What a hidden treasure, I never even knew about this place!! Fantastic shop and very friendly staff. We went to the Mad Hatters tea party and I was completely overwhelmed by the amazing effort that had been put into the set and the actors were brilliant!! My children loved it!! I would definitely recommend this place and will be trying the afternoon tea next time
What they have done to improve this place in less than a year is amazing. It's so beautiful, food is delicious and presented well (cake to die for) I have just had my garden done and have got my inspiration here. Beautiful flower/ plant displays and I think the quality of the plants sold here has improved too. Today we bought a garden hose! They do so much! And everyone is so helpful! Not just an eatery �
Amazing Narnia afternoon tea!The best salted caramel eclair!& the coconut snowball wasn’t bad either!�Right befor Christmas,made me feel more festive,was great thanks Sam & Aaron Xxx�I definitely recommend it!!
What a transformation!! Great stock throughout and feels very festive at the moment! ��� The new palm room looks amazing can't wait to try their afternoon tea! Was so impressed with the staff they can't do enough for you - would recommend to any of my friends! Well worth a visit Xx
We went to the Mad Hatters Tea Party this afternoon with our 5yr old twins. It was truly amazing, everyone fully immersed themselves into Characters throughout making it all very believable for ours the interaction was fab as were the yummy tea treats. We definitely recommend this place �
A lovely place to go. The food (and cake) is delicious and the staff so friendly and helpful.
Love coming here and always recommend it x
Popped here to treat my son to some cake after our Narnia and Santa visit at Gunwharf Quay was cancelled. It just so happened that the garden society had Narnia on for Christmas. Unfortunately they were fully booked the day we went but after hearing that we had been let down already, the lovely staff organised for my son to do their Narnia and see Santa.
We had a really wonderful time and my son was so excited to see Santa. I cannot thank the staff here enough. They were brilliant and really generous to let us through at such a busy time. We are very grateful and I have a very happy five year old.
Had a lovely afternoon tea here for my Mum’s birthday. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding, very accommodating and helpful when we had an extra guest. Lots of lovely treasures to browse in the shop as well!
Such a beautiful place. The food is fantastic, staff are so friendly and the garden itself has some love things. They also love dogs, so you can sit and eat inside or out with your favourite for legged friends.
Went today for the mad hatters tea party. Firstly want to say a huge thank you and well done to everyone involved! �� it was ah ma zing!! I am a massive alice fan and i loved every minute! The attention to detail was truly amazing and magical! � everyone who comes; you are in for a treat! Also very good value for money! Please put on more events like this, will defo be back! X
We visited for a wonderful breakfast yesterday for our first visit to the garden society. We had a lovely breakfast and the garden centre was stunning! So many beautiful unique items, we will definitely be visiting again!
All I can say is WOW! Stunning surroundings, delightful staff, amazing food AND Narnia was out of this world! My family and I were blown away by The Garden Society and The Orangery Tea House and cannot wait to return soon. Thank you for an unforgettable day ❤️
This really is a one of a kind Garden Centre. The place is always jam packed with incredibly unusual and unique products. You need to walk around it a few times before you can appreciate all of the wonderful things available! The attention to detail in the Christmas display is amazing and the Narnia themed wonderland, complete with live actors and Santa, is brilliant for the children. I would highly recommend a visit at anytime of the year
Had such a wonderful experience walking through the wardrobe, visiting Narnia and meeting Santa! Carefully selected products are displayed beautifully in the garden centre and all the staff are very friendly yet professional. Oh - and the tea and cake were delicious! I've visited before and will visit again. It is a joy to visit a garden centre that doesn't have a commercial feel to it.
Just got home from the Narnia experience and it was magical! My daughter loved it and so did we! I always recommend you guys as a place to visit. Beautiful stock on your shelves and amazing food in your cafe and now you’ve nailed Christmas too! Keep up the good work, I can’t wait to see what else you have planned.
Wow wow wow � visited the mad hatters tea party today and as a massive Alice in wonderland fan I was not disappointed, it was everything I hoped for and more and my three children loved it too! It was so magical and I actually felt like we were in wonderland ! I’m so glad I found out about you, thank you so much and can’t wait for our Queen of hearts tea next week �
Wonderful evening at Ladies night! Christmas displays were magical, Christmas shopping completed...(have written my Christmas request list from your jewellery and Katie Loxton collection), staff were wonderful and always on hand with a glass of bubbles ��Can’t wait for the next one xx
Gorgeously decorated interior and friendly staff.
The raspberry and chocolate cake was super delicious with a gorgeous fudgy texture, the tangy raspberry splashes throughout were divine!
There was a tiny piece of coffee cake left which was perfect for my smaller appetite. The lady on the till offered it to me at a reduced cost which I was so pleased about.
The coffee was so delicious and beautifully presented.
We didn't have a table number when we ordered so said we would wait and carry our own cake and coffee to a table outside, a friendly waiter said he'd find us anyway and brought it out which was a lovely touch from him!
Unfortunately the wasps were out in force today which made sitting in the garden not quite as relaxing as I can imagine it could be. The staff were on top of clearing tables to help with this problem too which was amazing to see!
Would be better to have availability of menus a little clearer when arriving.
I’ve been here 3 times; the first time was the best experience for me. The food was fab, great atmosphere and a lovely shop. The two other times were not so good. Today my food was greasy and I had brown lettuce which considered the price one does not expect that at all. As a whole, we enjoy visiting mainly for the atmosphere and because of the bird aviary which overlooks the dining area. We didn’t have any cake today but the display looked amazing!
Stunning little restaurant with amazing food. So much choice going to have to come back and try the rest of it. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area. Food was quick, hot well presented and tasted amazing!
Food was lovely, although the satay chicken poke bowl was a little dry. Service was slow, but the staff were reasonably friendly.
Wendy and the team were on form today and a pleasure to be served by...the food was outstanding as always and would throughly recommend to anyone looking for something nice to eat in beautiful surroundings!! Thanks Wendy 💘
A lovely place to have a slice of homemade cake & a cup of coffee or tea. Lots of parking,
Disabled access, although going through the shop might be a bit tricky as some of the walk ways seem quite narrow.
They have a shop full of housewares, a few plush toys, a very small aviary, compact garden centre, & an aquarium right next door.
High chairs for little ones, but if your child is feeling particularly boisterous they could easily break something in the shop, as there are many breakable items within child reach, best to take them out to the garden centre much more room & out in the fresh air!
But be prepared to dig deep as it's quite pricey here.
We had a lovely lunch here with the family, my only complaint is there should be a choice of bread option for toasties. I had bacon brie and cranberry, which was delicious but had to have it on ciabata bread, which is a harder tougher bread. Alot of people opt for brown bread now, when eating bread apart from that it was lovely
Amazingly cute brunch/lunch/coffee place. Such gorgeous décor, very pretty garden centre bits. The food was outstanding! Brunch platter was huge and delicious! Biscoff, pancakes, berries, syrup all beautifully presented. Then eggs Royale which was cooked to perfection. The service was initially very good then quote slow as it got busier. Would 100% recommend! Easy parking, masks recommended indoors.
A beautiful place with a lovely afternoon tea. The staff are very friendly and very welcoming. We can see they are extending their facilities so we shall be going back to see the changes they have made and make a couple of garden purchases
Quaint little cafe which is well decorated.
We went in for a tea and the hope of a tasty treat. It was good to see they has gluten free options, but alas, we are also dairy intolerant and there wasn't an option for us - often the case as it's a very niche set of intolerances.
It wasn't particularly busy and some tables had dirty crockery on them the entire time we were there. The high teas looked good - not something we can eat, but they looked good none the less.
My friend and I had lunch there today and we were very impressed with the food, the portions were generous, well presented and delicious and the service was excellent. There was a really good range of cakes on display which looked really tempting, but we were too full to try them... next time! We loved the aviary which was a nice touch. The tea room had a really nice mix of different areas to sit, including a conservatory and outdoor tables.
Needless to say, my friend and I were most impressed and will be going again soon!
A truly fabulous experience from start to finish, highly recommend to anyone. Staff lovely, food delicious. Tonnes of parking. We had a private room and really recommend this experience - very immersive!
