The Old Railway Line Garden Centre

I have visited the garden centre many times as I live in close proximity but I've never had lunch there before. The food was excellent and I could have chosen several dishes from their extensive menu. It is busy and I should imagine it will be even more so the lead up to Christmas. They do roast dinners on a Thursday and Sunday. The staff were putting their Christmas stock on display and I must say what a display it is. I have never seen so many different items on show. Well worth a visit just to go there and take a walk around but allow yourself plenty of time if you go with the intention of browsing!

I loved this place. We live in Lincoln and were visiting family in Swansea. There are plenty of parking spaces. Friendly staff. 3 places to eat. We had toasties and fresh cream scones in the cafe. Wonderful and tasty. The toilet was clean. We spent hours looking around the vast areas. Bought lots of reasonable priced Christmas presents 🎁 It was a maze, easy to get lost if it wasn't for the clear signs. We definitely will be back next March when we visit again.

It does not surprise me that this Garden center was voted the best in Britain in 2018 and 2021. Every staff member we encountered were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They had a fabulous selection of plants and flowers and everything else you could ever possibly want. We went there for breakfast thinking it would just be a one off on our long bank holiday weekend travels, but we enjoyed it so much we went back to the cafe every morning for breakfast. The food was great, the ladies serving were excellent and they were especially sweet to our 3 dogs we had with us. If we ever come back this way again, we will be sure to stop back in!!

Fabulous garden centre to visit. They really have a sense of fun with the seasonal displays. So colourful too. My grandchildren love going round to see what's happening with the resident train and tractor, as well as racing with the children's trolleys to pick up the bird feed. There is so much to see and do from flowers to fish, trees, and bushes. Kitchen ware, clothes and gifts, this place has it all! There is a lovely restaurant inside with great views, for a well-earned hot chocolate and homemade cake .. but just as nice is the outdoors coffee n cake stand with seating. Great on a hot day. It's not so nice when it's wet! The garden centre staff are very community minded and helpful as I know some of the local elderly residents have food from the restaurant delivered to them. Fabulous idea as it's quite a trek to the nearest supermarket and not all have local families or cars. Well worth a visit for the plants, but food is lovely too. Great for all ages. October 2022 The autumn displays, including Halloween look fab. Sadly, I forgot my phone for photos ... next time BUT Christmas is coming... check out the grotto and other events. Great for the family and big kids of all ages... My personal favourite is when the llamas, sheep, and donkeys put in appearance 😊 August 2023 Today , I and two little pirates with mini trolleys as ships decided to look for some new pots for our Monsteras. The summer displays are stunning, and we were fortunate to see the planning stages of the Autumn displays being set up. A coffee for me, plenty of cake, and some milkshakes set us up for our mission to find some fabulous pots at great prices. Extra money off too for using our loyalty card!! Can't wait to come again :0)
