Garden centre was lovely although the cafe was over priced, we got there about 1 ish and had run out of so many items, so not much left to choose from.

This garden centre seems to sell everything the gardener would what. Plants, garden lights, outdoor plants. Plus has a restaurant which is outside and inside. Large car park. Have now opened their Christmas Display and you will not be disappointed. Their have a large display of outdoor furniture. Parking for the disabled outside the entrance to the shop. They have got a large selection of plants can be planted now. They have also created a new selection displaying arches and garden displays. They do a nice breakfast.

My mother and I are frequent visitors and rarely leave disappointed. Today however my 85yr old mother wanted to buy a coat. There was 30% off and she was thrilled. Found a nice colour and went to try on, but the coats were soaking wet from a leak in roof. Went to tell an assistant who was stocking up the xmas stock, she did not even attempt to come and look and assist. Just shrugged her shoulders, said lots of leaks in this's place. No attempt to come and move the coats or assist my mother. This attitude does not leave a good impression if staff cannot take responsibility. Have a word please and move clothing to a safer spot. Thankyou

In the past I would've rated this cafe 5 stars, the service was usually excellent, with one particular young man always polite and capable, caring about customer service. And we enjoyed lovely food. However, today it was terribly noisy with banging and crashing coming from behind the service area often. Then the door was left wide open by staff, and it was very cold, so I closed it and noticed a staff member pull a face in response, so I explained 'we're really cold, so I've closed the door'. Such a contrast to previous occasions we've visited. I wouldn't go back if today was my only experience.

Called in unexpectedly while on a walk in the local area. There is a good choice of plants and accessories at normal garden centre prices. A few offers can be found. Staff are lovely. The cafe is good, but cold drinks are way too expensive. They needed more staff on the day we visited. One person taking orders at lunch. They need a pedestrian entrance from the road. You have to walk into the path of cars if you arrive on foot. Rather unsafe.

Cafe lunch Really terrible service. Most disappointing after reading previous reviews. I joined the queue with 3 people in it. 25 minutes to serve half a dozen coffees. At one point 5 people stood around the till pointing at it. I received no apologies. The tea when it finally arrived was with cold mugs so couldn’t be enjoyed hot! The toasted ciabatta was cold in the middle and barely toasted. £23 for a total disaster, I will never use again and strongly urge reconsidering location for a light lunch. Horrendous.

We sat in the marquee for lunch, and it has seen better days. It was drab, needed a darn good face-lift! The floor was covered in dead leaves, it smelled damp and fusty, overall it was not a nice place to eat. The food is slightly overpriced for the amount you get, I wouldn't say it is the best I've had in a garden centre.

Cafe review. Most of the seating here is outside or in a marquee which has heaters. In the cold season, customers prefer to sit in the cafe itself, which has settings for about 28 people, at tables for 2 or 4 customers. Unfortunately, my dozen ladies called in this morning at 10 30 am for hot drinks & a catch-up, assuming we could use the marquee as we have done in the past. There were about 6 customers already seated. On this occasion we were met with a reception as frosty as the weather outside. No heater in the marquee option, (although it was still set-up and furnished) & we were told in no uncertain terms that we were in the way and would have to give up our seats to people who wanted cooked breakfasts. We persevered with the hostile reception as politely as we could, as we had no time to find somewhere else to go. It was a social gathering & we had no appetite for an argument. Half of us are local customers of the garden centre. I myself had been in there earlier to buy a bird feeder. We felt very pressured to buy food with our hot drinks & were scowled at if we just ordered coffee. There was a surliness which was quite off-putting today and wasn’t merited. If you are a larger-than-average group, I would avoid this garden centre coffee shop in the cooler weather, unless you are all intending to order a cooked meal. I would have thought that between 10 30 to 12, ordering a hot drink and a flapjack while browsing the store would be quite a reasonable thing to do, and I wouldn’t have expected to be told that I would have to give my seat up to someone coming in behind me who wanted a full English. Perhaps this needs to be posted at the entrance to save customers the embarrassment of being turned away. I have complained before about the toilet block, which often needs maintenance and a clean. This is not a cheap garden centre, it needs to raise its game a little with customer care. It is now part of British Garden Centres, and the change of hands seems to have marked a change in standards on that front.

We love this place & have bought plenty of things inc a patio suite, from the Christmas decorations etc to the staff, plants & have always enjoyed your cheese & fruit scones. Hopefully though you haven’t changed you recipe because the scone we had last week wasn’t good, I’m sorry to say that but wanted you to know. The fruit scone was hard & cheese scone wasn’t your normal. We will still come back & give them another try hoping it was a one off.

Just visited sprowston garden centre to buy a Christmas tree and have a bite to eat in the cafe. Ordered a “full English breakfast” has to be one of the most disappointing breakfasts I’ve ever had. 1 piece of bacon 1 sausage 1 greasy hash brown and some cold mushrooms plus half a tomato. When I questioned where the toast/bread was they explained that’s not part of the “full English” and was to be another £2.50 on top. Never have understood why people eat in these over priced cafes at garden centres but thought I would give it one last go. Safe to say I won’t be eating there again and would rather go somewhere that understands the meaning of a “full English”.

I asked what about my statutory rights to return within 14 days and was told by the supervisor nope they do not have to accept them back. They did take them back begrudgingly after explained seeing as they are not the colour advertised they should take them back. Arrogant supervisor congratulations you have lost a regular customer.
