A well-located, incredibly tidy and 'shipshape' garden centre in the grounds of Elton Hall. The restaurant has substantial capacity both in and out of doors. Service is prompt and cheerful.
The only difficulty we found was regarding driving. The car park is good - when you get there, although it can suffer from aged persons manoeuvering very badly! However, it is reached by a narrow gate after a sharp early turn off a main road. We got in fine, although we did notice some new visitors like us semi-overshooting. Getting out we had to cope with traffic turning off the A road at speed. and people trying to get in. Nothing much to be done about this, and it certainly does not put off an obviously loyal clientele who appreciate the beautiful setting.
I hope they sell plenty of garden stuff too, since the main attraction seems to be the cafe restaurant. The plants are in a walled garden and very well-protected/kept.
We stopped off for a quick lunch and was surprised, how nice it was. The restaurant was very clean and comfortable nicely decorated with great helpful friendly staff.
Wonderful big warm scones, fruit and cheese ones available. Fresh cakes and freshly made sandwiches are available. The main meals are freshly cooked and are of good size portions. You can have the usual hot drinks or a good range of acholic ones as you like. All together a plasent experience great value for money.
Definitely worth a visit.

Really nice place - we went today for the first time on a whim (Sunday). The walled garden is nice with lots of veg and fruit growing. We have an 8 month old baby and she loved seeing and smelling everything in her sling. We also ate at the restaurant, we didn’t book but we’re seated immediately. There were some empty tables and the wait staff were nice. We had Sunday lunch and met Deborah who is one of the chefs. She was so kind and enthusiastic about the food. A lovely experience and we will return!
Beautiful garden centre. Even the car park is lovely with the wall garden. Not the cheapest for plants but very nice to walk around and had an excellent selection of roses which is what I went for 😊
Superb vegetarian roast dinner - so often I get sold short on portion sizes but this was decent.
Vegetable Wellington with enormous Yorkshire pudding plus all the veg and gravy - challenge accepted. We'll be back for sure - really tasty food 🥰
For me, this is some kind of a happy place to go. For shopping all your garden needs. We had a great time inside the restaurant too. It was nice to hang out with family and friends.🌹🌼
Excellent food in lovely surroundings in the cafe.
Beautiful plants, all the colours wowed you as you went in, also visited the gardens today which were lovely.
Excellent all round service in the garden centre. Brilliant variety of outdoor plants with a constant flow of customers. The popular cafe has reduced the portion sizes served, however, is nice and remains good value for money.
We go there when come to stay with my cousin always get some bargains, had lunch which was very nice the ploughman's was huge. This time I had to use a mobility scooter and managed to get round no problem, hopefully will manage another visit next year.
A very popular place to eat within a scenic garden centre. The room was vibrant, the chairs comfortable and the food was good too. The service was prompt and polite. Everything you could want whether having a meal, afternoon tea or just a drink and a cake. Highly recommended.
