Cannot fault the service or the food My friend had the toasted t cake as I recommended but for the first time I went for the bacon butty- lovely fresh granary bread which was full of very flavoursome bacon- definitely to be repeated We were sat at a table within the shop rather than in the main restaurant which at times can get noisy & busy so prefer the quieter atmosphere of the smaller area Lovely way to spend Sunday morning!

Delicious fresh food and lovely staff.

Met up with some friends. There was a large selection (& prices) of food. The atmosphere was great. Staff were very attentive and the food was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend.

Food was under cookee Toilet was disusting. Dessert choices was crap. Cost over 100 pound for 2 adults and 3 children. Will not be returning

Love everything about this place. Been three times in about the last 6 weeks. The food and service are consistently good. The Scallops starter is delicious. Two for one burgers on a Thursday is an absolute bargain. The atmosphere is buzzing with drinkers and diners all having a marvellous time…we’re just sorry we don’t live in Broad Oak!

Great service. Friendly staff. Got a discount as I am a blue light card holder (just show proof of your card for 10% off) Ok selection of food for the price you pay. Clean tidy environment. Attentive staff around clearing plates or changing food when low.

We both had the king prawn Marie rose open sandwich which was nice but really could do with more prawns especially at £13.95. I’m a regular visitor as I love the garden centre and the cafe has a lovely atmosphere and very good staff. It might be nice to have a normal sandwich on the menu sometime not open ones.

Had a lovely meal on Monday. Food and service was excellent

Another lovely lunch at this great cafe. Food, drinks & service were all excellent

Excellent friendly service and the Sunday Roast was excellent, amazing Yorkshire Puds and plenty of tasty vegetables, especially the Potatoes. ( Meat was excellent and the Vegetarian option also excellent ) You can tell this was cooked by a Chef and not a microwave ! Will be back.

Such friendly and capable staff and the roast pork was to die for - such wonderful flavours and cooked to perfection. I shall certainly be going back.

We have returned for Sunday lunch many times, the kitchen even treat our dogs to the scraps, that says it all!!!

Service was good, food very disappointing. I’d been recommended to eat here as the breakfasts are “amazing” but actually they weren’t at all. Toast was cold. The barn breakfast was ever so disappointing the eggs were cooked how I liked but the bacon was like card board and the sausages were anaemic in the middle but burnt on the ends, quality wasn’t far off a cash and carry sausage. I’m hoping this was a one off as it was busy.

The staff were very friendly, and patient with us as they had to come back twice for our order as we had been chatting and not looking at the menu. The only thing we did order was 2 hot drinks and they took a long time to make and when they were brought over they were lukewarm. The rolls we had were very nice, but a little over priced as they were just under £10 each.
