Yarnton Home & Garden in Cherwell

Looks lovely and is very equipped and more than you would want to see, however it’s very expensive. We used to visit a lot before the renovation, but now it’s turning out like most garden centre in the area and becoming a franchise with high costs. We had lunch in the cafe and was very average.

Met a friend with our two babies at the cafe here yesterday. Lovely coffee, but prices quite high, service good - a lovely bunch of ladies - but very slow. Desperately need another till as the queues got very long due to how much time it took to put each order through. Also an additional barista would make things a lot faster too. We didn’t eat, only had a couple of drinks (mostly due to the cost of the cakes/pastries/sandwiches etc.) so decided to eat what I had at home. Lovely weigh and pay area in the shop to help limit packaging, though again expensive. Particularly for the pasta options!

Went the cafe in Yarnton garden centre today had 2 lattes 1 pork sausage roll and 1 pasty coffee ok well over priced sausage roll and stale pastry. This cost £17.20 what a rip off. Not worth the money way to expensive I thought Burford garden centre was a joke but Yarnton is taking a liberty.😡😡

Very poor. I ordered fish and chips and they were so overcooked I had to leave most of it. VERY thick batter on the fish and the fish was so dry and overcooked it was chewy like a bad steak. No tartar sauce in the place and the lemon served with it was charred to within an inch of it's life so no juice left. Chips also very overcooked. I must say the pot of tea was excellent though.

Popped in for coffee & cake after browsing the garden centre. The cafe was quiet with plenty of staff milling around. A simple order of two coffees & two overpriced pieces of cake (the cheesecake slice was ridiculously small for the price) took almost 20 minutes to arrive.

Yarnton Magic Garden Soft Play. We very often take our Grandchildren to MAGIC GARDEN SOFT PLAY YARNTON (Oxfordshire) and everybody has a wonderful time. The Staff are so kind and friendly & helpful and the playspace is spacious and well thought out. It is a very happy atmosphere and everybody has an very enjoyable 2 hours. 3 two hour sessions a day. There is also an excellent cafe area with delicious food in the soft play for snacks and coffees/teas and soft drinks. They also have a garden playspace out the back with building bricks and benches. The children race about going in and out of tunnels and there is a special area for under two's. Also books and art and craft are included and you can have marvellous children's parties there as well. All organised by Magic Garden. It just has a great vibe. A Little Kitchen area too for creative play to make pretend food. I highly recommend Magic Garden Soft Play Yarnton Oxfordshire for a wonderful and creative time with your children. Everyone comes out smiling whatever age they are. It offers a wonderful and original support system for all the family. This really works. It is FUN in a safe space. Easy Parking too. Great, Great Place. Great day out. We all love it. 10 BIG stars and counting.

This garden centre has a varied selection of plants, indoors and outdoors, teamed up with stunning beautiful home ornaments, garden furniture, BBQs and more. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable. I felt safe as everyone was following the COVID guidelines. It was not busy. I will return to try the food once the pandemic is over.

Good centre with a wide range of stock. There are lots of other shops linked to the centre so well worth a bust.

Waited to be shown to our table then had to go to counter to order. One table near us emptied and we waited - no sign of the table being sanitised and our table had crumbs on it from last customer! When our drinks and snacks arrived I said dont you sanitise here. I said about the other table and ours. Lady said did we want to move? We didnt pick the dirty table its the one they gave us. She casually wiped the table that had been vacated but not ours. Hot chocolate came which was horrible (made with water) which I left. My friend had a scone which was hard through being in a microwave. Staff had masks on but not covering theirs noses and some wore gloves used handling food plus everything else. Dont bother going we wont again.

We visited Yarnton Garden Centre and thought we would have a nice lunch. WRONG.. Upon arrival, a very stoney faced woman asked us to Covid scan, which we did. Right, she said, you can not order food until 12 noon, we have no baguettes and one of you can go up to order. As it was 11.45, we went and sat at our assigned table and waited until 12 noon. I then went up to order. By this this time there was 12 people in the queue and the queue was growing fast. I got the front of the line to be told chef isn't ready yet and to step aside and wait with another 7 people who were also waiting for food. Finally , 15 minutes later, she took my order.. I just wanted a jacket potato with prawns & marie rose sauce only to be told, we can not put prawns on a jacket potato. At this point, I lost it and said forget it and we left. The service was shocking and the atmosphere very poor. Will not be going back

Tea n coffee ok but 2 scones at £4-50 were terrible. They fell apart and clagged in our mouths. Service was fine.

What a lovely garden centre, it has everything in there.Lovely cafe, great shoes at Pavers, lovely furnishings and clothing too. A great area first visit and I’ll be back. A soft play area for children and party rooms for hire too

Un "brunch" muy necesario y apreciado y justo a tiempo antes de las 11 am, ¡absolutamente delicioso! Espacio / distancia adecuado entre las mesas, así como una variedad de asientos para visitas individuales o en grupos pequeños. 10. 80 para un desayuno fabuloso (nada más pequeño por desgracia) y una taza de té. Muy buen servicio, instalaciones, muy limpio y rápido de servir. ¡Debo planificar una visita con la esposa y los hijos! Esto probablemente incluiría visitar el pueblo de Yarnton, un paseo encantador y ha pasado un tiempo desde mi última visita en 2017 (o más o menos)

Fui al nuevo restaurante renovado en el Yarnton Garden Center con mi esposo para tomar una taza de té en el feriado bancario de agosto, mientras esperaba que me sirvieran, noté una fila de platos con comida esperando para ser llevados a los clientes, uno del personal de la cocina caminaba diciendo "¡Ups!" mientras tomaba un chip del plato y se lo ponía en la boca y se lo comía. Sabía que lo había visto mientras seguía mirándome, solo negué con la cabeza, desearía haber dicho algo en ese momento, pero la vista trasera es algo maravilloso, ciertamente no les pediré comida si vuelvo a ir

Vine hoy a desayunar y quedé muy impresionado. La comida estaba muy bien presentada y tenía un sabor maravilloso. Mi papá, que es vegetariano, iba a pedir el inglés completo sin carne. El chef salió y se ofreció a agregar un poco de aguacate y queso halloumi para compensar la carne que faltaba y que mi papá disfrutó mucho. Este desayuno era tan bueno, si no mejor, que muchos hoteles de 5 estrellas. El servicio también fue muy amable. Como siempre, una visita muy agradable.

Lunchtime visit, Food is very overpriced, and portion not great. £4.50 for a sausage roll and tiny salad Could do better and need to do better

I've been a customer here for 20 years, and seen many changes over that time. The service is always very friendly, and the garden centre has a good range of everything. In short, it's impressive, and a lovely place to look around.

Ordered a set of garden chairs and a table in the middle of the Covid lockdown and they were delivered by 2pm the same day, incredible! Great sturdy table - stylish and weatherproof. Really recommend! Price reasonable and quality high.

I live in Bladon and 3 weeks ago placed an order for plants and compost with our local nursery - Yarnton Home & Garden. Despite numerous attempts to chase the order they have not replied to emails or telephone messages. Today by chance I’ve been able to get through only to find that all email orders are to be cancelled due to lack of stock. Why they could not inform me of this weeks ago and yet there website makes no mention of this and is still accepting online orders. Anybody local reading this would be better to try Bunkers Hill or Freeland nurseries. I’m sure they will get better service.

WOW.....what fantastic service! Order placed online for a BBQ at 8pm received delivery before 10am the following day. Thank you Yarnton 👍

Wow great service, beautiful plants and compost delivery this evening. Email sent earlier in the week, phone call received today to confirm which plants I’d like. Delivered a few hours later. Can’t thank you enough

Invitación de almuerzo de último minuto con un miembro de la familia.Sandwich y panecillos parecían aburridos y no muy atractivos, así que decidí comer comida calienteLos panqueques crujientes y el lado de verduras sonaban bien, oh cielos, qué decepciónse supone que están recién cocinados, creo que estuvieron sentados en la cocina por un tiempo, y las grasas y papas fritas también tenían un sabor horrible. Como aldeano, utilicé la cafetería con frecuencia la primera vez que visité desde el cambio de menú y personal, después de esta experiencia creo que necesito encontrar un nuevo lugar.

Restaurant always well patronised with changing dishes at reasonable prices. Fair standard of service

Fuimos al área de juego suave con nuestro pequeño. Gran ambiente hacen mucho y número limitado, así que no está demasiado lleno. Intenté ir al café. Esperé en una cola muy larga, me cansé de esperar. . . . izquierda. . .

Interrumpió nuestro viaje aquí para un repaso rápido, recordándolo desde hace algunos años. Se ha expandido masivamente y me alegra ver que el Centro de Antigüedades todavía estaba allí. Muy confuso para navegar, no miró a su alrededor extensamente debido a la falta de tiempo. Cafe parecía lo que podía hacer con una renovación, hecha para los sofás blandos, pero estaban absolutamente sucios y no podía obligarme a sentarme allí. Tenía un bollo que estaba recién horneado y un sándwich que estaba bien. Muchos mejores lugares para detenerse realmente

Soo for years we have visited a garden centre around Oxfordshire near Christmas to have lunch, look at decorations maybe buy a few. Where were the decorations as we couldn’t find them! Sadly lacking in Christmas cheer, won bee back! Food pricey, lack of variety only luke warm, we will not return again. Maybe you have been taken over by Scrooge or the grunge,!

Very disappointed with the service today taking my child to see Santa. My mother booked for me to take my two children to see Santa this afternoon. As it was my son was poorly so I only took my daughter. This should of been a magical time for the kids however the staff was extremely rude and unhelpful. They made me rally back to the stores customer service as I didn't have a ref number. She told me it should of been emailed. My mum Booked over the phone and was never asked for her email address. So on top of the rude staff my son who was unable to come didn't get his good boy certificate and present as once again didn't have the ref number. Such a let down. Staff really should try to be more helpful esp with events like this which have been paid for.

Went into the cafe, there was little to no selection on food, cakes etc.

Great for young children wanting to see Father Christmas and reasonably priced compared to other places like Millets. My granddaughter loved it and it was well organised and they have very friendly, helpful staff. We also booked soft play and it was a really nice set up and the food was good and reasonably priced. We liked all the different christmas decorations and plants that you could see and buy and all the extra christmas displays that children could look at. We will be back again and won't wait until next Christmas.

It can be a little confusing here finding your way around. I did eventually find the cafe (and then the loos which were some way away), but I am sure there were bits of the place I didn't find. I had coffee and cake at the cafe. They only had two types of cake, but they did have two types of scone as well. Service was a bit slow, but the seating area was comfortable and quiet.

Went for Sunday lunch, Having been many times before. Lunch today was very poor , Large Turkey dinner 2 small pieces of dry meat and 3small roast potatoes, vegetables were ok but very hard.

We went with my daughter and was told I had to either wait for 50 minutes for the current session to finish, which is totally ridiculous with only 3 children there. Otherwise we could have gone for 20 minutes for the same price of a 2 hour session. No thanks, I rather go elsewhere. I find the price for a soft play extortionate £7.50. go elsewhere!

Sunday lunch was just horrible. Undercooked broccoli and cauliflower. Yorkshire pudding tasted very sweet and I'm sure not made of batter. So many better places to eat, perhaps this is why restaurant only half full!

We went last weekend for a mooch around and booked our son into the play area. Now don't get me wrong the play area is amazing and I would highly recommend it. However I would also recommend bringing your own food as that's where it gets expensive and the quality was lower than expected.

I went to the new soft play, the Magic Garden, on Saturday and I was really impressed. The place was spotless, and they allow half an hour between each session to do a further deep clean throughout the day so that the standards are maintained for everyone. The soft play structure itself wasn't huge, but perfect for younger children and my 4 year old thought it was fantastic. The play garden was great and had loads to keep kids entertained.

Just booked our 3rd visit. Pre booking one of 3 bookable 2 hour sessions online means you won’t be disappointed like we were when we first went and found it was full. It also enables you to maximise your paid for session, which from our family set up, 2 grandparents plus a 1 and 3 year old, it’s actually £4:00 cheaper than Sprouts Barn since adults don’t pay.

I visited the softplay area today with my children (1yr & 4yr). The place is obviously very clean as it is so new. I really liked it and it had good quality things for the children to play with. The staff were lovely too and I felt they were keeping a good eye on things. I did find it slightly stressful keeping an eye on 2 children of different ages though as one wanted to be at one end, and the other at the opposite end, next time I’ll definitely take my husband! I think 4yrs is the upper limit really as I was very aware of the younger ones and didn’t want my overexcited son to knock in to them! I didn’t think there was enough there either to keep 4 yrs plus engaged for long enough.

My daughter and I have waited a considerably long time for the new soft play area at the garden centre to open. Now it's finally opened it's frankly a letdown. We arrived at around 11am on a Sunday, which we were charged £8.50 for as this is apparently classed as peak time- there were a total of 7 children there. At 11:50am I was then told the session would be ending at 12pm. At no point was I told at the till of this, or when I entered- if I had been I would not have paid £8:50 for 50 mins play. Yes, the area is new and clean and the equipment is good quality, but there's really not enough of it to warrant the entry price. Go to Sprouts at Millets in Frilford or Hilltop GC for a more cost-effective/cheaper soft play site

Best leak and potato soup! Efficient service. Hunters chicken for my friend was amazing. Home made sausage rolls are massive

For the past 2 years or so this has gradually been going downhill despite their attempts to upgrade. Staff attitude in the restaurant is poor, food pretty standard. Bought 2 coffees one of which they spilled before handing over and wiped the cup with a filthy cloth - luckily I noticed and asked for it to be remade. The women in front of us asked if they could sit outside but the doors were closed - the girl behind the till suggested they carry their tray through the garden centre itself to which we all said "well that's brilliant health and safety" - a shrug of the shoulders was all they got. Drastic improvement required - there are plenty of other garden centres to visit - we'll be keeping an eye on the reviews.

Good spacious car park, good restaurant. Plenty of varied concessions. Good range of plants and gardening equipment etc. Activity area for. children.

It’s good to see a choice of vegetarian meals available, but it’s got to taste good! Certainly at something close to £12 for a main and two side vegetables.

We always come here when we visit our son in Oxford and we are never disappointed, this time there was more in the home department so very happy and the quality of the plants is excellent. We will be back.

On the occasions we have partaken in the food and drinks at this cafe, we have found it to be overly priced for the quality.

Visited on Mothers Day this year and decided to have Sunday lunch though I must say previous lunches here have been a bit hit and miss.This was awful,we went for the beef and it was soo tough it was inedible.Normally would complain but we had been visiting the local cemetery and the day was rather emotional and not really in the mood to cause a fuss but we won't bother with a Sunday lunch again.

We came into the cafeteria today only wanted two cups of tea , there was no teaspoons out only dirty ones I was offered, no napkins , and nearly every tables had dirty plates and cups still sitting there they hadn't been cleared at all , it seems to of gone down hill rather a lot from the previous owners , I won't be going in there again , and I should know how good it used to be as I once worked in that restaurant

A nice place to spend a bit of time for a browse and good value quick lunch. Always take along my 80 year old mother who finds it very easy to get around. Lots of variety to look at - not just plants and gardening equipment. Great parking. Lunch is always good. You queue with your tray to be served which isn't always my ideal and can be slow during busy times of the day. That said there is a lot to choose from. Very good value for very generous portions. This week I had their soup of the day which was Mulligatawny and it was excellent. Friendly staff everywhere.

A great improvement over the last year or so. Such a pity the animals and big fish have given way to yet more clothing concessions. The cafe is good basic fare. The best bit is the resurfaced parking and easy access for wheelchairs. The antiques centre is well worth a visit.

Met family here for coffee this morning at 10:30. The waiter approached our table to collect the empty cups and I hadn’t quite finished my coffee so hung on to my cup. He then proceeded to grill me: Saying, dont worry i’m not after your drink; did I want the chocolate; that he didnt work there he was just an acency worker; he knew me from somewhere; where did i live; kept saying he knew me from clubs and hotels locally. etc etc. It was very intrusive and annoying. I might have told him to go away if I had been there without the family. Have given it a poor rating due to this experience.

I really like visiting Yarnton garden centre, especially the resturant for coffee and cake, unfortunately their was not a good choice of cakes , it's a treat to a lot of peopl so give us a choice, certainly not as good as my last visit, the coffee was lovely, the seating area was such a mess horrible green chairs haphazardly arranged, I don't exspect the lovly leather chairs we had before but a little effort would help, what is the scruffy curtained off area for staff lockers in the corner, it' just needs a bit of thought, I hope when I visit again for the Wednesday carvery it will be ok, the garden centre and shopping is fantastic well worth a visit.

Now they have finished of the tarmac drive and carpark its well worth a visit, got everything you need for garden, plus clothes, antiques, furniture, books games, childrens play area, fish, nice restaurant

This place has really improved in recent times. The car park is now really good. We walked around the garden centre shop looking at the bargains and the drifted down to the clothes shops before going for lunch. The menu was excellent and reasonably priced.

Ate again in the restaurant and much better. All new staff and food and standard of service good. Much needed will use restaurant again

Popped in to see Father Christmas with my two boys. This has got to be the best display we have seen in years. My boys were not rushed through, the elves were really chatty and friendly. Santa and the set up was brilliant.

I have food allergies and the printed list of allergens said the jacket potato with prawns/mayo was free of milk. However upon asking if they could actually check this and let me see the ingredients of their mayonnaise the chef very kindly appeared and agreed to check the mayonnaise - he returned to say it had milk in it, but suggested he make up a sweet chilli sauce in place of the mayonnaise. It was delicious and many thanks to him for being so diligent and creative.

We have just returned from having breakfast here and I have to say how wonderful it was. I had contacted Gary a few days earlier as we were going to be a party of 7 adults and 2x one year olds and wanted to know what breakfast options they had and if we needed to. Ok. Gary quickly came back and was very helpful. They do a 5 item or 8 item breakfast, or things on toast, pastries, gluten free cakes, salads and filled baguettes. All looked great. We went for the 8 item breakfast and it was very good. We were still there at 11.30a.m when people starting coming in for their Sunday roast and that looked good. It is only about 10 minutes from. Lenheim Palace and we’ll worth a visit.

I made quite a few demands on the cafe's team, and they were amazing in accommodating my vegan needs. So helpful. Tasty food. Clean and tidy eating area.

A couple of months back this cafe had lost its way but now it is superb and the cavers today was 100%

What a great place, lots of choice, very friendly staff, clean and tidy, plenty of tables so getting into the restaurant area for a bite to eat was not a problem. It was a bit of cold day so I decided against the normal sandwich for lunch and went straight for the carvery. Good choice of meats, I wasnt sure which one to have, so a slice (very generous slice) of each. The veggies were good, lots of choice too. And of course, perfect yorkshire pudding too.

waiting for breakfast 26 minutes , with a empty café , arrives not as ordered swopted mine from another member of public , cold by now I could of cooked it better myself and im not a cook , , this place has gone down so much never eat there again ,

This cafe used to be very good home cooked great value for money but since the new owners have taken over it has gone well down hill with poor service, long waits for food and choiice of food very poor. Hve been told it is going to get better so lets wait and see as at presnt I would not visit again

Oh dear, oh dear, what has happened?

Went for an afternoon tea with my wife this afternoon. Was great value for money at only £14.95 for 2. You get a nice selection of sandwiches a freshly baked scone (baked that morning) also a good selection of cakes and not small pieces either and a choice of either tea or coffee.

We come here 3 or 4 times a year. Having a mooch about always some good plants on sale. We normally visit the antique place next door too.

Have visited twice this month to eat at the restaurant. The first time they couldn't serve me a panini because it was a Wednesday & they do a carvery on that day so haven't got time to make any. So I went today,Thursday,and they still couldn't make one because,they said,they were short staffed. Why have it up on their board if they don't intend to make them??? Won't be going there again in the near future!!!

Visited today and was quite disappointed with the place.Felt quite tired and lacked character. Cafe tables were unclean, hot chocolate was poor and expensive. Whole place felt like a big old greenhouse trying to be a garden centre and shopping outlet. Only tidy bit was the well laid out car park. We won't be going back.

my wife and myself pop in here regulary,for breakfast, very good servive the guy on the counter is always helpful and chatty, eggs on toast for my wife arrived,well buttered toast as asked for,egg was done just right. my bacon roll was very nice as always.defininatley come here again, the lady who bought our breakfast out to day was nice and helpful to my wife who is in a wheelchair.thank u

Visited today for lunch, waited for some time before first order arrived which was wrong. Table next to us had been waiting 3/4 hour for their sandwiches which didn’t bode well. Eventually received 2 out of 3 items. Gluten free option acceptable, Bacon,Brie panini v good but other not great. Quite pricey and generally let down by slow service.

Went to have a look about. Garden centre well stocked. Good choice of concessions liked the range. But cafe!!! I wouldn't bother. Long long queues. We only wanted a coffee but didn't bother and went elsewhere

My wife and I visited today for a spot of shopping and lunch. We ordered 2 cheese and tomato baguettes. After waiting 25 minutes I asked a lady who was clearing tables where our food was. The young lady was so nice and apologetic and explained she didnt work for the restaurant but had come from her office and was just helping them to get over the busy period while they were waiting for the new manager to start. Within minutes she brought our baguettes over, fresh coffee and a slice of cake each. We were ready to leave but we stayed enjoyed our lunch and cake and spent to next hour deciding which plants to purchase. 5 in the end! So thank you for great customer service. Im sorry we didnt catch her name but she changed what could have been a disaster into a lovely afternoon. Steve

Just arrived back from what we thought would be a quick lunch out.

I came here with my mum while we were in a 'let's go to antique places and have lunch' phase. We've been here many times over the years, this trip saw much improved parking and generally a much bigger place (quite easy to get lost).

Stopped for a browse whilst in the area, great place for the garden lovers, great selection of plants - it was busy, so I can only say they are doing what the customers want, nice visit.

Changed immensely since my last visit. Car park much improved plenty of concessions to visit. The Garden Centre seemed well stocked and priced ok. Access to the site is still terrible I always hope not to meet a lorry

I have visited this place numerous times my last visit was terrible queued to order food no trays had to ask for one customer in front said she got hers of a table not cleared when they brought some they were very wet. Ordered a egg mayo baguette lots of people ordering hot food eventually get to pay desk at 1236 hrs paid for mine sat down with my coffee after 10 mins member of staff came and said we have no brown baguettes (what a laugh) its a resturante, only white I said that's fine thinking I will get it now , no its another 20mins before I get my cold food Baguette very poor from ordering then paying it over 30 mins for cold food...the food was very good, nicely presented but the wait was poor

My first visit here this week lots of interesting things to see, apart from the garden centre there is a selection of outlets in the shopping village. There is also a restaurant if you want a coffee or a meal. The antique center is well worth a visit with lots of interesting items on show from the many antique dealers who sell there.

I have given this three stars as the actual whole thing is ok with shops to visit (love the works!) and thought that two stars would be unfair to them. The cafe, however, left a lot to be desired last time and I felt the staff a bit rude. I have come here lots before but never had hot food. I wanted to get a sausage roll and asked two people behind the counter who totally ignored me eventually another customer said I had to go to the gap between the counters (a metre away!) when I stood there suddenly I became visible! They were changing over to lunch but they still could have said to move to the gap rather than just ignore me. Having ordered this I then had to repeat my drinks order three times and there was a huge queue, particularly as only two people served out of the five behind the counter. Not impressed. The food and coffee was nice but I felt the whole experience was frustrating and a tad stressful with my one year old in my arms. (No offer to help get drinks to place so I had to secure child in highchair and shuttle drinks back). Other customers were unimpressed too. Mostly I think that staff were there but not helping.

I concur with the reviewer concerning difficulties in manouvering wheelchairs and rollators in the seating area. Also it is now much more difficult to exit the garden centre since they stopped people exiting from the door on the south side near TheWorks concession, which is the nearest to the disabled parking and the nearest entrance. You now have a long uphill trudge to the main exit and then back down the side of the building and along the front. My mother who uses a rollator said "Never again". Hence Millets or Chilton from now on.

I have visited Yarnton nurseries many many times over the years. Both on my own, with family but mostly with my Nan. Over the years my Nan’s mobility has reduced and she’s recently had to use a wheelchair. I’m aware the garden centre has undergone a refurb recently, (Car Park is much improved for a start!). However the coffee shop was an issue. They have crammed more tables in and lots of plants! I can see what they are trying to do but I felt the plants were a little extreme! As soon as I started walking towards the main seating area I knew I’d struggle trying to manoeuvre around the tables and chairs. If we weren’t attacked by a plant, we we tripping over chairs. I finally managed to get us a table but it felt a tight squeeze. Whilst waiting for our food (50 min wait today!), but we warned about the lack of staffing so... what can I say... note** our chips came out stone cold but due to the long wait already I didn’t want to bother staff for a bowl of hot chips! A lady in a wheelchair came around the corner. I could see instant panic on her face when she realised she would struggle around all the tables and chairs, and said herself she hadn’t visited since the refurb. She highlighted that it was much easier to get about before, which I agreed with.

Sunday lunch time Busy restaurant Sunday roast chicken and pork Other hot food available Choice of salads and jacket potatos Resonably priced Only downside long wait to pay Need more staff

Waiting 35 minutes for a toasted shows that there are big problems at this place! I asked for a refund because the staff confirmed that my sandwich still hadn't been cooked after that time.

I went in for a cuppa tea and we waited in line, then all of a sudden a ringing alarm went off and we got asked to leave, people were standing outside with their teas and food while they sorted it out, then once back in, there was no apologies for what had happen! We were stood outside for 10 to 15 minuets, I’m old I can’t do that at my age!

I love bringing my in laws to yarnton, the antiques centre is brilliant and a must see! Sad that they rearranged the layout so you can’t exit the antique centre and go straight into the garden centre, but have to walk back outside and go round. Great that they have a hobby craft here. The cafe has a good selection of cakes, the angel sparkle cake being my favourite. There’s a ‘creche’ kids area in the cafe too which is helpful. Loads of plants, and all the garden accessories you could hope for.

This garden centre is awful now, full of clothes outlets.The staff in the tea room are very rude and unhelpful, need customer service training. Will not be going back

Terrible place, waited ages for our soup 2 baguettes and sausage roll and chips just to be told they had no sausage rolls and would our grandson like chicken nuggets and chips instead only for the chips to be stone cold. The baguettes only had chopped up chicken in them with no salad at all. Terrible place and would avoid at all costs.

Waited 25 mins for a baguette. Total chaos in restaurant. System for serving food needs sorting. One till closed. Toilet was filthy had not been cleaned for ages it was disgusting. Refurb work going on but awfull visit and wont be going again. Sort it out

We visited on Sunday Afternoon at approx 14.30,where we ordered to 2 Roast Dinners and 2 teas . we paid at the counter and took a seat and waited for the dinners to be brought to our table and we waited nearly 30 minutes.the staff seems to be having a general chit chat among them selves. Just as we went to inquire where the dinners were,2 young girls brought them to us, apologising that someone had put our ticket for the meals in the bin. There was no yorkshire puddings on our plates so we ask for them, a young girl brought them to us on a plate picked them up with her hands and put them straight onto our plate, So SHOCKED what happened to food hygiene?

We called in for a quick cuppa and a tea cake. Queued for 20 mins before finally getting served. The system was awful. After waiting another 15 mins we left. Never got the teacake.

After spending far too much money within the store and concessions we decided to have a bite to eat in your Cafe / Restaurant before visiting Santa's grotto (we had about an Hour until my son was taking part in a fun run)

Went on a Monday arrived at 12, already very busy queued for a long time placed order and you have not got to the tills or got a table before the staff are standing there with your food , and by the time you're sat down your food is cold , there must be a better system . And also there is a limited disabled parking, there is no disabled parking up near the pet store entrance it is all down the other end of the car park , and also the drive way is full of pot holes which you would not exspect being next to a builders yard which they must sell gravel to fill the hols , on the plus side the staff seam very helpful

The title says it all really. It is worth a visit. We go with our two toddlers and enjoy looking around. The fish shop and Christmas village are the highlight at the moment. I’ve been told their Santa’s grotto for a donation is great considering it’s a free, optional donation service. A super idea to have a grotto available like that as it can get expensive. The queue is big though which you would expect. The cafe is ok. We generally get hot drinks and cake and they are reasonable. I find the traybake items are generally tastier as the cake I’ve tried was a bit dry. The rocky road was delicious! There is a play section which is a great idea as it keeps the children happy but it needs some nicer toys in it. They all look like they are carrying a lot of germs and I’m not normally concerned about sharing toys. Some of the shops I’m not interested in but the farmhouse food bits are nice although can be pricey. The works is always worth a look and I often buy cheap books there. All in all it’s a good place to take children.

Average range of garden plants, on the higher end of normal pricing, intermingled with pleasant and approachable staff. Other ranges available within the centre from craft stores, wine shop, pet items and clothing make it a good all-rounder.

After a very distressing hospital visit we decided to call in for a snack and walk around. The place is now saturated with clothes outlets plus a large wine shop, etc. Lighting is very poor and the perspex roof hadn't even been cleaned before putting stores in. Its a complete mess and has been ruined. The cafe had nothing except sausage roll and cakes. All looked very dry and unappetising. We had 2 teas and 1 coke £5.10. We won't be returning yet we used to go regularly

This is the junction between garden centre and nursery where the main concern is plants and not cards ,cups of bland tea and expensive trinkets. Well worth the trip out.

I visited yarnton nurseries today with 15 friends there was lots of little shops all under the same roof from clothing to books gardening etc and a pet corner and play area for the children mostly all under cover so good place to take children then finish of with a lovely meal in their restuarant meals a very reasonably priced quite a good selection especially if you have there specials of the day i have eating problems the cheff came out and went through ingredients of items to help me choose what was suitable for me also great parking area also antique centre again lots of different ones under same roof so as you can see lots of things to suit all taste and if you just want to get a new bathroom or shed they have areas in car park to pick these items from and see things on display maybe all you want to do is just go and have a nice cup of coffee or tea and a cake sitting on a nice comfy sofa so yes you can even do that too

It's very expensive but staff are helpful in the garden section and knowledgable. Too many little shops been crammed in losing its charm. Moshula shoe shop has a bad selection of sizes kept. It's lost the feel of a garden shop and the restaurant seems to have more importance

What a great shame they have abandoned parking for people with disabilities. Pushing/pulling a wheelchair over the water filled potholes was a considerable trial. But we bought a great hanging basket, and enjoyed the antiques centre. The coffe e and filled baguette were brilliant.

Yarnton Garden Centre had an insert in the Oxford Times that included an offer of a cream tea for £2.50. As we go across there occasionally, we decided to head over there the following afternoon.

Good sized garden centre with lots of outlets stores. Cafe was very busy when we arrived and it was confusing to work out what the rules were! Lady on the till was a bit of an old battle axe, felt like I was getting told off by my granny! Coffee was good, comes with a chocolate Think we will come back when less busy!

Despite the recent refurbishment, Yarnton Garden Centre has not improved. In fact the layout is more confusing and the contents just as disappointing.
