Wymondham Garden Centre Limited in South Norfolk

Lovely clean restaurant and very friendly, efficient service. Everything served to the table. Wide choice of freshly cooked and prepared dishes and daily specials. Cakes and pastries fabulous choice Definitely worth a visit if meeting friends or visiting the area. Plus lots of seasonal plants and gifts

Great staff within the garden centre, helpful and friendly. The cafe is hit and miss with grumpy staff and despite getting there in time for the cooked break, by the time I was served at 11.35 I was told we could not have one! Not very helpful or accommodating despite our being regular customers.

Today we popped into Wymondham Garden Centre for a spontaneous meet up with friends. We went into the cafe, met by a lovely young girl called Chelsea. She was very knowledgeable about the lunch time selection and treats. We opted for a prawn sandwich on granary and a fruit scone. Despite how busy the cafe was the service was excellent. Really friendly place. Quick efficient service and tasty wholesome food. Thank you Chelsea, your knowledge helped us choose a fabulous lunch.

Whilst basically it was okay I felt it was pricey by comparison with other venues in the town and I always judge a breakfast by the temperature of the beans . Luke warm at best. We were a large group and the place was very busy but the orders were taken very efficiently and delivered quite quickly and accurately

Like the Wymondham cafe the breakfast in the Aylsham cafe (not got its own Trip Advisor page ?) is one of the better one in the area

Counter staff got our coffee order wrong Very reluctant to offer to change stating thats was what was on the receipt As my wife did not like chocolate was left with no alternative but to pay for a latte When it arrived it was scolding and like dishwater and was completely un drinkable No idea how to make a coffee Left here very disappointed There are many garden centre cafe who display far better customer service Will not be returning here for my Sunday brunch for a while

I just wanted to praise this garden centre. It was my very first visit, just moved to the area, thought I would give it a look. I did not have anything to eat, although what was on the counter looked appealing and was suitably covered, I just had a coffee, e ought to me by a very pleasant member of staff. I fed the menu, it looks well balanced with various options of food and drinks. I then decided to look round, well what a wonderful range of items, ranging from well looked after plants and shrubs, to candles and plenty of interior items suitable for anyone to decorate their homes. I will certainly visit regularly and indeed next time will have to try something to eat. I moved from near the Aylsham garden centre, which the same owners as here have taken over,I can now see why they are successful. Keep up the good work.

I had a chicken and chorizo salad which was a special they had on. Very fresh salad, balsamic dressing, whole plain chicken breast and cubed chorizo, plus garlic butter new potatoes..yum! Good size portion and very tasty. Good service.

I have a severe allergy to dairy and mild allergies to peanuts, sesame seeds and kiwi. I visited 2 times, one with family and one with just my husband and I. The first time was fantastic, we had a lovely breakfast with my allergies perfectly handled by a friendly staff member; who I shall refer to as the younger girl. She was particularly good. My second visit wasn’t so good. I was served by an older lady with grey hair. I explained my allergies to her and the meal I wanted to order for my husband first, we both follow a dairy free diet, she went and checked with the chef whether it would be okay and she came back and said it would be. I then proceeded to tell her about my meal and she seemed annoyed that she had to check that it was okay again and said something like, ‘Are you ordering both of these?’ She then didn’t seem to check as thoroughly as the first time and then came back and said it was fine. She then asked me whether I could have eggs, which obviously I can because eggs come out of a chicken not a cow. This didn’t fill me with confidence, but I proceeded because she did check with the chef. During serving me the older lady was prompted on the correct way of inputting allergies into the system for an order by the younger girl. The older lady seemed a bit miffed about being told what to do. After having my meal, which to be fair was very nice, I started to have a reaction which was mild, but my reactions don’t stop, they tend to build until I need to go to a hospital, so I had to leave quickly to get my medication. I checked my receipt on the way home and my husband’s meal had been put through as gluten free, so she obviously had no idea about allergies. All in all, a bad experience the second time, a good experience the first. Staffing is everything.

Popped in for quick tea and cake and extremely disappointed as gluten free ginger cake very dry, so dry that I left some of it which very unlike me as I'm a cakeaholic! My partner wasn't amused!

We had a really lovely lunch here; all exceptionally clean. A good, varied menu selection and the food was superb. Nice coffee too. Great service; the staff were very friendly, obliging and attentive. Definitely worth a visit. We'll be back!

Visit here quite often either with family or friends for meals and snacks. I find the food and service in the restaurant is good, I was disappointed to find that the few indoor tables located just outside the restaurant that were previously dog friendly have now been removed, I know we can sit outside with our little doggie but as the weather is getting cooler now, this is no longer going to be an option so a dog walk and coffee stop here may no longer be on the cards, such a shame.I have to say that the biggest downside at this garden centre and one which could genuinely put me off from visiting is the very sour faced lady who regularly mans the till and never ever seems able to smile or even exchange any pleasantries whatsoever! I feel that she really should not be doing such a job if she really dislikes it so much I was very close to telling her so today!

Ordered our coffee, hot chocolate and brie, bacon and cranberry panini at till. Lovely polite friendly service. Sat at a table in conservatory. Clean surroundings and not over crowded. Nice China and a fabulous filling hot panini with coleslaw and salad. Tasty and the drinks were generous too! Great place to stop.

One of the better breakfasts among the garden centres in Norfolk - good food and service in a comfortable setting

Fabulous slice of cake followed by a fab latte Great display of cakes and savouries. Will return again for lunch Lovely friendly staff

Great place to meet up with friends / family for coffee and a light snack. Plenty of table space in and out with delicious homemade menu. Good table service and friendly staff. Not rushed and the garden centre itself has good stock of plants, garden...

I really enjoy coming here for a light snack (cakes or sausage rolls) and lunch either with my children or meeting my friends. The staff are always very friendly, the lunches are just the right size and if you can’t fit your scrumptious cake in...

Having decided to support local businesses during this time, we decided to visit the café within the garden centre. The outside setting looked particularly inviting, unfortunately the counter service was far from welcoming-rude and abrupt from the employee who took my order. Dismissive of anything...

First class friendly service, good food, good value and Covid 19 safe. I f you want a good lunch or just coffee and cake give it a try.

Lovely place to visit, huge selection covering gardening needs and more, friendly staff and very helpful. Great at Christmas for the kids! Fantastic food and cake! From a Wymondham resident that loves to shop here! 🌱🥀🌹🦋🐝🌲🌵🌻🌼☕🍰🍩🍪!!!

Great Staff always friendly & helpful. Richard was so informative we purchased extra items on today's visit. Sadly the unprofessional Boss comes across.... Well, Bossy!

This is my husbands favourite place to go for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Good value and tasty food.

Visited for the first time in a while and was disappointed. Food normally great but this time the food was luke warm and the scrambled eggs were a funny shade of grey. Everything was freshly made last time I visited but not so confident this...

Well totally impressed by the garden centre, my first visit and the coffee shop. Lovely latte and delicious home made cakes. Never seen cakes baked so big, I'm very fussy on cakes, as many claim home made and clearly aren't. These are definitely homemade, lovely...

Staff helpful, welcoming & polite. Delicious home cooked ham, eggs & chips and a tasty cheese scone served with butter in a classy small pot. Good quality peppermint tea Birchalls. Clean loos and lots of exciting plants and merchandise.

We arrived here to a very friendly welcome. Reasonable prices and plenty of home cooked fare on offer. Our party chose a selection of Cales and savories and none disappointed us. Pot of tea was truly wonderful and plenty of it. Highly recommend!

We’ve now visited on three occasions in the last month and each time the food has been excellent, the service friendly and helpful and we would recommend it to anyone. The food is tasty and well presented and homemade.

My son bought his mother a magnolia for mother’s day which immediately began to deteriorate until it died. As it was a gift I didn’t have the receipt but had the plant label..I returned it to the garden centre fully expecting it would be replaced...

The garden centre was very busy when we arrived at lunch time. They had no scones, no teacakes, no sausage rolls. We choose cake and quiche which was nice but expensive. The restaurant is nice and there is outside seating is available on a nice...

I can not believe in this day and age a cafe serving breakfast does not cater for a vegetarian despite being told the boss is a veggi. The breakfast I did have was not brilliant. Tinned mushrooms run of the mill brown bread fried eggs...

The Garden Centre is lovely - lots of room, toilets, a coffee shop (which does lovely English Breakfasts) and just a wonderful happy atmosphere. There is an outside area full of vegetables, flowers and trees, and each area is usually got an added garden decoration so it doesn't look boring. There is also an area with just fun home items and essentials (like slippers, belts etc).

Have been to this garden centre many times and will continue to do so. As well as having so many gifts for presents, has as excellent restaurant. The last time I visited we met friends for breakfast and yet again were not disappointed.

Had a fab tasty bacon butty,nice bread,bacon done just right. Staff friendly as usual. Sausage next time!

Arrived just after 2.30pm looking forward to afternoon tea. One of our party was hoping for a toasted cheese sandwich but these were not served after 2.30pm. No matter, we thought we'd have 3 afternoon teas. Very surprised to be told that they were also only available up until 2.30pm!A selection of cakes was available and the café doesn't close until 4! I've never known somewhere stop serving teas at the end of lunch service. Very disappointing.

Its a garden centre serving food, drinks, sandwiches, coffee etc so good value and good food, which is what you want.

Since it opened, we’ve visited regularly for breakfasts, lunches and afternoon treats and we’ve always been happy with the service, the seating areas and the overall value for money.

Everything was cold, the restaurant and the food!!! Ended up putting coat back on!! Full English was rubbish, cold bacon, beans and toast, egg over cooked, mushrooms dry and awful, not good at all, waaaaaay better places to eat breakfast will not be returning

Well stocked Garden center, with plenty of choice for Christmas , fun things to entertain the kids , the restaurant/cafe has a good choice on the menu , reasonably priced. Plenty of car parking space .

We enjoyed afternoon tea and the choice of cakes was amazing (only wish there were no calories in them!)

I visited this garden centre, great friendly and helpful staff. It had everything I needed and a whole lot more. Ample parking and a lovely coffee shop, unfortunately I didn’t have time to stop but I will be back, lots of gift ideas as well.

My husband and I had lunch here today. Food was lovely and the staff could not have been more helpful, friendly or cheerful.

I had been highly recommended to visit by a friend so decided to give it a go. The cakes looked lovely but decided to go for a Full English Breakfast. We sat outside and the food arrived swiftly. I thought the bacon looked odd but when I tasted it it was obviously rotten. I had to spit it out. Both our plates were swimming in grease and the mushrooms were obviously way beyond best too. To top it off within a few minutes of getting the food the cesspit was starting to get emptied without any warning to customers seated outside. Obviously the staff were warned as they closed the doors and windows. Thankfully I wasn’t feeling much like eating the rotten food anyway and the stench was making me wretch so we left. Only to find my stomach rejecting what little food I had eaten later in the day. Not a good experience from start to finish. To be honest the apathetic teenage staff should have sent the alarm bells ringing from the start. I feel sick just thinking about the whole experience.

There are not to many places to eat breakfast in Wymondham on a sunday . But this is a good value place to go , opens at 10:00 on Sunday so be prepared to check the times.

Visited for coffee. Fair selection of cakes. Found the young staff rather apathetic and non engaging.

We visit here most weeks/weekends for lunch with family.

Arrived with our dog, asking they were allowed as I had heard they were dog-friendly staff were not welcoming after discussion on what to do sent us to the dog area, which had been shut off for cleaning then got told we shut in 5mins. We left as we had been made to feel unwanted. Looked around the garden centre and 10 mins later they were still serving new customers. As we left one member of staff did say there had been a miss understanding and we could have a seat, unfortunately I was quite upset, as I felt like a 2nd class person. I understand that dogs are not welcome in many places and we are happy to sit in special areas but when it is advertised as dog friendly and it's not I feel it's not on.

Visit the cafe regularly, we find the girls very helpful n friendly also on the shop floor staff are very helpful with a good knowledge of the plants n their care.

Decided to visit this garden centre for breakfast whilst visiting our son and family. We have been before on a previous visit and as we don’t live locally we can see big changes every time we come. However this time was a great disappointment all round, last time I left a review on here saying I was unhappy not be able to have poached eggs on a cooked breakfast and received a reply back saying that on my next visit poached eggs would be on the menu but sadly they were not! The only eggs being served were fried not even scrambled were available and at the time we ordered the garden centre coffee shop was not busy as all! The other members of the family had cooked breakfasts but they were not overly impressed with the overcooked hard fried eggs, I had ordered a toasted tea cake and nearly gave up on it after half an hour wait, apparently they had forgotten it! By the time we left the queue to order was very long and the girl serving was apologising to people waiting saying they only have one till available to put orders through! If you choose to expand as you are doing then surely you should also put in more steps to help your customers such as extra order points and a more flexible menu. I heard someone else asking about vegetarian breakfast options to be told the only thing that could be done was to omit the bacon and sausage and double up on the other items i.e fried eggs, mushrooms etc. Sadly next time we come on a visit we will not be returning to this garden centre but will pay Notcutts a visit as they are always happy to swap items and the good quality breakfast they serve is in fact cheaper!

Wymondham garden centre, is one of its own. A very pleasing and inviting garden centre to visit, with all the different things on offer to buy. Not just plants etc... Christmas was wonderful with all the different attractions. Took my granddaughter for drink and cakes she absolutely loved the experience. The cafe is a definite try for anyone, very good. Love popping into this garden centre.

Have been here 4 times in the last couple of months or so and I'm not sure what all the fuss is about really, maybe I'm not choosing the right food and a meal would be a better choice.

This is worth a visit, great selection of goods and the cafe has a good menu. The food is excellent value, very tasty and a good choice. If you have an hour or two give it a go.

Had a pleasant sausage sandwich. Offered a choice of brown or white bread,whether we wanted it buttered and whether we wanted sauce. The sausage rolls looked delicious so will try them next time. Wasn't impressed by the coffee though.

What a little gem of a place !!, called in for lunch while shopping at the garden centre as the menu looked very tempting. Loads of choice and plenty of freshly made cakes. Everything about the place is lovely, the setting, atmosphere, presentation quality and quantity of the food, and the very efficient and friendly service. We had loaded potato skins and roasted veg soup followed by lemon cake - all delicious, will deff be back even if we don't actually need any plants !!

I met up with my sisters here for coffee and a light lunch. I have to say that I found the coffee a bit strong for my taste. If returning I would ask for a milder one. The cheese scones and soup were good.

This was our third venue for our breakfast tour of Norwich area which we have started in Wymondham.

We arrived for lunch today, to be fair, it was very busy. Waited in the queue for 20 minutes which wasn't a problem. Unfortunately there was little left to choose from on the menu when it was our turn to be served. Our first two options were sold out. We left and went elsewhere. A word to the manager of the cafe, please let your queuing customers know when something has run out. They can then make a decision on what else to choose or to go elsewhere. Very disappointed as we know this is a great cafe with delicious food.

This garden centre is expanding and improving each time I go, having need to pop into Wymondham for an opticians appointment on a chilly February Saturday morning with some time to kill we decided a coffee and sausage roll on the way would be a good start to the day. We were not disappointed the cafe was warm and the staff were welcoming and pleasant. The breakfasts looked generous and inviting but as we had lunch plans for later two lattes and sausage rolls were decided on. They were excellent warm served with some onion chutney the delicious crumbly pastry complemented the good quality meat filling. We both considered the scones and variety of cakes my wife a diabetic choose a cheese scone I tackled a generous slice of coffee and walnut cake we were both pleased with our choices which had been difficult to make from the wide selection of tasty looking treats available. We will certainly be back. If you are this way give it a try with the effort they are making they deserve to succeed.

Together with work colleagues we have previously nipped in for one of their excellent sausage rolls and coffee. As it was the Friday before Christmas and we were a bit earlier we decided to have a full English. It certainly was a plateful of tasty quality products that all in our group enjoyed. The coffee was of good quality, but it could have; as with many establishments; been hotter. If you pick the right tables you have plenty of room and good views of the centre and shop. The staff were busy but still chatty and pleasant. It is well worth a visit whether you are ‘shopping’ or not.

We stopped here this afternoon after a long walk. The cafe has a lovely atmosphere and has been decorated in a very tasteful way. We had two hot chocolates and a scone each. The scones were homemade and delicious. My only complaint is that the portion of jam could have been a little bigger! We will definitely return to try a breakfast or lunch in the future.

There is a lot to see and do for the children.... they can play with the moving Christmas Characters ...what a wonderful display.

A reasonable garden centre but this cafe was very poor in my opinion. My clotted cream tea had a dry, floury scone, a 28g portion of cream (hardly enough for 1 side of the scone), 1 pat of butter per scone and barely enough milk for 1 cuppa. We had to ask for more. Bearing in mind that Cornish clotted cream retails in a nearby store at £1.68 for 150g it was very poor value. My wife was told there was only filter coffee from 4.00pm as they were cleaning the 'coffee machine'. They didn't have a large range of teas. The crockery was very nice which didn't go far enough to make up for the fact the staff were cold and unwelcoming! Overall, a very poor effort which will not see me going back again.

Always lovely food and staff. Great garden centre and lovely gifts. But although the toilets have been improved recently I've yet to use the ladies to find it cleaned and the hand towel bin not overflowing on the floor. Then it would be perfect!

Well kept plants, lots of lovely plant related products as well as lovely selection of gift items, reasonable prices what's to to like?

First ate here early summer for a coffee and scone which was lovely. Cakes are lovely with good variety - hard to choose what to have whenever we go as they all so nice.

Went here for Breakfast as a group of 3 and ordered 3 cooked breakfasts (1 large and 2 small). The food was very nice and the price was competitive with other places for similar.

We popped in as its very local to us. I love the garden centre so thought we would try the new cafe.

Been several times for breakfast and lunch both times food is wholesome, tasty and well presented. We have never had a bad meal, always friendly staff, only one problem is, you need to get there early for lunch as its so popular and with good reason.

Visited the newly improved garden centre on Sunday morning for breakfast whilst visiting family in Wymondham. The last time we were here was just before Christmas so we saw a big change. The breakfasts were lovely, freshly cooked and good value, my only gripe was the fact that as I try to eat a healthy diet poached eggs were not an option. We go out for breakfast usually to garden centres on a regular basis and whilst this breakfast was very good, the choice options were quite limited. Coffee was very good and my little granddaughter certainly enjoyed her babycino! The shop is lovely with lots to see, very good for gifts, good selection of bird food, fresh eggs for sale too. Plant area has also been expanded and the choice and prices looked very good too! Will look forward to my next visit in a few months time when visiting my family again!

We were surprised by all the new additions to the garden centre, and the new cafe area is lovely, we went on a lovely sunny day and sat on the lovely patio, we had two coffees, that were delicious and a piece of cake between us, it was huge, and we had to leave some, but not because it wasn't nice because it was lovely, we just couldn't eat anymore. Great short stop visit if in the area.

Called today at 3.05pm, desperately needed something to eat and about £40 of bedding plants. Was told that they can't even make a cheese sandwich as food stops at 2.30pm.

We have been passing this garden centre for ages but after picking up something from Waitrose and having a bit of time on our hand just tried it by chance. Pulling into the car park it does not look much but once through the doors we were well impressed. We understand it has recently had a makeover. The shop was well stocked and the plant area was very impressive and well laid out. The only downside was the restaurant; we decided to only have a coffee as we thought the menu was a bit over priced. The coffee came in small cups which again we thought was quite highly priced compared with other centres we visit. We sat outside on their patio area which could be made a nice area however at that time it also doubled as a parking place for plant trolleys.

Visited the cafe for mid morning tea. The variety of cakes available (and I am a cake expert!) was excellent and they looked mostly home made. I had victoria sponge and my husband had neopolitan gateau - both were yummy. Very reasonably priced as well!

Our first visit to the new cafe at the Garden Centre and we weren't disappointed. The scones are amazingly good, good coffee and generous portion of toast (although more rustic style/homemade bread would be good).

My husband and I have had our lunch nearly every week since the cafe opened, but have to say now that we were very disappointed yesterday with our meal. We had toasted cheese and onion sandwiches one of which only had the slightest smear of cheese and no onion. We have also noticed lately the choice of cakes has been reduced and since the 'Winter Warmers' finished, which were very good value, there has been less choice of 'specials' and never the burger which is advertised on the website and which we had only once right at the beginning. I notice there have been a couple of reviews saying there is not much vegetarian choice, all I can say is that there is plenty of salad which seems to be a staple with just about every meal and I agree with the comment that the coleslaw is watery and tasteless.In fairness the young ladies who serve are very polite, quick and helpful, but as the kitchen seems to have deteriorated, we will be eating elsewhere in future.

We went to the Garden Centre about mid-morning, so we met the rush hour! We chose the small breakfast, with tea, and paid about £5 each for it. I have paid that elsewhere for a piece of pre-cooked bacon an egg and an apology of beans, and, frankly, wasn't expecting much else. We were served cheerfully and promptly, issued with cutlery, tea, cups and saucers and so on, and easily found a table. The small kitchen was busily turning out platefuls of breakfasts, filled rolls, salads and it wasn't too long before ours arrived. Not expecting much, I was truly surprised to see, basically, one of everything in front of me (apparently the Large is two of everything). Clearly it was all freshly prepared to order, and tasted like it - fresh, good ingredients, and just what the Doctor had ordered me away from. In all it was good food, and value for money. The tea, by the way, is made using proper Catering tea bags. This means you get a great flavour, but you may want to check on it if you like yours on the pale side.

Good food but lacking in vegetarian options. Jacket potatoes and soup are so boring. Why not vegetarian options on your specials board!

£6 for a toasted sandwich? Expected thick, fresh bread at least, but it was a sliced loaf. The jacket potatoes were okay, but drowning in cheap-tasting shop bought coleslaw. No veggie options in the cooked breakfast. Wouldn't return.

Very good garden centre, great variety of plants at reasonable prices. Also a lovely cafe highly recommend

The coffee shop has been added recently and is bright and cheerful. Breakfasts,fresh homemade cakes, scones and usual light lunch items (sausage rolls, sandwiches, jacket potatoes etc) at a reasonable price. There is also a roast dinner option on Sunday (I haven't tried this though). Staff are friendly and efficient.

This is my fifth visit to the garden centre cafe, and each time I've been I've said I'll come back again and again! It's clean and comfortable, and the staff are very friendly.

Thought we would give this a visit as was convenient at the time, but would not bother again.

Wonderful. Welcoming staff. Clean and bright ( the restaurant, AND the staff ), and tables wiped between customers. Stunned at being offered cooked meal and sweet for the same or lower price as most garden centre restaurants charge for the meal alone. A teapot full to the brim and not a half-pot as most places these days, and a free top-up. Fast service from polite staff. Delicious home-cooked meals. Such a change from other over-priced local garden centre cafes. An absolute pleasure to come here. A five-star rating really doesn't do it justice.
