Lovely place but every time I visited I ask for hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows but they have never got cream or marshmallows, they are advertising Christmas hot chocolate with cream in various flavours
We have visited at different times on different days so it's not an end of day run out
Lovely lunch with a friend a few weeks ago in the gorgeous outside area
Staff went above and beyond our expectations to help us with everything. Food was exceptional it was a delight. The only downside was the price of the wine which was excellent but so expensive for such a small glass. We would recommend it very highly x
Visited this place a few days ago for the first time and it was good. The service from the waiter was exceptional and the best I've ever had, charming, chatty and knowledgeable on the menu. Unfortunately the day I went numerous items were not available, but the food was flavoursome and decent portion size. Definitely would recommend to people passing by.
Very good food in an unlikely setting in a garden centre/retail park. Have eaten here many times and always enjoyed it.
Love the food here and decided to have afternoon tea for my sisters birthday. THIS IS THE BEST AFTERNOON TEA EVER!
Unlimited tea/ coffee very fresh sandwiches and the amazing Italian cakes were so tasty, this is a real treat - go enjoy and see/ taste for yourself.
Last but not least, the most friendliest staff ever, THANK YOU
Lunch time with a friend. Sadly a drink request was not met as this was not available. Drinks arrived in good time. Meals chosen; my aubergine dish was not available! My alternate choice was very flavourful but have suggested to chef, less balsamic is required as I felt it over powered the dish! Lovely surroundings (based inside a garden centre) inside and out, although too windy to sit outside.
Firstly the good things...... Food quality and choice is excellent, risotto was fab! Vegetarian and flesh option. Price was reasonable, although wine was typically restaurant expensive. Area overlooking the gardens could not be faulted!
Now things to improve...... Waiting time was excessively long and had to ask several tones why. Allowed us all to have a good chat though!
Came to an agreeable resolution with the manager over timing issue though and will definitely be back to this establishment.
THIS IS NOT THE CAFE
IT'S THE FORMAL ITALIAN RESTAURANT
Apologies for the capitals, people are leaving reviews for the canteen style café that is situated to the front and side of Terrazzo del Giardino.
Terrazzo del Giardino is a formal Italian restaurant set within the garden centre and it's a fabulous little restaurant with a great menu, great food and great service. You don't normally need to book a table during the week but it's sensible to do so at the weekend. It's family friendly and a favourite in my house.
Enjoyed a vegan late lunch and was impressed with the vegan choices available on the menu. We were told staff would adapt other options to vegan if any had been our preference.
Visited with a baby and asked for bottle warming which was provided promptly.
Ingredients were fresh and it was evident all food was made to order.
Attended for afternoon tea on Monday afternoon as an 81st birthday treat for my mum. The ambience was lovely and on the whole was a pleasant experience. My only constructive criticism is not enough sandwiches, including choice and too many cakes. Tuna, ham and tomato and feta cheese with tomato and onion, although nice could have had another option added. No one liked tuna except one, so maybe a basic chicken or beef sandwich to go alongside them and more added. Three finger sandwiches is not enough. The cakes, whilst plenty and varied seemed to have been in cold storage all day. Room temperature would have made them seem more pleasurable, the result was cake leftovers and this is a no no in my family.
The pots of tea were fantastic and the staff friendly and attentive.
All in all I would give it 7 out of 10 but it could so easily be a 10.
Not wholly put off we'll come again in a few months as it is a lovely place overall to visit.
