Lovely place for brunch with the usual baked items & cheesecake slices. My hot breakfast was good, but the scrambled eggs a wee bit overdone for my liking. Gluten free toast available. The tea was hot & a generous serving. A great place for people to meet & gather, we were not rushed on at all & the staff very friendly. Highly recommended. Toilets available.

Have popped by a few times now. Plenty of parking and when it gets busy, there is an over flow car park too.
Toilets are available if needed.
The garden centre is large and has a lot to offer. Even has a lovely walk around the back. Or you can just sit by the lake and enjoy a cup of tea and maybe a meal.
The cafe is a lovely place. Ladies are always helpful and polite. Food is nice enough and not over priced.
Yet if your a vegetarian, you'll have very limited choices.
But a nice slice of cake usually helps me through such limitations. There is something for everyone though.
If your in the area, pop by and enjoy.

The courgette and avocado cake was delicious!!! The cafe was clean, friendly staff, a good menu with lots of cakes and food. Good quality food and value for money.
You can also buy £10 gift vouchers for the cafe, these can be used to buy any food or drink item.

Well what can I say, I've had a wonderful afternoon tea with my 3 daughters and my best friend today. I would highly recommend waterside cafe to anyone for this lovely experience. We stayed for over 2 hours and were not rushed in any way by the lovely staff, especially Ann, who just let us enjoy ourselves. The sandwiches and cakes were delicious, well worth a visit.

The Waterside Cafe is a great little cafe set in the grounds of Wheats garden centre next to the lake.
The food is always excellent, reasonably priced and the staff are always polite and friendly.
Our normal order is either a full breakfast or a lunchtime sandwich, both of which are well presented, tasty and filling.

Visited for the first time last weekend and was so impressed. We stayed a while at the garden centre so had breakfast and then went back later for cake. The food was delicious. Good sized portions and reasonably priced. It's nice to go somewhere you feel you're getting value for money. Bought a voucher for my Mum for afternoon tea as it looked really nice so will definitely be going back. Highly recommend.

Went for Afternoon Tea, a belated birthday present. Had to queue to be seated, but it was very busy, however a table had been reserved for us. Food quickly arrived and looked delicious. Only down side was only filter coffee and breakfast tea included, I usually have decaffeinated drinks. Maybe they should look at that or allow you to pay extra. It was very busy, so noisy and we struggled to get more coffee for my husband. Maybe they should give you a small pot. For the price it was very enjoyable and would definitely return.

We have visited this garden centre for many years but had never visited the cafe.
What a joy! Overlooking the lake and furnished with solid attractive furniture the cafe was clean and welcoming .
My husband ordered steak pie and chips.I had a ham salad with the nicest ham ever tasted. Our bill?£20. How do they provide food of that quality for that price?
Will go again - soon!

Friendly and helpful staff look after you well at this wonderful garden centre cafe, whether you sit outside by the lake with the ducks or inside in the comfy booths. Cakes are great and the coffee and tea give you a lot of choice. Fairly standard lunch menu is a good quality and all at a fair price. Wonderful place to take an older parent or a young child. Why not walk round the lake and meet the fairies before feeding the ducks.
