read moreNestled within the popular garden centre, this café offers a mixed dining experience. While the ambiance is friendly and the service attentive, the food quality often leaves patrons wanting more. Despite a good selection of sandwiches and made-to-order options, many dishes, such as jacket potatoes and desserts, fall short in flavor and freshness.

However, recent improvements in menu offerings and a cheerful atmosphere are making strides toward a more enjoyable experience. Overall, this café shows potential, but consistency remains an ongoing challenge.
