What User likes about Arboretum Home Garden Heaven:
Accompanied by my wife and son we stopped off here for a morning coffee the coffee was great, the flapjacks delicious and the service excellent, prompt, efficient and friendly. It's a quirky place with a pleasant homely feel, merging successfully a café, florist and craft shop, all in one! Whilst we were there most of the customers appeared to be local, a sure sign that whatever those who run this business are doing... View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Arboretum Home Garden Heaven:

Good choice of hot food and more than ample portions

Just a beautiful place that sells plants and flowers and the restaurant is imacculate with the most friendly helpful staff

Nestled within a scenic garden center, this restaurant boasts a reputation for exceptional service and a welcoming atmosphere. Staff members are notably accommodating, particularly for those with mobility challenges, ensuring a positive dining experience. While the menu features delicious, fresh cuisine, some recent meals fell short of expectations, with dry offerings and limited dessert selection. Despite occasional lapses in freshness and festive ambiance, the café remains a beloved local gem, renowned for its quality food, ample gluten-free options, and charming setting. For an enriching dining experience, visitors continue to recommend this inviting establishment.
