Woodmeadow Garden Centre Cafe in Daventry

We went for coffee and also had a scone, jam and cream each. The latter were superb although we were not expecting the scones to be warm (with cold cream). The coffees came in cups which were only 3/4 full, most of that was froth, being a cappuccino. Thus, one had to eke out the drink to last through eating the large scone. We'd have been better with a pot of tea perhaps. I had asked for a cafetiere but one was not available. Later I saw the waitress taking mugs of drink to other tables; these were not clearly on the menu which was a shame: I'll know next time. This has not put me off a return visit and the Sunday lunch looks interesting. Pleasant staff but not sure the music needs to be quite so loud. Gosh, I AM difficult to please!!

The breakfast was really tasty with good quality food coupled with a similar vegetarian option. The tearoom has a cosy atmosphere with great service. We are so pleased to discover this little gem we have driven past for so many years.

Lovely food and great portion sizes. Fresh scones were divine. The tearoom is cosy and warm with friendly attentive staff

Absolutely astonished they charged £1 extra as we shared a giant scone ! The tea cups were nice though.

Lovely full English breakfast and jacket spud with cheese in a nice atmosphere - staff were friendly and good nice and hot - good selection on the menu to cater for all tastes.

What's not to like, we like it, good selection of snacks and food, with polite staff and not that expensive. Coffee is very nice, and a relaxed area for eating and drinking. Well done.

Where do I start? Food fantastic. Had a Christmas diner. Not too much on the plate to overwhelm. Enough to eat and feel comfortable. Atmosphere superb. Friendly happy staff, couldn’t do enough to accommodate. Tables cleared quickly and efficiently, not leaving “dirty plates” when making decisions about the next course. Couldn’t recommend the whole experience enough. A must go to place. THE TEA ROOM. Woodmeadow Garden Centre. Hannigton. A43.

Visited with my Mum today. Lovely, very reasonably priced tearoom. We had a tea and a coffee, in lovely China cups and a bacon roll each, which was delicious. Was a horrible rainy day today so didn’t get to enjoy seeing all the lovely animals that are there but worth going just for the the tearoom!!

Visited with a friend for lunch followed by scones! The food was great, big portions, fresh and very reasonably priced. The staff were helpful and nothing too much trouble. We had a private table for two in a little summer house which was lovely! Would visit again for afternoon tea next time.

Apprehensive over going out to treat sister in law for her birthday, Woodmeadow appealed to us. The isolation of our own space to spend celebrating over Afternoon Tea was ideal. Communication was excellent beforehand and reassuring. On arrival we were shown to a tastefully decorated summerhouse type building. Afternoon tea was simple in comparison to more pretentious places, but for that was also excellent value and well presented. Ample sandwiches, lovely cakes and delicious scones, and a bowl of very nice strawberries to mop up the excess of the fresh cream. Refills of tea and coffee were offered timely without prompt. This was our first venture out into normal life since lockdown and it was a superb tonic for the soul. No anxiety whatsoever! I highly recommend the Afternoon tea experience in your own space, we are planning a return visit as soon as possible. They even had “special staff “ come to clean up the crumbs!

Haven't been for some years and was really pleased with how the place has changed. Lots of different animals, sensible Covid layout and not too crowded. Been with family who have had bacon rolls and sandwiches all very nice. Also they offer boarding to animals including reptiles, my daughters bearded dragon settled well and will be back later this month. A little gem on the A43 and well worth a visit.

Simply amazing!!! Hidden gem. Came here today for my Mum’s birthday. To be honest, we weren’t expecting too much, but how wrong we were. The afternoon tea was amazing and so reasonably priced. We loved our own private cabin retreat, so much so, I now want my own cabin! My son loved all the animals and it was so sweet watching the mummy chickens keeping their chicks dry under their wings as we dined. Our waitress was really attentive and despite the inclement weather, a fantastic time was had by all. Thanks so much, we will definitely be back soon x

This was a lovely trip to the garden centre local family run business offering amazing customer service and a wonderful Afternoon tea in your own private summer house and takeaway food brilliant concept well done to you all we had a brilliant time something for everyone good food some different plants cute animals and the great thing is it’s a local garden centre that’s not the same as most of the others in the area that are all owned by the same company well done to you all refreshing positive attitude in what are very difficult times for all businesses thank you 10 out of 10 across the board in all areas.

Needed somewhere to eat on way to Warner's gin tasting , saw this on line and the food was excellent and perfect for what we needed, but, the whole place is tired and in need of some TLC. Think it is family run , but just a few touches like sweeping the leaves out of the toilet cubicles and a general tidy up when not so busy would go along way. Small animal area which would be lovely in better weather .

We thought we would pop in here for lunch . The garden centre was deserted, and the tea room just had a couple of lads that were staff waiting for food. I ordered 2 x sandwiches, and 2 x chips, and 2x soft drinks. And then we waited!. We weren't surprised by this because it was so quiet we just thought, everything was being made from scratch. Our sandwiches arrived, and we were asked if we wanted any sauces. Vinegar and ketchup please I said, when the girl arrived back to the table she said. Are you having chips?. I didn't say this but I was Thinking " Urmm, yes that's what I ordered?". And then the wait began again. I had finished my sandwich when 1 bowl of chips arrived, sadly pale sad looking things. only just the colour of chips, and still hard inside!. I was picking through them, and eating the cooked ones, when some bloke in a Christmas hat announced from behind me. "Would you like some different chips?". "No, it's fine thank you, we need to be going" I said to this person. Then got up and went to the counter where the girl had already got the £14 plus, loaded into the card machine!!. We paid, and made a hasty retreat, as we got in the car we did consider why, when we had a discussion about whether to pop here or elsewhere, we had chosen here. I don't think we'll make that mistake again. ... We were the only customers there, how could they have got it so wrong.

Visited this tea room as a central point to meet up with friends for a catch up, the tea room is within a garden centre with in and outdoor seating and plenty of room, we all had tea and cake and there was a large and lovely selection to choose from, the service was good, nice friendly lady behind the counter, we were the only people in there which seems a shame as it was such a nice place to visit. We will be back.

Our visit to The Hearty Tea Room was excellent. We ordered two fried breakfasts which were very tasty. The staff were very pleasant and the prices great. We would definitely recommend and will be returning. So glad we’ve found this little gem of a cafe. After our food we went for a mooch around the garden centre.

Tired old Garden centre that has seen many better days. Manageress was rude! I won't be going here again.

been here a few times for brunch and would highly reccomend it could food and service even refil your coffee cups and with goats chicken etc around a good place to take little ones as well

Food was lovely owner and staff very friendly price was very competitive .We ordered bacon roll panini and tea for two less than a tenner

Just popped in for late lunch. The food was superb. A really lovely friendly place to eat. Will be back soon.

Never been to the garden centre before and have to admit the inside shop does look a bit run down. The pet shop was good though - they seemed to stock just about everything.We visited the tea room of which was empty when we arrived. The menu was very traditional but they had minimal options for vegetarians/vegans. My only option was the soup, and I'm not sure if they didn't know what a vegan was, as the bread came with butter. So I am still not sure if what I ate was vegan... My partner had the full English which was huge and he said it was great.They had ran out of some items on the menu which was a shame and I ordered a juice drink which when it arrived was an odd cokour. The date on the neck of the bottle said 2017 so it was off. The waitress was very sweet though, we couldn't fault her helpfulness.

Visited tea rooms at Woodmeadow garden centre quite a few times,for breakfast/lunch.Home made scones and cakes.Friendly helpful staff thoroughly recommended

Popped in for lunch. Lovely meal the home cooked ham was really tasty. All wonderful homemade cakes and scones. Jolly and friendly welcome well worth a visit. Will definitely be back.

We have been to the Hearty Cafe at the Garden centre many times now and often pop in for Breakfast come lunch.

This afternoon at 3.30pm I took my two grandchildren for afternoon tea using a voucher my daughter had given me for my birthday. We were quickly seen by Sandra, who enquired what fillings we wanted in our sandwiches & a tray of tea & two Fairtrade apple juices arrived straight away, followed a few minutes later by a 3 tiered plate of sandwiches, scones, cakes & a bowl of crisps. My grandson even ate the crusts which he never does at home as the bread was so nice. The scones were delicious with generous pots of clotted cream & jam. Then we managed one cake each - Hannah & I had a very light Victoria sponge oozing with jam & Matthew enjoyed his Rice Crispie bar, & we were offered the chance to take the other cakes home.

Fuimos para el té de la tarde y era muy pobre. Había visto las buenas críticas de este sitio, que es el motivo por el que fuimos. Los bocadillos eran hechas de pan gruesas rancio, no había mantequilla en el pan y el relleno parecía ser de relleno supermercado listo en vez de hecho ellos mismos. Había un bollo diminuta rancio y un pequeño bocadillo de plateado seco victoria. Realmente horrible no creo que las buenas críticas que entró en este sitio pueden posiblemente ser genuina.

Paramos de camino a casa después de un fin de semana y realmente apreciamos el excelente té (té hecho con buena calidad y un buen teteras de cerámica) y sándwiches muy sabroso. Las tartas parecía tentador, pero los bocadillos eran tan abundante, así que no tienen espacio para probar uno, que era una vergüenza. La tetera se reponía con agua caliente, incluso antes de que se pedimos así raro estos días. El coste del almuerzo era de alrededor de los mismos, ya que había pagado por dos café y un pastel en una cafetería de la cadena anterior en el fin de semana.

Nunca he estado en la sala de té antes de abundante pero oímos cosas buenas. No me defraudó, para decir lo menos. Se servía de tres niveles de soporte tarta y todos parecían y fuimos guau! Bien llenos de sándwiches en pan fresco de variedades suaves, pastel, incluyendo Sandwich victoria, chocolate, frutas flapjacks y también dos tipos de bollos frescos con generosa de mermelada y crema cuajada y variedades o patatas fritas con una variedad de té o café de filtro! ! El personal era impecable; comprobar si necesitamos más té o café y generalmente ser encantador. Gracias por hacer de nuestra tarde de domingo tan relajante y me encantaría volver. Muy buena relación calidad-precio.

El café es pequeño, pero el nuevo propietario Sandra ha convertido todo el año. Todos los productos caseros y nada es demasiado problema. El personal era encantador, la única que creo que alguien ha mencionado ha desaparecido! Es un ambiente agradable y recargas gratis como pago. Sin duda volveremos. Es una pena que el jardín está un poco descuidado.

Visitamos el abundante Tearoom en el centro de jardín en Semana Santa Woodmeadow lunes para el té de la tarde después de un paseo por Pitsford Reservoir. Fuimos calurosamente recibidos por el nuevo propietario, Sandra, que asumió la administración en febrero de 2017. Nos sirvieron rápidamente con una gran selección de sabrosos bocadillos, patatas fritas, pasteles y bollos caseros con crema de leche y mermelada. El té se sirve en una olla y cuando bebimos reponen todos ya que era muy agradable. El propietario claramente cree en usando ingredientes de calidad. Fue realmente demasiado para dos personas para comer. Sandra lo que lleno no pude terminar en una cajita para llevar a casa. Sin duda volveré.

No vayan a hacer uso de la sala, sin duda nos alegramos de haberlo hecho. El personal es muy agradable y super bollos y café. Le llame de nuevo.

Great Lunch. Good tasting food and drinks. Stopped in for lunch this afternoon. Very reasonably priced. We will be back!

Was there for the relaunch of the Tea Room and wow what a lovely place. It's only small, with a dozen or so tables and the menu is simple: teas, coffees, cakes (including homemade scones!) and sandwiches. Everything was homemade and nothing was too much trouble for the staff.Would highly recommend for a light bite and an excellent cuppa!

When to Woodmeadow to look at garden bits & bobs.Fancy cup of tea, went in & was welcoming.Sam served & was very friendly, had nice chat.Got told by Sam it be fully opening soon, few finish touchs.

The food here is excellent, big selection of cakes as well as scones :) The service was wonderful, the lady who now runs it has definitely made some great changes. All of the food is homemade and fresh- all good value as well! Good place to eat for families or just for a coffee and cake, they offer gluten free options also. She has just opened so will be going back soon to try the extended menu. Can't wait for the big opening on February 4th !

Have driven by a few times and the place piqued my interest enough to go in. Time was 9.40 am, First impression wasn't good, looked ramshackle and a little run down from the front. Decided to go to the tea room for refreshments, large sign said "open" only when you got to the door it said in small writing "10-4", disappointed as I was gagging for a cuppa was then told by a member of staff the tea room wasn't open on a monday. Really?! Decided to go to Adele's reptile house at same venue only to find that was closed too, no mention of opening times anywhere. Was really disappointed as this was the main reason for visit. Don't know if I will bother again in future. From the revues I've read this place doesn't like to make money.

I would like to thank the lady in the tearoom I had a family afternoon tea with my family and we had a lovely time friendly helpful service the tea was lovely all homemade cakes and scones with the tea sandwiches were fresh. Would def go again

My friend and myself decided to visit the tea room for lunch today. We arrived slightly after 1.10pm to find that we were the only customers there and to be told by the lady behind the counter who was not that welcoming that there was no hot food available, what its lunch time. Okay its a warm day so probably a cold lunch would be acceptable. We were given a menu to look at and after finding a table my friend and I decided that we would opt for the afternoon tea only to be told by the miserable waitress that we had to book. (think she would have rather been somewhere else) What a laugh, it wasn't as if there were any other customers in, don't they want the business. My friend wanted to go elsewhere, but I persuaded her we should give it a try, so we both ordered a chicken and bacon panini and coffee. The food served to us was hot with a little chopped lettuce and vegetable crisps, however we were disappointed with the filling. If you order chicken and bacon you expect chicken and bacon, not a chicken and bacon sandwich filler which you can get from any supermarket for 79p.Well unfortunately we won't be visiting this establishment again and certainly won't recommend to friends. Sorry Woodmeadow but you need to get your act together.

Nice cheese and ham sandwiches, lovely homemade cakes and scones. Well worth it with the groupon voucher. Only criticism, it was a hot day and the tea room was very warm.

A really lovely tea room serving delicious home made cakes, scones with clotted cream and fresh dainty finger sandwiches. My friend and I were made to feel very welcome and were frequently asked if we required more tea and coffee. Unfortunately we were the only customers they had so although we had plenty of chatting to do it would have had a bit more "buzz" if more people had been there. The garden centre it is attached to is quite small but pleasant, certainly worth a visit.

I visited with my friends and had some coffee and cake, service was great, friendly with a smile and we have made this a regular place to meet up

We stopped here for lunch. The food was freshly cooked and very tasty. We were served by Jo. who makes beautiful cakes, it was chocolate when we were there. Afternoon tea is served between 1pm and 3pm more delicious cakes!

This is the second time we have been and had afternoon tea at this venue. Have been to a lot of different venues for afternoon tea and this is ok,nothing too exciting,ham x3 triangles and cheese x3 sandwiches.we was asked if we wanted a warm scone,which we did,it came with jam and cream, then there were 2 chocolatey small square cakes each,we was asked what we wanted to drink and we opted for tea served in a bone china cup and saucer enough tea for 2 cups each. The only thing is each time we've been there never has been anybody else there ,so atmosphere was nil. Nice tea but nothing exceptional. We had it brought for us each time from groupon , I don't think I would have paid this myself.

I booked a groupon for my friends birthday - decided to try somewhere new. The description on groupon read 'a traditional spread of sandwiches with scones and jam plus a selection of cakes and pastries and a choice of drinks'. We arrived to an empty cafe, no table laid and were told to sit where we liked. The lady then bought over a pot of tea and 2 cups (no choice offered). She then came over with a slate which held 3 ham sandwiches, 3 cheese sandwiches, 4 individual chocolates and 2 small, flat, out of a packet scones, a pot of jam and a pot of cream. No garnish to make it pretty, and certainly no cake/pastries. My face said it all. To double check I asked her if that's what we were getting for the £18 afternoon tea! She offered to get the manager. The manager was surly and rude and simply said that I could seek a refund from groupon. No customer service skills at all. I have since emailed to ask for the owners details only to find the owner is also the manager. She has done nothing to rectify the problems or even to suggest that she cares about her customers. We will not be returning.

Fine for the money but obviously a microwaved meal. Staff were pleasant and only one other couple eating while we were there (Friday lunch time). Probably would have been better if there had been a few more customers but service was good.

We went here on recommandation and found it exactly as described. It is a warm and friendly place and the lady serving us was very welcoming. We enjoyed are visit there and will definitely be coming back.

Lovely afternoon tea courtesy of groupon. Sandwiches were lovely and fresh. Big pot of hot tea with scones and cakes. Service was lovely and the menu looked great. We will return for breakfast!

Arranged to meet my friend here as it was her birthday very soon and I had found a Groupon for a hot meal and a drink on offer.Very pleasantly surprised by the standard of food served, very tasty indeed. I had fish pie and my friend has mousakka and both were very good indeed.Served along with individual pots of mixed veg and pots of tea.As it was her almost birthday we also decided to treat ourselves to a cream tea for 2. More pots of tea 2 scones along with jam and clotted cream....what's not to love!The manager was helpful and courteous at all times. Lovely lunch.

Very well done Burger, tasted so good I will be coming back :)Lovely and friendly staff helping out.The Garden centre has made lots of new improvements I bought so much from you guys,Looks Great!fish and pond centre is very colourful with all the new fish Be back soonJosh
