A family owned cafe at a garden centre, serving mainly sandwiches and salads, cakes and pastries. It's nice to have a drink while enjoying the fresh air

Like a lovely, simple garden room catered by reeeeally good chefs...delicious food, yummy sandwiches, cakes and soups and a smashing mug of cappuccino. Really looking forward to seeing it at dusk as there's string lights evvvverywhere and I just *know* it'll be magical looking with those lights twinkling. Lovely selection of plants, too..and a real plus was hearing the little river running by. Entering through an arch in the hedge from the car park made me feel like a kid again, reading "The Secret Garden"

Not the cheapest place on earth, and can feel very cramped when it's busy due to the size and table layout - however lovely staff and good food. They don't offer many menu items, but what they do, they do very well.
