Palmers Garden Centre

Came for lunch whilst getting the car washed. Settled for a coffee as refuse to pay the prices which have been ramped up considerably. Food has gone downhill too since price increases. A shame.

Don't buy their cakes Nearly £6 for a small fruit cake (4 slices) meant yo be spicy also. The fruit consisted of one cherry and no spice to taste. It was also as dry as a builders brick. Avoid .....

My son thoroughly enjoyed his full English breakfast, although it would be good if they started giving you the complimentary marmalade/jam mini pots. I had scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, which was also very nicely. Ver carta

Awful ! Treated our mum to a Sunday lunch. Food cold. Large lumps of gristle in the lamb. Overpriced £15.99 for a plate of canteen level food. You can't even choose what you want to land on the plate ...Feels like a conveyor belt...

Genuinely the worst sandwich I've ever had. How you mess up a cheese sandwich is beyond me, but the cheese was dry pregrated packet- tasting stuff and the butter was just mouthfuls of grease. Asked for a refund but was refused as I'd eaten half. Tried to force it down as we had a long car journeyaheadof us, but honestly, it made me feel sick. Do not recommend.

A group of 15 people from The Royal Osteoporosis Society met on Friday 15/9/2023 for an informal chat over refreshments. Special thanks to Deb who was on the door and directed people to where we were sitting. We are very grateful to you, and the other staff, who all helped make it a pleasant experience. We'll be back again soon. Thank you on behalf of us all. Irene. Ver carta

The restaurant used to be a favourite for our family and a regular one for Sunday lunch . What has happened to this place ? For Sunday lunch is more expensive than several local pubs about £3-4 more expensive and the quality is nothing like it used to be here. The portions sizes have shrunk and don’t ask for a substitute veg if you don’t like one of them , you’ll be told no we don’t replace a veg it comes as it comes . Plus you no longer get cauliflower cheese with every roast it seems only with beef now . Not worth the money .

A pleasant enough setting with waiter service and a good seating area. But.... The coffee was warm as it's served from a machine, so no good asking for extra hot. The cappuccino I ordered was missing at least an inch from the top and had a bitter taste. I ordered granary toast. Nice but packets of marmalade and butter are such a lazy gesture. I did mention to the waiter regarding the coffee. He offered to get me a replacement or some hot milk. I politely declined. A few negatives, hence the score. The rest of the trip was spent wandering the garden centre itself. No disappointment there :

I bought a galvanised watering can from here about a year ago and within a few months it starting to rust through at the bottom. I took it back (with a receipt) on Wednesday expecting a refund or credit note. By this time there was a large hole in the bottom of the watering can but I was told that it wasn't possible to refund me unless I spoke to the supplier who would authorise the refund. The lady dealing with this was supposedly a supervisor and was extremely rude. I asked why she couldn't authorise the refund and was told that they do not do this. She very reluctantly gave me the number to call of said supplier and expected ME to make the call by which time steam was coming out of my ear... Ver carta
