Notcutts Garden Centre

Staff welcome 5* Food 5* However Coffee completely lets the whole experience down. Coffee has a very bad twang to the taste not burnt however I feels a cheaper coffee bean is used…..please ask people their options on the coffee taste.?

Really enjoyed lunch last week. Shepherds Pie and Chicken Casserole with dumpling really tasty. They were on the Specials being discounted for two people. Winter Warmers. It's been a while since we have been but the food here has really improved.

Just for tea and scone snack on this visit. with your membership you get a couple of drinks per month free as well as10% off items bought in the garden centre, well worth the £10 annual fee.Some days can be very good food available other days very differant. dosent seem to be a very consistant service.

We had some lunch here at the weekend. My last experience wasn't very good, (with a prawn baguette), so this time I tried a cherry scone. It was delicious, very big, and crusty on the outside and soft in the middle.... just perfect. I had some tea with it too. It was good that they didn't charge extra for decaffeinated tea.

Had a walk around this nice garden centre before we decided to have a snack in the cafe as feeling peckish. I had the turkey brioche sandwich which was nice but expensive at £9.95. My partner had the cream tea at £5.95 with the scone being tasty. Also I had regular latte at £3.20. Nice place run by friendly staff which helped pass a few hours of our day.

The restaurant offers a good variety on the menu, we ordered the jacket potatoes with beans salad. The dishes were well presented and the restaurant was clean. It was a busy place and all the meals served looked tasty, everyone seemed to be enjoying their food. The dining area was large and there was also an adjoining conservatory. A special thank you to the friendly waitress with a lovely smile. Ver carta

The restaurant is spacious with lots of natural light and comfortable seating. The lunch options were good overall, but there weren't many exciting choices for vegetarians. It was nice to have bottles of tomato ketchup, BBQ sauce, and vinegar available. Although my baguette looked appetizing, it was lacking in flavor. Perhaps a stronger sauce would have improved it. The service was good and friendly.

We came to the Garden centre to have a lovely Sunday trip and the it was all going fine until we entered the restaurant. The staff are rude, the coffee is cold and when our food arrived (two ciabattas and one Soup) to which we were not given any cutlery and when my sister went to get some cutlery we were only given one spoon, a fork and a knife to share between four people and they were dirty! The service here is absolutely horrible and the staff really need to be taught a few lessons in customer service.

It is such a shame that a lovely building for a restaurant is spoilt due to high prices. The cakes on offer are mass produced oversweet and bland. They do serve sausage rolls but are as elusive as Big Foot as for the last year of visits (about 5 times) they have been 'sold out '. I have not tried the main meals as they seem expensive. I like visiting the garden centre as they have a wide variety of plants that are good quality. Take my advice and visit The Harley Cafe next door, the food is excellent and the service is spot on.
