Nestled in a vibrant garden center, this restaurant showcases a charming blend of café and dining experiences. While the bustling atmosphere sometimes leads to service delays, the attentive staff strive to ensure a pleasant visit. Diners can enjoy delightful afternoon teas, featuring fresh sandwiches and scrumptious cakes. Breakfast and lunch options offer a mix of quality, though some dishes fall short on execution. However, generous portions of roast dinners and well-prepared meals consistently impress. With a variety of offerings, this spot is worth a visit, especially for those exploring the garden center's treasures.
