If you want plants, then come here. It does have a nice café and a shop with the usual gardening type gifts, but the main thing does these plants. And lots of them. Friendly service and good advice.

Quite a bit of a wait, they are overwhelmed with guests. Prices are on the high side but it’s worth it, scrumptious food that looks presentable. Service is lacking but understandable as they were busy.

This has got to be one of the best cafés that I have been to! We had scones (fruit & cheese), plus seeded flapjack, which were fresh and completely delicious. We had coffees alongside, which had a great flavour. There was an extensive and tempting list of hot food and lunches, plus the breakfasts sounded amazing! The café setting is beautiful, with large leafy plants potted up around and filled with light from the atrium-style ceiling. The chairs were comfortable to sit on - they had decent back support! There is additional outside seating. Everywhere was precision cleaned and maintained, with plenty of staff on hand to clear, serve and answer questions. We had a delightful waitress called Mollie, who was polite, friendly and very helpful; thx Mollie! Dogs are welcomed, too. Sparkling clean and thoughtfully-decorated, pleasant toilets (the one I used, anyway!) very close by, including Disabled and baby-changing facilities. There's also a Bakery so you can see and choose your cakes, plus wonderful sourdough loaves to buy (made from Gloucestershire's Shipton Mill specialist flour) - which we did: .

Lovely cafe! The coffee is especially nice and the staff were very friendly. Had a vegan brownie and it was *chef's kiss* The wait was a bit longer than I expected but not unreasonable considering how busy it was

Lovely cafe - clean, friendly service and great food. Have eaten here many times, breakfast, lunch, cake and coffee, and a Mother's Day afternoon tea, which was lovely.

Really nice garden centre café with food food and friendly service. Plenty of choice although the hot food stops quite early but plenty of paninis and baguettes to choose from.
