The Palm House - Carta

Had some great visits here, children love coming here. Always have felt welcomed, food and drink always spot on. Recommend a visit.

Foot had to be sent back, small portions and coffee was cold. Well overpriced would not go back and looking at other reviews I’m not the only one

This is a great place to take young children on a rainy day. The play area and toys could use some updating, but our son still had a great time. The food was tasty and it's a convenient spot for parents to unwind while their kids play. Ver carta

I had a terrible experience at this restaurant. We went for the Mermaid experience, but it was not well-organized. We ended up leaving before my grandchildren could participate in any of the activities. The hot drinks and breakfast sandwiches we had were not enjoyable and, in my opinion, way too expensive. Unfortunately, we will not be coming back.

Located near Radipole Lake and next to Melcombe Regis car park, this cafe can be found in the old Council greenhouse. They offer a small menu of hot and cold drinks, as well as a spacious play area for children to enjoy. It may not be the most peaceful spot for a drink, as many of the kids are young and loud, but the coffee is perfect for warming up on a chilly day. The staff is friendly and will bring your order to your table, even though you place it at the counter. Despite the noise from the children, the cafe is clean with plenty of seating options for adults, including comfortable sofas.

The pictures are certainly not recent entrance is unkempt with very tired looking furniture. We only wanted a coffee and were waiting over 30minutes and then we had to ask,we also ordered a pancake for our Grandson which he hardly ate and a guy on another table had also ordered pancakes for his kids witch they did not eat and he complained and was given his money back, perhaps we should have done the same. The tables were not cleaned and cleared and the toilets, well you would have to be desperate. The staff appeared to be very young and inexperienced, which is a shame because it appears to be aimed at families with young kids, but whoever owns the place really needs to sort their staff out.

We decided to try the palm house as somewhere different. We went around 945/10 ish. It was next to empty with only one other table of three. We waited for nearly an hour for our food. We ordered nothing spectacular. Just small breakfasts and an omelette and there where only 5 of us. When it came out there was no apology or recognition of how long it took. It was also way overpriced for what you actually got. The toast was cold and looked nothing more than Asda smart price for £1.60. I don’t mind paying those prices if what you get is quality and worth it. I think it’s just a place to go if you’ve got small kids as it looked like it had a good area set aside for them. But for a group of frien...

I used to go to the Palm House with my 2 Yr old once or twice most weeks prior to lockdown, and we can 't wait for it to reopen. In one wing you 'll find the best play cafe in the local area (in my opinion . It 's laid out in such a way that you can keep an eye on your kids from the comfort of your table or couch, rather than having to chase them around, meaning you can drink your deluxe campfire hot chocolate (with actual toasted marshmallows in relative peace before it gets cold! The central wing of the building is just a normal cafe, so you don 't have to have children to enjoy the palm house. You are still within earshot of the play area though, so it 's not the quietest place. There is...

We visited today with our 2 young children. The 'soft play ' area is a fenced off carpeted area with a few totally filthy sofas and some toys- almost all of which are broken, missing pieces, ran out of battery, etc. Some complete puzzles are nailed to the wall, but confusingly so high up to be out of most childrens reach. Lots and lots of clearly 2nd/3rd/4th hand/ fit for the dump plastic slides, pushalongs etc, plus a small wooden playhouse with badly splintered wood and clearly visible screws. The slide on it had a large and sharp crack in the side. Needless to say we didnt stay very long. I did purchase a small item for my daughter and while waiting in the queue I heard the woman taking t... Ver carta
