Gardeners Retreat Coffee Shop

We arrived at the restaurant and were seated at a table where we waited a long time to be served. A woman asked a young man to serve us, but we still did not receive any service. One employee stood by a cash register with his arms crossed the whole time we were there, just feet away from us. The service was terrible, well actually there was no service at all. We decided to leave and as we were walking out, the woman explained that they did not serve us because our children were not seated. However, our children had been seated for the first 20 minutes of waiting. We found the experience to be very rude and we will not be returning.

What a wonderful place to eat! Have been for the first time this week and found everything to be first class. We’ve actually been twice this week! I can’t find any fault with anything. A wonderful menu, great staff and fantastic food. I highly recommend this place and it’s a great garden centre too. Looking forward to going again. I’ve heard that the breakfast is great!!

During the Christmas holidays, my husband and I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant. Despite the hustle and bustle, the service was exceptional. The food was of high quality and offered at a great value. We highly recommend this place and look forward to returning in the future. Thank you.

Great food great prices, garden centre is great. This is a garden centre that understands what the customer wants. Great plants in the main watered regularly. Also has a great shopping area for those bits you did not know you wanted. It’s a great place to chill and enjoy what is on offer

This was a delightful way to end a visit to the garden centre. The cafe is spacious and well-lit, offering a fantastic variety of sponge cakes, pastries, and hot dishes. The portions of sponge cake were generous and delicious. The English Breakfast tea was perfectly brewed. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!
