The hot food laid out like an old motorway service station, under lights and looks like it’s been there ages. Sandwiches bland and boring fillings in bland and boring bread. Sometimes you can get a jacket spud, sometimes you can’t. Earlier in the week I had a ‘salad nicoise’. It was tinned tuna, hard boiled egg, a few bits of tomato and cucumber, couple of bits of boiled potato, all piled on a bed of out of the bag leaves. No dressing available. Since when is that a salad nicoise? I thought the rest of it was hiding underneath, it wasn’t … plus it was over £9! Only vaguely healthy and edible option available. I don’t begrudge paying £9 or more for a decent salad! Friend picked up a lemon meringue pie, but after having a look, put it back as it was dry round the edges. She had scone which was ‘ok’. Drinks fine. Staff are usually young and not over interested in the food or the customers. A kind of ‘computer says no’ attitude. No slur on young workers at all, just an observation in this case. It is clean though, I’ll give them that. Unlike the revolting toilets, but they’re in the garden centre itself. This place could be a goldmine. It’s owned by the Tongue Garden Centre group now. The cafés in their other branches are excellent, but for some reason they’ve overlooked Otley. Great shame. After your shopping, go in to Otley and support all the lovely independent cafés. See you there!

When we sat down an elderly gentleman came over to our table, he said that he'd ordered 2x bacon sandwich at a hefty price (I might add) and this was to big for him, he didn't realise what he was getting. Why on earth they didn't explain to him , I don't know ... anyway I don't think that we'll be back. The gentleman went home with what he couldn't eat.
