Winthrop Gardens Cafe in Rotherham

Went to the Open Day today with our 3 little dogs and they were raising money for St.Alban's school. What a lovely day! Some of the children had made cakes and they all looked delicious but we couldn't manage them all!!! Everyone seemed to be enjoying the pleasant company of quite a few locals and the sunshine made it a particularly special day. Gnomes were up for adoption too - great fun!

this was a birthday present delivered yesterday it looked good nicely presented plenty in it and I really enjoyed

Had a really lovely, relaxed day at Winthrop Gardens with friends for Afternoon Tea. This was hosted by lovely Anna who was very entertaining and "comical". The "Tea" was great, plenty of varied sandwiches, mini quiches and scones - still warm with Jam and clotted cream, tiny cakes and plenty of Tea, all served in china cups. It is really worth a visit. It gives you a chance to wear "your fancy hats". There was a quiz re horse racing theme. A really great afternoon.

Winthrop gardens provides a good half way stop if taking a circular walk of Wickersley in addition to being a place to meet up with friend and taking out elderly relatives. The food is good value for money and the service is delivered by warm hearted volunteers. It’s very leisurely so you can’t be in a rush. Their bistro events are good value and the fact you can take your own makes it very appealing. If you are local a good place to consider. Don’t go to late in the day as the delicious cakes may already have been eaten.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff only too pleased to help. Sensory gardens beautifully looked after by volunteers . Tea and cakes served in the cafe not too be missed

Along with a group of friends, we ate at Winthrop Gardens Greek night and what a brilliant time we had! Small and cosy, the food was excellent, the service attentive and prompt and the host, Anna gave us a potted history of the gardens. So enjoyable. We made new friends and were able to look round the lovely gardens after our meal. We will be back for the intriguingly entitled Yorkshire night. Watch this space....

Had a great night at one of the regular themed nights. Good value good well cooked and a really friendly atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

We visited Winthrop Gardens and cafe today and found this very small place to be an hidden gem. Well kept gardens by an army of volunteers with a cafe with tea and cakes This was also run by volunteers and the proceeds going to a worthwhile charity

We discovered this place while on a walk but it only opens Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday as it is volunteer run. We picked up a leaflet from the dispenser and decided to return for afternoon tea one day. We had to book a couple of days in advance so took a chance on the weather staying fine. We arrived early to look round the beautiful gardens and then headed to the cafe. We were presented with sandwiches, egg, cream cheese and cucumber and ham, small hot savoury tarts and sausage rolls, small scones with jam and clotted cream, and a selection of four cakes which we cut in half so we could sample them all. There was unlimited tea but we could have done with a little more jam for the scones. The place is very relaxed,, and everything is done at a slower pace, which give you a chance to get away from the bustle of everyday life. The staff were friendly, and spent time trying to guess the ages of a group of children who came in with their parents Good to see it's a dementia friendly cafe too, but as I always say if you are friendly in general, that's the first step, and these people certainly are friendly. Well worth a visit and it's free to look round the garden.

As a charity for visually impaired people, we are made very welcome at this wonderful garden. We were given a narrated tour of the gardens followed by an organised meal for all. Every need was catered for, including dietary needs and wheelchairs. The volunteers were amazing throughout and the food, second to none. This is our third visit and everyone in the group loved every minute. We definitely recommend it's well worth a visit. Thank you to Anna and the A-team.

I stumbled across this when I was reviewing another local cafe. It’s a truly hidden gem with homemade soups, scones and cakes. I had the bacon, brie and cranberry panini and others had the coriander and carrot soup. We all finished with a home made scone and jam. All delicious! We had a wander around the gardens and a browse in the curiosity shop. A pleasant afternoon out. Will definitely be back!

I enjoyed the garden with lots of lovely flowers, I would recommend going in spring when more flowers have bloomed. The staff were inviting and very helpful.

This is a lovely little garden area & cafe to visit. I’ve been a few times now & every time notice something new. Well worth a visit. The volunteers do a tremendous job!

6 of us and a baby visited on a Saturday afternoon for a lovely afternoon tea. I had booked a couple of weeks in advance and the table was set for us as we walked in. The afternoon tea was definitely worth the £8.50 each, it included sandwiches, mini quiches, sausage rolls, scones and cakes with lots of tea and coffee. 3 of us are vegetarians and were well catered for. We then had a lovely walk around the gardens.

Our night out at Winthrop gardens ranks as one of the best ever and was in no small part due to the venue, food and service. Highly recommended.

Apparently you need to book afternoon tea, which mum had organised for us. A really good price, with a nice selection of sandwiches, cake and scones.

Went with a group of people and we were given a tour of the gardens and were able to ask questions about the flowers and plants they have. Some plants are available to buy.

The cafe is well run with good wholesome food and homemade cakes within lovely surroundings of a sensory garden.

Called in to have a look around the gardens, which are a real hidden gem. Stayed in the cafe and had wonderful home made cake and tea. Noticed they have a meeting room there too, which they will cater for, very pleasant staff
