyed sandwich, cake and hot chocolate in this busy cafe which was comfortable and felt up market. Food is well priced and fresh with a huge selection and something for everyone! I’d definitely return and enjoyed the atmosphere.

Have had Sunday Lunch here and many occasions and it’s always been first class. Today we had the three meat roast and coffees. The roast vegetables were hard and under cooked the potatoes and parsnips were too hard to cut with no roast about them at all. No gravy and everything was cold. Very disappointing because I don’t think it was anywhere near worth the £40 it cost.

We stopped here en route to Southampton. Lovely, bright, airy building. Outlook nice. Staff efficient, welcoming and always smiling, despite it being absolutely mind-boggling busy - how the manager at the front desk knew which tables were free and still maintained her smile is beyond me! They also looked smart with their uniform, which gave the atmosphere a bit of class. We were attended to at every turn. We were able to order at another till near where we were seated which was helpful. Food arrived in a very short space of time, considering how busy it was and was delicious. Thank you.

This was my first time to this restaurant & definitely will not be the last. The menu was very varied. I love that you can have a mixture of bite size pieces of cake, instead of one large piece. The roast gammon was delicious & tender. Not dried out. My friend had a salad. The salad menu was a bit confusing and she wasn't sure what she would end up with on her plate. But she enjoyed what she did have.

Great place although the menu has changed and not necessarily for the good. Lots of choice for the vegetarian but not much else. We visit the Garden Centre regularly so we will eat at the restaurant again once the menu has changed to include a chicken or red meat option

Between set seasonal set ups so far but there are some nice displays. The individuals working in the center are super helpful The cafe has some nice afternoon tea options, has limited but we'll sign posted allergy options and high chairs. The cafe is expensive for what it serves but venue is nice and well maintained. Staff could be more attentive

Good food and great that dogs are allowed inside. However, whether dogs are welcome or tolerated is very dependent on the member of staff, with some staff very dog friendly while others make you feel like a second class citizen. Really needs a more consistent approach and to work our which staff are more suited to front of house.

Oh dear what has happened? When it first opened the food was lovely but it now is not up to the standard you would expect for the price. Firstly the baguettes were mixed up, hot chips on one that should of had crisps, the receipt clearly showed this. My baguette was over cooked and looking very brown and the prawns inside were the most unappetising thing I have seen for a long time, they simply looked like large maggots, the smallest most tasteless prawns I have ever had. My daughters both opted for egg mayonnaise, not a filling you can go wrong with but they both disliked the taste, simply no seasoning and with your eyes closed there would be no chance you would appreciate you were eating egg. My daughter then said her Fanta was warm, that was because the bottle served was warm to the touch and the glass had no ice. To top it all off we had three wasps naturally pestering us due to having a fruit drink. Whilst wasps are completely understandable for this time of year why on earth allow the restaurant to be full of them? There are signs saying not to eat outside but every door open just means they come in. I spoke to a very personable member of staff who offered us a free drink but we could not wait to leave. Felt sorry for the hardworking staff who clearly were dealing with more than one complaint.

Unfortunately the lovely cafe is plagued with wasps. Not a nice experience. No steps in place to deter the wasps. I will return as I like the cafe, but will wait until after the wasp issue is resolved.

Keep to the scones and cake; give the meals a miss. The meals are quite expensive and underwhelming

This is just a suggestion:- Outdoor café has a great position by the river. How about removing the fence and trimming the trees and putting in glass panels to give a wonderful riverside view?

1st and last visit I ordered. Cheese and broccoli quiche ,and I specifically asked if the cheese in the quiche was stilton , .I got a resounding ohh no it will be cheddar When it arrived the quiche was stilton and cheddar .it came with coleslaw and new potato salad ,which looked liked it had been thrown on the plate It was a huge portion of each and far too much for 1 portion both the salads ,but the coleslaw especially had far too much mayonaise it was awfull £22.20 for 2 quiche and 2 teas it was a complete ripoff The management need to take a serious look at the prices and quality of food,the staff were lovely ,and the lady who took my order was very polite no issues there ,but the food was terrible ,I can still taste the greasy mayonaise 2 hours after I had barely eaten any food

First visit since lockdown and although slightly less on the menu than usual, the vegan options and cake were still available, and was enjoyed by us all. Really happy with the covid secure measures in place obviously a lot of thought gone into making customers feel as safe as possible. Will return very soon.

Visited twice since lockdown ended. As always it is very well organised and all Covid precautions in place. The staff always seem happy and helpful. Very well managed and good food.

So pleased to go there after a long time shielding.The restaurant managed its customers very well and the manager was so busy making sure that everything was in place for the protection of the customers. There was plenty of hand sanitiser and tables were being wiped down frequently.There were plenty of items, both light bites and meals to choose from and the table servers were very kind and patient.Thank you Blue Diamond. It was lovely to visit again after such a long time.

Just had lunch today on their first day re-opening after lockdown.We felt so safe and looked after- great social distancing,but still a relaxed, personal and peaceful lunch.From first arriving, where Mark the manager,(ever the gracious host),led us to our riverside table, to Leanne, our waitress, who visited our table several times allowing us to order different courses - we felt completely spoiled.Delicious new menu, fresh baked baguettes with plenty of filling and then a cream tea.Could not have been a better first lunch out after lockdown. Thank you !

Really love the Garden Centre but such a shame as regards the cafe. All food is over priced and very bad quality. Ordered a prawn sandwich which was inedible because it was dripping with very runny sauce.Won't be going there again!

I regularly go to see family in Salisbury and we always visit the restaurant in the garden centre. My family are all either vegetarian or dairy free but we always find something nice for lunch with amazing desserts and cakes with a choice of dairy free milk for our tea. The staff are friendly and always helpful with our menu choices. There is also a play area for small children which keeps my 18 month old grandson happy. Definately worth a visit

We enjoy visiting the Riverside Restaurant. It is far superior to the Blue Diamond garden centre in Gillingham. Friendly and efficient staff always ready to help. The food is good and the menus clear to read.My only comment would be more veggie/vegan options. Well done to the management your staff clearly enjoy working for you.

This is an ideal cafe if you want a snack and a drink. However unless it is very quiet then who have to wait rather a long time to get your food if it has to be ordered. Another irritation is having to pay extra for ketchup and other such condiments. Especially as food not cheap in first place! However for what it is we have never been disappointed in the quality of the food.

Who ever thought of these love them crunchy ..also the iceberg salad wedges with lots of blue cheese dressing and little chunks of tomatoes and bacon so satisfying...my husband always gets the steakhouse burger so big with caramelized onions and cheddar what’s not to love just oozing with a special mayo ... always a busy place .. and the menu is way more interesting then what we picked ..

I have not had a problem before on my visits,but on this occasion the food was dreadful,I ordered the Jacket potato with a prawn sauce,the Jacket potato was so hard a d burnt I couldn't get my knife through it,so I took it back and got another one this was also the same,I didn't want to complain again and there was a queue and also my friend was eating so she would of had to wait again.

Tuvimos un almuerzo agradable aquí hoy, buen menú y excelente café, pero aún no puedo creer que me pidieron que pagara 25 p por ketchup (¡lo que rechacé)! Este enfoque de centavo al servicio al cliente ha significado que he dado una calificación baja, ya que esto es realmente IMO inaceptable.

tan limpias y muy populares comidas ligeras encantadoras tuve Brie y cranbury Toastie y ensalada y papas fritas hay pasteles encantadores ext muy amables y serviciales buenos para personas en sillas de ruedas Los baños están afuera al lado del café bilding El centro de jardinería está lleno de golosinas y diversión muchos regalos y regalos navideños, así como plantas no baratas. . . llame y eche un vistazo y cuppa y más

This is just a basic cafe, nothing special at all, but looking at the prices they obviously think it is. We ordered soup and a ploughmans, which the ploughmans was £9.95, he started by asking if we wanted coleslaw which would be an extra £1.15 (approx). I was thinking every ploughmans I have ever had comes with coleslaw. Well I wish I had taken a photo of it when it arrived. Imagine a side salad that you get with a sandwich, it had less than a leaf of iceberg lettuce, 1 SLICE of tomato, 1 SLICE of cucumber, a small pot of pickle, and a pickled onion. It did have a few pieces of ham and cheese, but no coleslaw, and I have never seen such a poor excuse for a ploughmans in my life. Oh and it was served with a ciabatta! The soup was ok but just tasted like a tin of Heinz. I suggest the manager goes to other restaurants to see how it's done properly. Needless to say we will never go back.

We went to warners at cricket st Thomas for a needy break after a traumatic year and theydidnt disappoint. Hotel was good , grounds super, food great and entertainment excellent. Would recommend a break like this to anyone.

I met a friend here for lunch. It was a very warm day so, I decided to have a salad which was a great choice. Sat at a table by the river. Excellent service. Great little place for lunch.

Siempre nos detenemos para comer y echar un vistazo a este encantador centro de jardinería y restaurante.

£5.95 for a chicken tikka wrap. Better description would be salad wrap with a chicken tikka sauce. Nice enough but I would like some chicken in my wrap. Don't think I will be back when there are so many other places nearby.

good selection of food, catered for most needs it was very busy, still offered a good service, friendly staff

Un agradable paseo por el centro de jardinería hasta la cafetería, que cuenta con asientos al aire libre para los días cálidos. Sin embargo, en la ocasión que visité, me tomó 10 minutos hacer cola antes de que finalmente recibiera dos tazas de café bastante indiferente. . . y eso fue con solo 2 clientes en la cola frente a mí. Los precios eran bastante elevados también. ¡Me parece que la gerencia debería auditar la experiencia del cliente aquí y hacer algunos cambios!

We had not been to Wilton Garden Centre before and decided to give it a try. While there was a good selection of plants and at reasonable prices I cannot say the same for the Restaurant. As I was busy looking at plants my husband said he would get a coffee and cake and wait for me sitting outside the restaurant - I said I would join him when I had finished. After choosing several plants I decided to get a drink and then join him. I asked for a glass of wine only to be told that I couldn't have an alcoholic drink unless I was eating a "knife and fork meal". I said that my husband was sitting outside and I wanted to join him and have a glass of wine in the sunshine but the surly jobs-worth man serving wouldn't budge from his decision. I joined my husband and had to sit there without a drink while he finished his coffee and cake. It's a shame really as I thought they would have welcomed the trade as it wasn't exactly packed and I probably would of ended up having a couple of glasses of wine as it was a pleasant afternoon sitting outside. Needless to say we won't be going back.

Llegó al centro de jardinería para echar un vistazo alrededor y una taza de té y pastel. Aprecio que tiene que haber un margen de beneficio en la comida, pero casi 4. 00 para una rebanada de pastel es repugnante. No está pagando por un servicio al cliente excepcional o por un encantador restaurante, todo es bastante básico.

Worst value for money I think I’ve ever experienced, forgotten quality and gone for profit!!! I’ve no intention of ever going back!!!

Very cold day, but very warm inside, staff polite and helpful, tables all clean as was the toilets. Big selection of cakes and snacks, worth a visit.

Decidimos visitar el centro de jardinería ya que es uno de nuestros favoritos. No he estado en el café antes, así que decidí ir a tomar un café y un pastel, ¡qué error! He tomado café en muchos lugares y debo decir que este debe ser uno de los peores que he tenido al instante. Un certificado de entrenamiento de barista ocupa un lugar destacado detrás del mostrador, pero me gustaría saber qué tipo de entrenamiento han tenido. La chica que hizo nuestro café preparó la leche con vapor a la temperatura de lava y luego, literalmente, vertió un trago de café en cada jarra, no se tomó ninguna precaución para hacer un café con leche adecuado y el café era tan lácteo que ni siquiera se podía probar el café. . Realmente no creo que esta chica haya tenido ningún tipo de entrenamiento. Después de mirar las tartas, me negué a participar, parecían horribles producidas en masa y poco apetecibles. Como yo mismo las hacía, siempre buscaba algo sabroso y diferente, pero éstas no eran buenas, mi esposo tenía una tarta tipo flapjack de caramelo y el caramelo era muy espeso. Y dulce le hizo sentirse enfermo. Es realmente decepcionante que esta cafetería sea tan mala, es un hermoso centro de jardinería y podría ser mucho mejor.

Este lugar es horrible y no recomendado. Hay una gran cantidad de comprados en pasteles / rebanadas para elegir. Tuve un bollo de queso y fue absolutamente horrible. Fue seco y desmenuzable (no de buena manera) y sin sabor. El único 'queso' era una pequeña pizca en la parte superior.

Puedo recomendar calurosamente la comida y el servicio en el restaurante Wilton Garden Center Riverside. La comida es deliciosa, y aunque la elección es limitada en comparación con un restaurante más grande, para un lugar pequeño la elección es buena, bien cocinada y bien presentada. También tienen una gran variedad de tartas caseras muy tentadoras en las que se puede comer, o si están demasiado llenas, quítelas. El servicio es cálido y agradable, el ambiente acogedor y rodeado de grandes exposiciones de plantas y flores. ¿Qué más se puede pedir?

Nice garden centre with an equally good restaurant where we had a coffee and a snack. Prices are reasonable. Friendly service.

I do not live in Wiltshire but if in the area always take a look as they have a good selection of pots & plants. The cafe has good food as well and is worth incorporating during a visit.

This has been our annual stop off on our way home from New Wine each year and this year certainly lived up to our expectations! We were earlier than normal so we both had the full English breakfast. It was excellent value for money, with really tasty ingredients that were well-cooked and included a side order of toast with preserve and a hot drink of tea or filter coffee. There was a lovely friendly chap on the till who made us feel very welcome. All in all, a very enjoyable, refreshing visit.

great place for tea coffees and cak e we sat out side lots of home make cakes everthing look really nice

Ordered a baked potato for lunch - it was grey on the inside and burnt on the bottom. The roof of my mouth was also burnt!

From the roadway Wilton Garden Centre does not look very big, but when you go in you might be surprised how large it is. My wife and I were looking for some garden furniture and whilst we were there popped into the Riverside Restaurant.

Somewhere nice to relax whilst shopping. Outside seating is more pleasant, overlooking the plants, as inside is a little gloomy and stuffy but the food is excellent with a good choice of sweet and savoury items all at a fair price. Toasted sandwiches are made with artisan bread and come with a salad garnish and a side of crisps, good value at less than £5.

We hadn't visited here in a long time and had been looking forward to going.

My first visit to the restaurant for several years.Decor its very tired with no facelift since last visit. More cafe than restaurant although they do serve meals. You have to queue to order at the counter - the queue was long and service was slow with only two people serving and, in fairness, doing their best. There were only a few tables available and all were messy from previous occupants - we had to ask for a table to be cleaned. Only had coffee and a chocolate muffin. The coffee was not great and the muffin almost tasteless and I thought very over priced.Never again.The garden centre itself is great though.

Sorry to say that this place is way overpriced!..A garden centre coffee shop/restaurant should not be so expensive.The cake was homemade but sad to say, not good😮

This place used to have tap water in a jug on the table for people to help themselves, so today queuing up they have changed the cafe around so you can help yourself to certain cakes on way to the tills. So bought cakes and hot drinks and ordered tea cake/ hot foods. As I sit down and go back up to get the water for my children, none there anymore.

Not been for a while since Grandaughter was small, decided to have early lunch before looking at plants. Not long after 11am and very busy, ordered childrens beans on toast for £4.75! Grandaughter only 2 and a half and whilst it might have been reasonable for an older child could have done with a toddler portion and price! Whole meal of green tea, fizzy drink, carton of juice 2 x prawn ciabatta + 2 pots of coleslaw @ £1 each and childrens beans on toast came to just short of £27 !

We had traveled from Bristol to visit a relative in hospital. Finding that our hunger was greater than we thought we realized that we weren't going to manage to get home before a bit of grub was required. Luckily we found Wilton Garden Centre Riverside Restaurant. It was very close to closing time but the staff still welcomed us and made us some lovely sandwiches that certainly filled a hole. Our thanks go to you all.

Visited this café recently and had a light lunch with cake afterwards. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and our food was of good quality and very tasty. All the food on the menu is reasonably priced and we will definitely be returning really soon :-)

Excellent coffee and service today. Only one man serving and so cheerful in spite of long queue! He never looked harassed but We felt he could have done with some assistance.. where was everyone been before and three serving

The Wilton Garden Centre cafe is improving (albeit slowly) year on year serving good quality honest food. It's now a cut above the Wilton Shopping village restaurant in my opinion. Helped by the friendly and efficient male floor manager who runs a tight ship at the weekends when it can get very busy. You can't book tables so you have to be patient at peak times, there is an outdoor overspill area which is only really a summer option as it isn't covered. Prices are good value with light bite breakfasts through to a delicious specials menu; I had lasagne/garlic bread and side salad which was excellent from the Specials menu. Our kids had baked potatoes and all were well fed. They have some phenomenal cakes which are cut generously so careful what you order your main otherwise you will be loosening a button or two on your belt in order to make space for pudding!!! Keep up the good work!

Lovely garden centre and restaurant. We called in for a drink and came out with a new set of garden furniture. The coffee and cakes were brilliant. Such good cakes and wonderful staff.

We called in at a lunch time en route to a friend and just passing. A pleasant easy lunch. It is set at the rear of the Garden Centre in a pleasant large wooden building.

A nice place to sit and enjoy a nice Sunday breakfast combined with exploring the garden centre and shop. Lots...

Quick coffee stop on the way to Southampton. So many great garden centres around that are excellent for coffee but...

Stopped for lunch on the way back from Salisbury with friends. Two of us had egg & cress ciabatta. One...

Primera vez aquí, nos decidimos por un café y comida, pero no me di cuenta de que necesita una segunda hipoteca para pagar. Es muy, muy caro, no muy buenas.

Compañero y yo tomamos una copa y una tarta después de pasear por el jardín. Enormes trozos de pastel! Y un sabor delicioso.

Called in on our journey to the south downs. A quaint cafe/restaurant but with delicious cakes and snacks. Staff very friendly and also a beautiful area to sit outside.

Dropped in for tea and cake after visiting at the hospital. We got there shortly before closing and all the cakes had been cling-filmed for the night. Lady serving didn't bat an eyebrow but was very patient and helpful. Terrific range of cakes - but we decided to have a cream tea. Scones, cream, jam and a nice hot cup of coffee just what was needed. Then, of course, the chance to look at all the plants. Brilliant. Thanks. We'll be back.

We sat by the river and had coffee and a cake before visiting the garden centre. The sun was shining and it was an idilic spot to be, would have been happy there all day. Nice coffe and a fine selection of cakes some gluten free. Having now read other reviews I would have possibly avoided this place. Lucky for us I didn't!

My wife is the gardener and she loved this place. It is packed with loads of good quality plants and stuff for the garden. She was very happy with the plants shen bought and the willow oberlisks two for the price of one (for her clematis plants) WE will be going back soon and she cant wait

Ordered a cheese ploughman's for dinner turned up with ham (I wanted it vegetarian) there was one lettuce leaf a quarter tomato and few other little bits of salad it was very small a rabbit would have eaten it in a couple of minutes.No one asked us how the meal was.

Stopped off here on our way home to cornwall....had a lovely light lunch in the riverside restuarant well cooked nicely presented sensibly priced.Staff were very efficient polite and friendly would recommend and will return.

Very busy but friendly atmosphere. Family friendly Very varied menu for adults and children. Delicious cakes, sandwiches, and hot meals available.

Have had the most perfect Breakfast here twice now ,Excellent ,with pot of Tea and Toast Very friendly polite Staff ,can't fault it ,Will be back soon

Visited the garden centre and decided to have lunch in the cafe. Not a lot of choice - sandwiches, toasted sandwiches or jacket potatoes were all that seemed to be on offer. Quality of the food was just about ok and the service average. Prices were a bit on the expensive side for what we had - jacket potatoe with chilli con carne and a small salad for over £6!!! Don't think I could recommend or would return.

Well kept garden centre with a generous assortment of plants and equipment. Apart from the fish department there is also a excellent cafe that also caters for children.All the staff are friendly and helpful.

Decided on a lovely snack yesterday (Sunday) around 11.30. Th sun was shining so the cafeteria staff had opened the side doors. It was too cold to sit out anyway and that meant that anyone wanting to eat inside had a cold draught around them. I hate being cold! Anyway, my husband ordered coffee and cake which was delivered immediately, whereas I ordered a toasted sandwich and tea. Well it got to the point of "Have they forgotten my order" as we waited For it to come to our table, and my husband had already eaten his cake and was ready to leave. I did have my tea though.....I mean cup of dust! It was the most dreadful grey coloured tea I have ever had and that includes value brands. The sandwich was overcooked and basic. The thinnest slices of bread which didn't even fit the tiny filling properly. I actually wanted a sausage roll, but at £3.95 each, I changed my mind!!! The most overpriced cafe in the land for the most basic and cheap foods served. Staff nice but tooo damn slow! Food and drink ridiculously expensive. Never again, and for those of you who think otherwise, you obviously have more money than sense.

I ordered a toasted sandwich and a latte. I asked if I could have my sandwich well toasted and I was told, no problem. Firstly, the tide was out on my latte which was annoying and secondly when my sandwich arrived it was hardly toasted, let alone well toasted!

Came out here with my Mum for lunch on a rainy day this week, I had a toasted cheese & pineapple sandwich.. lovely bread, with a little salad garnish and a few crisps. It does tend to get busy round lunch time so getting there earlier is better. The man serving was very pleasant and helpful.The garden centre is great, and the plants are well looked after, would definitely have lunch there again.

For a relaxed mid morning stop with my elderly mum this is an easy option. Free parking, all on the flat, plenty of space between tables, good selection of drinks and different cakes, scones, snacks. Staff also friendly. If raining be prepared to get a bit wet as towards the bottom of the garden centre but in sunshine this adds to the atmosphere as you are surrounded by Rose bushes, fab scents and lots of butterflies.

Great service and 10% off and free delivery! Such lovely staff and very helpful and knowledgableHighly recommend

This is just a basic garden centre. Nothing special. The restaurant is outside the main building and a bit dismal. Could do with a makeover. What else can I say.

The entrance way is always a mass of beautifully displayed potted plants , leading to a vast area of pathways full of all the types of plants for all seasons and tastes. Fountains, paving, trellis, arbours all set out to give gardeners ideas. There is an excellent tea room for light meals and delicious cakes and cream teas. The food can be eaten inside our outside. For garden furniture, household wear, clothing, gift ideas, soaps, stationary, DVD films, books from children's , cookery, history to gardening there are in an enormous, long building. Head to the tills for gardening equipment, bird foods, feeders, sweets, icecream and much more!

A great place to visit for a snack or meal. Very tasty bread used for sandwiches and a great selection of loose leaf teas served in pots. Plenty of outdoor seating. Agree with previous comments about cakes and sweets selection a little pricey but always delicious. Fantastic garden centre too. Gents loo could do with a smarten up.

Wonderful setting by the river & the aurora of the plants. Very friendly & very good food presented well defiantly worth a visit

We come here quite often, and the Manager and Assistant Manager and all the team are always so genuinely welcoming.Been here at various times, morning, Lunchtime and Afternoon. We have tried a variety of the meals on offer, and they are always very tasty and filling.I do enjoy treating myself to a slice of cake now and again. maybe cake is a little on the pricey side, but you certainly get a good size slice.

We find ourselves passing through Wilton a lunch time from time to time, this garden centre provides a convenient place for a light lunch, it is not going to set the world on fire but it is above average and reasonably efficient, this staff on our recent visits have all been pleasant. Cakes and tray bakes are tasty. We use it because it is convenient but would not make a special journey.

Was on a bike ride of Salisbury whilst camping locally and stopped here for a coffee. Asked if we could bring cycles in and we were felt most welcome. Was a fantastic cafe in riverside overlooking the river. lovely garden centre and very pleasant staff. I speak as I find but couldn't fault the cafe or garden centre. Will return for better look around without the bike!!

The cafe was fairly busy for a Friday morning. We had to que for coffee and cake. What a disappointment! The cakes although home made, were dry and stale! The coffee was ok but even the replacement cakes were poor. All kept in a chiller which dries them out! The restaurant is a bit jaded, not up Blue Diamonds usual standard! And the toilets were dreadful! Definitely one to miss......

You will only eat here if you are hungry and need plants. Waiting staff friendly but no incentive to go the extra mile. Improvement is needed. The management should be addressing the reviews that do not impress!

Popped in for a late lunch on our way home from Salisbury today. The restaurant looks a bit tired but the staff were friendly and the jacket potatoes we had were fine.Afterwards, I used the disabled toilets. I think if I had gone in before eating we would have gone somewhere else. The floor and around the toilet base was filthy. It looked like it hadn't had a good clean in a long time. See photos taken.We will not be returning.

We stopped here for coffee and cake and wished we hadn't. My butterscotch cake was stale/dry. Swapped for a piece of coffee & walnut as had to make initial cut so should be fresh. Mmmm if this was a sponge it obviously hadn't seen moisture for a while. Why do you keep sponge cakes in a refrigerated cabinet. It makes them dry and hard.

Lovely setting outside with the river running past it but the inside is dated and grubby and the food is terrible! It's probably ok for a cup of tea by the river but that's about it.

This is a café/restaurant which provides a good range of meals and snacks including some lovely gluten free cakes. Plenty of seating both inside and out (in the garden centre) alongside the river Wyle. Good service with free top up of coffee!
