Wyevale Garden Centre in Dacorum

This garden is no longer Wyevale. Owned .It has changed overpriced no good customer care or welcome even. Much money has been spent on everything BUT the toilets are still DIsgusting. I also visited last September and was astounded that only choice for Lunch was Carvery. There was nothing to inform us of this fact until I had queued at the counter so all we could have apart from this was very limited . There should have been some indication on entering and certainly from staff member who found us a table. I visited once again today and still they still persist in not supplying water in a glass.

How sad, this garden centre used to be a go to place for a guaranteed good breakfast, now it's an overpriced, poor quality, unfriendly cafe. Staff with no customer facing persona, at least when there were more mature staff you got a 'good morning" and a feeling of service. Even butter on your toast...not an invisable scrape! Pricing at till is somewhat haphazard with no receipt given. Will not recommend.

Meet a friend for brunch. Lovely area to sit outside. It was very busy, clearly popular. Staff incredibly busy, polite and helpful. We both ordered Eggs Benedict. The menu did not say it was vegetarian but it did not mention ‘ham’, or traditional bacon. It did mention watercress. Food arrived, very disappointing. Eggs were cooked ok only positive. A cold piece of ham lay over a partially toasted slice of bread, which was soggy from the wet cold ham. No watercress. Was very tasteless. On visiting the toilets, one toilet was unflushed and yuk, the dryer didn’t work and there were no paper towels, I put my bag on the floor not realising I was putting it on wetness ? What.

Visited the Tring Garden Centre for the first time and tried the restaurant for Sunday lunch. What was annoying was that they had all the normal menus on the tables so we sat down and chose from the menu and then queued up to order when we saw a sign saying carvery only today at the counter. So why have all the usual menus out on all the tables if only serving carvery? We wasted time choosing from the kids menu and we couldn’t order as none of it was available. So we were not happy. But having said that we then tried the kids packed lunch which came with a lovely freshly made ham sandwich, drink, crisps, jelly and raisins. So my kids were happy with that. My husband loved the carvery which was a reasonable price. I really liked my toasted ciabatta with tuna and cheese. My mum liked her jacket potato and the salad was great which came with all our foods. We didn’t have to wait too long for the food to arrive and it all arrived together. But the queue to order the food was very long which shows it’s a popular place. The cakes were overpriced at £4.50 for a normal size slice of cake so it’s a rip off. The coffee cake was dry and horrible. The carpark is not easy to park. Didn’t use the toilet facilities so I don’t know. But the garden centre was nice with interesting things. Overall happy with our visit and would visit again.

If you want to pay £14 for a very average tuna sandwich with an excuse for a salad ( no dressing or care with presentation) , a cold sausage roll and two bottles of soda with no ice then this is the place to head for. Oh… it took 30 minutes to arrive btw. Really poor restaurant with inadequate staff. We shall not return.

The carvery food is excellent. We really enjoy coming on Sunday and Wednesday. Good wholesome roast dinner. Well done to all of the hardworking team who deliver this.

Eggs Benedict served with small amount of chopped ham was disappointing plus a 30 min wait so very average.

Had beef cavery could have had blood transfusion that it was uncooked Brussels put them straight on plate not cooked and horse carrots uncooked basically a load of uncooked food for the money

So disappointing in this day and age that the only vegetarian sandwich on offer was a cheese and pickle sandwich! £6.99 for two slices of bread, some grated cheese, pickle and a bit of salad! Outrageous!

We visited here on Wednesday, before moving onto our son's graduation at RAF Halton, as only a 10 minute drive away. The toilets here are extremely clean and well equipped for the disabled and baby changing too, so we were excited to move on to the restaurant next. I had to wait over 10 mins for my order to be taken, so in this time of waiting and observing everyone in the queue, you could cut the frosty atmosphere between the staff with a knife! When I sat back down at our table, we could see another two members of staff whispering by the kitchen door - someone's ears must have been burning! My husband's order came out promptly, but he felt very uncomfortable about eating, as mine had not come out until he had nearly finished. The waitress did apologise and asked if I would like a free drink to compensate, but I declined. I would also advise the restaurant to invest in some new tea towels or try putting detergent in the machine and wash the current ones, as the dirty, dark grey colour of the ones used on Wednesday were very of putting and made me wonder what else in the kitchen is filthy! Basically, the food was hot, the tomato chutney on my smashed avocado was replaced with rocket, and the bacon was tasty, but extra sides portions were extremely small for the price. I would only use this place again as a toilet stop!

Got here early, so few customers. Excellent eggs Benedict very reasonable £5.99. Well presented and cooked to perfection....(a few Tring establishments could learn from this ....value for money)! Lovely clean seating area.

Came in October m had a browse around the garden centre m very nice products inside and plants outside, a bit on the pricey side but as an occasional treat we didn’t mind too much. Had a light lunch in the restaurant/cafe. Very nice, nice decor too. Nice atmosphere. We will come back.

This has re opened under new owners. I know this is a tough time for everybody, but there is no need for rude arrogant staff. Very unorganised. Sat in a very long queue that could have been organised so much better. Staff shouting across customers. Telling customers about 2 mtr rule while brushing up against you. Watched as power hungry staff gave orders to customers like cattle. A gentleman asked for a pair of garden gloves and was berated in front of a 20 person long queue. All staff had masks that hung around there neck not over the face. As a retail manager for a large company, THIS is unacceptable. The manager needs to take a long hard look at what they are doing.

Have never been there before, had a very nice lunch with a friend, all freshly cooked. Would definitely go again.

Every monday i take my dad out and we regularly visit this garden centre. The food has always been lovely, service great and quick Lovely atmosphere can sit in or out Great value for money

We used to come in for food often, but hadn’t been for a while until today. We were so disappointed over the shepherd’s pie which was supposed to have been made with spring lamb. Although quite tasty, the pie was almost of soup consistency, very sloppy, and it barely had a nodding acquaintance with any meat whatsoever. It contained a minuscule quantity of meat, just a few bits of mince in the potato which was reminiscent of Smash. The only saving grace were the vegetables. Service was courteous but slow, with only one person taking orders and dealing with drinks, etc. I hope that our next visit coincides with a significant improvement in standards.

Quite a lot of plants and garden equipment, Unfortunately the usual fairly bland Wyevale garden centre.

Expert advice from willing staff. We have membership which gives discounts as and when which makes a difference. Nice coffee shop to finish off your browsing amongst good quality plants.

Poor, lethargic service. Sandwiches not filled sufficiently. Coffee tepid. Weird smell as if the cafe has had a cursory wipe clean with a dirty cloth and mop. Such a great shame. Raise your game and we will be back. Until then we won't be spending our money there.

Went primarily to see Santa and do a little Christmas shopping. Santa was wonderful, looked the part, took time to chat and while not a huge grotto everything was lovely and there was ample room for two adults and a toddler. He coped well with a suddenly dumb little person and was happy to be photographed. His elf helper was lovely and friendly too. Highly recommended

1.5hr to queue for the start of the queue which is another hour wait. So much waiting. Car park is insufficient so finding a space can take another hour.

Having said it’s pricey it always seems quite busy so that can’t be everyone’s perspective. It seems crowded and the table you do find is not cleared. There is a queue so I find a table and then wait for my wife to order, which can be five or ten minutes.Food is pretty basic café faire. I think some of the tables may be taken by people just waiting for someone else who is browsing the garden centre. There seem to be quite a few tables in use by customers who have long since finished their coffee.Not a place I would choose to go for a drink or a meal, there are plenty of better alternatives, other than if we are going to the Garden Centre .... and even then I would check the queue before looking for a table. Plenty of parking. The decking outside can be slippy if damp.

Let me start by saying that the food - when it came - was quite nice. It was just everything else that let it down. it took 15 minutes standing at the counter whilst the four young men on duty tried to figure out how to use the till. They proceeded to take our order by writing it down on a bit of paper instead of putting it through the till system. Invariable, after 20 minutes, only three meals came out. my fish finger sandwich arrived, after enquiring where it was, just as the other three were finishing. my coffee refill was a totally different type of coffee. Long queues, inefficiency, poor training...but as I said, the actual food was good. Needs someone to sort this out.

Went there to grab a quick breakfast - was standing there for a full 10 minutes at the till waiting to order while 2 staff members and the chef didn’t even say hello and continued to talk about mopping floors and other things whilst we stood there! Absolutely terrible staff! Perhaps they need a reminder about how service works! Won’t be going back , the last time we were there the food was good but we waited for over an hour for the food..

Love love love the food in the cafe, only once have we had a problem and that was easily resolved. Staff are always friendly and welcome

We went to get some plants for the garden and thought we would have breakfast it was nice as only one ofter couple in the cafe my husband had breakfast with hollandaise sauce and I asked for the breakfast sandwich with a soft egg when mine came it was little bits of bacon, one sausage, cut up hashbrown, just the skin of the tomato and a few half of mushroom on this very thin white bread no butter the egg was hard and the bottom slice of bread wash soggy it was really not nice and only warm.

Haven’t been here for a quite a while and we were looking forward to a small English breakfast as a special treat. I was happy with the hash brown, plum tomatoes and the sausage but my husband felt the poor presentation, quality of the baked beans, and grease residue from egg cooking oil that dropped onto his shorts made it unpallitable and he left a lot. I also found the presentation and overall quality disappointing.We didn’t complain as this could be a matter of personal taste. I did observe that the restaurant wasn’t as busy as it used to be and one of the assistants advised it doesn’t normally get busy until lunch time.

I had never been here before. However, it is better than many being laid out in a logical manner with less unrelated items for sale than the usual large garden centre. I actually found some planting I was looking for and had failed to find in two other large garden centres. Customer service was excellent with a couple of queries I had.

Always been great....PLWASE AVOID ELDERLY MANAGER (HARRY POTTER STULE GLASSES) ESPECIALLY IF ITS CLOSING TIME....went in couple days ago didn’t realise what time closing time is. I got to the till several minutes after closing I asked the Elderly Manager with Harry Potter style glasses if he could do a deal on a bulk buy of damaged plants?

Our first choice of Garden Centre just because the staff are more than helpful and the choices available are brilliant

This is quite a large garden centre, with a lovely cafe. We were looking for house plants and were a bit disappointed at the range on sale, however, the stock in general was good.

Stopped in for a cup of tea and was taken by selection of brownies and similar cakes. As there was three of us, we picked one each and cut into three. Brownie a bit chocolatey for me but everything else was good.

Wifey & I stopped here for afternoon tea after a visit to Whipsnade Zoo. At £14 for afternoon tea fir tea we were pleasant surprised at how nice it was !!

The staff are lovely. Often go in for a cup of coffee or a breakfast. Always cooked fresh and is nice and hot. Good choice and never been disappointed

At there garden centre restaurant,my wife and I had one of the best breakfasts we have had for a very long time. Staff where very busy but you still got that lovely garden centre welcome,they cleared tables quickly and everybody was happy.

Easy parking and access. The plants looked rather tired, frankly and the prices for most of them were extortionate.

Great little garden centre with a very friendly Robin, how ever cafe found bit of a let down with over priced menu. Staff this time were friendly, for the cream tea only had Strawberry jam and scone was warm but very dry, every time poured a hot cuppa from tea pot it would not pour straight.

Very friendly and helpful staff, light meals and snack available, but our jacket potatoes tasted like they had been kept warm for some time and were dry and crusty. Lovely cakes though- the carrot cake was lovely and moist. Recommend for an afternoon treat but not a main meal.

Up to this point we have always found the restaurant a pleasant experience. Unfortunately yesterday the staff were less friendly than normal and the food bland and poorly cooked. Still don't cater with children's portions of the cooked food. Did listen to what had been ordered. What a let down!

Just popped in for a coffee - very offhand staff, stood there ages being ignored then she served someone BEHIND me in the queue! Wouldn't mind if it was cheap and cheerful but mega expensive coffee (2.80 for a cappuccino, very indifferent and weak, it should be proper barista stuff for that price, what a ripoff.

Popped in late on Saturday afternoon for pet supplies - enquired in the restaurant as to the time breakfast was served 'tomorrow' (Sunday) - cheerfully told 9-11.30am; well rest assured I queried the information but was reassured 9-11.30. Duly we (son, two under 4's) & pregnant daughter arrived fir breakfast only to be turned away.

Quite pricey if you eat the main meals and have dessert and a drink. Comes to around £30 for lunch for two people. We always go when we have a discount voucher from the tills to bring the price down. The fish and chips is very good. Fish cooked well, not overdone. The roasts are also good on Sundays. This restaurant gets very busy around lunchtime, even at exactly 12 noon! People pile in and there is almost a chance that you can not find a table to sit at. Though, there are many tables, this restaurant is quite big. Eating a bit later without the rush hour crowds, means that it's more quieter and pleasant.

Popped in for a quick bite between jobs, what a mistake. 30 mins i had to wait for a wrap that was utterly terrible and £4.50 to boot. Nevwr again!!!!!!!

We were given a voucher for afternoon tea at this garden centre. Good choice of veggie or non-veggie sandwiches, cakes and scones plus a hot drink. Served by a very friendly member of staff. The only downside is that the cafe is quite cramped - and as it was very busy it wasn't a very restful environment in which tio enjoy our afternoon tea.

This is an attractive café within the Wyevale Garden centre. There is comfortable seating inside and also outside on a balcony overlooking the outdoor plants. The coffee is good and the service is great. A pleasant place to relax in the middle of a busy shopping session.

Excellent gluten free dining can be found at the Wyevale Garden Centre in Tring. In 10 years of GF dining I had the best meal ever today - A cheese and leek tart with fresh veges, potatoes and gravy. There is a seperate gf menu in the process of being updated. Service was great also. My Aunty and mum had the ham, egg and chips which they said was very tasty and very plentiful.
