The Fernery Cafe - Carta

Beautiful surroundings within Leaf Creative. The staff were helpful and attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunches which were homemade, tasty and fresh. Great to be able to then shop for plants inside and out. Wonderful attention to detail makes it a lovely experience.

I'm reviewing today because there were different staff who were a joy to be served by especially Jan, I thing her name was. Staff are usually somewhat brusque and you can feel you do not exist you wait so long to be served but not this Thursday (10th Aug). Instant service with a smile and humour. I hope this is a permanent change.

You walk in and immediately the first thing you see is a tree in a tub which has a £999 price tag. Then you walk into a massive EGO trip. Nothing to buy. You pick up a candle. £20!? Same thing Home Bargains has for £4. They don’t even try and hide the import boxes from China and India!! Nothing from UK!? Lunch!? Ew. Cold and full of vegan ****. No basic plants either. All round. If you like a good day out at a garden centre Avoid. Ver carta

Booked a table for Sunday lunch 1.30pm. Table was dirty, given menus (Sunday roast dinner menu and normal one); when they finally came back to take our order was told, sorry no Sunday lunches. Tried to order a salad... sorry no salads either, just soup, quiche or a sandwich!! Ordered drinks, only brought 3 glasses for 4 people, came back after 10 minutes with the final glass which was the size of a thimble! Soup was OK when it finally came but overall service was abysmal and not what I expected to eat for a Sunday lunch with guests.

Just been to Leaf Creative for lunch. Or at least we tried to. Waited 25mins before our order was taken, and only then because we had to go and ask to be served. Waited another 15mins thought our drinks would arrive. They were serving people that had come in after us. Used to really like going there, but noticed the last couple of times the service has been terrible. We got up and left in the end. Nice set up, but the café lets id doen. Definitely need to organise their café better. We won't be going back in a hurry. We do use the places in Ross, but sometimes fancy a change.

The most amazing Sunday lunch ever. Faultless. Staff are lovely even though some were in training so have a little patience it’s worth the wait. Have been to many other places in the area and been bitterly disappointed with the quality and cost. Also a fabulous environment to relax and browse the goods which are clearly carefully chosen. No tat here. We had been to the pumpkin carving with our grandchild and friends earlier and such care was taken to make it a wonderful experience for the kids. Looking forward to other events in the future recommend highly you won’t be disappointed. Ver carta

First visit here, came for a light lunch. Staff were polite and helpful but the food left a lot to be desired. My Chai latte was lovely but my partner's coffee was awful. The cup was full to the brim with no room for the milk. I ordered the beef, mushroom stilton panini with salad, crisps and home made coleslaw. It was cold in the middle, the cheese hadn't melted and the beef was tough. The coleslaw was weird, no flavour and the salad was just a couple of tomatoes and green leaves, no dressing. My partner's ham and tomato sandwich was very basic with the same salad. The surroundings are nice, with an orange tree by our table but the food was very basic and mine hadn't been toasted for long e...

Been here for Sunday lunch twice now. And, we will definitely be returning. There are lots of reasons for our loyalty. 1. The food is lovely. Such a good value Sunday Lunch (we always book in advance . 2. The environment is so restful. I love Leaf Creative. I could just sit there for hours. 3. Angela. This is the most important reason. ALL the staff are terrific, without exception. BUT, the care which Angela takes is extraordinary. We had some quite elderly people in our party, (and a vegan! Angela makes care and attention to her guests look effortless. And she offers this attention to detail to everyone without exception. Even the four legged friends are well looked after. Thank you, Angela...

Visited Leaf Creative Garden Centre to buy a few items and decided to stay for lunch. First and foremost, we found the staff to be very helpful especially Carolyn (I hope I’ve got your name right), who was nothing short of brilliant. Very warm and welcoming with excellent customer service skills! For lunch, my wife chose the Tomato Mozzarella Meze Platter which she thoroughly enjoyed and I chose the Salmon, New Potato and Water Cress Salad which was absolutely delicious. In particular, the capers in the salad are the best I have ever tasted. I mentioned this to Carolyn and she very kindly provided me with a small tub to take home. It’s a real pleasure to visit a place where the staff are che... Ver carta
