Garden Cafe Lawford

Visit most Sundays the food is absolutely lovely everything is freshly cooked.Adam the chef amazing young man.Always making sure the food is to everyone's liking.Tina and the girls waiting the tables always kind helpful. Always look forward to Sunday lunch and the lovely welcome we receive.

We ordered cheese scones. Waited an age for them to come. When they did they had been reheated to the point of being hot. I tried to cut it in half but it crumbled into pieces. I tried one piece and it had no cheese taste whatsoever. It was stodgy and awful. I left it. A waste of money. I won’t visit there again.

Visited for a family birthday meal. Menu has a wide selection for every occasion, from baguettes, paninis and jacket potatoes to 'pub ' food staples like pie, lasagne and burgers. There 's also a display of cakes at the counter. Portion sizes were good value for money and believe all we had was freshly cooked. We certainly enjoyed our meals and would definitely visit again.

Today myself and 4 of my friends visited the cafe for coffee and a chat . Unfortunately the the scones and Victoria Sandwich were inedible. The fruit scones were hard on the outside and doughy in the centre, the cheese scones were devoid of cheese except on the top. The only good thing about the food was that the tea cakes were okay. We had 5 Lattes 3 looked like coffee the other 2 looked like coloured milk This is not the first time we have been to the cafeteria. The last time we also had problems but we decided that perhaps things had changed. Unfortunately not. WILL NOT BE GOING AGAIN.

I have been coming to this café for years, since it opened. Of late, it hasn 't been nearly as good as it used to be. After yesterday 's visit, I shan 't be going ever again. When we asked for a second cup of coffee, we were told we couldn 't as the machine had been cleaned out. Then an extremely rude member of staff cleared our table in a very abrupt and stroppy manner and announced they were closing and said we have lives outside of this place too you know. Well just as well you do, because if you continue to speak to customers in this manner, there won 't be a business left to work for.

We have eaten here on numerous occasions and the food and service has been spot on. We hadn't been for sometime so I wanted to check up to date reviews which were terrible! we still decided to go as alot of these reviews you will always get the negatives written but often the satisfied customers don't think to review!. SO HERES OURS! we had a lovely lunch the food portions were huge, perfectly cooked and very tasty. The staff were polite and accommodating. Definitely going again and not put off by a few peoples negative experiences. We sat outside in the shade under the wisteria as it was a very hot day . Ver carta

Booked a Sunday lunch for 3 it was inedible. I went to the cash desk and quietly told the young member of staff that the meal was unacceptable and may I please just have a sandwich to replace it. It was obvious from the waitress's demeanour that she totally understood! Went back to my seat a woman, wearing the filthiest overall, appeared at my shoulder and proceeded to harangue me, refused to replace the meal and barred us! Actually, barring us was a bit unnecessary as we would never go back. The irony is that there is a notice on the wall by the loos telling customers to let staff know if anything isn't up to scratch BE WARNED DON'T!!!!!

Most unwelcoming to someone with a gluten dietary disability. The welcome I received from the counter staff was really negative and unkind and left me feeling very hurt. They said they don 't do gluten free food and they couldn 't guarantee no cross contamination as their kitchen was very small. When I said that I understood and accepted that limitation the answer was Well, I suppose you had better sit down and see if you can find something you want then but I don 't think we can help you Gluten intolerance is not a choice but a disability. If the restaurant staff refused to help someone in a wheelchair in a similarly intolerant way they would be in contravention of the Disability Act.

Have been here many times over the last few years, both pre and post Covid. It has always been very enjoyable with great food and at a decent price. However, after a visit today we won't very going back. My wife ordered the quiche and when it came out it was not bigger than a small piece of pizza with four tiny new potatoes and some salad. £15 was the suggested price. On previous visit the quiche has been huge, homemade and very tasty. We complained and ended up having a sandwich which was far more substantial. I dont know if there are new owners but whatever the case is, things were not as before. I also noted the cake portions were significantly less than before but the same price. A 330ml... Ver carta
