My
friend
and
I
visited
the
centre
last
Thursday
in
May
2023.
The
garden
centre
was
actually
really
great,
dog
friendly,
great
selection
of
products
in
the
shop
and
the
staff
were
pleasant.
It
was
the
cafe
that
was
the
issue.
We
looked
online
to
see
which
cafes
close
to
us
were
open
and
it
is
stated
in
the
website
that
Caulders
is
open
until
5.30.
However,
on
arrival
at
4.50
in
the
cafe,
we
were
told
that
it
was
closed.
I
asked
the
actual
closing
time
of
the
cafe
and
was
told
it
was
5pm.
I
asked
if
we
could
get
a
couple
of
take
away
coffees
and
was
told
the
coffee
machine
was
off.
While
I
understand
the
staff
do
not
make
the
policies,
having
worked
as
a
barista
myself,
I
am
familiar
with
closing
down
procedures
and
the
coffee
machine
should
be
left
on
until
the
actual
stated
closing
time
of
the
cafe.
Specific
cafe
opening
and
closing
times
should
be
stated
on
the
website
and
also
that
you
cannot
get
a
coffee
10
minutes
before
this
closing
time
should
be
explained.
If
it
had
been
on
the
website,
we
would
have
gone
elsewhere
to
save
a
journey
and
a
lot
of
frustration.
Will
not
be
back
again,
to
the
cafe
or
to
the
centre.
The
cafe
is
also
not
dog
friendly,
which
is
weird
as
the
whole
rest
of
the
centre
is!
